Relaxing in Battery Park City lawn on Saturday and reading the Indypendent, I was interested to note that escort agencies in NY are expecting this week to be a boom period. Ah yes. Right wing clients are the best. They always want the kinky shit and will pay through the nose for it. Maybe I should sent this saggy arse out to work, I thought as I was flooded with memories of hot Cuban gigolos after biting into a delicious guava pastry from Pan Latino. Yep, Republican men know that business is business. They pay the cash and then get the fuck out. No questions about whether you enjoyed it, cloying conversations about your life choice or pathetic offers of a “better future”.

The Indypendent is not, as advertised, “a canvas on which newsreaders decide for themselves which stories to highlight, images to portray, videos to project and ultimately which conclusions to draw.” It is opinionated jargon. They do have a few good potential stories – practical problems for protesters with fencing on marches, the possibility of postponing the election and some good quotes from Bush:

“God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam , which I did and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, if not the elections will come and I will have to focus on them”

To Abu Mazen, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister when they met in Aqaba, as reported in Haaretz

They don’t take these any further. They don’t report. It is all biased projection. It is, however, extremely entertaining.

“10 things that Republicans believe:

2. A woman can’t be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting everyone without regulation.”

Ah hilarious. I am thinking about subscribing.
