Their Mom Must be so Proud

So I was reading the news this morning and I came across this item about twin porn star/burglars. You read that correctly, porn star/burglars. So these twins, who have occasionally acted together (ew!) were arrested in Philly after breaking into shops through their roofs. The only thing that comes to mind is the question, 'what, porn doesn't pay enough?'

All my lovin I will send to you... but darlin' I won't be true

Another day, another political scandal. Like most of the others, this one involves sex; it also involves the Governor of South Carolina. The previously unremarkable governor, Mark Sanford, has apparently been traveling to Argentina to carry out an affair with an as-yet-unnamed woman. Some have alleged that he has been using taxpayer funds to carry out these trips to the Argentine. So not only is he being investigated for misuse of funding and being asked to step down, but he is also the subject of late night fodder and less than stalwart support.
Meghan McCain, political blogger and daughter of John McCain has thrown her support behind Sanford writing, "stop requiring that our politicians live at such a high level of moral superiority" and "I suggest that the party concentrate less on what goes on in the bedroom and more on what is going on in policy." I find it interesting that McCain is so quick to say that people should concentrate less on what goes on in the bedroom and more on politics. George Bush won a whole election concentrating on what goes on in people's bedrooms. Also, misuse of taxpayer funds is basically fraud, whether or not there is a bedroom involved.
Sanford wife has also gotten involved, but like most other political wives who have weathered being wronged, she is basically ignorant of her husband's life and seems to like it that way, saying "his [Mark's] career is not a concern of mine". Well, it is now, i'm sure.

You Don't Have to be Here to be Here

Ok so it's been awhile; but here goes.
Paris Hilton... oh dear. what have you said this time?
Paris has called the MTV show The Hills "lame and fake". While this is true, even though it was likely only said because Hills star Lauren Conrad used to date Paris' boyfriend, whose name isn't worth mentioning; Paris then goes on to plug the second season of her own reality show Paris Hilton's My New BBF. I found this ironic to say the least. Paris does this show to make money, not because she's hard up for friends. here's the article if you want to read.

He's Just Not That Into You... and He's an Asshole

Okay so, breakups blow. They blow large no matter what form they happen to come in. It's terrible to be told that someone you care about no longer cares for you. It's also terrible (and awkward) to tell someone that you don't love them romantically anymore. That being said, this douche in England has taken the avoidance of awkwardness and love of new technology to a new level.

Typo Hatred

I hate typos too. they're annoying and make the writer look stupid. they're also infuriating when they are on government created signs, because it means that our taxes have paid for mistakes a high school student could likely correct.
it is unlikely though, that i would resort to this just because i hate typos. it seems a little extreme.

Cool Word of the Day

Sphygmomanometer.
just a fancy-pants medical word for a blood pressure meter. it was invented by Samuel Sigfried Karl Ritter von Basch. Scipione Riva-Rocci created a more easily usable version in 1896.
it's further explained on this Wikipedia link.

this word is also mentioned on an episode of M*A*S*H.

Hawkeye: "I always wake up when a lady pumps her sphygmomanometer."
