re: IM bored and figured y'all might entertain me

To alleviate your boredom, learn about the 1960s Profumo Affair. In which the British Minister of Defence and a Soviet spy were found to be sharing the same mistress. It caused the ruling government to collapse. One of the girls involved recently died.

As they say, British political scandals are usually about sex. In America they're usually about money.

And so it goes...
