She knows several ways to blow a million dollars

Ashley Dupre, the prostitute from the Eliot Spitzer scandal, recently lost a $1 million contract with "Girls Gone Wild" when seven videos featuring Dupre were uncovered.

Not one. Seven.

The girl filmed seven "Girls Gone Wild" videos.

Joe Francis bought a bus ticket home for her.

But let's just focus on the fact that she filmed seven videos, over the course of a week.

She spent a week on the "Girls Gone Wild" bus. The girl is lucky she didn't pick up a drug-resistant staph infection or something.

President Bush, he's our hero, bringing pollution down to about 40%!

The Bush Administration is in favor of less stringent smog standards.

The EPA announced on Wednesday that they were "reducing the allowable concentrations of ozone in the air from 80 parts per billion to 75 parts per billion," according to CNN. They also had a secondary

The disagreement concerned the secondary set of standards issued by the EPA regarding the amount of protection from smog given to wildlife, farmlands and parks.

According to Tony Fratto, White House deputy (to the) press secretary, "this is not a weakening of regs (regulations) or standards [...] But it was an effort to make the standards consistent."

Weakening pollution standards for wildlife and farmland? Seriously? I could understand (maybe) if they were making smog regulations less stringent in cities. But in parks? Are they trying to be the bad guys in an episode of Captain Planet?

It's no "I Killed Kenny"

Client 9 T-Shirts Hit the Web.

Much has been said in the past few days about Elliot Spitzer. Llate night hosts haven't been this happy to have new material since Dick Cheney shot a guy in the face.

But it wasn't truely a political scandal. It's not a true political scandal until the ironic novelty t-shirts start hitting the Cafe presses.

Now, this is just a hunch, but I'm guessing this is supposed to be funny because it's implying that the wearer of the shirt is actually Client #9, and therefore enjoys frequenting expensive escort services.

Personally, I'm a fan of the less subtle "I have to pay for sex!"
