I ready the title too quickly the first time. I thought it said he stole $1.38. "What was he going to do with THAT", I wondered. Then I wonderes why it was news. I have GOT to finish that coffee!

Well, if you're gonna steal that much money, may as well make it worthwhile. SEX RULES!!!

How do you spell douchebag? P-o-u-r-i-e-r.
However, the school's board does bear some responsibility. They didn't verify that Pourier actually had the academic degrees he claimed, for starters. And they were asleep at the switch in about reviewing checks and keeping close track of expenditures.

The story of America - steal from poor Indians and live the high life. Hey, he's just doing what our fore-fathers did; it was his manifest destiny!

More injuns steal from their own than others steal from them.

Thank you PHRANQ!
It *was* the school board's job to verify and monitor this guy's activities.
It was also the job of the Board of Directors of the too-numerous-to-be-named-bailed-out-banks to Watch What The Heck Was Going On. They didn't, the school board didn't, and the people least able to defend themselves got screwed.

@ navy chief: I do not want to see the dancers at the strip club where a buck and some change = good times.

amen to nell and phrang!
we need to all be practicing our yoga stretches -- when we get our turn at being screwed by the PTB, we can hold the position and not get too many leg cramps.
