Some Gorgeous Gossip (and Early Alaskan Fireworks)...

You've heard that Sarah Palin resigned. Have you heard this?

EXCLUSIVE: PALIN RESIGNATION 'DAMAGE CONTROL' FOR COMING 'ICEBERG SCANDAL' ... MORE: EMBEZZLEMENT INDICTMENTS COMING?

FURTHER UPDATE from The Brad Blog: Okay, I've now been able to get independent information from multiple sources that all of this precedes what are said to be possible federal indictments against Palin, concerning an embezzlement scandal related to the building of Palin's house and the Wasilla Sports Complex, built during her tenure as Mayor. Both structures, it is said, feature the "same windows, same wood, same products." Federal investigators have been looking into this for some time, and indictments could be imminent, according to the Alaska sources.

True? Or just gossip? Only time will tell...

Oh, How the Rich Suffer.

From the Wall Street Journal:

"According to a new survey by Prince & Assoc., more than 80% of multimillionaires who had extra-marital lovers planned to cut back on their gifts and allowances. Still, only 12% of the multimillionaire cheaters said they plan to give up on their lovers altogether for financial reasons.

"Fully 82% of men in the study said they planned to lower the allowances to their mistresses, while more than three quarters planned to provide fewer gifts, less expensive gifts and fewer perks, like jet rides, resort vacations and top restaurant meals.

"Women were far more generous to their paramours in the face of financial crises. Less than 20% planned to lower allowances, gifts and perks, while more than half planned to raise them.

"Susan Shapiro Barash, who teaches gender studies at Marymount Manhattan College ... said women value their lovers more than men in a time of economic trouble. 'For the women, lovers matter more than ever now because the rest of life is so dreary,' she said. 'For the men, they’re just cutting across the board.'"

As always, it's not the rich who suffer as much as the poor people under them. Heh.

What To Do Tonight?

Hmmmm. I have an entire evening ahead of me with nothing to do.

I've made my Obama phone calls and have annoyed most of southern PA and now I'm DEBATING whether to go to a movie or maybe just call it an early night. Like in bed at 9. Or maybe both.

Any ideas?

(As the kids say, "Psyche!")

Okay, in an effort to add some excitement to the debate (as if it will need any), I am including a link here to Palin Bingo. You can play along while drinking Moosehead and listening to the soundtrack from "Fargo."

Feel free to chime in on the "Create Your Own Bingo Card" because I think this game could be much funnier. I will start with the square "Track in Iraq".

Off to the liquor store.

Oh, a little something to tide you over until 9 pm. The 1984 Miss Alaska Swimsuit Competition, starring Miss Sarah Heath (Palin):
