I Voted for Client Number 8




I always love the media attention garnered by some high ranking individual slipping up. Mind you they are just like everyone else in the world with desires, problems, vices and the like. Yet because they are supposed to be role models(read: perfect)they are completely vilified by the public and specifically those holier-than-thou right wing christians who would never be involved with this sort of filth unless it involved prepubescent boys.

Now I do find it funny that in Spitzer's over zealous crackdown on sketchy bank behavior is what did him in. I wonder if he is sorry he got caught, sorry he improved bank standards, or sorry he cheated on his wife with a lovely girl by the name of kristen.

2007 image obtained via her MySpace web page shows a woman identified as Ashley Alexandra Dupre. The New York Times reported that the real name of the woman identified as "Kristen" in court papers alleging that Gov. Eliot Spitzer paid more than $4,000 for prostitutes' services is Ashley Alexandra Dupre.

She's now got great book deal potential that is for sure.

Great Interview with rando high priced whoooore who will be profiled in the second freakonomics book.

I guess the only feel good story out of this whole spectacle is the fact that the new Governor of New York will be the first blind governor in the country and the first african american governor in NY.

the many joys of live television

first off, i would like to apologize for my lack of capitalization as triple's super high tech mac book pro is currently lacking a shift key. pretty iRonic (get it? i used a lower case i and then capitalized the next letter making my joke hip, cool, and slightly condescending.)

anyways, if you were one of the select few people watching the lakers-mavs game today, your ears might have perked up right before the first half ended. after missing a free throw, kobe let out a family-friendly "come-on mutha fucka" which came through loud and clear on abc's high definition broadcast. the real "ultimate highlight" occured after michelle tafoya's courtside interview with number 24 when kobe gives an unsuspecting fan a face full of towel. here is some super high tech slo mo video capture
