Elizabeth Lambert Interview

Prejean Sextape – Is "sex tape" spelled with one word or two? Should it be hyphenated? Does it matter? Not on Google it doesn't. Type any version of the phrase today and you're sure to discover the revelation that the Carrie Prejean sex video is in fact real. She confirmed on Fox News last night that she made the X-rated video of herself for her then-boyfriend when she was 17-years-old. It was "the biggest mistake of my life," she told Fox. E! reports that the sex tape had been offered for sale to various websites over the past few months but that none would buy it. Nik Richie of TheDirty.com told E!, "It was very graphic and our lawyers wouldn't let us put it on the site."
Edmund Fitzgerald – A dashing British socialite? Robert Pattinson's rumored sidekick in the third 'Twilight' film? Madonna's new beau? Edmund Fitzgerald is none of these things. In fact, old Eddie is a boat, and a sunk one at that. On this day 34 years ago, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald AKA Mighty Fitz sank in Lake Superior during a thunderstorm. It was a very handsome ship, we're told. And it was also the subject of Gordon Lightfoot's hit "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."

Elizabeth Lambert Interview – If Elizabeth Lambert isn't the most famous female soccer player in the world, we don't know who is. Thing is, she's never done an interview. At least not since she ravaged BYU's team with a series of flagrant fouls during a Mountain West semi-final last Thursday. The only peep out of Lambert was a terse apology note released after the game: "I let my emotions get the best of me in a heated situation. This is no way indicative of my character or the soccer player that I am."

Marine Corps Birthday

Semper Fi! Today is the Marine Corps Birthday 2009, a day we remember because my husband served as a proud Marine in Vietnam. Tomorrow is Veterans' Day so it only seems appropriate to celebrate the USMC birthday today.

November 10 marks the 234th birthday of the Marine Corps. Thank you to the soldiers who served and the families who shared them. Also thank you to the soldiers currently serving and risking their lives everyday. For those who survived battle like my husband, welcome home.

Although my husband and some of his brothers were rendered disabled in the war, you can tell a Marine a mile away. The straight back, proud face and noble attitude is present in all of them to the end.

Ronald Reagan, at one of his few brighter moments, once said, "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But the Marines don't have that problem."

Will you celebrate the Marine Corps birthday 2009 with your favorite soldiers? If you don't have "one of your own", please take quiet time to appreciate these brave people who serve us everyday. Happy Birthday USMC!

Please take a few minutes to watch the Commandant of the Marine Corps., General James T. Conway, deliver the 234th Marine Corps birthday message, "Carrying On A Legacy of Valo
