Porn v. Prostituition

Eliot Spitzer scandal is the in thing now - (why are we so fascinated with the story?). It is a tragedy that he was pursuing his fellow rich, ruling class on Wall Street and this brought him down. Kind of reminds me how Al Capone was brought down.

Since he was on a campaign I think it would have been more devastating if he was charged with something like money laundering or even being on the payslip of the New York mob.

It did not have to be what he is putting his wife and family through.

An article in Slate wonders why it is illegal to pay for sex while porn is legal. I mean the industry is very well paying (that's what I'm told!) but if you pick one of the street girls you could face the full force of the law.

Ms. Dupre is in some sort of trouble yet as expected some top shelf magazines want her to pose for some outrageous figure. Confusing to the simple minds like me - on the one hand she is trouble for

$4,000 for her services! no wonder NY is considered an expensive city if that is the going rate the president should do something about the economy there! (It is a joke!). I have seen the bills some of the monied splash here in London for just an afternoon out.

Have a less than scandalous weekend - keep safe.
