Why is “bra” singular and “panties” plural?

Most Say Stars Make Poor Role Models.

Duh.

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’ll know that I have criticized Joan Felt, the daughter of Mark Felt, for her overtly selfish comments concerning her financial motivations for encouraging her father to identify himself. Therefore, the announcement of potential media deals should not be a shock to anyone now. A book and movie deal has been finalized for Felt, the former FBI agent who recently outed himself as the famed Watergate ‘Deep Throat’ source of Bob Woodward. At 91 years of age, it’s likely that he’ll never realize a fraction of the profits. His family can look forward to leading a comfortable life for years to come.

Congratulations Joan. Your check is in the mail.

Clinton wins S.C. straw poll

Richland County Democrats held the nation’s first straw poll for the 2008 presidential race Wednesday and the surprise winner was U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York.

“We’re simply delighted,” said Bob Kunst, president of Hillarynow.com, who is traveling the country promoting Clinton’s candidacy.

“This should help us in our effort. It gives us a nice boost.”

Clinton’s victory at the sparesely attended event was a mild upset. Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, a native South Carolinian and last year’s Democratic vice presidential candidate, had been considered the favorite.

Meaningless.
