But Carole wants to stay. You’d think, with every thing *she’s* been through… she’d be the first person to run for the New York border screaming. (And yes, I *do* believe that, being a female business owner, the courts have been extra harsh on her. Treating her like a ditz that can’t balance a checkbook.)

Linda Fogle and that woman with the four kids were both Carole’s cellmates at some point, so I got all the inside gossip… it’s un–fucking–believable.

As for Linda Fogle – what kind of reception would dhe have got from your social services if she’d gone to them and said "I can’t cope, I’m working 2 jobs to feed us all, I’m married to a man who’s happy to live in a pig sty and I have to leave our kids with him. I need some help"? What kind of reception would she have got if she had wanted to give up her jobs and start claiming welfare giving her reasons as wanting to care for her family. Would she have been given short shrift or am I being cynical?

Ach! I need to go and kick the cat! >:(

Just in case you want to drop by there ;o)

Last summer, Carole walked into his office, armed to the teeth with evidence about the guy who sold her the bad business (which was the cause for all the bounced checks). Also proof that homeowners were bilked out of tens of thousands of dollars in deposits. It would have absolved her from everything…

He didn’t want to hear it. She had to clear up all of her cases first. Even then I don’t think it mattered, because it wasn’t "high profile" enough for him.

The funniest was in that special report (that Percudani is suing us for) Pazuhanich is not willing to do anything about the problem. "We’d be getting involved in wiretaps that need to be monitored 24 hours a day for months on end,…Devoting those kinds of hours is very, very difficult, not because we don’t want to do it, but don’t have the manpower to do it"

Next thing you know, the series is sold out on newsstands, NY and NJ media is picking up the story, the FBI is getting involved and suddenly Pazuhanich becomes head of the task force (Which went nowhere until he handed his position over to the Attorney General)… whatta guy, huh?

To be on public assistance in PA, everyone over 18 in that household is required to have a job (or at least try to find one). James Proctor was quite comfy, and unwilling to work. So they would have been denied any benefits.

It’s like Fogle’s mother said at the trial "It was like she had to take care of THREE children."

Hope it goes alright with you, or as alright as it can during the circumstances. Thought I would write you a mail, but my addressbook is a scheissbook and won’t load. Take care.

NOVEMBER??!!??? Less than two months into the school year. This is why I admire people like Batgrl, who doen’t give up on her students.

This place is so fucked up… give me back the muggers and the terrorists in
New York any day…
