Fall from Grace: Sex, Scandal and Corruption in American Politics from 1702 to Present
Washington scandal is more than accidental -- it's an American tradition! Political misdeeds are older than the republic. Throughout history an aggressive news media has consistently exposed irregularities and illegalities on all sides -- helping to shape our perceptions about politics and politicians. This fact-filled book names the names and sets the scenes -- from almost every presidential administration -- letting loose history's best-kept secrets and most infamous scandals, such as: "The Governor in Skirts" -- In 1702, Lord Cornbury, New York's drunken, cross-dressing Colonial governor-general, insisted on wearing formal hooped skirts and lady's accessories in public as a tribute to the fashionable Queen Anne. "The Overzealous Colonel" -- Oliver North's predecessor in clandestine paramilitary activities was William S. Smith, in Thomas Jefferson's administration. Intent on aiding Venezuelan freedom fighters in their battle against Spanish occupation, he raised private funds, secured weapons, and enlisted soldiers of fortune for his private army. Drawing comparisons between malfeasance in times gone by and today's simmering scandals, Fall From Grace demonstrates how our intriguing if imperfect system manages to stay afloat -- almost despite itself -- and exposes the all-too-fallible men and women who take the front page by storm.

That wonderful 50-degree weather is going, going, gone. The National Weather Service tells us that by 5 p.m., temperatures should be entering the upper 30s en route to the mid-20s overnight. A few snow showers are likely, blown around by a stiff 20 to 30 mph wind.
So I donât know about you cold weather folks, but this warm week has been just what I need to draw me out of my Siberian snow globe called winter in Happy Valley. And with the dreary blues pushed from my mind â" at least for the moment â" Iâm counting down the days until Spring Break.
ok, so how bout me and my ex were talking tonight. talking...or fighting....ya know. and she said well maybe if the sex was good i wouldn't be such a b**** to ya. and i said you always said it was awesome. she said yea, i lied to make YOU feel better. man, that kills to hear something like that. and it kills even worse because i love the girl. we didn't date a great deal of time, but have always been close. we had sex maybe 10 times and she was always excited. I have performed better, but then again, it was my first times making love. which to me was so much more intense. give me the answers i need to hear. about how she sounds horrible and isn't worth a second of my time. go head. i reposted this because people kept thinking it was a virgin. no, i've had my fair share, but none that ever meant anything more than fun. this was love. that's what i mean by my first time making love. there is a difference, i felt it.
