Never mind. Hester leaves her marriage for Freddie.

In speaking to @placeholder's pre-eminent Catholic university, it was as if the President was speaking to American Catholics everywhere. | (CNN) -- It was the 2013 Politifact "Lie of the Year," our president's now infamous line: "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it." Now all Americans are realizing what Catholics have known from the beginning: President Barack Obama is a master of deception. Lest people forget, passage of the Affordable Care Act happened in part because Obama struck a deal with a single Catholic holdout: Bart Stupak, D-Michigan. Stupak agreed to vote for the bill in exchange for an executive order protecting conscience rights and preserving the Hyde Amendment's ban on the use of federal funds for abortion. Stupak had insisted on an amendment. Instead, he took the President's word.

Consequently, the full cost to the @placeholder economy is likely even higher than the numbers listed here. | (CNN) -- By July 20, a historic deal may be reached to resolve the Iranian nuclear standoff. The choice America will face at that point is whether to lift sanctions on Iran in order to extract valuable and irreversible nuclear concessions from Tehran. Any debate over whether to exchange sanctions for limitations to Iran's nuclear program, however, would be incomplete at best and misleading at worst if it does not address the cost of this policy. Surprisingly, the U.S. government has not conducted any study to assess the cost of its two decades-long policy of sanctioning Iran. According to our study, based on an econometric gravity model that commonly is used to measure trade patterns, the United States is by far the biggest loser of all nations enforcing sanctions on Iran. From 1995 to 2012, the U.S. sacrificed between $134.7 and $175.3 billion in potential export revenue to Iran.

Cars with @placeholder's supporters could be seen hooting and some ZANU-PF supporters sang Mugabe's praises. | CHINHOYI, Zimbabwe (CNN) -- Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe was celebrating his 85th birthday with a lavish all-day party Saturday despite the fact that the country is gripped by an economic and health crisis. President Robert Mugabe and his wife, Grace, attend a cake-cutting ceremony for his birthday Saturday. Mugabe's ZANU-PF party said it raised at least $250,000 to hold the party in Mugabe's hometown of Chinhoyi, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) outside of the capital, Harare. Critics of the president say the country is desperate for that amount of money to be spent instead on its citizens, who are suffering from a cholera outbreak, food shortages, and spiraling hyperinflation. On Friday, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai visited a hospital's closed intensive care unit that he said needed $30,000 to resume operating.

However, he did say that "different types of support can be given, not just military, and @placeholder's options are open." | (CNN) -- Somalia's transitional government has the right to request military help from its neighbors against armed militants, the African Union said Monday, but Kenya was quick to reject the idea of sending troops and suggested the AU should spearhead such a move. Islamist insurgents patrol part of Mogadishu during clashes with government forces. Somali parliament speaker Sheikh Adan Madowe on Saturday called on Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Yemen to send in their military forces to help government troops stop hardline Islamist militants from taking over. "Militants are wrestling the power from the government and so we call for military help from neighboring countries," the speaker said at a news conference in Mogadishu. "Please send your military to help in 24 hours' time."

'I said to My @placeholder "If you fail to provide a sample you'll be arrested, are you refusing to provide a sample?" | 'Drink driving': Guy Pelly, pictured today outside court, denied driving his black Audi TT while over the legal limit A close friend of Prince William has claimed a drink driving charge against him could be invalid because of malfunctions in a police breathalyser machine. Guy Pelly, 32, was pulled over in his £90,000 black Audio R8 last year, and tests found that he was significantly over the legal alcohol limit. He is currently standing trial in Westminster Magistrates' Court, which heard today that a reading showed the proportion of alcohol in Mr Pelly's breath was 52 microgrammes in 100 millilitres of breath.

If India win the toss on Thursday and bat first, @placeholder’s new-ball attack may begin to wonder whether this five-match series will ever end. | By Lawrence Booth Follow @@the_topspin England coach Peter Moores has urged Alastair Cook to ‘stay strong’ as he tries to bat his way out of the worst drought of his 105-Test career.

In an energetic speech to workers at a Holland, Michigan, hybrid car battery plant helped by government stimulus funds, Obama said the U.S. economy and American workers are capable of being the best in the world, but were being held back by political stalemate in Congress.

Bombers struck voters who had just cast their ballots as well as candidates and their supporters, and a gunfight broke out at a polling station.

Skinner had been scheduled to die by lethal injection Wednesday evening for the New Year's Eve 1993 killings of his live-in girlfriend, Twila Busby, and her two adult sons in the Texas Panhandle town of Pampa.

@placeholder, who took charge in September, is his brother-in-law. | (CNN) -- Thailand pulled back from the brink of chaos this week as anti-government protesters ended their occupation of Bangkok's two main airports after a court ousted Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat. Protesters say the current Thai government is a proxy for exiled former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. But political reshuffling means that the current crisis, merely the latest episode in an ongoing political saga that has undermined the stability of the southeast Asian nation, is set to continue. What's the background to Thailand's political crisis? The latest unrest, which has seen anti-government protesters occupy Bangkok's international airport, dates back to the controversial premiership of Thaksin Shinawatra. A multibillionaire media tycoon, Thaksin was elected in 2001 on a populist platform that promised universal healthcare and cash handouts to poor villagers.

Jose Mourinho (left) and @placeholder ruined Liverpool's title dream last season in a spiky encounter | Chelsea return to Anfield on Saturday seven months after wrecking the Kop's title dream, with Jose Mourinho's players promising a lesson in how to handle the pressure of title race. A prickly media exchange between Mourinho and Brendan Rodgers, friends and colleagues turned foes, followed the clash last April when the Liverpool boss accused the Londoners of 'parking two buses' and said it was 'not difficult' to coach a team to defend in numbers. Rodgers eventually sent a conciliatory message to his former mentor, but he must have been bruised by the defeat. Perhaps, in some ways, his team are still feeling the effects. They have won only seven of 18 since.

Leading the way: @placeholder is expected to start up front for Spain during the World Cup | By Dermot Corrigan Chelsea fans might doubt whether Fernando Torres will have much of an impact on the coming World Cup. But the Spain centre-forward has made a habit over recent years - at international level at least - of proving his critics wrong. When Atletico Madrid’s Diego Costa was declared fit to make the final 23 man squad it seemed likely that Torres, who is also now set to be replaced by Costa at club level, would miss out on Brazil. The now 30 year old was however included – and now travels to try and win his fourth consecutive international tournament.
