With this Eliot Spitzer “Client-9” scandal raging, now seems like the perfect time to reminisce about all the other sexually-charged (so many puns intended) political scandals that have swept our great nation over the last few decades.

Online general interest magazine Slatehas put together a wondrous interactive map of our nation’s capital called “The Map of Shame: A Guided Tour of Washington’s Sex-Scandal Locales.”

Journey with us as we explore the Mayflower Hotel, where Governor Spitzer paid a prostitute named Kristen to do things that “you might not think were safe”–at least not according to one as-yet-unnamed FBI witness.

A mere hop, skip and a jump will take us to the site of the greatest of all government sex scandals: the White House. Former President Bill Clinton, a blue dress and his now entirely public affair with Monica Lewinsky can be remembered here outside of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (yeah, that’s the President’s address).

We then travel to the 2600 block of Adams Mill Road in Northwest where we remember each and every time Gary Condit denied ever having had an affair with his intern, Chandra Levy.

Slate’s tour doesn’t end there. The map will take you to all the corners of the city, from the Northeast section where Ted Kennedy got up close and personal with some waitresses at La Braisserie to Southeast’s 6th Street where Gary Hart’s chances of becoming president were slain when proof of his extramarital activities came to light.

This map is by far the most titillating experience I have ever had with geography. To do some exploring of your own, head over to Slate now.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
