So the rumors were true afterall. Kerry was pregnant during the Emmys and she's about 4 months along now, she told us weekly exclusively. Any guesses at the child's name. I favor Ada for a girl and Nnamdi for a boy :)

Online Comment of the Day
So by now, you've probably heard about Senator Ted Cruz's comment stating that the obamacare website was created by Nigerian e-mail scam artist and you've probably also heard that he has now issued an apology also stating in part that his wife spent part of her life in Nigeria and so he couldn't have meant any harm....
Ok he didn't say so he couldn't have meant any harm but you get the gist. It's the good ole I have black friends so I'm not racist bit.
By the way, I'm Nigerian and I was not offended by what he said. I'm not a 419 criminal so it was pretty obvious to me that he was not talking about me when he made the comment. However, quite a few Nigerians were offended and the Senator has now apoligised.
Here's a funny exchange online about the issue

Unfortunately, most of those "419" scams actually do originate in Nigeria, despite the fact that they are named after an article of the Nigerian penal code under which they are supposed to be prosecuted. The scammers are rarely arrested.
Charles tbetz Nigeria is TRYING to combat the problem though (and the Ambassador knows that). .........Correction Charles Cruz should demand that the ambassador apologize to the American people for his countrymen trying to defraud us.Peter2000 Correction Nobody is defrauding you.Your attempt to collect millions from the African dictator for doing nothing is defrauding you.Charles Peter2000 Stealing money from someone's bank account under false pretenses is, in fact and in law, defrauding.Peter2000 Charles What is the false pretenses. Do you have any money in Africa, you were waiting to collect? Only fraudsters give their account information to a stranger, telling them, they will be getting millions transferred in there.Charles Peter2000 You are calling the 91-year old, recent widow from my example (below) a fraudster?Peter2000 Charles My 85- year old grandmother knows a scam from a mile away. Tell your 91-year widow, not to give her bank account information to a complete stranger promising her millions.Zoemed Peter2000 Did not know I could ever agree with Peter2000 on anything given the rabid defence of GEJ by you. Anyway, Cruz is crazy and ought not be paid any attention. Nigerians can be used as cannon fodder for a thoughtless Govt. shut down that he championed when all reasonable individuals knew he was fighting a lost cause.

Correction Charles True. And I suppose Kerry should be the one demanding an apology from Nigeria anyhow.
Admin Charles Scammers are just like ants compared to the corrupt politicians and their loots. Email scams is just a fraction of Nigerian problem.
