I’m not entirely sure why, but this whole “blogger having an affair with South Carolina gubernatorial candidate” story is giving me a good chuckle. Today’s lesson: how to get a good scoop via texts and social media.

Not to toot my own horn, but I have my master’s in journalism. I was a reporter for more than three years while in grad school and afterwards. I’ve covered Congress. I’ve won awards (ok, I’m tooting my own horn a little), and I would NEVER…EVER…send the following text message:

Quote of the Day

This kid is going places. Like jail.

Poor Ivanka.

“Basically I was sending some twitters and emails dude. I just got charged for stalking. Some internet bullshit. I just wrote her, I said, ‘I want to marry you.’ I said, ‘Celebrity Apprentice sucks.’ I think thats what may have done it. You know what I mean? Because I said her show sucks, that’s probably why I got arrested. I feel like she’s too uptight at this point. I can’t be with a woman that anal. Is there any chance you can drop the charges, it’s really inconvenient at this point. I’m not gonna say that my life is going very ideally at the moment. It’s kind of a bit of a disaster, but I’ll see if I could turn things around. I didn’t picture being here, celebrity stalking, at 28, you know? That’s not what you dream of as a kid. I figured I’d be big-time money, running the city, dude. Just chalk it up as a bad year. I’m not even stalking anymore, stalking’s an old thing, dude. I’m thinking of getting into jewel theft.” — Justin Massler, aka Ivanka Trump’s stalker (via nymag.com)

Ahhh, Ambition

The greatest thing about life is the ability to make your dreams, both big and small, come true. And if your dream is to paddle an inflatable bouncy castle across Lake Garda in Italy, then do it up my friend.

According to National Geographic, three young British men recently made this dream a reality, recording the feat for Live Every Litre, a documentary-like Web site following people as they live out their aspirations all over the world. Pretty cool. But the best thing about this whole endeavor may be a quote from bouncy-castle enthusiast Chris Hayes to NG:
