Madoff, Limbaugh & A Master Of Disguise
Happy Birthday today to Anna Kournikova.
She is 29 today. Jenny Jones is 64, and Ken "Eddie Haskell" Osmond from the old Leave It To Beaver show is 67 today.
...........and for those of you too young to remember, yes, there really was a TV show years ago called "Leave It To Beaver". You probably couldn't get away with that title these days
What I did find unusual, is who supplied the entertainment at the reception. It was Elton John. Elton John performing at Rush Limbaugh's wedding?? Tell me that's not completely out of whack. It turns out Rush paid John $1 million to appear. The only thing I can figure here is that Elton is getting older. Maybe he misunderstood. Maybe he thought he was signing up to headline for the band Rush.
In a profile being put together for "New York" magazine, this unnamed inmate said Madoff is a bit of a hero among his fellow convicts. He added that Madoff apparently has little sympathy for his victims. He said, "I carried them for 20 years, and now I'm doing 150 years....". It's a shame this guy is in his seventies and won't get to serve his entire sentence.

As usual, he married a chickie poo much younger than he is (26 years younger).

Madoff is currently serving time at North Carolina's Butner Federal Correctional Complex.

He added that Madoff apparently has little sympathy for his victims. He said, "I carried them for 20 years, and now I'm doing 150 years....". It's a shame this guy is in his seventies and won't get to serve his entire sentence.............and am I the only one who finds it ironic that he's serving his time at a facility called BUT-ner?
Finally, an incredibly dumb criminal in Norman, Ohio. Twenty-eight year old Vaughn Roy Jones (how come dumb criminals always have three names?) walked into the Cleveland County Courthouse on Tuesday of last week, and had to empty his pockets and put the contents into a bowl that was to go through an x-ray machine. According to Cleveland County Undersheriff Rhett Burnett (sounds like a porn star), one of the items Jones dropped into the bowl was a bag of marijuana. When he realized what he did, he turn around and ran from the building. Police went after him, but Jones managed to escape. Along with the marijuana, he also left behind a food stamps card which did NOT belong to him.
Now, here's the part that's hard to believe, but true. Jones showed up at the very same courthouse.....................the very next day.............at almost the exact same time.............with the same deputies working the door. However, this time when he showed up, he was wearing a hat. I guess he thought that was a pretty clever disguise and that the deputies wouldn't recognize him. They did. He was arrested for possession for false identification, resisting an officer, and possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
His bail was set at $7,000.00.
Officer Burnett said, "It wasn't a very good disguise. All he did was put on a hat".
In Jones' defense, I'll say this: It probably seems like a really.....really.........REALLY clever disguise............when you're stoned.
