What Are 222 Stab Wounds Between Friends?
Since last week, the Huffington Post has a gleaming tribute to their late reporter cum murderer Carol Anne Burger, of whom they gush:
The circumstances of her death remain unclear; police believe she may have taken her own life after learning that her roommate – and former partner – had been found dead.
Um, yeah. That’s one way to look at it, I suppose. A more comprehensive explanation is that she took her life after learning that cops were on to the reason why her roommate and former partner had been found dead. No hint at all of the fact that St. Burger herself might have had anything to do with it, no sirree.
The Huffpost further gushes on their dearly departed murderer:
Vermonter Christian Avard – who worked with Carol Anne on her final dispatch – wrote that she was “always fun to work with, cheerful, and always very supportive. We are all very lucky to have Carol Anne be a part of the Off the Bus family.”
Jessica Kalish was unavailable for comment. Meanwhile, the HuffPo invites readers to post only nice things about their dearly departed writer, who aside from stabbing her ex-lover 222 times with a Philips head screwdriver, was apparently a real sweetheart:
Carol Anne will be deeply missed. Please use the comment section below if you wish to offer her family and friends your condolences.
As best I can tell, all the commenters bemoan the terrible tragedy of their wonderful writer having been so pained by Jessica Kalish’s death (presumably caused by Some Black Guy or some McCain-supporting homophobe) that she felt she could no longer go on living herself. Granted, all the details weren’t known when the post originally went up on Saturday, October 25, but now? All they have is a brief update, which reads in full:
