South Carolina governor Mark Sanford is a freak! Last week he went missing for days and nobody knew where he was. Then on Monday, his staff said he was hiking in the Appalachian Mountains. That was before he was busted in the Atlanta airport. Finally yesterday, we got the truth at a news conference from the man himself. Governor Sanford was in fact, screwing his mistress…in Argentina! The affair has been going on for a year (which means its been going on way longer) and I want to liken him to New York’s disgraced ex-governor, Eliot Spitzer, but I think a more appropriate comparison would be to romance novelist Danielle Steele. Check out these steamy e-mails. Flying to Buenos Aires to get laid—that’s not easy on the environment. At least when Spitzer would summon Ashley Alexandra Dupre, he’d make her take the train!
Jon and Kate Plus 8 finally had that episode on Monday night. The Gosselin divorce is happening and the show is going on hiatus until August, but that didn’t stop the rumors from flying. The New York Daily News put it out there that Jon’s loveur, 23-year old Deanna Hummel, would join the show and it spread like wildfire. In a rare move, executives at TLC moved quickly to deny that the third grade teacher would be in any way involved. What a bunch of liars. Putting her on the show would be a gold mine—albeit a sleazy one—and they know it. It can’t be off the table. TLC needs to do the right thing and put her on.
We did it! In the semifinals of the Confederations Cup, an international soccer tournament, Team USA stunned the team widely regarded as the best in the world, Spain, by a score of 2 – 0. The tournament is held the year before the World Cup—in the country that will host it—as a kind of dress rehearsal and prelude. With the win over the 2008 European Champions, America moves on to Saturday’s final versus the winner of the other semi between Brazil and host South Africa which happens today.
Lastly, the political unrest over Iran’s disputed election is being suppressed with an iron fist. By now, you’ve probably seen the images of 26-year old Neda Agha-Soltan being shot in the chest in front of her father. Like her, protesters are being beaten, killed and smeared in the state run media, so people are retreating to their homes. What’s next you ask? Well, if the violence continues to escalate, international sanctions would likely be the next step, but wouldn’t you know it, energy and Iran’s oil reserves stand in the way. In the same way America bends over to Saudi Arabia because we need their oil, Russia and China are similarly tied to Iran which makes any coordinated global action difficult. Just another example of how politics, human rights and the environment are all tied together.
