Married Congressman Chris Lee’s Craigslist scandal

New York Republican Congressman Christopher Lee has become the latest conservative to resign because of a scandal. This time, the married representative was flirting with a woman on Craigslist, claiming to be a divorced lobbyist without bothering to come up with an alias or use an email address that wasn’t connected to his official Facebook page.

This photo was taken at CMU, a public university. I’d hate to get stuck on a Pictionary team with these guys.

They wouldn’t hire you as a cop because you’re too intelligent . No, seriously…

“Police reject candidate for being too intelligent.”

You won’t believe the way this school spelled “students.”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs blamed for 9/11

Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly being sued

for $1 trillion by a Los Angeles woman who claims he is responsible for the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Playing the Victim Fail

A Poinciana Parkway man wanted to “file a missing persons report for his wife, who was staying with family and no longer wanted to speak to him. The man said she had to come home, because he didn’t know how to cook for himself.”

Joe Biden mistakes a congresswoman’s gender

Judge Ball: Masturbator’s testimony was “self serving”

Unlike the good folks at the FAILblog, who are frequently duped in to publishing onion-esque articles on their front page, I made sure to check to make sure this was a legitimate article before posting.

Gabor’s prince mistakes glue for eye drops

“Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband, Prince Frederic Von Anhalt, accidentally glued his eye shut Tuesday morning”

News of this happening to someone in the world seems to pop up at least once every few years. The last time I recall was this, as Bill Maher reported:

“An elderly woman in Pheonix was reaching for her cataract medicine and, yes, she Super glued her eye shut. And after seeing what happened, her husband of many years, took the Super Glue and moved it next to the toothpaste.”

This particular incident is only slightly political because the guy who did it happens to have bought his way in to a royal family, sorta. But it brings up all sorts of person memories for me, like when my friend mistook aerosol glue for aerosol deodorant and when I mistook aquarium glue for lotion in the dark.

Pat Robertson: LEGALIZE POT?!?!?!?!?!?

“…criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possesion of a few ounces of pot, and that kind of thing, I mean it’s just, it’s costing us a fortune and it’s ruining young people. You people go in to prisons, they go in as youths, and they come out as hardened criminals, and that’s not a good thing.” -Pat Robertson

While the above quote had to be salvaged from repeated words and verbalized pauses, I was shocked, SHOCKED, to hear Evangelist Pat Robertson speaking reasonably about drug policy… or anything, for that matter.
