| Man passes counterfeit $200 bill with likeness of GWB |
| 2003-09-15 |
| via Drudge. Funny picture of the bill at the link. 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 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. |

| #13 Anyone know if Mike made bail last month? It might be another example of damn fine police work if the local gendarmes paid him a visit. |

| #11 When I was a kid I dared my sister to eat a tablespoon of raw sourdough starter and I would give her $2.00. She did so I gave her $2 in monopoly money. She did not like that so she appealed to Dad. I had to pay in real US greenbacks. Counterfitting does not pay. |

| #4 .com, I understand she's running for Governor of California. Actually, lawn signs for the White House... that has some marketing potential. "This press briefing brought to you by Jif". A novel and free market way to lower the deficit. |

| #3 Well hell, there goes her checkout job - about the only occupation left to her is politician, so I guess she'll run for public office soon. Sheesh, our pool of dumber than dirt people is getting kinda large! Scary. I may decide to just retire here in Thailand. |

| #1 "Remarkably, the cashier accepted the counterfeit note and gave the man $50 change." What a nitwit. Everyone knows that it's Davey Crockett's picture on the $200 bill. Dubya's is on the $300. |
