Young Women in the News

A couple of young women were in the news today. The first, a 22 year-old from the Jersey Shore, whose name isn't very important at all, charged $1,000 an hour to have sex with the governor of New York. When she's not hooking, she's an aspiring nightclub singer it seems.

The other woman, 19 year-old Monica Lin Brown, also made the news, but in a much lesser way. This Texan teenager was awarded the nation's third highest military metal, the Silver Star. Army Spc. Brown, a medic stationed in Afghanistan, earned the medal for her bravery saving her wounded comrades. According the the well-concealed news report:

Army Spc. Monica Lin Brown is only the second woman since World War II to receive the medal, one of the nation's highest military awards given for gallantry in combat.
''She just did what she was trained to do," her 74-year-old grandmother, Katy Brown, said from her Lake Jackson [Texas] home on Sunday.
Monica Brown, a medic, was part of a four-vehicle convoy patrolling near Jani Kheil in the eastern province of Paktia when a bomb struck one of the Humvees on April 25, military officials said.
After the explosion, she braved insurgent gunfire and mortars to reach five wounded soldiers. She shielded them as she administered aid and helped drag them to safety, the military said.
"I did not really think about anything except for getting the guys to a safer location and getting them taken care of and getting them out of there," Monica Brown told The Associated Press on Saturday from a U.S. base in the province of Khowst.

I'll bet you didn't hear or read about Monica Brown. I'll bet you know what the hooker's name is.

Ooooooh! It's the ultimate death-match in a cage time. The final primaries for the Democratic nomination. "It's Obama's to lose." "Hillary's getting steamrollered." "Eleven straight losses have buried her." Well, ... I don't think so. I can't see HRC walking off stage because she came in second in Texas. Or Ohio. Or Rhode Island. Or whereever else. C'mon, it's a real fight and there's gonna be blood splattered on the walls before the night's over. The spin is already circulating, too. "Unless Obama sweeps the primary, that means that the dems still want HRC." I think I got that one right. I dunno, the spin is coming so fast it's tough to keep track of it. If you listen to Howard Wolfson and Harold Ickes long enough, your brains will melt and run out your ear holes onto your shirt. You will drool. Their spin is so intense, it's like looking into a galactic vortex, a black hole, a super nova of bullshit. No mere human can stand it. I can't anyway. HRC is ahead, behind, surging forward, being overwhelmed and maintaining her narrow margin. That's all in one day. Tuesday's gonna be fun. Has anyone figured out what Sen. Obama's position on ethanol is? How about gay voter registration? Or the Law of the Sea Treaty?
