Those Ungovernable Bad Boys

Ooops, I slipped again. It's been a week and I've written not a drop. It wasn't for lack of trying either - I've just been distracted by hot weather, online shopping and not-a-lot going on in the world.

Anyway, today's news is that:

The Bad Boy of Two and a Half Men, Charlie Sheen, proposed to his new girlfriend of 20 minutes, Brooke Mueller, on a beach in Costa Rica with a diamond as big as the budget deficit. The rock is reportedly worth $500K, enough to buy a few therapy sessions to discover why you still aren't quite over your ex-wife.

But let's not be too jaded, at least someone's gonna try to govern the ungovernable, which is more than can be said about today's other bad boy: Pakistan.

In a document titled, "Al-Qaida better positioned to strike the West," security analysts in Washington came to the conclusion that the US is under threat of attack by groups on the Afghan-Pakistan border. On the same day the report was leaked, John Kringen, who heads the CIA's analysis directorate, testified that:

"They seem to be fairly well settled into the safe haven and the ungoverned spaces of Pakistan."

Pakistan, you bad boy. What's it gonna take to whip you into shape? Denise Richards?
