Dalai Lama on Tibet, Fox News on Obamania, Spitzer on the spot

Two years later, woman emerges from bathroom

A 35-year-old Kansas woman sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years — so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time he called police. “I should have gotten help for her sooner; I admit that,” said her boyfriend, Kory McFarren. “But after awhile, you kind of get used to it.”
The 210 take: Um, you get used to a new haircut or the fact that Britney Spears is no longer hot. You don't get used to the fact that your girlfriend has been sitting on the toilet for two years.

The Dalai Lama is one angry Buddhist

The Dalai Lama warned Tibet faced “cultural genocide” and appealed to the world for help. Chinese forces were blanketing the region's capital as pro-%independence protests spread elsewhere in China. The Buddhist spiritual leader launched a scathing criticism of China's %57-year rule of Tibet and called for an international probe into the unrest.
The 210 take: I'm not saying “cultural genocide” is melodramatic, but it does appear the Dalai Lama is riding drama llama.

Fox News show hasn't caught Obamania

Hoping to prod Barack Obama into appearing on its show, “Fox News Sunday” launched the “Obama Watch.” Host Chris Wallace said that Obama promised him in March 2006 that he would come on the show, but the candidate has since demurred. Since then, Hillary Rodham Clinton has been a guest twice and John McCain has shown up a half dozen times.
The 210 take: Fox promised “fair and balanced” questions about how Obama is secretly a Muslim and why his middle name is Hussein.

Spitzer swallows his pride, resigns

In a startlingly swift fall from grace, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned after getting caught in a call-girl scandal that left him facing the prospect of criminal charges. Spitzer was succeeded by Lt. Gov. David Paterson, a fellow Democrat who becomes the state's first black governor and first legally blind chief executive.
The 210 take: As his last act, Spitzer asked Paterson to sign his pardon-shaped farewell card.

Scary teen STD rates nothing to clap about

About one in four teenage girls in the U.S. have at least one sexually transmitted disease, according to the first national study to assess combined rates of the most common STDs among young women. Those numbers translate into an estimated 3.2 million adolescent females infected with one of the four most common STDs.
The 210 take: And the rate of STDs among girls who've been with Stevie “Smooth Talker” McDee is even higher.
