Algerian Real Estate Scam Exposed


What looks like a quaint little building at the NW corner of Alameda and Lake in Burbank is in fact nothing but a front for Algerian money laundering in the latest real estate scam among the epidemic of foreclosures and fraud across the nation. It's for sale!!! No, it's for lease! Ack, we don't know, just give us your damn money!!!

Controversial Romanian Coin Offends Not Only Jews


Romania has recently come under fire by Jewish groups for this coin honoring former prime minister Miron Cristea, who "stripped Jews of their citizenship before WWII." But honestly, the real insult here comes in the form of the typeface chosen by the designers at the Romanian Mint in Bucharest.

Not only is there a completely misplaced apostrophe, the designer even tried his hand at poetic page layout with near fatal results. If, Odin forbid, the nation's economy suffers further and more bailouts are proposed, please demand that your Congressman comb the legislation for any earmarks for Algerian banks.
