Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd or stick of dynamite by the safe end. - unknown

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police

how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.

If I Can Make It There - I'll Make It Anywhere


Some people have all the luck and some people have ALL the luck.

Take for example Tony Chan, the self appointed Feng Shui guru (designer) who made his fortune by bilking the richest woman in Asia - a Ms. Nina Wang.  Mr. Chan was Ms. Wang's Feng Shui advisor.  Later Mr. Chan became Ms. Wang's paramour, although she was 20 years younger than he.  After her death in 2007, during the course of an estate settlement  scandal, Mr. Chan netted a cool $4.2 Billion (with a B).  That's a bunch of Feng!

Fast forward to the year 2008.

Mr. Chan flew into Teterboro airport, in N.J., and hired a car-service to ferry him into Manhattan - a 13 mile trip. No problem so far.  Upon his arrival and subsequent departure from his limo, an aspiring lad by the name of Peter Rahhaoui formed a get rich slowly plan.  After glomming Mr. Chan's AmEx card number, our "when opportunity knocks" driver ran up charges totaling approximately $800,000 in the next several months.

Funny thing is, Mr. Chan is sooo wealthy he never realized these charges were accruing.  Only after a third-party bank specialist noticed some irregularities was the scam uncovered.

Fast forward to today.

But wait - there's more.  Seems Mr. Chan may have forged the will of Ms. Wang.  Mr. Chan now faces legal problems in Hong Kong that may result in Mr. Rahhaoui getting off scot free.

Some people have ALL the luck.
