US Representative Wins Triple Crown

What else do you call it when a politician gets arrested for a DUI, gets bailed out of jail by his mistress, and admits to fathering her child?

Rep. Vito Fossella (R-N.Y.), wracked by controversy since his drunken-driving arrest last week, has just issued a statement in which he confessed that he has had an extramarital relationship with the woman who bailed him out of jail following the arrest — and that he is the father of her young daughter.

I would have never guessed that a guy named Vito would drive drunk, cheat on his wife and father a bastard child. Vito also announced at the press conference that he enjoyed pasta, wine, and betting on the ponies. Totally unexpected all of it.

The State of the Education System in South Carolina

It is difficult to comment on this. First of all, I find it hard to comprehend how someone can live in United States and not have the ability to find it on a map, so I have some empathy for receiving such a question. But this incoherent ramble Miss Teen USA of South Carolina went on attempting to answer this question gives meaning to each one of those horrible dumb blonde jokes I’ve heard.
