I’m not one to laugh at others’ misfortune* especially when it’s a direct result of their staggering gullibility** but seriously, this is one of the greatest grifts EVER:
Bedi and Invarsdottir run a Mount Kisco computer repair business where Davidson took his virus-infected computer in August 2004.
The suspects, who live in Chappaqua, concocted a wild story that they had tracked the computer virus to a village in Honduras and determined Davidson’s life was in jeopardy.
Bedi claimed his uncle was an Indian military officer who was sent on a reconnaissance mission to Honduras and seized the hard drive of the computer virus culprits, prosecutors said…..”Bedi further related that his uncle obtained information that Polish priests affiliated with Opus Dei were attempting to possibly harm the victim,” prosecutors said.
Bedi told Davidson that the CIA had contracted him to prevent the priests from infiltrating the U.S. government.
How do you come up a story like that outside of being hypnotized by Herzog or something? Better yet, how do you get someone to literally buy it for $6mil?
*Oh who am I kidding
**Ibid.
I think the true measure of adulthood is when you stop getting calls from your dad reminding you about Daylight Savings Time. Or maybe it’s just the true measure of when your family has finally given up on you.
Congratulations, America. And thank you, all you lazy-ass millennials who couldn’t be bothered to vote in an election that wasn’t illustrated by Shepard Fairey. Thank you, single-issue voters. And a special thank you to everyone out there whose chief source of political information is Glenn Beck’s Twitter feed. I don’t want to say that you’ll get what you deserve, because voting jackasses like Rand into office and handily giving the Speaker of the House seat to Boehner is only the beginning of what you deserve.
As a special aside to all the non-voting millennials, I’d like to say: I’m not an idealist. I don’t believe voting makes a difference in every election. There are far too many races in which we’re essentially given a choice of nothing. But if you consciously choose to not perform a fundamental and simple civic duty, you had better be wearing a balaclava and a Sam Browne belt and heading to the Capitol to smash the fucking state. I want a Tompkins Park Tent City erected on the Mall and a Bonus Army led by kids in Wavves t-shirts and those weird harem pants that all the girls seem to be into this fall. Except this time, I want you to drive the politicians out at bayonet-point. And me? I’ll just blog about it from my comfy office chair, because unlike you, I went out and voted yesterday.
That said, the sole election night party I’d have like to attend last night was Linda McMahon’s. Never mind the fact that she’s an idiot who deserved to lose — I heard she had five open bars.
Where did she go?
