Kinky Lede of the Week
The Secret Service has stripped 11 agents tied to a prostitution scandal in Colombia of their "Top Secret" clearances... Read the rest.
Cavorting on your dime
If you've just mailed a sizable check to the IRS, you might want to avoid looking at these pictures of government employees living high on the taxpayer hog. Not good for your blood pressure.

The upside of hooker haggling
Reason sees an upside to the Secret Service scandal: "...police were called in over haggling about a $47 fee between a hooker and a Secret Service agent ...
This was a rare and laudable example of a Department of Homeland Security employee trying to save taxpayers some money..."

Gossip, rumors, truths and cover-ups
Shssssh... Laughing Conservative spills the beans:
Gossip has it that the Secret Service prostitution scandal at the Summit of the Americas in Colombia was sparked by agents' ignorance of local law which allows hotels to make an extra charge if a woman goes to a man's room. Double fail: evidence of undisciplined conduct, but also evidence of poor pre-planning and research by a team charged with protecting a hotel full of Administration aides and staff. Even before the current scandal, morale at the agency was rumored to be low --with protectors hostile towards management that they felt did not support them sufficiently in disputes with protectees.
Rumor has it that Amanda Bynes, who allegedly sideswiped a cop car at 3 a.m., is the latest starlet to suffer from Britney/Lindsay Syndrome
There's Gossip that the Obama SuperPac may have return Bill Maher's million-dollar donation after Maher went go too far in insulting conservative women.

Barack Obama's Diary
Dear Diary: You would think that an eminent personage like Myself could catch a break from the media hacks while I'm far from home at the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia. But no. It seems some Secret Service guys [not my personal detail] decided to have night on the town before my arrival. A prostitute was said to have been hired and then not paid, so she laid a complaint, if you will. Now the whole daggone advance team has been recalled to the US. I thought I had planned for everything at this summit... I even have an agent checking constantly for open mikes so I don't have my private comments to other leaders on my "flexibility" broadcast to the world. Now comes this disaster: Instead of having a spotlight shine on Myself warming the hearts of those millions of Latino voters back home, I have become a mere footnote to this sordid tale of deceit and debauchery. The conference at the castle of San Felipe de Barajas, an ancient but still functional structure [kinda like Joe Biden] concluded without any major problems. Now I am preparing for bed. Marvelous Marv has laid out my jammies and Boo-boo, my blankey, plus one of my favorite MET-rx protein bars in case I wake in the middle of the night jet-lagged and hungry. My personal Secret Service detail are on duty so I can sleep soundly. Now for my prayer to myself, and so to bed.
