when will these politicians ever learn?
Governor of South Carolina Mark Sanford has admitted to an extramarital affair he has been having with a woman from Argentina.
Just a few days ago it was reported that Sanford was missing from his usual weekly schedule. His office told anyone that called that Mr. Sanford was in Argentina hiking.
That of course was a lie.
A call was even placed to his wife who told a reporter that she did not know exactly where he was but that maybe he left after Father’s Day to get away.
Well, Gov. Sanford held a press conference today and confirmed that he has been jetting back and forth to Argentina for over a year now to hook up with a woman that is not his wife
Sanford has decided to resign as the chairman of the Republican Governors Association but did not resign as Governor of South Carolina.
John Edwards, now this guy.
what a shame yet again.
we’d say his marriage is probably kaput.

UPDATE: The stock market has plummeted about -777.68 points in just a few hours!!!!
The reason for the sudden burst? The House this morning rejected the $700 billion emergency rescue for the nation’s financial system. As of late last night, things were looking up for President Bush and his emergency plan. Republicans this morning had a different vibe on things.
The house voted 228-205, and just like that the bill was rejected.
Now, President Bush must come forth with a new revised plan to defeat the economic crisis at large. Bush planned to meet this afternoon with his Economic advisers to devise yet another rescue plan.
Crude oil futures fell $10.68 to close at $92.21 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. They have lost nearly $25 since last Monday, and dropped sharply as the House voting began.
Concerns that the crisis might be spreading to Europe helped to push down the value of the European common currency. The euro dropped against the dollar to $1.43 on Monday from $1.46 on Friday.
Stay locked for more news….

It looks like congressional leaders have got what they have been waiting for. The $700 Billion bailout Rescue Deal of banks and other financial institutions holding bad mortgages debts, should be underway by the reopen of the world’s stock markets tomorrow.
Congressional leaders will face yet another challenge this week, with the House expected to vote on the plan as soon as Monday, and Senate as soon Wednesday.
The two-stage bailout is a whopping $700 Billion, which is now federal debt on the nation’s taxpayers! damn!
Now here is the catch, the congressional leaders must divide the bailout into two phases, starting with the first $350 billion payout, then requiring a second congressional approval for the next installment.
“Getting this done soon, promptly, is absolutely critical to the confidence of the markets.” Sen, Judd Gregg, one of the leader negotiators, said Sunday, predicting the votes approve it this week. “The option of not passing is not acceptable.”
What do you guys think? This will bring our national debt to around $10-$13 Trillion, depending on what source you go by.
And what effects will this really have? Short term? Long term? Can we gaurantee this will be the “end-all” fix to this economic crisis?
Let’s watch and see how this plays out over the week.
Stay locked.

THANK THE LORD, THIS WILL NEVER EVER EVER HAPPEN AGAIN!
I am officially done with uploading all of my photos. I’m trying to figure out if there is an easier way to organize all my photos. I currently have two folders on my desktop that house some 250 pics a piece. I really am not sure I can ever upgrade my WordPress. All this really stressed me out! And hey, it’s the summer, we don’t want any of that!!!
There are only a few posts out from BLOGSTODIEFOR.COM that for no reason, the photos will not upload. So I will figure that out this week.
I’M REALLY REALLY EXCITED to have this working again. It scares me when I’m down for a day or two!
So..let’s hope nothing BONKERS happens again.
One more day till the weekend kiddos.

Hello kids, and welcome to yet another MASSIVE week!
Yes I admit I do make mistakes. I mean we all do right? Ha! anyways, I was just sent a comment from a gentlemen alerting me about the picture posted on my page about Mike Tyson’s Former home being for sale. I stand corrected, the house that I was reporting on is in fact on Tomiyasu Lane, but is actually not the home Mike Tyson formally lived in.
Mike Tyson lived at 6740 Tomiyasu Lane, Las Vegas, which is apparently still being occupied by Mr. Marrocco who purchased Tyson’s digs in 2004.
Around 2003 while I was living in Las Vegas, I was informed by my friends parent about Mike Tyson living behind Wayne Newton. We were lead to the gates of the $21 million estate that is currently for sale, and not Mr. Tyson’s white behemoth home. According to reports online, Tyson at one point did own two homes on Tomiyasu Lane.
Thank you for the correction. But if you are in the market for a sweet $21 million mans in VEGAS, i think you need to check that bad boy out!
MONDAY: Hope all of you had a great weekend. I just arrived back into town from my weekend stay in Boston. First semester of this year I transferred out of Emmanuel College in Boston, but I really have to admit I miss that city! We did some bar/club hoppin’ Saturday night and it was absolutely crazy. Even during the summer, I really didn’t realize how many college kids still stay around their campuses.
Sunday a few friends and myself enjoyed some hookah on Newbury St. Oh yes. We hit up Newbury St. At 11:30 am we attempted to sit down at an outside restaurant to drink a few beers and enjoy us some hookah. We were denied till about 12pm and then the party began. Ha!
So now it is Monday, and time for me to entertain you with all the crazyyyy stuff I fill my world with! Thanks a lot for the thoughtful comments and suggestions. Keep them coming!!!
Ohh and SIGN UP! I’m going to start a special site for those of you that sign-up so get that shit POPPIN!!
ohh yeah

Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor who became famous for his YouTube video called the ‘Last Lecture’, died Friday of complications from pancreatic cancer. Paush died at his home in southern Virginia.
Pausch is survived by his wife Jai, two sons Dylan, 6, and Logan, 3, and his daughter Chloe, 2.
Pausch’s wife said Friday, “I’d like to thank the millions of people who have offered their love, prayers and support. Randy was so happy and proud that the lecture and book inspired parents to revist their priorities, particularly their relationships with their children. The outpouring of cards and emails really sustained him.”
The ‘Last Lecture’ has been atop or near the top of USA TODAY’s Best-Selling Books list since it was published in April. This week it is No. 8. It has been translated into 30 languages, and nearly 30 million copies are in print.
My condolences go out to Randy’s family and friends!

Almost 12 years after 6-year old JonBenet Ramsey was found dead in her home, new DNA tests confirm that JonBenet’s parents were not involved in her death.
According to reports, prosecutors were able to clear JonBenet’s parents, John & Patsy, and old her older brother Wednesday for the unexplained killing.
District attorney Mary Lacy stated that new DNA tests point to an unidentified outsider. According to Lacy, it was the new “touch DNA” tests that were done on skin cells left behind on JonBenet’s underwear that point to a third party and not a family member.
John Ramsey spoke Wednesday on the new tests that have been conducted, “I think the people that are in charge of the investigation are fouced on that, and that gives me a lot of comfort. Certainly we are grateful that they acknowledged that we, based on that, certainly could not have been involved. “
Patsy Ramsey as you may remember, passed away in 2006 from ovarian cancer.
During the investigation after JonBenet’s death, police found a drop of blood on JonBenet’s underwear that matched it to the DNA of a male not belonging to the family, prosecutors argued that they were unable to determine where the blood came from or that it was even the killer’s.
The new “touch DNA” tests taken from the sides of JonBenet’s underwear matched that of the original blood DNA found almost 12 years ago after her murder.
i really hope this case is finally solved.

It looks like Ben Bernanke really cares and is REALLY concerned.
According to Reuters, this morning Bernanke said, ” The U.S. central bank might keep open a lifeline to financial firms as it fights to keep the credit crisis from wreaking further havoc on the struggling economy “.
From the gatherings of private reports on sales at chain stores, retail sales are struggling as the economy sags under the weight of the worst housing slump in a generation.
Bernanke’s statement helped stabilize stocks after Monday’s losses.
U.S. chain stores sales rose 2.9% in the week ended July 5

I’m kinda feelin’ like Diddy right now. Walkin’ through FIRE!
So its 9:30 p.m. eastern time, and I signed into my WordPress account to be very happily surprised by the BlogStats that were listed. Here is what I was shocked with:
Today’s Hits: 69
This is the traffic I was talkin’ about.
I’m wondering, are people more interested in the “Gossip” and entertainment news I produce? Or are you still interested in my other “Categories” blog topics that will soon be expanded?
Lemme know———sign some comments down there..
Issue: I am still having a bit of an issue with my Adsense ad’s. For some reason my ad’s on my right sidebar are completely missing. I’m using the Adsense widgets and for some reason they are completely not working. I may need to create a few new ad’s tomorrow.
Or maybe this is due to the high traffic on my site??? hmmmm.
I really really really appreciate the feedback and large interest in my site.
SHARE WITH ME YOUR BLOG or BLOGGING INTERESTS!!!
