Stunned wife!

1 Oh, well, one has to hand it to the guy, he kept up the pretense for many years. And, one of the few times he let down his guard, he was caught. It's the Internet again. The stunned wife has taken off. Her friends are rallying behind her, so hopefully she will bounce back to her normal, effervescent personality.

How come?

2 Everyone is asking how come not one Asian businessman was taken on that trip? Another case of narrow thinking and missed opportunity?

Real PhD?

3 Another 'PhD' on the loose - the credentials were paid for and the document was duly signed, sealed and delivered.

No turning back!

4 Here we come! Doesn't matter what the skeptics think, the die has been cast ...who needs to know anything about foreign policy? One just has to continue to wing it and depend on influential friends to open doors.

5 Word on the street is that some influential deportees are forming themselves into a lobby group as they try to call in favours from those in high places.

ASAFA THE CHAUFFEUR

Oh to be sweet 16 and have one of the world's fastest men be your chauffeur!
