So has this site completely given up on the idea of “reporting”? Do you consider it your job to act as this woman’s publicist when major portions of her story don’t add up? If this was a white woman, would you be showing her the same deference? Didn’t Gawker/ Deadspin chastise other media outlets for not investigating…

The parasol just underscores the ridiculousness that on a brutal desert planet, not a single person thinks to put on sunglasses.

I’ve been playing guitar for over 50 years; what I lack in talent I make up for in longevity. I got started during the folk music craze of the early ‘60s; Peter, Paul and Mary were my heroes. I’ve had a long succession of acoustic, and a few electric guitars, finally getting my long-desired Martin Dreadnaught.
