These peripheral stories are quite damning. But remain rumors.
I don't pay attention to Entertainment Today or TMZ.
Their stories, if true, will eventually be reported by hard news sources.
And are unrelated to the CIA, Afghanistan, and other significantly more important issues.

Petraeus plead guilty to a misdemeanor for giving classified secrets to his mistress, Paula Broadwell.
No jail time...only probation. A slap on the wrist and a warning to not do it again,
to someone who is no longer in the military or the government.

To whom do we owe: Thank you for your service to Petraeus ?, or Broadwell?

Initially the buzz was because Patraeus was supposed to testify on the Benghazi issue and resigned only a week before his appointment. Considering all the focus on that, I can see why it got the attention it did. But now it's more TMZ than anything else.

Reality TV is the current fad. A new and upcoming show will be called "Chase my Penis". Image. Join the "Penis of the Month" club. Collect bubble gum cards for each famous penis. Kid can aspire to be just like their new idol. I understand Netanyahu's penis will sell for more than a Joe DiMaggio card.

Ever since the Moral Magjority started covering up Greek statues, there has been this underground market for penis collector items. We have simply taken the penis out of the closet. Nobody wants to dance with Stars. Today, even Elmer Fudd goes hunting for pensis.
