A psychic blood-sucker is finally out of business.

Local ‘psychic' back in jail

Self-proclaimed South Florida ‘psychic' Linda Marks is back in jail this weekend after scamming a Boynton Beach woman out of $38,000 that she offered to “cleanse of its evil spirits.”
Boynton police said Friday they arrested the nomadic huckster, who had been serving a five-year probation for a 2002 insurance scam, for “repeat offenses” in the presence of her probation officer Thursday in Delray Beach.
“Linda Marks claims to be a psychic,” said Det. Toby Athol, who handcuffed Marks. “If that's true, she can't be a very good one, because she had no idea I was coming to get her.”
A pity they won't soon haul away the rest of these parasites.

That is an awesome line.

| That line brings to mind...years ago on the Dave Letterman show, he had a psychic guest. Interview starts off quite calm. After a minute of psycic-babble chat, he then asks the psychic guy if he could borrow a "green ink ball point pen" from him, where upon the psychic states he doesn't have one to give him. "Hm", says Dave, "You being a psychic, you should have known I was going to ask for one". Psychic's chin dropped on his chest; the audience went nutz! |

Hmm, yes....
And I was astounded by the number of psychics who so accuratly predicted the recent Indian Ocean earthquake and it's resulting tsunami, and the 9-11 attacks as well. When O when will we learn to believe in them?
They are such a valuable resouce, but nobody listens!
