January 28, 2008: This is a farce, a purported piece of journalism that is nothing but fiction, including every "and" and "the."  Inasmuch it's purportedly about the city in which I grew up and in which I live now, I would know.  "Shaker Heights was the perfect storm: poor folks, unemployed and a desire to get a piece of the American Dream"?  Who is Breitbart.com, and why is it publishing such outlandish lies?  And what is it with people who will believe anything they read on the internet as long as it confirms what they already feel?  Oh, I see: Matt Drudge linked to the Breitbart story.  If Drudge linked to it, it must be true, right?

Be very careful about which stories you believe.
