Pittsburgh Steelers Linebacker James Harrison is skipping the team’s trip to the White House to visit Barack Obama as Superbowl champions.

After the Pittsburgh City Council passed one of those bizarre “must report your lost-or-stolen-gun” laws by a lopsided 6-1 vote, Councilwoman Tonya Payne took to the microphones to remind those of us who respect the founding documents of our state and federal governments exactly what we’re up against.
“Who really cares about it being unconstitutional?” said Councilwoman Tonya Payne, a supporter. “This is what’s right to do, and if this means that we have to go out and have a court battle, then that’s fine … We have plenty of dead bodies coming up in our streets every single day, and that is unacceptable.”

Ashley Todd, the 20-year old College Republican who says she was robbed at a Pittsburgh ATM and slashed in the face in retaliation for her support of Presidential candidate John McCain has changed her story according to police.
The student, Ashley Todd, of College Station, Texas, initially said a black man robbed her at knifepoint Wednesday night and then cut her cheek after seeing a McCain sticker on her car.
Police say bank surveillance footage doesn’t show her at an ATM where she says she was attacked.
Todd, who is white, now says she was knocked unconscious and doesn’t remember being cut. She now says she only discovered the wound later.
If the police are accurate, the veracity of this story is not looking good.
UPDATE: Hoax.
