Ashley Todd

When I first saw the headline in BOLD RED LETTERS on the DrudgeReport, I thought how crazy, how wild. And how idiotic of Drudge to report something in the fashion that he did which could only increase hatred, incite emotional feelings, and of course pit one segment of society against the other. I immediately sent an email to the DrudgeReport expressing my disbelief in his biased and poor reporting, whatever good that will do. 

A few minutes later the BOLD RED had been reduced to normal black letters.

I continue to think this story doesn't make any sense and is politically motivated or something beyond what a normal mind can fathom. In case your clueless about what I'm referring to, let me review.

Drudge initially reported that a Republican worker was MUTILATED and the letter B was CARVED into here face. Come on Drudge, a little less sensationalism pleasde. She (Ashley Todd) was not mutilated and the CARVING is more like a scratch. And the B? It looks like something someone would do looking in a mirror and doing it backwards.

Her name was not released. She didn't go to the hospital. The police didn't take a picture and yet one shows up on the internet. How's that happen?

Ashley Todd claims that Wednesday night she was attacked at knifepoint in Pittsburgh, and that it somehow had to do with a McCain sticker on her car. The mugger, obviously an Obama supporter, robbed Todd and then carved a “B” in her face. I suppose we are to believe this “B” is for Barack?

"Several inconsistencies" have emerged in the statements made by a John McCain volunteer who claims she was robbed at knife point in Pittsburgh by an attacker who cut a "B" into her face after noticing a McCain bumper sticker on her car. Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard told FOXNews.com on Friday that Ashley Todd, 20, says she was groped by a robber and lost consciousness during Wednesday's alleged assault at an ATM.

Now she was groped?

And now she says she lost consciousness?

I'm not buying any of it; however, the biased DrudgeReport is for obvious reasons.   :-(

Michael Jackson Memorial Day

By: John Kozy | 08/07/2009
Michael Jackson had no peace in life, and it is unlikely that the media will allow him to rest in peace in death. Hell hath no pain greater than that which can be inflicted by media moguls whose only goal is to turn tragedy into orgies of entertainment. This media now feigns honor, but the authentic honor comes only from his fans who displayed true civility and profound humanity during his memorial service, proving once again that true virtue lies only within the hearts of common people.

Lawmakers Bill Taxpayers For TVs, Cameras, Lexus

By: John Kozy | 05/07/2009
The Congress enacts legislation for itself which provides itself with what are essentially employee benefits. So it treats its members as employees of themselves. In doing so, the Congress provides taxpayer subsidized employee benefits to its members that it refuses to provide to the people Congressmen represent.

Credible News Sources

By: Uday Gunjikar | 05/07/2009
The news networks seem to be less about the news and more about pandering to politicians. Where can we turn for our daily dose of credible, cutting-edge, hard-hitting news and keep up-to-date with current events in our increasingly fast-paced modern society? If we cannot trust the news networks to deliver credible news that meets high standards of quality and objectivity, where can we find reliable news sources?
