whose salary was less than $50,000 a year,

Media speak for: "She wouldn't have had to resort to this unfortunate act of desperation if she wasn't an oppressed black woman, kept down by the Bush Administration's EVIL capitalist policies!!"

Even the Post suffers from double-speak.

It is pretty easy to roll through a million bucks in a couple of years. My ex-wife is a testament to that. :-)

But it's also cause to wonder. How did those casinos think she came across all that money after she kept showing up and showing up and showing up? How did she avoid drawing attention with a flamboyant lifestyle?

Did she donate any of the filthy lucre to Gotham City 'Rat politicians?

Between December 2003 and this month, the unmarried Alabre, whose salary was less than $50,000 a year, discovered she could "over-order" more cash than was needed without being discovered, said Graziano.

A lesson for Democrats, being black and poor has little to do with money--it's more about how you think, what you value, how you live and how you manage relationships with others.

Just think, if she had been an elected official in West Virginia and stolen taxpayer money, she could be charged with.........a misdemeanor!

Not to mention upholding accepted social mores.

I'd say she probably let them steal their own. She probably instinctively knew they had better gigs than even she did.

With such despicable crimes, she must be Karl Rove's sister.

The theft was detected by a routine audit

OOPS! I guess she hadn't anticipated this sneaky move by the company. What a genius.

"A crafty 25-year-old employee of a Long Island marketing firm managed to swindle more than a million dollars in cash by steadily sneaking small bills out of the office, police said."

She got caught and is facing grand larceny charges. How is that 'crafty' exactly? Sounds a little stupid to me for not thinking things through properly.

What kind of company allows just one employee to order money and then check the amount and enter it into the books WITHOUT oversight?

Just wait till they come after her for tax evasion.

An interesting contrast is a local story yesterday Gopher Embezzles $1 Million From Firm, Doesn't Spend Money. This guy repaid the money he stole with interest but he didn't pay tax on it. The IRS doesn't care how you get the money, just give them their half.

One that is just as 'crafty' as she was. It was probably a company sub-contracted for government work, and it was government money. No need for accountability.

Except of course that she was discovered.

It appears the writer of this story wasn't to 'crafty' either.
Back to creative writing school for her.
