In This Corner……Bernie Madoff

On the weekends I like to try and lighten up the tone from the rest of the week……most news is serious in content….but every now and then I find a report that I feel needs a shout out….and this is one such report…..in the past it was reported that he had fallen out of bed….then I said sure….and the woman with a black eye was hit by a door knob….sorry …I digress……

Bernie Madoff had his nose broken by another inmate in December, Dionne Searcy and Amir Efrati of the WSJ report, citing three people familiar with what happened.

The Bureau of Prisons denies the incident, as does Madoff (who presumably doesn’t want to get beaten up again for being a snitch).

Mr. Madoff was treated for a broken nose, fractured ribs and cuts to his head and face, according to a felon currently at Butner serving time on drug charges who was familiar with his condition at the time. The details of the injuries couldn’t be independently verified.

The former inmate said the dispute centered on money the assailant thought he was owed by Mr. Madoff.

Now there is an idea……let all the people that he screwed have a couple of shots at him…they may not see any of their stolen money but they would feel a whole lot better….Just a thought……

A Prius Of A Story–Part Deux

I recently ranted about the California Prius crash and how they tried to make the guy look like some scam artist…Toyota has tried to blame everything but their car for the problem….I even heard a guy say it was caused by Cosmic Radiation…..I do not know if he was serious or just being a smart ass……but sounds like the crap they are trying to say in the media……

As usual there is more to this story…..seems like the Prius is not a California problem solely……

Another incident has been reported of an unintended acceleration of a Toyota Prius and United States authorities are investigating.

Federal regulators are looking into an accident that occurred on Tuesday in Harrison, New York, when a 56-year old woman in a 2005 Toyota Prius was pulling out of a driveway when the car suddenly shot across the street and crashed into a stone wall. The driver sustained non-life threatening injuries.

The crash was reported to be very violent, according to local police. With some of the boulders on the stone wall, weighing between 500 and 1000 pounds (225 to 450 kg), thrown several feet after impact. Police say the floor mat was not the problem and that the car had already been taken into a local Toyota dealer due to the recall that is in effect.

I cannot wait to see just how they try to demonize this poor woman…

UPDATE:  NTSA has ruled that it was more than likely driver error…..but the song continues…..
