Newt Gingrich, some guy who wants to be the President of the United States, went for the win-win with his second wife. From this story:
His second wife, Marianne, said in the interview that he asked her in the late 1990s to tolerate an affair he was having with congressional aide Callista Bisek, who is now his third wife.
“He was asking to have an open marriage and I refused,” she said. She has spoken publicly before about Gingrich’s behavior during their 18-year marriage.
Whatever. Dude wasn’t into his wife, wanted some strange, and basically gave her the option: We can stay together, and I’ll bang my aide, or we divorce, and I bang my aide, then probably marry her, and then most likely cheat on her too. What’do’ya say? No? Alright… See ya!
People are giving the guy a hard time for this; I say he should be commended. He could’ve slept around with his wife knowing, as per usual, but he was honest. And aren’t the building blocks of a marriage made from honesty. Yes, I do believe they are.
If you don’t know what ashleymadison.com is – uh, yeah, me neither – it’s a website that sets up people to cheat on their spouses or whatever. And because websites don’t give a shit about anything but getting attention, they’ve endorsed GOP hopeful and chronic-spouse-cheater-on’er (more like ON HER, am I right, or am I right?) Newt Gingrich.
The site — www.ashleymadison.com, which dubs itself “the most recognized name in infidelity” — announced its support for the thrice-married former House speaker on a billboard.
A picture of the sign [billboard], which was installed in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, shows Gingrich with his finger over his mouth and declares him: “Faithful Republican…Unfaithful Husband.” (yahoo)
Kim Jong Il is apparently dead. It’s not like I saw the body, and I’ve heard the media lies to us to make sure we buy houses without money, and have abortions to save the earth from becoming a balmy 70 degrees year round… or something like that, I don’t really pay attention. Whatever. If it’s true, who is going to lead this luxurious nation?
North Korea’s state news agency KCNA has called dead leader Kim Jong Il’s son Jong Un a “great successor” in what appears to be the first such mention of the late leader’s youngest known son, who had been groomed to take over power.
Jong Un is the “great successor to the revolutionary cause of Juche and outstanding leader of our party, army and people,” KCNA said. Juche is the North’s homegrown political ideology of self reliance. (msnbc)
And don’t be worried about one of the world’s biggest military being in the hands of a 27 or so year old – no one knows how old he is – because he is a four star general. Though, he was appointed a four star general just so that he could take the place of his dear ol’ dad if needed. And if you were rooting for the North Koreans to get nuclear weapons, that should stay right on track as well. I’ve got a really good feeling about this, because I don’t live in South Korea with this nut-job next door. The moral of all this, be next to countries run by Drug Lords and Canadians.
Is “throwing everything at the wall” even a saying? It sounds like it is; if it’s not, it is now.
In the last week, to try to win over the people of Iowa, GOP candidate Rick Perry has tried embracing the issues of Christmas, gays in the military, religion, and now Tim Tebow. God damn it, it’s like a parent trying to relate to their punk-ass teenager – doing a quick internet search to see what’s popular… So, that Lady Gaga sure is something, eh… High-five for Gleeks… uh, er, Twilight!
I think all this does is remind the people of Iowa that they don’t have their own NFL team, and therefore aren’t a real state. Talk about a backfire…
Of course, when you think of Saudi Arabia you think of a wondrous, mystical land of adventure and magic; and you’d be right:
Saudi authorities have executed a woman convicted of practicing magic and sorcery.
The Saudi Interior Ministry says in a statement the execution took place Monday, but gave no details on the woman’s crime.
The London-based al-Hayat daily, however, quoted Abdullah al-Mohsen, chief of the religious police who arrested the woman, as saying she had tricked people into thinking she could treat illnesses, charging them $800 per session. (sfgate)
How awesome is this! Not that a woman was murdered by her government, but that they believe in magic. And they’re adults. It would be like playing Harry Potter with my friends outside the doughnut shop on Friday nights, but for reals, and all day, every day. It’s like never having to grow up; a real life Neverland that Saudi Arabia.
I wonder if you could get out of jam there by flicking on a lighter… He makes fire from small box, he must be a very powerful wizard.
