Surprising absolutely no one, the lady who was allegedly attacked by a black man who carved a backwards “B” on her face after mugging her, apparently because he saw her bumper sticker that said McCain, has confessed that she made the story up. Police have now said that they suspected her story from the beginning; they say it’s because the “B” was backwards, but I also suspected it because people robbing people tend to want to get the money and run, not start carving into people’s faces, and because I think even the meekest of people would offer resistance when someone starts to carve stuff into their face, making it hard to complete the “B,” or because it seems odd that the mugger would have known which car was hers, or taken the time to notice her bumper sticker while he was engaged in mugging her, or just because the whole thing made no sense at all?
