The thing with Sanford is that he was one of the people calling for Clinton's impeachment, and has generally hailed himself as a perfect Christian. I am one of those horrible skeptics who believes that when people get money and power, they tend to use it to get laid. So I pretty much think all politicians *are* cheating. It's when they're sanctimonious hypocrites that I can't abide by them. Or feel sorry for them because they're truly torn over an emotional affair. If he hadn't impeached Clinton, and if he hadn't gone AWOL for 6 days, I wouldn't read one article on the affair.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

I wonder if she and O'Neal were able to marry beforehand.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I actually think it's more subtle than that -- I think there's a kind of person who can get money and power by influencing other people/making them like them, and the miscellaneous Clinton-style screwing around is exactly the same thing (to them) as getting the big donations/getting votes. Except, you know, better.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hydrochromatic umbrella reveals vivid colors when drenched
Just think of it: an umbrella festooned with hydrochromatic ink. It does just what you think, changing its bland white-on-black illustration into a splash of vivid color as soon as it gets wet. And after all, what good is an umbrella unless it gets wet?
Now these gorgeous umbrellas are available in what SquidLondon calls the "Skyline Squidarella Collection," showing the London skyline in monochromatic view, bursting into a cheery rainbow cityscape as soon as you step out into the London fog. Not bad for $35. Check out the video:

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I thought Keith's reading was pretty funny, but y'all know that as Olbermann goes, so goes my nation. I found the letters surprisingly heart-felt yet shockingly misspelled. Also, not sure what he was thinking, but I felt that over the stim as well. so.
