Subject: Cheat Sheet - The Slut-Shaming of Monica
|  |   | |  |  |
May 07, 2014 | | SERIOUSLY FOLKS It's been 16 years since the affair heard around the world, but now Monica Lewinsky is back. What's ironic, says Emily Shire, is that we've all forgiven Bill Clinton, who is now a global political icon, and yet we can't seem to quit blaming his intern who writes in Vanity Fair that she still can't get a job or a date. TRAGEDY Islamist militants in Nigeria have struck again, kidnapping 11 more girls in the northeast. The radical group Boko Haram is kidnapping the girls as part of a campaign against female education and the Nigerian government. Meanwhile, in the capital city, President Goodluck Jonathan is facing massive protests for his weak response to the militants. The pressure on his government comes as Nigeria prepares to host the African meeting of the World Economic Forum, which was supposed to showcase Africa's largest economy. RUN For those looking for the dos and don'ts of being invaded by Vladimir Putin's military, just call up the republic of Georgia, says Eli Lake. In a wide-ranging interview with Georgian defense minister Iraki Alasania, Lake uncovers some of the best methods gleaned from Georgia's own experience in 2008—notably, hunt moles early, watch for non-governmental organizations, and seek out encrypted communications from the West. IDOL OR IDLE? Former reality-TV star and singer Clay Aiken is in a nail-biter: The results from his Democratic primary bid for a North Carolina congressional seat are too close to call. With all precincts reporting early Wednesday, Aiken leads textile entrepreneur Keith Crisco by 369 votes. Aiken got 40.8 percent of the vote to Crisco's 39.5 percent. The winner will take on incumbent Republican Renee Elmers come November. Moneybags You might not have never heard of it, but Alibaba, China's largest ecommerce company, could be larger than Facebook, Amazon.com, or eBay. In the biggest tech IPO since Twitter, Alibaba Group is seeking to raise $1 billion in an initial public offering filed Tuesday in the U.S. The company expects to raise $15 billion to $20 billion, and a share price could value the company at $200 billion—larger than most of America's top tech companies. Alibaba is considered by investors as the best prospect for tapping into China's massive growth. | |
