...hid compromising material in a box of sanitary pads...

$1.2 billion would make them the most absorbent pads on the market.

Chinese deranged is an extra-special kind of deranged. Or so I’ve been told.

It would have been MUCH cheaper for him to have gone to a legal brothel in Nevada.

Proverbs 7....especially verses 21-27....

Hosea 4:6

Not again....this story is getting a little old...no?

Who is smarter....the guy who makes billions of bucks...

Or the woman who reels him in, and tries to filet him, like a big fat tuna....?
