This is a good week for news, and it has just begun! 

A sex offender wins a charity raffle and you won’t believe who the charity was for:

A convicted sex offender won a $500,000 Alaska raffle that was a fundraiser for a nonprofit organization that helps victims of sexual abuse (Standing Together Against Rape, or STAR).

The state sex offender registry lists Ahsoak as convicted of two counts of sexual abuse of a minor in 1993 and one count in 2000.

Ahsoak says he plans to use the money to buy a home and to improve his life. He tells KTUU-TV he will donate $100,000 to STAR.

Prince Harry shows his true colors:

Britain’s Prince Harry apologized over the weekend after a newspaper released video footage of him calling an army colleague a "Paki" and telling another he looked like a "raghead."

The paper reported that Harry made the remarks in 2006 during a visit to Cyprus to carry out training exercises with fellow military cadets. In part of the video apparently filmed by Harry himself, he refers to one colleague as "our little paki friend" — using a derogatory term for people of Pakistani origin.

In a second video clip, Harry calls another cadet — who is wearing a headscarf — a "raghead." The newspaper said that the video was filmed by other cadets and supplied to the newspaper.

In Pakistan, many people reacted angrily to the report.

"Anything like this is unacceptable to us, even to anyone around the world. We have all the abilities to call the prince something or anything, and things about his father and mother, but we don’t do that because we believe that is wrong," said Mohammad Arslan, a 33-year-old technician in the capital, Islamabad.

Barkat Ali, a 46-year-old driver in Islamabad, said the comments were regrettable, and called on Pakistan’s government to seek an explanation from Harry and British leaders.

But Ibrar Ahmed, a schoolteacher in Multan, said most people had more important things to worry about. "Let’s be fair about it. Dogs may bark, but people go about their business," Ahmed said.

Oh, where to get married?  That is the question.  But…….

Customers inside the fast-food restaurant continued to order tacos and burritos as the couple sat Friday in an orange booth at Taco Bell and exchanged vows.

"It’s appropriate," groom Paul Brooks said. "It’s an offbeat relationship."

Employees displayed hot sauce packets labeled with the words "Will you marry me?" They decorated the restaurant with streamers and balloons.

The bride wore a $15 hot pink dress and the entire wedding cost about $200. Several dozen guests looked on as the couple’s friend, Ryan Green of Normal, administered the vows while wearing a T-shirt. He was ordained online.

Caragh Brooks, 21, of Australia, met Paul Brooks, 30, on an Internet dating Web site. They already had the same last name.

He proposed on New Year’s Eve and, because they like to spend time at the local Taco Bell, they decided to wed there.

President Bush didn’t mind toasting his own party:

President Bush says he refused to "bail out my political party" by withdrawing troops "during the darkest days of Iraq," a decision now lauded by his father in an unprecedented joint interview of both presidents by Brit Hume on "FOX News Sunday."

"During the darkest days of Iraq, people came to me and said, ‘You’re creating incredible political difficulties for us,’" the current president said as his term draws to a close. "And I said, ‘Oh, really? What do you suggest I do?’ And some suggested retreat, pull out of Iraq.

"But I had faith that freedom exists in people’s souls and therefore, if given a chance, democracy and Iraqi-style democracy could survive and work," the president said. "I didn’t compromise that principle for the sake of trying to, you know, bail out my political party."

"The biggest disappointment in the political process, that’s been this kind of bitterness by a few people to the point where they don’t want to have a logical discussion or a civil discussion about policy," he said. "They just want to tear you down."

But with the war in Iraq nearly won after years of setbacks, the younger Bush exudes serenity as he wraps up his two terms in the White House. "I’m better than fine — I am proud of the accomplishments of this administration," he said. "I know I gave it my all for eight years, and I did not sell my soul for the sake of popularity. And so when I get back home and look in the mirror, I will be proud of what I see."
