Truth is, I bet a lot of us did, a lot of women saw and heard ourselves. We recognized the pain, the anger, the disbelief, the betrayal. And I would wager, when we did, each of us felt a little catch in our throats; a little flutter in our hearts.
What if one of us was Elizabeth Edwards? Jenny Sanford? Or Darlene Ensign, who stood loyally at the side of her husband, U.S. Sen. John Ensign, during a press conference not so long ago as he tried to explain away an extramarital affair with a campaign staff member? Or Silda Spitzer, standing by her husband, former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, confessing he’d hired prostitutes? What if we were the ones whose lousy marriages were exposed on national TV and in the tabloids? How would we react?

Richmond Delinois, a 35-year-old owner of a brick-making company, did not lose his house, but some of his workers did and are now living in his yard.
“How long are we going to remain like this?” he said. “The NGOs come, but no one tells us anything.”
Meanwhile, the case of 10 Americans charged with kidnapping in the wake of the earthquake here took another turn, with El Salvador police saying they are looking into a man presented as their Dominican lawyer, Jorge Puello.
El Salvador police said they were working to determine if Puello could in fact be Jorge Torres Orellana, who is wanted in the Central American country for allegations of running an international sex trafficking ring.
The ring lured women and girls from the Caribbean and Central America into prostitution with bogus offers of modeling jobs, according to Interpol, which has issued a wanted persons alert for Orellana.

The paper cited Troop 759 in Harlem, where Scoutmaster Okpoti Sowah, a Ghanaian immigrant, has been leading children for three decades.
Sowah reported that if a boy has been with the Scouts five years, there is a 91 percent chance he’ll finish high school, and he is nearly twice as likely as a nonscout to earn a college degree.
In a second question, Kinsolving asked: “Chicago Tribune reports that five days after Scott Lee Cohen won the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor of Illinois in the primary, Cohen withdrew after reports of beating his wife, using a knife to threaten a girlfriend prostitute, tax evasion, and use of anabolic steroids. And my question: Did the president ever have any concern about former lieutenant governor nominee Cohen being supported by Mayor Daley?”

I just got a press release from Scores New York, a “gentleman’s club” that is lobbying for pole dancing to become an Olympic sport.
Pole dancing, like pole vaulting, actually has a national governing body, the U.S. Pole Dance Federation. It has national competitions and takes itself seriously as a sport. A sexy sport, but still, a sport.
We should have seen this coming when rhythmic gymnastics got a spot on the Olympic podium. Ribbons, poles, what’s the difference, really? Other than the fact that nobody’s stuffing dollar bills down the panties of the girls on the gymnastic teams, of course.
Here’s how ESPN put it, before the national pole dancing championships last March:
…
But still. Come on. This is a stripper’s thing. A lot of activities that are highly athletic don’t necessarily belong in the Olympics . . . do they?

Sierra Rep’s lovable gangsters shine in ‘Guys And Dolls’
By Lisa Millegan, The Modesto Bee, Calif.
Feb. 12–SONORA — The gangsters and hustlers in the musical comedy “Guys and Dolls” have little in common with anyone on “The Sopranos.”
Created by New York writer Damon Runyon, these characters are for the most part lovable men who just want to make some dough without working too hard.
Director Dennis Jones beautifully depicts a romanticized version of early 1950s New York City in Sierra Repertory Theatre’s season-opening production.
Noble Dinse’s eye-catching Broadway set features a cartoonish version of the skyline with lots of bright lights and colorful storefront signs. In the opening scene, swindlers, prostitutes and gamblers try to avoid police on bustling Broadway.
With a knockout score from Frank Loesser, including such upbeat hits as the title number, “Luck Be a Lady” and “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” this show is classic American musical theater at its best.
