A Scandal in Seven Hills

Lee on Nov 16 2008 | Filed under: Foreign affairs, Humor

The premier of New South Wales, Mr. Nathan Rees, was reportedly surprised to discover that an illegal brothel was in operation above his offices, in a commercial building in the Seven Hills area outside Sydney. Unfortunately for the brothel’s owners, Mr. Rees is taking steps to have the rather obtrusively titled “Tiantian Chinese Massage Shop” shut down. Unsurprisingly, it seems journalists were intimately familiar with the parlor’s location and purposes.

But tech writer Steve Levenstein had the most amusing observation on this: Apparently now a politician knows what it’s like to be screwed from above.

Did You Know John Edwards Had A Love-Baby?

Joshua Foust on Aug 13 2008 | Filed under: Domestic Politics

I’m honestly kind of surprised that people are surprised John Edwards had an affair on his cancer-ridden wife and fathered a baby. I mean, I know that’s something we thought was limited only to Republicans like Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani, but honestly? That’s a big shocker? So I asked my friend Dave, one of those clear-eyed Obamanauts I enjoy asking about current events, what he thought.

Josh: so hey how about that John Edwards
omigod a politician lied about having sex!
that’s so new and we’ve never had to deal with that before!

David: HAHA I KNOW
what the public wants to know is:

Josh: and people are freaking out about it
IS IT CURVED

David: WILL OBAMA DENOUNCE HIM!?!?!

Right, so there you have it.
