Holy crapola. How did this story go by fairly unnoticed? Steve Nunn, former GOP lawmaker, was arrested on Friday and charged with violating a protective order keeping him away from ex-girlfriend Amanda Ross after she was found shot to death in downtown Lexington, KY. According to reports Ross, 29, was shot and killed at 6:36 a.m. Friday, September 11th; her death is being investigated as a homicide. Shortly after the shooting, Steve Nunn... 

Laura Ling and Euna Lee, American journalists for former Vice President Al Gore’s San Francisco-based Current TV, have been pardoned by the South Korean government. The two women were sentenced last March to 12 years of hard labor after being captured along the North Korean border with China and charged with illegal entry into North Korea as well as engaging in “hostile acts.” North Korea’s official news agency said the release of... 

Another day, another divorce rumor in the world of politics. The Immoral Minority Blog, a site dedicated to “finding the truth, exposing the lies, and holding our politicians and leaders accountable when they fall far short of the promises that they have made to both my fellow Alaskans and the American people” is reporting that sources close to the family say Sarah Palin and her husband Todd Palin are headed for splitsville. According... 

Went to a blogger meetup tonight in Stockton, CA; I met a bunch of great people and learned about some cool stuff that – by some divine miracle – I’ve survived this long without. Now that I’m home, all the information is racing around in my brain trying to decide what to do. So I’ve decided to watch The Fast and the Furious, and do a little exploration on Wonkette – a humorous political blog I was told about at the meetup. I... 

Learning that a politician is having an affair is like learning the Duggars are having another baby – neither shocking nor surprising. The part that’s surprising about South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford’s affair is not that we found out he was cheating on his wife, it was how we found out. First, Governor Sanford goes missing and no one seems to know where he is. Then, his staff says something about the Governor taking time to... 

Tonight was the town hall style presidential debate between John McCain and Barack Obama. Perhaps you watched it. I tried to, but kept getting annoyed by John McCain’s slight limp and weird bodily ticks that he was desperately trying to hide and his camp refuses to address (stroke, anyone?). Anyway, while I was trying to listen but not watch I found an interesting article from The New York Times. During the vice-presidential debate last... 

About five hours ago I was blindsided by a crazy and random stomach ache, which has subsided somewhat but I’m still not feeling 100%. Maybe it’s my twenties freaking out about soon becoming a memory. Or maybe it’s my thirties welcoming me into the next phase of my life. Whatever it is, it’s quite annoying. Tonight’s Hollywood Gossip Round Up is a bit of a random one. As I searched through all my favorite sites to catch up on what... 

I honestly didn’t think I would be writing on this topic, but I just can’t stand it anymore. We all know the details of the New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer scandal so there’s no need for me to repeat them here. Sadly, none of the revelations surprised me in the slightest. What does that say about me? More importantly though, what does that say about our politicians and the state of our government? I’ve noticed some scary similarities... 

Ok, so she may not spell it the same way as I do, but Hillary Clinton is still a pretty cool Hilary. Although it’s really not that hard to be, with a name like Hilary. From the Latin word for “hilarium”, by the by. As in HILARIOUS, in case that one went over your head. Anyway… With Hillary’s bid for the White House, the Clintons are once again in the spotlight, and could very well be for years to come. The couple... 

I find it interesting that the clips of the Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell brawl seem to be getting more air play than the scuffles between the Democratic candidates for president. What does Hillary have to say that can surpass Isaiah Washington’s comments about Patrick Dempsey and T.R. Knight? If Mayor Giuliani can learn to drop as many F-Bombs as Eminem, then mainstream America will listen. Lindsay and Hillary. Lindsay and... 

When I saw the following headline, my immediate reaction was, “Well duh!” Gingrich had affair during Clinton probe In an interview with conservative Christians the other day, the former Speaker of The House admitted to cheating on his wife during the time he was leading the pack to oust President Clinton, who, in case you don’t remember, was persecuted for cheating on his wife with intern Monica Lewinsky. During the interview,... 

My dear friend Nora is a bit of a hero. She is full of passion and compassion, determination and drive, spirit and soul. She does things that most of us probably could, and would, never do ourselves. She is in love with a great guy and they have an awesome daughter. Which makes sense since Nora totally kicks ass. And now, you too can get to know this wonderful human. View her photos and read her blogs as she travels through war-torn Palestine. Twice...
