Suffragette to Erectoral Vote - Reverse Sexism of Contemporary Feminism

Jesus is My Pimp Daddy generated some spirited dialogue on the Net. While written with underlying sardonic humor, the topic is a serious one and the narrative reflects actual events. Since publication of the think piece, more women surface weekly expressing gratitude to those two courageous subjects that provided a firsthand accounting of Claude McKnight's wooing - and subsequent betrayal - of womankind upon which the essay is based.

Epic Irony. Man of God McKnight, holding himself… Continue

Jesus is My Pimp Daddy

Pimps tend to be a very competitive breed. The king has the most bling, lowest ride and largest stable. Prostitution, as one of the early growth industries, had Jesus Christ written all over it. JC had the people skills, the right demographic and that beleaguered look going that never failed to win over the young, naive runaways that littered Herod Antipas' dark and dingy Greyhound bus stations. Rounding out the posse was legendary courtesan, Mary Magdalene. She was as good with the books as… Continue

Investor Fraud - Anatomy of a Conman - Identifying a Ponzi Scheme and Scam Artists - Part III of III

Part III of III in this series of articles on Ponzi schemes will examine a real world, ongoing scam, the con man behind it and a few of the hundreds of investors victimized by his criminal enterprise, Millennium III Corporation.

History: At an early age, Gregg Scott Luce was falsely led to believe that his Maine based blood line was directly connected to the storied Time-Life Henry Luce legacy. It's unclear whether this fallacy was instilled within him by personal dementia or a… Continue

Investor Fraud - Anatomy of a Con - Identifying a Ponzi Scheme and Scam Artists - Part II of III

Following the onset of 2009's Great Recession, one didn't need an expert to identify a confidence man and his Ponzi scheme: the outbreak was splashed across front pages of every major newspaper in the United States and abroad. Arrest and prosecution of pin stripped con men has been epidemic.

The Ponzi scheme defined is the model of simplicity: the con man uses money from new investors to pay return on investment to original investors, rather than pay out ROI from revenue earned in… Continue

Blidgets, Widgets & Badges

from Emily Bryan . . .

There are tons of gadgets on the internet now. In a quick search the other day, I ran across this "blidget"--a widget that features a feed from my personal blog. I'm still not sure if it works quite as I expected, but it's visually interesting and if you click on the pics, it should take you to my blog (which features my real life love story since today is my wedding anniversary!). I say should because sometimes, I end up back on the widget's… Continue
