Tiffany Hartley Blames Mexican Pirates (and Barack Obama) for Her Husband’s Death … but Does She Bear a Closer Look?

Okay, so here’s Tiffany Hartley’s story: On September 30th, she and her husband, David, were sightseeing on Falcon Lake in Texas. Things got ugly fast, though, when they crossed into Mexican waters on their jet skis to look at a church. A speedboat full of gunmen in an area that has a number of “pirating” incidents pursued them, presumably to pillage their Polaris. Her husband was shot in the head, and his body has not yet been recovered. These evil pirates held a gun on Tiffany Hartley as well, if she’s to be believed, then just randomly decided to speed off.

Oh yeah, and this is evidently Barack Obama’s fault.

From Fox News:

Tiffany Hartley, the wife of David Hartley who was allegedly shot and killed by Mexican pirates on a border lake with Texas, is telling President Obama that it’s time to take on drug cartels.

“He should wake up and look what’s going on in our backyards,” she told the Denver Post.

Hartley says her husband’s death should be a focal point as to why the U.S. should take on these drug cartels.

Flight Attendant Steven Slater, Hailed as a “Folk Hero”, Defended By His Ex-Wife

If you haven’t heard the name “Steven Slater” (not to be confused with sociopathic teen Steven Spader), you must be living sans television or internet. Slater, who frankly strikes me as a glib, opportunistic attention whore, is inexplicably being hailed by many as a “folk hero” for his recent shenanigans at JFK Airport.

Perhaps the “folk tale” aspect isn’t far from accurate as the story seems to change every hour and Slater grows exponentially more mythical. Indeed, when the story first broke, it seemed like a standard case of “working class hero has enough.”

The basic story was that Slater, a JetBlue flight attendant, got pissed off when a female passenger refused to apologize to him after her luggage hit him on the head. Even worse, the passenger swore at him, and Slater snapped after putting up with rude, pushy airline passengers for thirty years. He announced via a profanity-laced intercom announcement that he was quitting, then grabbed a couple of beers, activated the emergency exit slide, and left his career in impeccable style.

Yeah, that would have been kind of a cool story. If it had been the truth. However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Slater was not a hardworking guy that got pushed too far and instead just another asshole.

From CBS News:

[The Wall Street Journal] spoke to one passenger, 53-year-old school teacher Marjorie Briskin, who said it was Slater who cursed first at a female passenger who simply asked him where her luggage was stowed.

“I didn’t think she was rude in the least. (He) was so inappropriate,” Briskin is quoted by the paper.

Another passenger, Lauren Dominijanni, reported asking Slater for a towel to clean up some coffee on her seat. She said Slater, “rolled his eyes in a real rude manner”.. then barked “No. Maybe when we get in the air. I need to take care of myself first, honey.” “It wasn’t normal.. I felt so uncomfortable on that flight.”
