Some will say that Taylor and John McCain grew up in that era, but they’re not that old.

For those still wondering, modern dictionaries define the word as “a frivolous, flighty, or excessively talkative person.”

Original post, 6:44 p.m, May 2: In light of Deborah Jeane Palfrey’s sad, sad passing, many people have been writing in to Big Head DC, privately asking whether we think Larry Sinclair, the man who claims to have used drugs with Sen. Barack Obama in 1999, would ever consider suicide. Considering the political, cultural and other dark forces that Sinclair continues to face everyday, who can really say for sure? After all, when we interviewed Palfrey just a few short months ago (and regularly talked to her all the way up until early April), she always seemed strong, defiant, resilient and said in no uncertain terms that she would never consider killing herself. Yesterday, according to police, she went back on that word, put a noose around her neck, and jumped. She told us many times over how much she loves her mom; that she allowed her mom to find her dangling and lifeless makes the situation all the more shocking.

A recent post on Sinclair’s blog may tell us more about the inner demons he struggles with better than we could ever get via a direct answer from his mouth at any particular point in time:

Today, I actually finally for the first time since all this started broke down crying and just wanted to bungee jump off the Blatknic Bridge without the bungee cord. You have to be crazy to stand up to power and money in this Country. There is no such thing as “liberty and justice for all” in the United States of America any more.

I am even starting to wonder why I ever thought it was important for the truth to be told about anyone seeking to be President of the United States. Whats the point? If Michelle Obama can sleep with a man that she knows is laying in bed and car seats with other men, and raise her children with that man, then what does it matter? What does it matter if Obama gets in the White-house and fires up a crack pipe?

I am signing off for the night. Maybe I will log back on tomorrow and maybe I will not.

Should Sinclair keep up his battle for what he believes is right? Or should he try to move on and make it to another tomorrow — a tomorrow that Palfrey will never see? Only time will tell.

The Clinton campaign told CNN the clip was “doctored” and an upset Kantor asked The Huffington Post to stop running the story because it helps to extend the libel. The video has since been removed and hidden on YouTube.

We’ll let you guess which candidate’s supporters were behind this blatant attempt to influence voters in hotly-contested Indiana.

By now you’ve heard about Barbara Walters‘ affair with Sen. Edward Brooke. Brooke, married and in his early 50s during the couple’s dalliances, hooked up with Walters multiple times in the 1970s. Walters is 10 years younger, and photos taken from the time period make the news a little less bizarre.

Oprah, we hear, is licking her chops over the exclusive tell-all Walters interview that will air Tuesday. Will it help revive the talk show’s struggling ratings or will it be another issue that upsets Oprah fans, who are increasingly seeing the diva in black and white?
