From Today's News, May 15, 2007

In Rochester, NY 3 funeral home directors and 4 employees of a biomedical supply company were arrested for secretly removing parts from dozens of human bodies awaiting cremation, and selling them for common medical procedures. The funeral company’s motto was, “Ashes to ashes, dust to cash!”

It just goes to prove the old adage, when you play with cremations, you’re bound to get burned.

One of the funeral homes involved was the Profetta Funeral Chapel, where they really do put “profit” before “funeral.”

The families whose loved ones’ bodies were used, of course, were devastated. Especially considering the money they paid expecting a respectful service. At any of these places, a funeral costs literally an arm and a leg.

One of the accused says he didn’t think he was doing anything illegal; he thought the company had consent. Oh, please. How were they supposed to get that consent? A séance?



A meat company is recalling 129,000 lbs. of meat due to possible e.Coli contamination. 129-thousand pounds. Do you realize how much meat that is? That enough to make an entire lunch for Rush Limbaugh.



Three California doctors were charged for cheating insurance companies out of more than $5 million for hundreds of unnecessary colonoscopies and surgeries performed on bribed patients. Who consents to an unnecessary colonoscopy? Whoever does that may not have needed that little procedure, but they sure deserved it.

And what about these surgeons, these living testimonies to the Hypocratic oath? Doc, if you reaaly think you’re doing no harm, scamming millions by sticking a tube up people’s butts, I got 3 words for you: Go heal yourself.



Classic R & B artist Ike Turner was arrested and spent a night in jail after he was arrested on a narcotics warrant that turned out to have been dismissed in 1989. This seems very unfair, unless you’re Tina Turner.

Ike was given a citation for speeding, which prompted the incident leading to his arrest. Ike should sell that speeding ticket on e-bay. It’ll be the first time his name has sold any tickets in over 30 years!
