Washington DC Adult Entertainment: Steny Hoyer: hero of the Eric Massa episode

Steny Hoyer: hero of the Eric Massa episode
Sadly, Americans now aren’t that surprised when their elected officials behave badly. Such shenanigans as frequenting prostitutes, ignoring tax codes or dissembling to cover visits to mistresses has inured us to the misconduct of people who are supposed to do the public good. So, when a politician actually does the right thing, it’s occasion to take note. If not stand up and cheer.
Case in point is House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and his deft handling of complaints about former Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.). Hoyer is the one a top Massa aide took complaints to about the congressman’s conduct. Massa’s own accounts (apparently depending upon his mood) acknowledge inappropriate language, groping a male staffer and (I still can’t get over this) tickling to the point of breathlessness. Kudos to Ron Hikel, Massa’s former deputy chief of staff, for speaking up, and kudos to Hoyer for making clear that if Massa didn’t bring the matter to the House ethics committee, he would.

Washington DC Adult Entertainment: Alex Souvorov/Bel Cantanti Opera


Written on March 10, 2010 – 8:01 am | by larrylibido

While Kim’s powerful voice made Don José a perfect fit, Park worried that the character of Carmen was against her “nature. Growing up in South Korea, we are taught to be obedient and to serve,” she says with a sly laugh.
Once she became immersed in the character, however, she recalls feeling “Carmen’s freedom and sense of liberty. It was kind of nice being feisty, strong and beautiful.”
Souvorova has some very practical reasons for choosing “Carmen.” “With opera companies closing all the time,” she wanted to do “Carmen” because it is “familiar and people love it.”
Even individuals who have never been to an opera will be familiar with “Habanera” and “Escamillo,” often used in movies and even commercials.
And while Carmen’s story may seem tame by 21st century standards, “Carmen” was scandalous when it premiered at a family-friendly theater in Paris in 1875. Opera-goers were accustomed to hearing the stories of mythical figures or royalty, “not real people, including smugglers, prostitutes and the poor,” Souvorova points out.

Washington DC Massage Parlors: Cosmopolitan Politician


Written on March 10, 2010 – 2:24 am | by rubmedownthere

Many stories like Laurie’s are unfortunately not at all fictional. In 2003, The Guardian published a story about a mother who prostituted herself in order to pay for her daughter’s schooling, as well as several other women in similar situations. In 2006, the London Times reported that an estimated one in ten students attending a university knew someone who had at some point “stripped, lapdanced or worked at massage parlours and escort agencies to support themselves.” In 2008, ABC reported a rise in the rates of prostitution and drug trafficking among school children in Papua New Guinea in order to “pay school fees.” And last July, CBS’s Katie Couric told the stories of several college-attending American girls forced to turn to prostitution when economic circumstances ran their families into bankruptcy.

The Oregonian’s Joe Rose and Brad Schmidt told us today that the first year of the Westside Express Service, or WES, was a bust for ridership and that federal authorities questioned TriMet’s ridership estimates in seeking federal funds to build the $161 million dollar project. The story is generating a lot of comments at Oregonlive, as well as in the blogosphere, like this piece by the Cascade Policy Institute’s John A. Charles Jr.
Ever heard of “ply-on-foam?” The Daily Journal of Commerce has an interesting story about the invention, which is a plywood-Styrofoam form of wall construction, created by Green One Construction. The article says the material is being used in Washington County residential construction.
The Forest Grove News-Times tells us that Hillsboro lawmaker Chuck Riley is confounded by an apparent hacker who put a virtual strip club on a website affiliated with Riley.

Heroin Use On The Rise

Just last week, the FBI and Safe Streets Task Force raided two local strip clubs that were trafficking heroin. And the last three inmates to commit suicide at the Erie County Holding Center were addicted to heroin.

Weird & Weirder: Crist Accuses Fla. Senate Rival of Getting His Back Waxed

Tuesday Mar 9, 2010
Ah, Florida politics. The land of the swamp and the alligator has a storied tradition of corruption. (Anyone remember Joan Crawford as a prostitute who single-handedly cleans up the Legislature?)
In the latest twist in a campaign full of them, Gov. Charlie Crist has called his arch-rival, former Statehouse Speaker Marco Rubio a “fraud” for portraying himself as a fiscal conservative when he dared pay $130 for a haircut, “or maybe,” Crist added, “it was a back wax.”
Politico reported that Crist’s latest salvo came after reporters noted that Rubio used a credit card – paid for by the state’s GOP party.
“He’s trying to pawn himself off as a fiscal conservative,” Crist told Greta Van Susteren on Fox News. “And yet just in recent weeks, two weeks ago, it has come out in news accounts he had a Republican Party of Florida credit card that he charged $130 haircut, or maybe it was a back wax – we are not sure what all he got at that place.”

Scott Wykoff and Associated Press

It happened at Seneca Valley High School in Montgomery County.
The teacher also had the student removed from the classroom and taken to administrators.  Administrators said what the student was wearing was appropriate.
Navon Burris was wearing a t-shirt and leggings.
Navon says she is still embarrassed by what happened to her in school last week.
“Everybody was talking about it,” said the high school student.  “And they were like, yeah you were called a prostitute. I was kind of mad about it. I cried about it.”

Washington DC Adult Entertainment: Eric Massa Seems To Be Blaming Ouster From Congress On “Gay Entrapment” In …


Written on March 10, 2010 – 1:49 am | by larrylibido

Representative Barney Frank could have taken Massa aside and explained to him that, in 1990, he was investigated by the House Ethics Committee for his involvement with a male prostitute. That not only had Frank paid the man for sex, but hired him and housed him. The scandal blew up when the prostitute brought clients to Frank’s apartment without the Representative’s knowledge. The cantankerous Representative is still in Congress to this date and has been reelected many a time since 1990.

Washington DC Adult Entertainment: Did Baseball’s Best All-Time Pitcher Die Of Syphilis?


Written on March 10, 2010 – 1:49 am | by larrylibido

Radbourn succumbed at age 43 to
the agonies of untreated syphilis, a scourge of 19
century men who consorted with prostitutes.
It is not clear how the baseball great caught the deadly STD,
though Fifty Nine in ‘84 author Edward Achorn discovered
in his research that Radbourn’s wife, Carrie Stanhope, was first
married to a man who eventually died of the disease himself.
Carrie, who ran a dubious boarding house in a neighborhood of
brothels, later died of ailments that could be related to
the disease.
Fifty-Nine in ‘84, the
groundbreaking biography of ‘Old Hoss’ Radbourn, will be available in
bookstores on March 16.
You can Pre-Order Fifty-Nine in ‘84 below for Amazon’s
special price of $17.15.
