Legal "Tender" $$$$$$ ?



SEPTEMBER 12--North Carolina cops are searching for a guy who successfully passed a $200 bill bearing George W. Bush's portrait and a drawing of the White House complete with lawn signs reading "We like ice cream" and "USA deserves a tax cut." The phony Bush bill--a copy of which you'll find below--was presented to a cashier at a Food Lion in Roanoke Rapids on September 6 by an unidentified male who was seeking to pay for $150 in groceries. Remarkably, the cashier accepted the counterfeit note and gave the man $50 change. In a separate incident involving a different perp, Roanoke Rapids cops Tuesday arrested Michael Harris, 24, for attempting last month to pass an identical $200 Bush bill at a convenience store.

1. LOL!
More proof that the sheeple of this country almost deserve the shit that Bushbastard* and his cabal are committing! (Obviously I'm being cyical. Oh well. The repukes will blame Clinton. Rational people would blame Bush, though they know it's politics in general that create ALL the world's problems in the first place, though Bush is making things much worse...)

4. Irony on the bill.
So two people try to pass a counterfeit bill that says:

THIS NOTE IS MORAL LEGAL TENDER TO PRESERVE THE U.S. CONSTITUTION

6. Notice..............
the little oil well on the reverse side, lower right corner. It took a real "moran" to accept this bill as legal tender.
