Well ... I am just SHOCKED.


If, you know, by shocked, I actually mean not even close. Via ThinkProgress we have the following hilarity:

Sex workers get ‘more business’ at GOP conventions.
This summer’s political conventions are expected to be “a boom in business” for “the sex and adult entertainment industries,” but according to one veteran sex worker who spoke to the Rocky Mountain News, the GOP conventions are “a lot better for the sex workers.” “We get a lot more business,” Carol Leigh told the paper. “I don’t know if they’re just frustrated because of the family values agenda.”

I wonder if the airport bathrooms will start seeing more traffic.

You know... I understand the desire to have illicit, no holds barred, wild monkey lovins just like our apish ancestors did.

What I don't get is two fold.

1. Why live in shame and secrecy and constant pangs for wild monkey lovin's only to visit whores and other forms of evil monkey lovin' style entertainment when you go on about your soul and god and how evil it is and all that sort of nonsense. You end up living a life of frustration, anger and above all lies. Then you still die, unfulfilled without any real assurance that your freaky cult beliefs are actually what you'll see in the afterlife. So you could live your entire life denying yourself every living pleasure and find out Oops! The Muslims/Atheists/Wiccas/Taoists were right! Alternatively you could damn yourself to an eternity in hellfire and yadda yadda because you decided on dallying on your spouse with some hooker or random bathroom goer. So you pretty much end up in the same place, but wild monkey sex is way more fun.

2. Why the hell would anyone troll for sex in a bathroom. EUCK! Especially a senator! Not like you guys don't make enough money to pay for gay prostitutes. Hell you could probably have one on retainer ready for a deposit at any hour, day or night.

Those attending the GOP conventions look like Fred "I'm not dead yet" Thompson and Rudy "Skelator" 9ui11ani and the women look like Kathy Shaidle or are poisonous hate-filled shrieking harpies like Ann Coulter or Pamtoons of Atlas Shrugged. Our office was sent a calendar by the Heritage Foundation with a group photo of their interns and they are equally divided between smirking fat frat brats, dweeby George Will-wannabes and kids who look like they were best know for eating paste in grade school. There were only a handful of women, some of whom by their Amish-like attire were clearly sent from some bible college and others by the psycho glint in their eye seemed to gunning to be the next Rachel Marsden or Ann Coulter.

Now look at a picture of a Democratic rally. Notice all the young, self-confident, rational people there cheering for Clinton or Obama? I expect I'll get gutted like a trout for saying this, but one of the fringe benefits of feminism for men is the emergence of women who realize it is okay to enjoy sex, and who are willing to have sex for purposes other than reproduction. Smart, independent, opinionated, liberal women are teh hawt! Elderly, frumpish church ladies and Stepford wannabes ---not so much.
