e) only an issue if you get caught

Calling to the underworld. Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls.

And you only get caught when the company paying the commission, err finders fee, forgets to pay back the bank and lands in bankruptcy court.

I cannot get that Real Men of Genius thing out of my mind:

I will also have to give credit to the Truth Squat. I admit to looking at his blog every now and then and would have to say it wins the award for "most improved" over the last year or so.

Its like when Joe the Plummer was not even a real plummer!

I love the title.

Were you being ironic in using "credit" concerning a story that has to do with the misuse of it?

I'm sure you were.

How much is Scoobie in?

Snark Bites - Knox County's alternative reality news source

Did SHE Slip Moore, Hutchison, Mickey Finns?
Known associates of "seductive siren of speculation" claim they can't remember, don't know her

From APB reports. KNOXVILLE - A practitioner of the world's second-oldest profession - sales and marketing - may have used a knockout drug on prominent members of the Knox County community to make them forget their dealings with her. Among the list of her possible victims are ex-chair of the Knox County Commission, Scott "Scoobie" Moore, ex-county sheriff and current county mayor candidate, Tim Hutchison, and other members of the local business community.

Investigators say these individuals may have been unwittingly lured into the lair of the shadowy figure known only as "SHE" with the promise of lucrative business arrangements. SHE may have then slipped them a substance - possibly chloral hydrate, the original "Mickey Finn" - to knock them out and blur their memory of the proceedings. Apparently, SHE uses legitimate businesses, including an auto company, as lures for her more dubious activities.

As one victim who wished to remain anonymous put it, "I thought I was getting in on the ground floor of a great opportunity in a car dealership operation, you know? SHE certainly looked like a fast ride - a real hot chassis of a portfolio, if you know what I mean? - so I whipped out my checkbook to get a piece of that action. But SHE suggested a drink to seal the deal. That's all I remember. The next thing I know, I'm in some Tijuana fleabag with the mother of all headaches, a naked checking account and a pocketful of regret. I never saw her again..."

Perhaps these people should be congratulated.

After all, six years ago in a story in the Knoxville News-Sentinel titled Hutchison Land Deals Raise Conflict Questions (March 7, 2004), Scott Barker and Laura Ayo were reporting that Hutchison and others were only using abbreviations like RMCH Developers, KRH Properties, and HTJ Properties as the names for their business.

Now at least they've started using acronyms.

Excuse me.

Except for RGTK Properties, that is.

They almost sound like CIA front names.

OK, maybe I'm getting a little slow out here (it's in the water) but ... is "Truth Squat" some type of code word (phrase) for Brian Hornback and his 'Truth Squad'? He posted a juveniley coy post on his blog recently about some evil person saying he had deleted something but he really hadn't dleted it since it was discoverable if he had deleted it ...
anyway, you'll clear up a lot for me if you'd clear up that "Truth Squat" thing for me. Thanks!

Take Care, Be Good and don't play in the street!
