New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is reportedly working on plans to resign his post after a federal investigation linked him to a prostitution ring. Spitzer held a brief press conference on Monday to apologize to his family and the people of New York on Monday without specifically mentioning what he was sorry for.
The Republican leader of the state Assembly said he would introduce articles of impeachment on Thursday if Spitzer hadn't resigned by then. Assemblyman James Tedisco said it was a matter of right and wrong, saying he would give Spitzer two days to address any legal issues he might be facing, but that it would be impossible to continue the work of state governance with the "zoo" at the state capitol since the issue came to light.
If (or at this point, perhaps, when) he steps down, Lieutenant Governor David Paterson will take over as the first African-American Governor of New York and only the 4th in US history.New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is reportedly working on plans to resign his post... more

Clinton campaign chairman, Terry McAuliffe was abruptly cut off during an interview on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher.
The satellite feed was lost after Maher's second attempt to identify McAuliffe's position on election brokering and highly controversial superdelegates. Maher expressed concern when Clinton's chief advisor failed to answer any of his questions directly.
McAuliffe's final words before the video feed dropped:"June 1st is Puerto Rico, which, Bill, you and I should go down and cover that. A couple of pina coladas down there at the Caribe Hilton to finish up the last primary"

YouTube is investigating a sudden surge in traffic that boosted a clip of a Brazilian pop band to the top of its most viewed video chart.
The clip called Music is My Hot Hot Sex is by the Brazilian electro band Cansei De Ser Sexy and it has been viewed by nearly 90 million people.
However, in just three weeks, it got 40 million views pushing it from tenth place to YouTube's top position and the surge has left YouTube fans wondering if the 'books have been cooked'.
Update:
The video's Italian creator, who uses the pseudonym Clarus Bartel, had described the video as "ugly" and "made on a whim"
In an unexpected twist, the Italian factory worker, blogger, and amateur photographer who uploaded the video last year, has deleted the clip which was listed as having been viewed a world record 114.3 million times. Evolution Of Dance ranked second with 78.6 million views.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE ENRON SCANDAL
The Shocking Truth Behind The Scandal At Enron And The Possible Cause of Kenneth Lay's Retirement and Early Death.
It seems the whole thing was a cover-up to avoid the embarrasment of saying what really happened to the investment money and employee pension fund that was presumed to have been stolen by crooked Enron execs.
Even the California Energy Crisis which Enron was blamed for profitting off of by manufacturing black-outs is mentioned in this documentary.
The Truth may shock and scare you! Your financial savings are never completely safe from these masked rogue traders of death and dismemberment!

Tim Floyd is a bad coach and a horrible man. Just do the right thing coach, follow the rules. For some reason I think that he thinks that "bailing out Mayo" means that this thing can just be swept under the couch. Oh well. We'll see.
USC coach takes heat for Mayo
Posted: Thursday January 24, 2008 07:01AM ET
USC Coach Tim Floyd said Wednesday that he told star freshman O.J. Mayo that he could accept free Lakers tickets and that if anybody should be punished for potential NCAA violations, it should be the coach. "My feeling is that if there's a mistake made, it was made by me," Floyd said. "If they want to suspend me for a game, suspend me for a game, but not the kid. He did the right thing." Floyd said he thought it was acceptable for Mayo to receive complimentary tickets from Denver Nuggets All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony, whom Mayo has known since the seventh grade, because the players were friends. Mayo attended the Lakers' 116-99 victory over the Nuggets on Monday at Staples Center.Tim Floyd is a bad coach and a horrible man. Just do the right thing coach, follow the... more

This can't be true.
From the Los Angeles times...
"Just before the start of this college basketball season, UCLA received a letter of inquiry from the NCAA, seeking information about possible illegal contact between a recruit and a person representing the interests of the university. The recruit was Kevin Love, now the Bruins' star freshman center. The person representing the interests of the university was John Wooden. The NCAA has not disclosed who made the complaint. Love and his family visited Wooden during his recruiting trip. They had a nice chat, Wooden teased the Loves' young daughter, Emily, for being so quiet, and a nice time was had by all." - Los Angeles TimesThis can't be true.

Hinn and Dollar are among six televangelists being investigated by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley to determine if the high-profile preachers violated their organizations' tax-exempt status by living lavishly on the backs of small donors. They have denied wrongdoing.
The resignations follow that of Richard Roberts, who stepped down as university president in November amid allegations he misspent school funds to bankroll a lavish lifestyle. Roberts, the son of school founder Oral Roberts, held the position at the 5,700-student school since 1993.

Yet another headline to add to their scrapbook...Blake Fielder-Civil was arrested yesterday evening over claims he has been involved with attempting to fix a court case. Arrested in Bow, East London, Blake was apprehended by 8 plain clothes police officers, and after a tearful goodbye from Ms. Winehouse was subsequently bundled into an unmarked police car. Winehouse' husband is alleged to have offered £200,000 to the victim in the court case in which he, alongside his friend Michael Brown, is charged with GBH with intent.
Amy and Blake's life has been well documented by the British Press who have been accused of only fuelling any problems that the singer and her husband may have had, although it is said that she is not involved in Civil's attempts to collapse the court hearing.
