What If No One Started the Fire?
We love it when scum-sucking dumbasses and the legal system intersect, so, unsurprisingly, we were a big fan of the following story: Out in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the city made popular by the Billy Joel ditty, Cassey Weierbach, 27, has stooped to heretofore unheard levels of assholery. Indeed, the woman has been traveling the lecture circuit for a while with her inspirational story about surviving being raped and infected with AIDS as a child.
The only problem: She made it all up.
The state has since charged her with deception, forgery, tampering with evidence, and making false statements, alleging that Weierbach defrauded Pennsylvania taxpayers of $66,000 in medical benefits. And that doesn’t even include the amounts she must have earned from telling her “story” to churches, youth groups, and medical conferences. Weierbach has further been accused of falsifying laboratory records to show she had the disease, a fabrication that was revealed, in part, when she refused AIDS medication.
It brings a whole new meaning to the first lyric of “Allentown’s” chorus: They never taught us what was real. Cassey Weierbach: You win today’s gold medal for most despicable person in all of Pennsylvania.

If you have ever visited Allentown then you would come to expect this type of garbage from one of its up-standing citizens.
