Welcome to this week’s edition of the Carnival of the Badger, with your friendly hostess Tracy Coenen of Sequence Inc Forensic Accounting. The Carnival of the Badger is a weekly event, featuring posts from bloggers throughout Wisconsin.
Since this blog is devoted to all things “fraud”, I’ve decided to put a scammy, fraudulent spin on this week’s carnival.
Our world is filled with frauds and scams. Groups dedicated to terrorism are frauds in and of themselves, and they aren’t interested in playing by any rules except their own. Governments commit fraud upon the taxpayers every time they waste the hard earned money of taxpayers. There’s a $122 billion scam being perpetrated upon American taxpayers, and what do we have to show for it? (I’ll let you know in a few weeks, as I’ve been invited to New Orleans for a few days!)
Fraud upon the taxpayers is a particular problem in Wisconsin, but it seems that the tax burden just hasn’t hit Madison as hard as other cities. At least Milwaukeeans can drown their sorrows in some beer!
*** Alert! Alert! The mooonbats are coming, the moonbats are coming! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. ***
All you television junkies should know that Turner Broadcasting is ruining the legendary Tom & Jerry cartoons. Eventually, though, you have to turn off the television and go to work. You might try to do a good job, or you might not. What was today’s topic? I forgot. Oh yeah, fraud.
Well, it’s time to wrap up this Carnival of the Badger with a couple of scandals. We all knew this was coming, didn’t we? And what would a post dedicated to fraud be without a mention of the Milwaukee Public Museum?
If you like blogging (or reading) about fraud and scams, check out the new Carnival of Fraud, being run and hosted by yours truly every Monday.
Join us next week, when the Carnival of the Badger will be hosted by a yet unnamed blog.
