Secret Service Scandal

Nice overview of the Secret Service Scandal and why it matters.

One thought occurred to me while reading - years ago I used to joke with some friends in law enforcement that to be in the FBI you had to be Mormon or from Boston College. There seemed to be lots of BC alumni at the FBI and Mormons were said to be favorites of Hoover because of their strong moral convictions.

I don't know how much truth was in that small talk from long ago but I do know that Mitt Romney's squeaky clean image will stand in stark contrast to the frat boy atmosphere that seems to permeate the Obama Administration. That contrast is bound to help Romney.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

In the wake of the Secret Service hooker scandal - shouldn't some reporter ask President Obama if he favors legalizing prostitution? If I was willing to pay good money for that question does that make me a "John"?... 100 years ago Leonardo DiCaprio drown for your sins, he rose and now reads your dreams for your deepest secrets. Move over Flying Spaghetti Monster - I'm thinking of founding the Church of DiCaprio... Quid pro quo literally means "something for something". Prostitution is a quid pro quo arrangement. You give money you get sex. According to Patrick Kennedy - the Obama White House operates on the same principles as hookers... If the season ended today - Derek Lowe would probably get some votes for the AL Cy Young Award. Think about that for a minute... I may have business cards printed up - Chris Lynch, President, Americans for Bacon. Seriously - I may set up as a lobbyist... Last week's Mad Men recut as a horror movie trailer... If Ian Kennedy was still with the Yankees - would he be the team ace?... Is there any doubt that Doc Rivers should be the NBA Coach of the Year?... Johnny Cash with a kitten. Awwwwww....
