“Thank God” is right. Finally the Massachusetts Senate race is starting to get interesting. No, not the primary — that’s over and done. Obedient Massachusetts Democrats will do as they’re told and nominate the party bosses’ pick, Harvard Law professor Elizabeth Warren. I’m talking about the battle royale, Scott Brown vs. Elizabeth Warren which has turned, literally, into a “beauty contest.” It began at Tuesday night’s Boston Herald debate when Warren was asked how she paid for college. In reference to Brown posing for Cosmo, Warren quipped, “I kept my clothes on.” Gales of hearty liberal laughter ensued. Then, yesterday...

People get understandably fatigued by America’s “confessional culture,” but insofar as this encourages abused kids to speak up and aim high, it’s all to the good. It sounds like the molestation took place over a relatively short period of time but the duration of the beatings is less clear. Probably not “relatively short,” though: Brown told also Stahl that he endured brutal physical abuse by more than one stepfather and even considered purchasing a Wakefield home where he’d been battered, “just so I could burn it down.” “I actually called the realtor and went in and took the tour and...

Washington is replete with idiots, but Senate Republicans seem to have the highest incidence of political idiocy in the entire capital.

After basically evading reporters all day, the Massachusetts Republican recently announced that he will support the arms reduction treaty. Brown told reporters following a closed-session intelligence briefing that he had given the issue “due diligence” and hoped see the treaty ratified. “I believe it’s something that’s important for our country, and I believe it’s a good move forward to deal with our national security issues,” he said. A cloture vote is expected on Tuesday.

You'd have to be eligible for Social Security to remember the last time a Republican sat in the Senate seat made vacant last year when Ted Kennedy died. Scott Brown is the first Republican to win the seat since Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. won it in 1946. On Tuesday, the citizens of Massachusetts voted in a special election to fill the seat with Brown, favoring the former Cosmopolitan centerfold by 52 percent to 47 percent for his opponent, Democrat Martha Coakley. Democrats have occupied this seat since 1952, when John F. Kennedy defeated Lodge. Seven years later, the eldest of...

Libtards were lighting up the boards today with their shock that Brown would have posed nude in a Cosmo centerfold.

Sally Quinn: "Scott Brown is a hunk ... a lot of women will vote for him 'cause he's cute."

I wandered over to the Huffington Post and naturally, almost all there are ardent supporters of Coakley. But they are hoping Brown gets labeled with "Porn" because of the following article. As a Grandmother, I think he looks really "hot", and would consider this article a positive, not a negative. Long before he was a politician, the Republican candidate vying for Ted Kennedy’s U.S. Senate seat posed nude for the centerfold of Cosmo. Scott Brown won our “America’s Sexiest Man” contest and appeared in the June 1982 issue. In those days he was a 22-year-old law student at Boston College...

Wow! The special Senate election in Massachusetts is already way more exciting than anyone thought it would be. And now get this... the insurgent Republican posed naked in Cosmo in 1982

Bank of America Accused in Ponzi Lawsuit By LESLIE WAYNE Bank of America effectively set up a branch in a Long Island office that helped Nicholas Cosmo carry out a $380 million Ponzi scheme, according to a class-action lawsuit filed in federal court. The lawsuit, filed in Federal District Court in Brooklyn late Thursday, contends that Bank of America “established, equipped and staffed” a branch office in the headquarters of Mr. Cosmo’s firm, Agape Merchant Advance. As a result, the lawsuit contends that the bank knowingly “assisted, facilitated and furthered” Mr. Cosmo’s fraudulent scheme. “Bank of America was at the...

Authorities on Monday arrested the chief executive of a private New York financing firm on suspicion of running a purported Ponzi scheme that attracted $400 million in investments, U.S. law enforcement officials said. Nicholas Cosmo, head of Agape World Inc on New York's Long Island, was said to provide commercial bridge loans, but was instead operating a traditional Ponzi scheme in which early investors are paid with the money of new clients, officials said. "Nicholas Cosmo took the advice of an attorney and complied with an arrest warrant," said Al Weissmann, spokesman for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, which is...

When it comes to sex, tech and teens don't make the best bedfellows. As tech-savvy teens become increasingly fluent with new technology, from social networking sites to tricked-out new cell phones, research finds the negative consequences stacking up. According to the results of a survey released today by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and CosmoGirl.com, 22 percent of all teen girls — and 11 percent of teen girls ages 13-16 years old — say they have electronically sent, or posted online, nude or semi-nude images of themselves. And these racy images are also getting passed around:...

I made the deadly mistake of glancing through a "Cosmo" magazine yesterday ! Arrgh !!

Michael Richards exploded in anger as he performed at a famous L.A. comedy club last Friday, hurling racial epithets that left the crowd gasping, and TMZ has obtained exclusive video of the ugly incident.

For the hell of it... I'm conducting a survey. What was your favorite Seinfeld episode? I need a good laugh.
