“Pitino’s role as hoop head of state in Kentucky is no longer quite so secure. Calipari is on board at Camelot with the biggest coaching contract in college basketball and his eyes on the game’s biggest prize.” —Marty Dobrow: Rick Pitino hearing John Calipari’s footsteps - ESPN

DisCountess LuAnn (RHONY) and Husband Split → tvwatch.people.com

“It is obviously a very difficult time for the Countess and Count,” a rep for LuAnn says in a statement, “but they plan to remain friends and their primary focus will be to do what is best for their two children.”

At this time no legal separation has been filed. But according to the New York Post, which first broke the story, LuAnn discovered that her husband, who spends much of his time in Europe, was seeing another woman.

“LuAnn was blindsided. She was just devastated,” a friend of LuAnn’s told the Post’s Page Six.

Could a split mean she will lose her coveted title?

A friend of LuAnn’s says no: “She will always be the Countess,” says the pal.

“The über-lesson for presidents? You can’t be too honest in describing big problems, too bold in offering big solutions, too humble in dealing with big missteps, too forward in re-telling your story or too gutsy in speaking the previously unspeakable.” —Thomas Friedman (“Secrets of a Pollster” - NYTimes.com) (via webravebees)

Jill's conversation with Dairy Queen for my birthday cake

needtherapy:

meltinyourmouth:

1happyst:

Jill: I need it to say “Happy Birthday Brian”. That is all.
DQ: How do you spell that?
Jill: B-R-I-A-N
DQ: B-R-A-I-A-N-A?
Jill: No. B-R-I-A-N
DQ: Is that for a boy or a girl?
Jill: He’s a boy.
DQ: B-R-I-A-N-I-A?
Jill: No. Wow, okay. It’s B-R-I-A-N
DQ: Okay. I got Happy Birthday Brian, spelled B-R-A-I-N.
Jill (speechless)

I can’t wait to see this fuckin’ cake. You have no idea how disappointed I’ll be if my name is spelled right.

It will probably come back saying “Happy Mother’s Day”

Weird.  I just had nearly the same experience with Baskin Robbins.  Trust me, Dairy Queen cakes might look like butt, but they taste a whole lot better than Baskin Robbins’.

DQ asked me how to spell APRIL, need I say more?

“So I’m looking around for somebody to pray with, I just need maybe a little help, maybe a little extra,” said Palin. “And the McCain campaign, love ‘em, you know, they’re a lot of people around me, but nobody I could find that I wanted to hold hands with and pray.”

One anonymous staffer expressed his outrage to CNN. “It’s about us people who were on the plane, who showed extreme loyalty to Palin, continually getting thrown under the bus or slapped in the face by her comments, whether she means it or not,” the staffer said, adding that this is the kind of thing that would “cause you to question not only your loyalty but her judgment as a leader.”

This whole thing might have gone unnoticed, but for one thing: The Alaska GOP has posted the entire speech on YouTube.

The exchange soon ended and Powell returned to his cruiser to write a ticket. A few minutes later, another officer approached Powell to tell him a nurse said the mother-in-law was dying right then and Moats needed to get into the hospital.

“All right. I’m almost done,” Powell said in response.

“Call it Round Two of the news conference, with a big Internet twist. President Barack Obama took questions from the White House press corps on Tuesday in a prime-time, East Room session that represented the most formal and time-honored of president-and-reporter interactions. On Thursday, he is taking to that same room for another public grilling — this time by regular folks armed with questions submitted via the Internet and in person, as part of a political strategy to engage Americans directly. “It’s a way for the president to do what he enjoys doing out on the road, but saves on gas,” press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Wednesday. By 3 a.m. Thursday, the White House Web site had already logged more than 70,000 questions. Obama used the Internet to build a grass-roots movement that delivered the presidency and raised unheard-of money. Now in power, he is employing the same online network and style to speak — unfiltered — with Americans.” —The Associated Press: Obama turns to Web to bypass news media (via retropolitics)

U.S. shares blame for Mexico drug violence, Clinton says - CNN.com → cnn.com

The United States needs to stop the flow of guns, body armor and night-vision goggles to the cartels, Clinton said.

“These criminals are outgunning the law enforcement officials,” she said.

“When you go into a gunfight or are trying to round up these bad guys and they have military-style equipment that is much better than yours, you start out at a disadvantage. Since we know the vast majority of that comes from our country, we are going to help stop it from getting there in the first place.”
