In the United States, exploiting your mistakes is the quickest way to get rich. Spill hot coffee on your lap, and you're a multimillionaire. Eat too much or smoke too much, and wipe away your sorrows with some settlement money. Surely, no one appreciates this American device more than the bane of the The New York Times, Jayson Blair. He made a short career out of plagiarism, from being an admitted liar and a cheat. He has undermined the formerly stalwart reputation of arguably the best newspaper in the country, and of course, someone is willing to cut him a fat check to hear what he has to say. From this sorry deal we can take away one sad lesson: The truth doesn't matter.

It's Friday night and I'm going out with one of my dearest guy friends. I go to pick him up and he's still running around trying to get ready. Unaccustomed to such a situation in which a guy takes longer to get ready than I do, I mill around his place and poke at his stuff. I pass his closet bursting with clothes, some gym equipment, a couple of Maxim's, a 20-piece cologne collection and a shoe collection that rivals that Imelda Marcos. Knowing full well that my buddy is a strapping hetero, some of these items make me raise my eyebrows. After he sprays on some expensive cologne from his vast selection, we head out the door when he exclaims, "I can't believe I lost my Gucci sunglasses!" Did he just say the "G" word?
