Sargent Shriver

Robert Sargent Shriver Jr., 93, was diagnosed in 2003 with Alzheimer's disease, and it worsened in recent years to the point that he no longer recognizes his family. He ran for vice president with George McGovern on the 1972 Democratic ticket, and he helped found the Peace Corps and Head Start, the child development program. The couple had five children, including Maria, a former NBC news reporter married to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger; Mark, a former Maryland state legislator; and Tim, a physician who serves as chairman of the board for the Special Olympics.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver's sister Rosemary, born with mental retardation made worse by a surgical lobotomy, spent most of her adult life at a private institution in Wisconsin and died in 2005. Shriver devoted much of her energies to countering the social stigma once attached to mental disabilities. "If I (had) never met Rosemary, never known anything about handicapped children, how would I have ever found out? Because nobody accepted them anyplace," she told National Public Radio in 2007.

In 1956, she became executive vice president of the Joseph P. Kennedy Foundation, which helped fund Catholic organizations and those that benefited the mentally retarded. In 1962, she opened her Maryland estate to a summer camp for mentally retarded children. In July 1968, just weeks after Robert Kennedy was killed, about 1,000 people from 26 U.S. states and Canada participated in the first Special Olympics at Soldier Field in Chicago. Shriver persuaded Chicago officials to join with the Kennedy Foundation to sponsor it.

Baje Fletcher

Baje Fletcher is a Gold Digger. No, not the one in the Kanye West video — she’s the real thing. Most would remember this Brooklyn eye-turner from MTV’s reality hit Paris Hilton’s My New BFF as the no nonsense diva who couldn’t make the cut, but Baje is more than a reality rejection. Not one to shy away from the camera, this Jamaican queen has appeared in dozens of videos and sitcoms, all the while handling CEO duties for her talent agency Glitz and Glamour Models. Now adding author to her resume, Baje is on the cusp of releasing her controversial book, A Gold Digger’s Guide.

Baje Fletcher: She was what I expected. She was fun, open-minded and free-spirited. But, when the cameras are on she plays the ditsy role. When the cameras are off she is more real, which is what I liked more. Now, I know you’re a gold digger, but did you really want to be Paris’ best friend? Well, I’ve been modeling and acting for six years and I never watched [Paris Hilton’s] The Simple Life, so you can put two and two together. Well, me personally, I go after Princes, Sheiks, directors and producers.

There are no quick answers to that question. There are a bunch of strategies. Basically, you have to look the part –or act the part — for one. Plus, you have to be at the right places. And you have to know what to say to each man. You can’t use the same strategy. Most men do have one-track minds, but they do come in different kinds of species. Well, I’m a freelance writer on a Burger King budget. Can you be my Gold Digger?

Hillary Clinton Angry

Hillary Clinton got angry at a town hall meeting yesterday, although the Hillary Clinton angry moment wasn't at a health care town hall. Hillary Clinton wasHillary Clinton Angry Answer Highlights Congo Town Hall angry at a town hall in the Congo, as part of her current tour through Africa. The Hillary Clinton angry moment came during a question where someone wanted to know what Bill Clinton thought - not what Hilary thought. The question got Hillary Clinton angry, even though the actual question wasn't translated correctly. But Hillary Clinton's angry moment remains on the record.

In her town hall at the Congo, Hillary Clinton was supposedly asked what Bill Clinton thought about Chinese contracts in the United States. However, it was only discovered later that the question was mistranslated, and the actual question was about what President Obama thought, not President Clinton. Yet when Hillary Clinton thought the question was about her husband, she got angry and let everyone know that "My husband is not the secretary of state. I am." That much is true, but since the Hillary Clinton angry answer was completely unscripted, and since such spontaneous emotion is not associated with her, the answer has gotten a lot of press.

In her defense, the question that provoked her anger wasn't translated correctly. It does make more sense that the question would be about what President Obama thought, and perhaps Hillary should have known that. However, Bill Clinton has been back in the headlines after he helped get two journalists freed from North Korea, so perhaps it didn't seem strange at the time that they were asking what Bill thought.
