If the economic news is too depressing, don't fret: A Salvadoran by the name of Ingmar Guandique is said to be close to being arrested in the Chandra Levy murder case from 2001. He is already doing time in California for a couple of rapes.

You remember the Levy case, don't you? During the summer of 2001, this was THE big story in the tabloid media and cable channels. The ONLY reason it was anything other than the routine killing it was had to do with Levy's relationship with former congressman Gary Condit of California. Thanks to her distraught parents fanning the media-induced flames, it was Condit who supposedly had something to do with her disappearance and murder, despite the fact he had nothing to do with either. It didn't matter, for what counted was the fact a conservative Democrat was supposedly involved with her, and it was time to take him down. It was 24/7 Condit/Levy until the 9/11 attacks buried it into irrelevance.

Condit's career and life were ruined simply because he wasn't the world's greatest husband, but that didn't matter to the vultures in the media.
