This whole loyalty business is bad news for law and order.

gratuitous
(82,849 posts)North's story was that he had a change jar or change box where he put his spare coin every day, and it was that money he used to buy a vehicle (as I recall, it was a nice pick up), not money he had skimmed from somewhere else like literally every person on the planet thought.
A reporter did an analysis of the reported purchase price and the amount of change that would be required based on the proportions of coins then in circulation. The reporter estimated the change box would have weighed half a ton or more. That is, North's story was 100% bullshit.

(29,322 posts)The National Rifle Associations president Oliver North has been ousted by the organizations board after an alleged extortion scheme within the groups highest-ranking officials came to light Friday.
The NRAs chief executive Wayne LaPierre wrote a letter to the board Thursday alleging that North was trying to remove him from the group by threatening to release to the board damaging information about LaPierre. On Saturday morning, Richard Childress, a vice president at the NRA, read a statement from North announcing and explaining his departure.
Please know I hoped to be with you today as NRA president endorsed for reelection, North wrote. Im now informed that will not happen.
North continued his resignation letter by saying he believes the NRA should establish a committee to review the organizations finances, which he said constitutes a clear crisis that needs to be dealt with if the NRA wants to continue to be a viable organization

(10,036 posts)Hard as it may be for rational folk to believe, Wayne-O is quite likely nastier than Ollie!
Seriously, Ollie is NOT the villan in this case. Not that he did'nt take his pay from "Anderson-WTF"...... But that "Sure Shot" (La Pierre) is corrupt right to his slimy, dead little soul.
And, much as it pains me to say it, Ollie is spot-on on the finance issue for the NRA. And I hope they fail, bigly.
