How The Case Was Solved

Police first became suspicious when Ashley Todd claimed that a large black man mugged her, raped her, carved a B in her face for Barack, and then ran off shouting, "Now I'm going to apply for a subprime mortage which the federal government will force the bank to give me under the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act!"

"And I'm entitled to carve this 'B' backwards because no one made me take a test to hold me accountable for my alphabet skills in the first grade because of the soft bigotry of low expectations!"

Excellent! When are these idiots going to find a new faux perp?

So, did she carve a "B" on her face herself while looking in a mirror? And gave herself a black eye?

This is remarkable devotion, I must say. I am impressed.

Further shouting as he ran off: "I can't wait to vote on election day under the multiple comic-book identities I was given by the ACORN registration worker!!"

Even Ron Paul volunteers thought she was nuts. Now *that's* crazy you can take to the bank.
