I Found a Penny in the Walmart Parking Lot Last Week

$2 photo bought in Fresno turns out to be $5 million image of Billy the Kid  

Here's a link to the rebuttal and the rebuttal to the rebuttals.  I guess we need to watch the TV show.

Hat tip to Art Scott.

Do yourself a favor and don't watch the accompanying video of the related news story. The woman reading the story stumbles over every two-syllable word and doesn't seem to have a clue who Billy the Kid was, what a tintype is, or even what croquet is!

Maybe she was just having a bad night.

With a teaser like that, how could I not watch the video? You nailed it, Deb. An embarrassing example of how, apparently, cute & perky trumps minimally competent in the local news biz in small markets (KOB is in Albuquerque). For Patrick Kelley's sake, I hope he's found a better source of local news than this outfit.

And I didn't even mention the fatuous guy at the end of the story who says of croquet, "A fun way to unwind after a day of committing crimes."

/My advice to him, don't try to improvise!

I think I read--and I think it was on a comment on this blog--a pretty convincing take-down of the identification of that picture.

That was the Jesse James picture. This one just might be the real thing.
