I personally couldn&#8217;t give a crap what he does or whether his Stepford wife&#8217;s meds wore off and she kicked him the hell out of the house.  Yeah, every time my wife finds out about my affairs, I go running to Argentina w\/o leaving a forwarding address, and spend a few days &#8220;crying.&#8221;  Hey, fer crissakes, be a man about it Marky Mark.  You betray your wife and kids, you stand there and take your medicine without blubbering like a little baby.  You didn&#8217;t see Eliot Spitzer cry.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow South Carolinian and Bill Clinton impeachment manager <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.wsj.com\/washwire\/2009\/06\/24\/inglis-to-gop-lose-stinking-rot-of-self-righteousness\/\">Bob Inglis says the whole Sanford thing is an opportunity for Republicans<\/a> to &#8220;lose the stinking rot of self-righteousness&#8221; and &#8220;to understand we are all in need of some grace.&#8221;  What, like Sanford is the first self-righteous Republican hypocrite to get caught with his hand in the cookie jar (or his foot on the wrong side of the stall)? <\/p>\n<p>It looks like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.syracuse.com\/news\/index.ssf\/2009\/06\/rocky_gets_reprieve_snakehead.html\">Rocky the snakehead fish has escaped his death sentence<\/a> after all.  The NYS DEC called their lawyer, who found a loophole in the law that condemned Rocky to death.  It seems that if you exhibit the fish for &#8220;educational&#8221; purposes, you can get a permit (for $500; nothing&#8217;s free in NY) to keep them legally.  So, Rocky&#8217;s owner is applying for a permit, and he&#8217;ll have to do some snakehead fish educational stuff a few times a year.  Gee, that wasn&#8217;t so hard now, was it?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Wednesday&#8217;s big news was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.syracuse.com\/news\/index.ssf\/2009\/06\/su_lacrosse_champs_get_white_h.html\">royal treatment Joe Biden gave the NCAA Lacrosse Championship team when they visited the White House<\/a>.  Biden gave the fellas a personal private tour of the White House (including a stroll through the Rose Garden, where President Obama saw them from the Oval Office, interrupted a meeting, and came out and said hello), and hosted a barbecue for them at the VP&#8217;s residence.  <\/p>\n<p>Beats gettin&#8217; a load of bird shot in the face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All day yesterday, I thought it was Thursday.
