Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I installed Soluto on my father and sister's last computers, and now it's asking me if I want to change my sister's default search engine back to Google. Weird thing is (she's a smidge above average computer user--enough to change all her device languages to Spanish and still use them efficiently) she didn't change it on purpose, so it's a valid question.

However, said valid question made me log in and remove some stuff from their normal boot ups, and I think I installed new software on my father's laptop. It was late. And there was sleeping medication involved.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So the woman Patraeus had an affair with, Paula Broadwell, was not only on the Daily Show, but Jon went to some charity events she organized. That's going to be tricky for him to joke about.

Apparently she's a super high achieving type, winning fitness awards when she was at West Point, and Harvard graduate school, and also a choirmaster in high school. And she's married with two kids. So that's a couple of marriages and two very high flying careers in the crapper.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

So the woman Patraeus had an affair with, Paula Broadwell, was not only on the Daily Show, but Jon went to some charity events she organized. That's going to be tricky for him to joke about.

She wrote a biography on him. I am thinking that it's going to be pretty easy. She wasn't on the Daily Show because she was a wife and mom. She was on talking about Patraeus. And the book about him that she was trying to publicize.

How does that make it awkward for Jon Stewart?

Two words: Anthony Weiner.

Just that they were socializing at some events together after. I got the impression that they got to be friends from looking at the pictures.

I don't really know how friendly they were/are.

Oh, that's just icky. And kind of classic adultery.

Have the marriages ended? I'm also assuming the impact on her career is yet to be determined, or did I miss something?

ita_!, that's probably the best price you're going to find for a good, non-scratchy petticoat.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I saw her visit to TDS and she did not come across as very bright. I'm glad to know that she seems better than she came off during that interview.

I was kind of surprised at the lack of depth she displayed.

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

Well, she took some, you know, short-cuts. Who needs depth?
