Get this one from the excruciatingly tedious WillPit over at TO. "New Pitt essay coming soon"! Gee, Will we wait with bated freaking breath. Anyway his title is apropos, despite that it's some faucet dripping about the News Week story:

"Short Tales from Bizarro World"

Yep, Will that's just incredibly pithy, except that your "writing" about the wrong subject. Now, maybe if you'd been writing about Andy and DU, I might consider reading it.

This is one of the posts on CU.

That was already answered. $56,590 since he said he needed the surgery.

You know, should I do an ANDY ALERT! on this, or do you think people are tired of them?

Either way, tell me.

Further point I wanted to make, there is no scam if he truly has bile duct cancer. My Dad's was oftem referred to as Liver cancer since that term has more meaning to most people than bile duct cancer. Also if you develop the symtoms as Andy claims, the cancer has usually spread too far for any help.

"Donna Reed. Maybe it was It's a Wonderful Life, and her TV show "

Someone told me I reminded them of Donna Reed. I'm not sure if it was a compliment or not. She then called me the 'happy homemaker.' O.K. I guess it wasn't. LOL!

Sure there may be no places to dig, but someone could take the time and chronicle all the sites, all the paypal addresses, all the requests and formulate approximates on money taken in.

HE would then have to prove a negative rather than prove a postive.

It's called playing the game.

I am not up for the task, because I am not a detail person. I am a big picture person.


And, don't let the infiltration bother us - continue plodding along, getting the facts presented straight and forget if he is sick or not. We now know that was embellished - but so what. What was the motivation.

Back to rule 101 - everything about anything is usually amount one thing - money.

"...but I hope people didn't jump on someone who was truly sick with this disease."

Three words from Andy himself: "Politicize My Plight!".

What I think would be funny is an Andy Alert asking "What gets me is some super-bright, super-intelligent, super-cerebral lad of the Jewish persuasion masquerading as a middle-class suburban goy housewife, when really, there is no need to."

Not appropriate in an ANDY ALERT!, sir.

I highly doubt that figure

123 sites X $100.00 dollars a day X 60 days = $738,000

he has been collecting on different sites for 6 months.

OK, now picture Petra as a fat, middle-aged woman...

Why exactly would I want to do that?

Yeah, I was just making a little joke. Not that it matters, but I'm a maam (you're getting that a TON, aren't you).

Well whatever comes of this, Andy has become a minor internet "star", just like his favorite journalist, Jeff Gannon.

Yep, Andy, you have arrived.

Yeah, which leads me to think that probably 90% of the members of Free Republic are women.

"usually amount to one thing-money."
Yes but I also think he wants to be where the action is.
Things weren't going well out west.
Where is the real scene for gaining power, influence and money? You got it, D.C. He got a taste for it because of BBV, all the DUmmies told him how great he is, hell he was on MSNBC.
He wants to be in D.C.

I think before we can know where to look next, we need to verify the facts we have. We got a second phone call today to S_A with some facts that could be verified. For one thing, we have a verifiable fact in the second phone call to S_A. There was a statement about a hotel where a picture was taken. We need to see if that is plausible. I heard some people say they didn't think it had a lobby like that, but I wasn't able to tell if they were really there or just looking over the internet. Also, based on travel plans, is it possible this is truly the hotel? This is a small point, but if we can prove that the phone call contained a lie or the truth about that matter, then maybe we can get a feeling about the rest of the stuff in the phone call.

I'm sure other members have other items that could be verified but they have not shared that info with the rest of us: i.e., statements that Andy was on a website this am for 90 minutes, is there more info about the checks, what was the first phone call. I'm not saying those pieces of info (and other things I'm sure I don't know about) should be shared before they are ready, but I hope they are being looked into and the results will be shared.

Also, follow the money is good advice. Someone mentioned numerous different paypal accounts for Andy. Have all of the accounts been gathered and has paypal been notified about each one of them? I can't remember who made the account.

I live in another area of the country from JH, but I am hoping through PM we have people discussing the next few weeks? Just some thoughts of what we could be looking at. I know I missed some points or I could be totally off base on the ones I got, so feel free everyone to add comments.

Well, it makes some sense. You've got a LOT of stay at home moms who spend their "downtime" online. It'd be interesting data to collect (gender of online forum participants).

Don't forget the e-mail blizzard that we have no way of confirming, either.
