Good news: there is no shortage of consienceless bastards after all!

This just in: a Florida pilot who offered the use of his plane to rescue sick children after Hurricane Katrina received $80,000 in donations from the U.S. and overseas, to help cover the cost of fuel. One of the children was described as an infant in need of a heart transplant.

He pocketed the money. In fact, he made the whole thing up.

Let's hear it for free enterprise. Like amicus says, we are all driven by self interest, and that is what makes the market assume its natural and inevitable regulatory function.

Is it too late to make like Wonder Woman and use my invisible plane? I could use an extra $80k.

Damn my parents for teaching me right from wrong, and compassion.

seems to me that with any natural disaster...well, any disaster really, people either are saints or satans. hard to find the in betweens.

There was a guy that filed a false claim after 9-11 that his partner had died in the WTC. He wound up getting something like $600k. He made it all up too.

It's sad, but it's a reality of life.

Look for this man to receive the next available appointment to Secretary of the Treasury.

No sweetheart, and they haven't heard of payback either. They do learn eventually though.

Hey Muffin, welcome back. How have you been? Well I hope. We've missed your laid back style of micturating up a twisted hemp cord. I'm hoping your no longer impacted and are able to stay with us for a while.

It may have been one of Jeb's kids. I'll let you know.

Let's come up with a victimless scam.

The scam I wish I'd thought of first was entirely legal and happened during the 80's. A couple who had some of those credit cards that earn airline miles figured out that they didn't have to use their cards for purchases to earn the miles - they could take cash advances and then immediately use the cash advance to pay the full balance.

Because of them, the rules were changed so that cash advances didn't earn miles. But before it happened, the couple had traveled first class dozens of times, including a U.S.-to-Australia vacation, on redeemed frequent flyer miles that cost them nothing.

When I saw their story on Sixty Minutes, I remember thinking how stupid the rest of us were for missing something so obvious. I'm glad my parents raised me to be compassionate, but I wish they had also taught me to look for the loopholes.

Good luck with everything and all.

Sometimes the natural regulatory function becomes, well, constipated. When that happens, an early symptom is tens of thousands of SUVs backed up, out of gas, evacuating a city built by oil money, to escape a disaster influenced by global warming.

A dose of Milk of Magnesia usually gets things back to normal.

Oh God.
They're all back.

Sure, nobody likes my idea of public stonings and vigilante violence, but we all know we would be picking nice rocks out for this bastard and buy a new shirt for the occasion.

Regretfully I'd only be able to make a(singular) snowball every three or four years where I live,
maybe I can use cornbread
