David Petraeus has surprisingly and abruptly resigned as director of the CIA. The decorated former chief of U.S. Central Command cited an extramarital affair. “After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair,” Petraeus’ resignation letter said. “Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours.” “Teddy Roosevelt once observed that life’s greatest gift is the opportunity to work hard at work worth doing.” “I will always treasure my opportunity to have done that with you and I will always regret the circumstances that brought that work with you to an end.” The retired four-star general had a distinguished 37-year career in the military before joining the CIA, commanding forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Petraeus, 60, has been widely praised by both sides of the political aisle. He took the helm of the CIA in September 2011; his sudden resignation came as a surprise, just days after President Barack Obama won reelection . President Obama said in a statement: “By any measure, he was one of the outstanding general officers of his generation, helping our military adapt to new challenges, and leading our men and women in uniform through a remarkable period of service in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he helped our nation put those wars on a path to a responsible end.” “As director of the Central Intelligence Agency, he has continued to serve with characteristic intellectual rigor, dedication and patriotism.” Obama accepted Petraeus’ resignation Friday.
On October 21 st 2012 I was fortunate enough to meet my very own idol, Justin Bieber . To start, I want to explain that I did not buy meet and greets passes, and I only had lower level seats (which were very good!) It all started this summer when my dad met Dan Kanter, and sure enough they are now friends. They were at a concert for a Phish show, and my dad saw Dan . He immediately ran over to him and began chatting him up and telling him how much I loved Justin, and how I have been a fan since before he was very mainstream. After talking for a while about this and that, Dan asked if we had tickets to any of the shows on the Believe Tour and in fact we did and then things happened and here we are now. Now fast forward to the day of the concert, we had been roaming around Milwaukee the whole day and having fun talking to fans. I even saw Kenny on a Segway! I was also interviewed for a Milwaukee website/newspaper and I am at 0:15 in the video, note it was very windy outside. He asked me what Justin meant to me and how long I had been there, and I had been there since around noon. After getting merchandise and talking to more fans, the meet and greet line was forming, and I decided to walk around some more and then get in line because I didn’t want to be first at all. We got in line and then my dad called Dan and he said he would come and meet us inside the building. We jumped the line and got inside and finally, I saw Dan. I immediately ran up to him and gave him a hug and told him how happy and blessed I was to be having this opportunity. Dan was honestly one of the nicest and coolest guys I have ever me t. We small talked about things and he told me that when I’m meeting Justin to try to engage him in to the conversation. After many more thank you’s and talking with Dan, we all got our wristbands and walked to the line. After an hour wait, I was next in line and to say I was excited would be an understatement. I was shaking already and about to break down crying. I had planned out what I was going to say to Justin. I saw Kenny who was standing about a foot away from me and I smiled at him and said, “Hi Kenny!” He looked at me and smiled, and then went back to talking to whoever he was speaking to before. A minute or so passed and then they announced “NEXT GROUP” and I went in with my group, which was my mom, dad, and I. They pulled back the black surrounded curtain area and I saw him standing there, looking perfect as always. Justin was standing there fixing his hair and he looked amazing; he was wearing black skinnies, a black long sleeved shirt, black jacket, and some very nice jewelry . I walked in and I just stopped in my tracks, my legs wouldn’t move, at all. I just looked at him, and then he looked up and gave me the most amazing smile that I had ever seen in my whole life. I blanked and forget everything that I was going to say to him. I finally got my legs to move themselves and I walked over to him and stood right next to him. I was standing next to my idol that I have been waiting four long years to meet. “Hi hun, how are you?” Justin said very calmly to me, and I replied with a “Hi” because that is all that would come out. Then Justin started coughing, so I backed away so he would have his privacy. Then when he was done, he looked down at me and then took my waist and pulled me in to him very swiftly. They took a picture and I honestly don’t even remember taking a picture at all, let alone looking at a camera. I was about to walk out and he pulled me in to a hug, and when I was hugging him all I could think was that he smelt so freaking amazing and that he gave the best hugs in the world. I finally got a few more words out, but only in a whisper. I said “I love you Justin” and then I started crying with what he said next. He looked at me, his eyes were so gorgeous and he whispered back to me “I love you too” and with that I had to leave and when I was walking out I said “Thank you so much” To no one in particular and Justin himself replied to me and said “Thank you sweetheart.” That was hands down the best moment of my life, and after walking out I started balling my eyes out and it was uncontrollable. The thing about Bieber fans is that they are truly happy for you when you meet Justin, unlike other fan bases that would be jealous. I walked outside by myself so I could get some air and try to stop hyperventilating I was greeted with man girls asking “How was it, how was it” and “I am so happy for you” and many hugs. It was the greatest feeling to know that they were truly happy for you and that you could share your now, priceless story with them. The concert was utterly flawless and amazing in all ways, Justin preformed with grace and beauty like he always did. My favorite was when he sang Believe it was so emotional for all of the fans, and there was not many dry eyes in the whole arena. To say the least October 21, 2012 was the best day of my life and I could have never asked for anymore. Special thanks to Dan Kanter, because I would have never been in his position or had this opportunity if it hadn’t been for you, and I am so thankful for it. – Shae (@BiebsGotSwagg96) The rest is here: On October 21st 2012 I was fortunate enough to meet my very own…
As old and as annoying as Jenny McCarthy is….I find these pictures of her dressed up for Halloween kinda hot…sure it would be more interesting if it was a pic taken at the special school for autistic kids that her son attends on their Halloween party…instead of outside a Vegas club…you know where all good mothers go to celebrate Halloween well into their 40s…all half naked and shit….because I always prefer to see women…even older women dressed slutty…wearing push up bras…when they normally aren’t that kind of woman…when they are Playboy playmates from the 90s it is kinda expected…but the one redeeming factor, other than that she is still hot…even in her 40 year old skin…is that her tits are probably only tweens. Good costume. Good times. I’d love to have the opportunity to give her another disabled child. I feel like my weak sperm and her weak uterus are a match made in handicap kid making heaven…..we can have an army of them….all the parking stickers our hearts desire…never again will we have to walk more that 20 feet to the entrance of the mall…our future together is so bright.

The Silver Fox has been caged. As first reported by The New York Times , Warner Brothers has given the axe to Anderson, effective at the conclusion of Season 2; the final episode of this talk show will air in the summer of 2013. Said Anderson Cooper in a statement: “I am very proud of the work that our terrific staff has put into launching and sustaining our show for two seasons. I am also grateful to Telepictures for giving me the opportunity, and indebted to viewers, who have responded so positively.

Justin Timberlake has posted an open letter on his website to both apologize for a wedding video that made the rounds on the Internet this week, and also to clarify a few points regarding it. The video in question depicts homeless people wishing Justin and his new bride, Jessica Biel, well on their nuptials – and many have reacted harshly to the mockery of the subjects on film. Justin Timberlake Wedding Video “I think we can all agree that it was distasteful,” Timberlake writes, adding: “I was always taught that we as people, no matter what your race, sex, or stature may be, are equal.” JT goes on to say: The video was NOT actually shown at the wedding. He had “ZERO” contribution to it. His friends behind it are “good people” who simply showed a “lapse in judgment” in this case. Concludes the artist: “I do understand the reaction and, by association, I am holding myself accountable. “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts. It really is a blessing to be able to speak directly to my true fans so that you can know exactly where I stand.”
Tina Fey is one unhappy comedian. The 30 Rock star spoke last night at the Center for Reproductive Rights Inaugural Gala in New York City, using the opportunity to call out Todd Akin of Missouri, Richard Mourdock of Indiana and other politicians who have remarked on abortion and rape over the past few weeks. “I wish we could have an honest and respectful dialogue about these complicated issues,” Fey said. “But it seems like we can’t right now. And if I have to listen to one more gray-faced man with a two-dollar haircut explain to me what rape is, I’m gonna lose my mind.” Watch now: Tina Fey at Center for Reproductive Rights Gala

You can’t be serious … Jason Thompson, the son of Republican Wisconsin U.S. Senate candidate Tommy Thompson, made an off-color remark at President Obama’s expense which has now gone viral: In a clip posted on YouTube from a Republican Party Of Kenosha County brunch event, Jason Thompson commented that “we have the opportunity” to send President Barack Obama “back to Chicago — or Kenya,” drawing applause from the crowd. Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus was among the other speakers, adding that “we have an opportunity to save America” by electing Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Shorewood (Wis.) Patch reports that Tommy Thompson, who was not at the event, told reporters that he had not seen the video. A spokesperson for his campaign told BuzzFeed that “Jason Thompson said something he should not have, and he apologizes.” This, amidst all of the denials that race is not at all involved. From the mouths of babes comes the conversation at the dinner table. Shame on all of you who do this. Republicans have lost their ability to feel shame. Anything is okay as long as they win.
