• A member of Congress resigned today for having an extramarital affair with a female member of his staff. No, silly, not Sen. John Ensign.

Last month I wrote about the seemingly never ending saga over the estate of J. Howard Marshall II – the late husband of starlet Anna Nicole Smith.

• In case you missed it, America’s Toughest Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, announced yesterday that he will not be running for governor of Arizona this year.
