Wanted: A few good den mothers

Read for yourself. You can't make this stuff up. Well, you could, but it wouldn't be as hilarious.

Embarrassed by a prostitution scandal, the Secret Service will assign chaperones on some trips to enforce new rules of conduct that make clear that excessive drinking, entertaining foreigners in their hotel rooms and cavorting in disreputable establishments are no longer tolerated.

I can just imagine the copy for the classified section:

Wanted: Grown-ups prepared to travel all over the world and stay up late to baby-sit other grown-ups.

Secret Service agents are allowed to carry a weapon anywhere they go and are willing to take a bullet for the president. They go through extensive background checks and training. And now they're supposed to take along a CHAPERONE?! I can only hope this notion withers under a full gale of laughter and sarcasm. I can't wait to hear what the late-night comics have in store.

Looks like this really IS the Nanny State.
