Presidential Draft Game
|
|
Barack Obama partisans are going to cry "foul!" because a professional major league pitcher (Curt Schilling) was allowed to compete in this cosmic baseball game. But, there is no rule, nor the contemplation of any rule, that would prohibit Schilling, a bona fide John McCain supporter, from competing. And, as it turned out, despite pitching nine innings, Schilling had no decision. This was a remarkable 17 inning game that reinforces the notion that the Washington Presidents are going to have a difficult decision about their next draft choice.

 Blanche Palfrey with Daughter Deborah Jeane Palfrey |
Deborah Jean Palfrey, 52, was discovered by her mother, Blanche, 76, hanging dead in a shed outside Blanche's home in Florida. Deborah Jeane had recently (April 15) been found guilty of several crimes associated with her ownership of Pamela Martin & Associates, an escort service operating in Washington DC.
Born in Pennsylvania on March 18, 1956, Deborah Jeane Palfrey attended high school in Pennsylvania and college in Florida. She worked as a paralegal in California. She began the escort agency, a vocation that would later earn her the moniker, "DC Madam" in 1993. Between 1993 and 2006, Palfrey's escort agency earned an estimated $2 million dollars. She received considerable public attention in 2007 when federal authorities seized her assets as part of an investigation that ended in her guilty convictions last month for money

Deborah Jeane Palfrey's fear of going back to prison is cited as a possible motive for her suicide. Others, more skeptical, believe Palfrey was silenced because of her involvement with high profile members of Washington, DC's elite political establishment. Customer's of the escort agency included a senator, a former under-secretary of state, and an influential military thinker in the Pentagon. Brandy Britton, a former escort associated with Palfrey's Pamela Martin agency, also hung herself to death, in February 2007, before she was scheduled to stand trial on four counts of prostitution.
The original group that nominated Ms. Palfrey is free to re-nominate her in 90 days. However, rumors coming from inside the Washington Presidents' front office suggest that the woman known as the "DC Madam" might replace Vice President Richard Cheney as the team's bench coach.
