The Amish Cook from Oasis Newsfeatures

I was intrigued by several news outlets in the Evansville, Indiana and western Kentucky area announcing a "hit and run accident" by a horse-drawn buggy.   Well, it was initially reported as that, but very quickly, once everything was sorted out, it turned that the incident was not a "hit and run" at all.  But that hasn't stopped KFVS television out of Cape Girardeau, Missouri - and others - from running the headline on their website all day "KY state truck damaged in hit and run by Amish horse and buggy."  I admit, it would be a novel story IF it were true.  Read what actually happened in this article out of the Evansville Courier and Press.   I'm just hyper-sensitive to media obsession with the Amish. If it had been a car that dinged a state vehicle and drove off it would have never made the news.  But it does with the Amish and I actually do, in this case, understand why...I mean, we'd all be snickering a little if a buggy actually did a hit and run.  And I think it has happened before.  But in this case it didn't happen and yet some news-oulets still couldn't help themselves by running the irresistable - but inaccurate - headline.  SIGH.
