  Photo by joeltellingUS District Judge Samuel Kent, who's going to prison for his role in drunkenly forcing his charming self on helpless female employees, has finally seen the light when it comes to his idiotic attempt to keep collecting his healthy federal pension.Kent faced impeachment in the Congress, as outraged members of Congress, none of whom have ever drunkenly groped anyone, were determined to force him out of office in a such a way to deny him his $147,000 annual salary and any pension

• Who Would You Rather?

  So the other night my dear friend Tamarie and I spent too long on the phone engaged in a game called Who Would You Rather? You know, that classic girl game of who you would rather sleep with. The problem was that Tamarie was high on prescription cough syrup, and I'd had a couple of G&Ts, so the conversation was a little odd. Me: Mattress Mac or Marvin Zindler? Tamarie: Marvin Zindler alive? Me: Of course! Tamarie: Very old or just old? Me: Just old. Tamarie: Mattress Mac.

• What We Missed Because Of Judge Kent's Plea Deal

  About the only time Judge Samuel Kent's courtroom behavior was not booming or sarcastic or cruel was yesterday, when he barely whispered "guilty" to charges of obstruction of justice.He made the plea in order to escape a trial on charges of sexual harassment of his female employees, but in doing so he deprived Houston of what promised to be a very entertaining trial.What did we miss?1. Rusty Hardin vs. Dick De Guerin. Technically this wouldn't have been a head-to-head matchup, as federal prosecu
