#2 For her to get out there and think she can just shake her pompoms is upsetting

Shaking her pompoms appears to be this con's entire gig.

#3 Let's go back to Upton Sinclair, who observed the jungle out there and reported on how ugly it can be to watch sausage production.

Since we've mastered sausage production, I suppose this is what we're left to watch.

The Range Rover is a nice touch, though.

#6 Oh oh. Va. launches probe into business entity run by Salahis
The state of Virginia today began a formal investigation into the America's Polo Cup, the business entity run by Michaele and Tareq Salahi that the couple says raises funds for their charitable organization.

Tareq Salahi told the Post last year that the 2007 event raised about $250,000 for charity.

But in paperwork he filed with Virginia regulators, the foundation reported it received $18,608 in 2007, and donated $15,000 to its stated causes. Amounts that low are not subject to detailed federal tax reporting. There is no documentation of any further donations.

The foundation failed to register with state regulators for four years, leading the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to warn earlier this year that contributions "to such an organization could be used for non-charitable purposes." The foundation registered two weeks ago.

Your 15 minutes of fame are up. Let the years of legal proceedings begin.
