Uh Oh...   [Jonah Goldberg]

Wild, sensational, headline on Drudge:

'B' CARVED INTO 20-YEAR OLD WOMAN'S FACE... DEVELOPING...

SHOCK: MCCAIN VOLUNTEER ATTACKED AND MUTILATED IN PITTSBURGH

Update: Details:

A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, police said.
Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard tells Channel 4 Action News that the victim was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night outside of a Citizens Bank near Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m.
Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said.

Update II: Hmm. The backwards B does look like something you'd do in a mirror, no?

Update III: From a reader:

Uh…if the attacker was standing over the victim and the top of her head was by his feet (in other words, “upside-down” to the attacker), then that is not a backwards B
