It's Bad Behavior Friday™!

Police in the depraved region of Clear Lake, Texas were searching this week for a missing Pentecostal pastor and a 14-year-old girl who were each seen in their respective beds 9 miles apart. Nine miles is nothing down there in the Houston suburbs; you barely get your air conditioning cranked up before you get nine miles.

SFist has a nice story about a stupid criminal who messed up the address he was sending his marijuana to, but carefully wrote his own return address on the package, making it easy for police to hunt him down like ... well, I would say a dog, but dogs are smarter than that.

In a continuing story of fraud and fakery in SF, four people were indicted yesterday in a strange case that involved fake clinics billing medicare for fake treatments, mostly to poor immigrants. This is different from the case of the phony doctor who gave fake exams to immigrants as part of their green card application process, a story that broke late last week.

And in New York, everyone is agog over the body parts theft case in which a dentist masterminded a four-year scheme to steal bone marrow from corpses and replace the missing bones with plastic piping. That's why I use the word "mastermind." You know what I wonder? Where'd the PVC pipe come from? Something tells me one of the plotters has a relative in hardware.

Gee, we got through a whole week without any new fake writers. But I'm still optimistic; it's only Friday morning.
