Woman who claimed rental scam is arrested
Ruse positioned her as a victim, T.O. police say
A woman who claimed she was duped in a rental scheme was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of residential burglary, grand theft by false pretenses and filing a false police report, Thousand Oaks police said.
...
Walker claimed she had paid a $3,000 cash deposit and signed a month-to-month lease with landlord Sonya Martinez for a three-bedroom house on Calle Jazmin earlier this month.
Within days, Walker and her husband were forced out of the house by sheriff's deputies after the rightful owner, Ventura-based attorney Tim Quinn, learned someone was living in the home.

Saturday Angry Rock Blogging
Because trash like you will never have
The means with which to live
In any modicum of luxury
Or vague derivative
Of comfort don't stray beyond your class
You'll never crack this ceiling made of glass
Just live to work and then expire
Keep your mouth shut you might retire
With something more then debts
Stretched far beyond your means
Pledge allegiance
To the corporate machines
Don't you dare step out of line
Everything will be just fine
But you'd better mind your place
Just learnt to be a good consumer
You're now a number
You've no longer got a face
Let my anger be my declaration
My dissent my participation
Resistance isn't any use
Just consume, obey and reproduce
The next working class who'll shoulder
Your burden of despair
Your empty cries for a living wage
Our system doesn't care we don't care
That our system won't provide
For public health
We don't care that your left
Out in the cold all by yourself
We don't care
And for the Akubi crowd the full on anti-Bush version
here.

‘A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!’
Words from the 1st Century reverberate through the ages. Why couldn't they just say beer is going to get expensive in 2008 or something useful like that?
