South Carolina’s Governor Says “Peace Out, Bitches!”
Posted by: BookGirl on: June 22, 2009
It must be tough living in the Governor’s mansion during a recession.
Proving that in South Carolina, backwoods coon hunting usually cures all ills, the state’s top leader, Mark Sanford, “disappeared” after a stressful few days.
No one knew where he went. Not even his wife!

“However long we are keepers of the public trust we should never forget that we are here as public servants and public service is a privilege. It’s not about advantaging yourself. It’s not about advancing your friends or your corporate clients. It’s not about advancing an ideological agenda or the special interests of any organization. [...]

Oh so here we come on inauguration day. A day I was hoping would never come. It’s not that I don’t want change, because God knows I do, but a day that I fear is going to lead to a worship of an unworthy hero. I know I’m Cuban and we hold on very [...]

I love Diane von Furstenburg. Her Spring 2009 collection is below.

I approve.

The Briz finally had her baby. The little boy, named Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, was born on Sunday. He weighed 7 lbs and 4 oz.
Bristol and her fiance are both 18, so technically it’s not as bad as the whole Jamie Lynn Spears sitch (she was 16 when she got knocked up), but the teens [...]

Here is a person with no government experience whatsoever, a person whose major claim to fame is her last name.
