Counterfeiters Fob Off $100 Bills, Featuring Lincoln's Face

Someone decided to give the Great Emancipator a promotion.

That's "The Great Emancipator", buddy. And $5 to $100 is a demotion since it'd be in fewer hands. You wouldn't want to see U.S. Grant's ugly mug every time you had a sawbuck, would you?

Loose shit.

One of the most successful counterfeiters of all time -- at least, he got away with it for a decade -- printed fake $1s. Clever, but...he printed them on lined notebook paper. The Secret Service website used to have a page up about him.

Ummm...isn't it Franklin on the C-notes?

Posted by: Fatwa Arbuckle on November 14, 2005 03:45 PM

I wanted to be on the c-note, but they picked that fat, four-eyed SOB Franklin instead. And he wasn't even a President.

Although I do have to give him credit for his skillz with da ladies. I heard over in France he was busier than a dog with two dicks.

"Great Emancipator"? He was just another Rethuglican chickenhawk who dragged the country into war to profit industrialists.

Whacha mean Ben was not a president. We call em dead presidents on the street so he gotta be.

printed fake $1s

A retired NYC cop I used to hang with knew a guy who was counterfeiting pennies. Had a hydraulic press, good dies, media tumbler, etc in his basement.

He was knocking off the rarer ones and aging them a bit in the tumbler to soften the features and make'em look just a bit worn, then get rid of the new shine with some nitric acid.

THIS is the way to go - you'll never be caught. Just take a leisurely drive cross country dropping a couple of 1909-S's or something like that in coin shops whenever the urge hits you, or claim you inherited them in some estate, blah blah...

Don't get too greedy and you'll never get popped

The bigger idiots are the clerks who accepted the seven bills.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.
