I can't believe these two thought they would get away with this
funny. KO already did a segment I believe this past Wednesday

Immediately, Fred Thompson came to mind.

If Bush and Cheney weren't wealthy, they'd doing this type of stupid shit.

Speaking of crooks.... the Bush Banana Republic

Now could be a good time to take another look at the BCCI-Osama-Saddam-Saudi-Bush connection..

Dalaia and O'Hare are not the dummies this post makes them appear.

They own a twenty-six room 'cottage' on Martha's Vineyard, plus a two-story, fifteen-room 'apartment' in Trump's Tower.

Their entire source of income is the result of the 'accomodations' they have arranged with NYC funeral directors, to 'borrow' corpses for their ingenious check-cashing business, which they have been operating for almost fifteen years.

They consider the 'incident' in Hell's Kitchen to be a mere 'blip' in their plans, and since their ingenious cover story apparently worked with the police, they'll be back in business tomorrow.

In similar news. Marion Jones is going to jail. The Marine, Lance Cpl. Maria Frances Lauterbach, is pronounced dead. And Debra LaFave is not going to jail. Meanwhile Democracy goes on as planned.

this is Chicago School economics in action. The middle class is dead

Americans are in debt 2.7 Trillion. Thats just the lower to upper middle class.

Imagine not having a job or no credit or no pot to piss in.

..yep & just wait until the U.S. credit rating is lowered, and China won't lend us the relatively cheap & easy money to fund debt...Depression Express !

Gold will be $2,000 per oz. & gas will be $10 per gallon.

I like an occasional gossipy story about Chris Matthews and Oddball type news. But I prefer that mixed in to give us a break from the true hard hitting stories that are affecting us day to day. A steady diet of distraction news can be found on any news cable network. I come to the blogs for a more serious take on issues that the military industrial complex media chooses not to cover.

I hope C&L continues to expose the Crooks and Liars in our society who profit from greed and corruption at our expense.

Right and a bag of groceries will be one ounce of gold and a car fill up two ounces of gold.

Much to dismay of Gold holders.

Never underestimate greed and ruthlessness.

Great Point L.A. Lately I've been turned off by your seemingly pervasive mood of pessimism, but this story is spot on. WTF are we doing privatizing our criminal justice system. No wonder we have to pay for harmless pot heads to be locked up. I'm glad you pointed this crap out to me. Follow the Money. It always seems to go down to that. The more you learn the more hopeless it all seems, I'll say that. Especially if we have to speak the about the truth in hushed tones as to not offend anyone. An open educated society is the only hope we have to turn this corporate culture around. Peace.

This speaks to the problems in this country that result from lack of health care - specifically mental health care. Drug addiction is vastly overlapped by the problems of the mentally ill and lack of affordable and even available treatment in the US. They just throw them all in jail. Problem solved. Except it's not.

Why can't more people put the "Shock Doctrine" together with motive and means and speak plainly about the crimes in this country. If you think people wait around for Shocking Events to profit from you are crazy. A lot of them probably plan them as well. Day to Day digestion of the news is hollow if you don't put it in a historical context. Corporate Mergers. Privatization of The Commons. Wars for Natural Resources. Damn.

Speaking of Money and Banks...

Lets find out where the presidential candidates stand on off shore accounts and money laundering...

They could have gotten away with it if they had a boom box playing some Caribbean steel drum music.

I can't laugh at the desperation that drove these fools to try that mess.

john doe @ 37:

How is stealing from the dead any worse than what the Bush cartel is doing? That is stealing from the unborn.

That's what the national debt is. Your children's inheritance or the abortion of their financial future.

Wish I could illustrate this... In the print edition of the NYT, there were pictures of the idiot perpetrators and their dead friend -- who looks amazingly like the late title character of the Bernie movies.

Unfortunately, the pix aren't on the web version of the story.

pissed off patricia @ 29:

How the hell did they plan to pull this off? I would like to hear their original plan. I'm sorry, maybe it's not supposed to be funny and maybe I'm a bad person, but to me, it's funny. Now, do I have to sit in the corner until I can be a good girl?

Yes you do. LOL!

Hell's Kitchen is not called so for nothin'. 9th Avenue (the 'location' around the West 50th Street) on the far West Side was never a fashionable address/place, even around the 57th Street, the most posh part of the 9th, just few blocks up from this check cashing place.

Although there are expensive hi-rises (30-40-50 floors, residential and office) built lately just one block to the east of the 'location', ~ 8th Ave (studios for $3,000/ month, one-bedrooms $3-5,000/month, and so on), west of the 9th Ave there still is the Wild West, with many SROs (single room occupancy flop houses), and where all kinds of people deal w/life-death problems the best they can. Using any chair w/ wheels to transport smthg wouldn't be that unusual in that neighborhood. Of course not the corpse. Despair, and maybe coke must have fueled this failed caper.

Keep in mind, even we are not as free-wheeling here as 30 yrs ago, Studio 54 was abt 3 blocks from the 'location', Broadway theatres are 3-5 minutes away - this is the most free-wheeling part of Manhattan, even with hookers and johns almost gone and 'gentrification' killing the character and skyrocketing prices and cost of living. These guys are old-time NYorkers - the newcomers are much more stiff, (w/ more 'airs'), regardless do they come from anyplace in US, or the world, any society level.

Manhattan sees little dogs riding in the baby carriages (on the UES I see them often), still all kinds of excentrics that would be arrested in Phoenix, AZ, by Sheriff Joe Arpaio's thugs, just for being/dressing/behaving the way they are. The Gotbaum /NYC/ death at Phoenix airport in October would never happen in NYC, she would get medical assistance. People ARE more flex in NYC than anywhere West of us (sometimes too flex..), and more so in that part of town. Despite 9/11 (I used to work in the WTC for many years), and Chertoff's blather today again how much we need more protection via the the National 'REAL ID'.

From the independent blogger on the Reuters.com:

" Two guys are pushing a dead man in an office chair, see, trying to cash his Social Security check, and… No, that’s not a joke, it really happened in New York.

What’s amazing is they were charged with attempted forgery, but it turned out it was not illegal to wheel a chair around with a body in it!

Once word of this gets out, who knows where it will lead, what with this being New York City and all? I’m predicting…

* A Fifth Avenue parade, called Remains to be Seen, to show off the recently deceased
* A Central Park cadaver race, named, of course, Dead Heat !
* An ad campaign where a furniture maker claims its chairs can roll corpses across town the fastest""

As gross as it sounds, might happen ..

My personal "ONLY in New York" favorite was this NYT entry on the Earth Day 2004, esp. the comment from another NYorker. It tells a lot about us and our City .. No matter how much Rudy and Bloomberg try to scare us.

CENTRAL PARK SEX DUO GETS COPS UP TREE

By MARK BULLIET and ERIKA MARTINEZ

April 23, 2004 -- A pre-op transsexual and "her" male lover yesterday stripped off their
clothes, climbed up a Central Park tree, then spent four hours engaging in sex acts and
pelting would-be rescuers with profanity and branches. It took four hours before police hostage negotiators talked the pair into descending from their three-story-high perch in a larch tree near Wollman Rink.

"It's a treesome," one cop said of the loony lovebirds, who were whisked off to the
psychiatric ward at Cornell Medical Center. The arboreal aberration attracted hundreds of gawkers and left dozens of emergency personnel stumped.

Firefighters set up an inflatable rescue mattress around the base of the tree, where the pair had left their clothes and a plastic bag filled with what cops called an assortment of drugs.

The Parks Department sent in two cherry-picker trucks. Emergency Service Unit cops
ascended in harnesses. Police hostage negotiators recorded their demands: One Diet Vanilla Pepsi.

But up in the larch tree - a rare evergreen with pine-like needles - the 32-year-old,
female-breasted transsexual in a purple thong continued cursing, and her 17-year-old blond boyfriend in boxer shorts cowered in apparent fright.

Both were heard shouting that they have AIDS and that their parents disapproved of them. Both remained uncooperative - except, and apparently to an extreme, with each other. Even the Pepsi bottle was flung back down.

The two finally boughed out of their misadventure at around 8:30 p.m.

"We thought it was an ecological statement for Earth Day, but it's just transvestites," said Brian Mallard, 26, of Long Island City. ""

And, this could happen, too, as reported by Murdoch's NYPost:

'BERNIE' STAR DEAD SERIOUS
By LUKAS I. ALPERT and PHILIP MESSING

January 11, 2008 -- The actor who played the charismatic corpse in "Weekend at Bernie's" said yesterday he may offer movie parts to the two hustlers who were busted for propping their dead pal up in a chair and trying to cash his welfare check. [[it must have been the SS check as reported by others, could not be a welfare check, which would be max at $68.50 for a single person in NYC]]

Terry Kiser, who starred in the 1989 cult classic and its kooky sequel, said a script for a third installment has been kicking around Tinseltown for ages. """
