Congratulations to Ms. Monica Lewinsky!
America’s SweeTart just graduated from the London School of Economics with an M.S. in Social Psychology. Interestingly enough, her LSE master’s thesis was law-oriented: an examination of the effect of pretrial publicity on jury selection. (Monica: Please don’t treat that rolled-up diploma like a cigar. Thank you.) Lewinsky graduates from London School of Economics [Reuters […] -

Pick Your Poison: Janet Jackson's Exposed Breast, or a Horny Manatee
Near the top of the NYT “Most E-Mailed Articles” list sits a piece entitled So This Manatee Walks Into the Internet.
