Watch here and then read Juan Cole's defense: Although the answer was painful to watch just because Ms. Upton was so obviously stricken at that moment with stage fright, I actually think her answer had some merit...I hope that all U.S. Americans take to heart her values, and find ways to help improve education in this country about international affairs, and ways to help ensure that a whole generation of Iraqis displaced by our war does not grow up illiterate.

Mr Madam, gay go-go, and the dead hedge fund manager, part 2
ccording to the brothers’ lawsuit, Mrs. Tobias caused her husband “to ingest one or more controlled substances that induced loss of consciousness and capacity to breathe.” They further claimed that she caused him “to enter the swimming pool at their residence after his ingestion of controlled substances and in his stuporous and helpless condition he was asphyxiated and died.” Mr. Tobias’s best friend, Patrick Bransome, said in a statement to police that he had not seen him go in a pool or swim in years. Mr. Bransome declined to comment.
A few weeks later, Mr. Ash called the police and told them that Mrs. Tobias had confessed to him and that he had a tape recording to prove it. Mr. Ash has a past: he has been arrested at least 11 times on charges ranging from larceny to prostitution; He has been called Mr. Madam because of a past connection he says he had to Heidi Fleiss, the Hollywood Madam. Investigators flew to Mr. Ash’s home in San Diego and spent a day interviewing him.
“She confessed to me on tape,” Mr. Ash, said in an interview. “I believe she absolutely did it.” He would not provide the tape, but expressed outrage that the case was not moving more quickly. “I’m the only one standing up for him. Who else in this whole crazy thing is looking out for him?”
The police in Jupiter appeared unimpressed with Mr. Ash’s allegations. “You can take it for what it is worth,” Sergeant Pascarella said.

Oral Roberts Sr. to stop oral sex at ORU
That would be those guarding the money train at ORU are in a panic and they've called the old man back to save the day (or as he would say, rebuke the devil).
TULSA, Okla. - Oral Roberts returned to his namesake university Monday and denied the lurid accusations that have threatened to engulf the school, telling students and employees in a chapel service that "the devil is not going to steal ORU."...Making his first visit to Oral Roberts University in three years, Roberts said at the service that his son Richard Roberts, who took a leave of absence as the school's president last week, eventually will return to his position, the Tulsa World reported.

'Mr. Madam', gay go-go, and the dead hedge fund manager
Ash says that the Tobiases were fully aware of his past (the whoreing ring, the arrests, the writing of bad checks), and, in fact, welcomed it with open arms. Far from an impediment to his work, Ash’s CV apparently endeared him to Mr. Tobias, who Ash claims was gay, battled drug and alcohol addiction and had a penchant for buying sex. The personal assistant, who also has experience in couple’s counseling, says that the Seth and Filomena had a “volatile relationship,” and calls the marriage “a façade. He was gay. As far as I’m aware, he’s always had boyfriends.” Ash charges that Tobias’s most recent “boyfriend” was an exotic dancer from the local Palm Beach gay club called Cupids. According to Mr. Madam, Tobias’s dalliances with the “boyfriend,” known to friends and clients as “Tiger,” ultimately contributed to Filomena’s murder of her husband.
