He's Back

Extramarital affairs have sidelined two potential Republican presidential hopefuls in recent weeks, but former Vice President Dick Cheney said the 2012 GOP bench remains strong.
"Here's the latest in Iran: Opposition groups have announced that, from now on, they're going to hold their protest rallies online. All their protests will be online, yeah. Protestors say they're going to overthrow the Iranian regime, then they're going after that YouTube cat that plays the piano." --Conan O'Brien

Mark Sanford's Argentine girlfriend, is feeling down and hoping that the harsh glare of the public spotlight will pass quickly...."She was very hurt and contemplative and worried about the effect of all of this on her friends and family," ..."It is not for me to judge anyone," she said.

"Celebrity

times? 79 years old today, and still vital, vibrant and going strong. As a
matter of fact, he received 9% of the vote in Iran." --David Letterman

released by the U.S. military and taken on April 26, 2009, Iraqi special
operations forces conduct a hostage rescue exercise in Baghdad, Iraq. The
commander of Iraq's Counter-Terrorism Bureau feels that his elite
American-trained special operations units can replace U.S. troops after they
withdraw next week major urban areas and said he was confident his country will
not again slip into sectarian warfare. The troops, distinctive because of the
high-tech U.S.-made equipment they carry, have made a reputation for themselves
as the most highly trained and effective troops in the Iraqi arsenal, often
pairing up with American special operations forces to go after Iraq's most
wanted on all sides of the sectarian divide — both al-Qaida extremists and
Shiite militants.

"What's
especially sad is that most people of a certain generation only know Michael
Jackson as a crazy guy who had a lot of plastic surgery -- whereas the truth is,
he was not only an unbelievably talented, groundbreaking performer, he also
helped break down the racial prejudice in this country. He was an extremely
powerful symbol -- a black performer who whites could relate to and then later
in life, a white performer who blacks could relate to." --Jimmy Kimmel
