Oh, god, will everybody please shut up about this? I got back from lunch at 1:30 and the godawful talky woman I work with has NOT STOPPED JABBERING about it. I haven’t said word one to her but I don’t think she cares. Who cares if somebody gets a divorce? How is it possibly any of our business? Grr! Sorry, I live in South Carolina and it is absolutely inescapable. ---

The scary thing is: I live in another country; I actively detest celebrity gossip and I tend to aviod plitical gossip; I don’t have cable or satellite or rabbit-ears or even an actual TV set; I don’t live with any gossip-hounds who might mention it… and I still know _exactly_ what you are talking about without clicking on the link. ---

But the legislature just gave Sanford a slap on the penis. No impeachment for the guy wheo said Clinton should quit for a lesser infraction. ---
