As Think Progress points out, “in 1998, while running for Nevada’s Senate seat against Harry Reid,” Senator John Ensign(R-NV) “called on President Clinton to resign in light of his admitted affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.”  Today, Ensign admitted to an extra marital affair of his own… one that has now perhaps turned to [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

These days it seems as if it’s a good time to invest in bicycles (to save gas money) and mattresses (to store your savings). At least, we can drown our sorrows in “hopsicles” and if we forget where we hid our money we can rely on our daily cuppa to refresh our memory. We may [...]
