Dimwit Criminals

Okay, folks, my last Renzi Rant was pretty ugly, and I don't want you to think I don't have a sense of humor, so for this one I decided to lighten up. This may come as a big shock, but a lot of criminals do really stupid things. You've heard of stupid pet tricks? Criminals are worse. Hey, if they were smart they'd be making big bucks on Wall Street. For a couple of samples, read on.

Another Five Star Review!

Here's what Damascena posted on Amazon.com for Damaged Goods:

"Thisis is the first Hannibal Jones book I've read, and it is a delight on all levels.

I especially enjoyed some of the side action,…
