Not to worry, in prison they'll make him a queen!

Yeah, this guy bears many of the hallmarks I'd be looking for as an ideal candidate to watch over my sadly depleted nest egg: A fifth-generation Texian who lives in the Caribbean, has dual citizenship (US as well as Antigua and Barbados) and holds an Antiguan knighthood.

(The really weird thing, though, is if you read up on "Sir Allen" the arc of his life is eerily reminiscent of the direction George W. Bush seemed to be heading before Laura did her Pygmallion thang and he sobered up, found Gawd, and realized he only needed to fool some of the people most of the time to bring some superficial success into his life.)

Hahahahaha! First Bush mention of the morning, which, as usual, has NOTHING to do with the article. Doc gets a yellow banana sticker for his lunch box.

Your post? Yes, true, it has nothing to do with the article, Crocky.

Mine at least made a point about the article and drew a comparision to an even better known fraudster.

You're awfully sensitive this morning, Crocky. Whuzzamatta, lil' fella, milk and cookies time get cancelled for today?

It should be illegal to accept knighthood in this country.

soaked in drool and manjuice...that stench of fear and pee pee...

Not bad for an opening. But may I suggest you massage the tone of this draft just a bit at that point, so your autobiography can start out with an ersatz Dickensian feel? Like this:

"Soaked in drool and manjuice...that stench of fear and pee pee...but I digress, for must needs I begin at the beginning, which is a good place to begin the story of my life, as an afterbirth-encrusted blob deposited in an abandoned turtle's nest near Hussong's Bar in Ensenada."

See? It flows much better.

No charge, Crocky.

Your obsession with him has lasted a little too long, dontcha think?

Jailed Financier Loses Knighthood along with his back end cherry while in jail.

the knights of antigua. sounds like a disney movie along with the jamaican bobsledders

.....as an afterbirth-encrusted blob deposited in an abandoned turtle's nest near Hussong's Bar in Ensenada."

See? It flows much better.

No charge, Crocky.

Don't let Cook anywhere near Hussong's. That place has too much class.

So, what's a knight these days anyway? Someone who swills booze, shoots drugs and makes a name for himself by sleazy business deals. Knighthood is no longer an honorable profession. Their ain't no dragons to slay or virgins to rescue. All it is anymore is a key to the men's room at some overpriced country club.
