• Only today, Florida state Representative Bob Allen (R), who is co-chairman of McCain's Florida campaign, was arrested in a Titusville park restroom on charges of solicitation after he approached a plain clothes police officer and offered to perform oral sex on the officer for $20.

About a month ago, and he made far less money than I do, and I paid for myself. The guy pays on the first date; after that it's more 50/50 or ability to pay. I guess that ability to pay for nice dates is one way to assess whether a guy is a good bet in terms of stability etc. but, hell, I'm never going to be a stay-at-home mom, so to me financial responsibility is more important than financial plenty.

Hot damn, you are an asshole aspirant.

I have had friends who have regarded dates with guys they weren't interested in as "free nice dinner" or who wouldn't "date a guy whose car isn't as nice as mine." To me, that's bullshit.

Okay, so one of the disqualifiers would be if someone got married because she or he desperately wanted to be married. First of all, that's hilarious as a legal standard. Second, WTF? Chick stays home, raises kids and puts hubby through law school and needs alimony to go back to school and stuff? Well, it turns out back then she desparately wanted to get married and raise kids, so she gets nothing, not even temporary alimony to go back to school. Anyhow, proposing a "wanted to get married and have kids desparately" standard is Aren't you a litigator? Jeesh.

As for disqualifying based on "marrying for any sort of economic gain", what happened to your being okay with a rich, fat, bald investment banker who marries a hot chick and he gets to have her "lie under him" and she gets his money? Rich fat bald guy should know enough to get a prenup. Fuck him.

Finally, about that friend who was "raked over the coals": don't assume he's a "prince" and that there isn't another side to the story.

1. You get married because you desperately want to be married, but don't love the person and you're an idiot. You deserve nothing. It's irrational.

If you get married to a person you don't love because you desperately want a kid, you're loathsome.

2. I didn't say I was ok with the fat bald guy using dough to get himself a hooker-wife. That's pathetic IMO. Call me a romantic. Or call me lucky enough not to be that fucking ugly and absent personality that I'd need to do that kind of pathetic shit. I agree with you - he should get a prenup. But the law should also fuck over golddiggers.

3. My friend is a prince. This isn't a two sided story. He got taken. Dicked. Hard.

It's almost becoming Pythonesque. Good. The sanctimonious fucks deserve it.

And God Bless Larry Flynt!

Though I think Moore's flick was lacking, his camp has had some clever comebacks to criticisms.

Repub candidate Mike Huckabee: "Frankly, Michael Moore is an example of why the health care system costs so much in this country. He clearly is one of the reasons that we have a very expensive system. I know that from my own personal experience," said Huckabee, who lost more than 110 pounds and became an avid runner after he was diagnosed with diabetes.

"I know how much more my health care cost when I didn't take care of myself than when I do take care of myself, not only in terms of doctor visits but regular diseases, illnesses, chronic things that come up, monthly prescription bills...All of those things have gone dramatically down since I've taken care of myself and worked to live a healthier lifestyle."

Producer of "Sicko":
"Looks like Mike Huckabee is auditioning for some insurance company dough, since he's raised just about no money and sparked zero interest since jumping into the race...I wonder what the good governor would say to the French, who drink more, smoke more, eat more cheese and still live longer than us despite paying less for health care?"

Huckabee: ""Let me ask you, have you ever met anybody when they were really sick say, 'Oh my gosh, I have a desperate disease. Get me to Havana, I've got to have the best health care in the world.'' Huckabee earlier told reporters that there should be a greater push toward insurance companies paying for preventive measures such as nutrition counseling and cancer screenings that would cut down on higher health costs in the future.

Sicko Producer: "No wonder the Republicans are in such trouble - their entire plan to fix the health care system in this country is to tell people to lose weight. Maybe if Mike Huckabee and his Republican friends stopped sucking up to health-insurance campaign contributors they wouldn't feel the need to blame Americans for this crisis. Just because he stopped eating Twinkies by the bushel doesn't make that an outline for a national health care plan. There's nothing worse than a reformed smoker - or Twinkie eater for that matter - preaching conversion."

Apparently, he sponsored legislation to address this issue , because Florida wasn't tough enough on people like him already.

Sounds like another Mark Foley wannabe. Where do you guys find all of them? Does Pat Robertson go to "those" online sites to recruit candidates for the Rs?

It sounds like a Florida problem. I'm suddenly worried about Jeb.

This is anecdotal, but when I went out with my ex-boyfriend, I paid 90% of the time. He makes about 1/4 of what I do. It would be ridiculous to expect him to pay.

It was pretty evenly split down the middle with my ex-boyfriend.
