Posted June 21, 2011 by The Decider for Global Grind Staff

We're inundated by news stories every day and with a 24/7 news cycle, it's nearly impossible to keep up. But thanks to GlobalGrind's Think Tank, you'll be quickly in the know, and then good to go.

From what’s going on in the Capitol to what's happening oversees, we have it all.

Today we see that a man robbed a bank for $1 dollar, while Tunisa's President and his wife get 35 years in jail.

Better Than Fiction

Character: James Verone

Plot Line: Going to jail for free health care? James Verone had to do something to heal his aliments so he said he walked up to a teller at a Gastonia, N.C. bank and handed her a note.

It said, "This is a bank robbery, please only give me one dollar." Verone then told the teller he'd be sitting in a nearby chair, waiting for the police.

The 59-year-old said he did everything he could to get caught so he could receive free health care in jail.

Verone has a growth on his chest, two ruptured disks and a problem with his left foot. With no job, Verone thought his desperate plan was the best way to provide for himself.
