Elliot Spitzer used the effword??

Not in public, but it's been widely repeated.

According to the tabloid headlines Laura is either planning to file for divorce or secretly has filed for divorce over Bush's out of control drinking.

crosses fingers, hopes for total Bush meltdown....

Of course, his finger is still on the button, so maybe not....

I saw the Laura Bush story mentioned in passing at Daily Kos, but the tone they used was that it's been around for a while.

ION, it looks like I'll be able to get out of town next weekend for cheap! My dad's going to see his brother and SIL in Athens, OH for the weekend, and since my company's giving our department a four day weekend, I'll be able to go along. It'll be the only chance I have to get out of town between last Christmas and my sister's wedding in October. Now to clean up the apartment this weekend and contact my pet-sitters to come in and feed Amarna.

Laura Bush doesn't live at the White House with her husband? How come I didn't know that?

Pay attention to the most excellent reading material in the supermarket check out line. All the good gossip is on the covers of the gossip sheets. They have been saying Laura was leaving the bush for his drinking for well over a year. Also who's gay and not. And who has had what surgery. It is quite entertaining. I've never gone beyond the front covers, but those always make my grocery trips more fun. Brad and Angelina, totally over and moved on to others. Oprah and Stedman also big cover material. George and Condi absolutely getting it on. The Globe told me so!

How do you secretly file for divorce? Unfortunately, I do believe that such documents have to be public, no matter who is filing.

Bush made the NSA secrify the documents for national security reasons. (If the president does it it's not illegal.) Al Qaeda's plan was to break up Bush's marriage by driving W back to the drinking, and letting them know they succeeded would provide comfort to our enemies.

Or not.

eta: The rumors I've heard was that she's filing as soon as he's out of office.

There's still an issue of spreading the virus, though. Herd immunity has a lot more to do with mandatory vaccination than simply keeping individuals from getting sick.

Yes! And we don't know what cancers it may cause in men. Dan Savage mentioned this week something about there now being indications that HPV is linked to throat (I think) cancer too...

Zap 'em all, man.

HPV is linked to throat (I think) cancer too...

Yes indeed. Oral sex can cause cancer. Really, I read that in the real press, not in the grocery store line.

Munch grew up in Pikesville, MD. Where he was madly in love with Helen Rosenthal and wondered if anyone he went to high school with left the old nabe. Anything else is a total retcon/ conflation of Belzer's life and Munchkin's life. "Kaddish" was so *brilliant*

Preakness coverage all day. They just showed a little piece on Calvin Borel that made me tear up. (Darn it all.)

He's not a Marylander -- he's from Louisiana and yesterday he rode at Pimlico for the first time.
