What you need is a deranged go-go dancer who is feverishly applying lipstick to the plastic wrap that is covering her mouth.

 

I have nothing else to say. Links are here and here.

The New York Post has the story:

The former CEO of the leading supplier of body armor to U.S. soldiers in Iraq was charged yesterday with looting the company to bankroll a lavish lifestyle that included a $10 million bat mitzvah for his daughter.

In addition to the bat mitzvah - which included performances by Aerosmith, 50 Cent, Tom Petty, Kenny G and the Eagles - prosecutors said David Brooks got the firm, DHB Industries, to pay for other goodies.

Among them were a face lift for his ex-wife; vitamins for his stable of 100 horses; pricey vacations; fancy jewels; an armored car; a $194,000 Bentley; and a $100,000 diamond-studded belt buckle.

The elaborate scheme exploded yesterday when federal prosecutors unsealed a 21-count indictment accusing Brooks, 53, of securities fraud, insider trading, tax evasion and obstruction of justice. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Sandra Hatfield, 54, the company’s former chief operating officer, was hit with similar charges.

Kenny G AND 50 Cent? I bet that was some green room.

And it happened this weekend.

Reminds me a bit of this old Tom Petty video. A song I hated when it first came out, but which later became one of my fave TP songs.

From the Enlightment Card website:

Some people say money is evil…

We say “how” money is used determines the effect.

Welcome to the Enlightenment Card vision: a membership and a Visa Reward Card program. When you apply for our card, it automatically enrolls you into our free membership program that can be used for discounts on health-conscious stores, products, and services.

The Enlightenment Visa Reward Card was founded on the idea that money is energy and if used with positive and integrative intention, can have the power to affect change in our lives and the world. Everyone uses a credit card, so why not have one where people can earn points towards positive products and services that enhances their overall conscious life? Some of the categories of rewards you can earn points toward are: Travel, Retreats + Workshops, Yoga Classes, Organic Products, Holistic Spa Treatments, Books + DVD’s, Merchandise, or use your points to donate to a charity.

Man, wish I’d thought of this first! In the corner of my mind, I still think(hope? pray?) it might be a joke.
