Would love to be a fly on the wall seeing the copious high-fiving at Fox News. Should we presume that Roger Ailes (sp?) was his main advisor on this move?

More than when they planted Tony Snow in the WH?

All part of one big plan, I would bet.

Apparently someone even commented on the "fair and balanced" characterization:

search "fair and balanced," duh -- it's a long-ass transcript. Funny!

Wendell Goler, Fox News. He was complaining that Bush was going to let someone else ask a question. In yo' face, Fox News!

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

I always try to pay when I'm out with any woman, because I am sexist.

I am. Yay! And fwiw, I expect what will happen is that the check will come, I will offer to pay and he will say it's not necessary. On a first date, I wouldn't make a fuss and insist on paying or splitting it down the middle. It's tricky -- on the one hand, I would hate to be thought of as cheap, and again, I make more than he does (but we're almost even), but some guys take an insistence on splitting as an indication that the date didn't go well, and I wouldn't want to send that signal.

If the date's really, really working, the combination of alcohol and thinking about fucking should wash these concerns away, shouldn't it?

• 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.

Hmm, in the spirit of anti-biased bi-partisanship, where's the beef here? Isn't this just a lifestyle choice? He didn't lie about the proposition under oath, did he?

I propose to my fellow board members that in an pre-election year election year cycle, we should try to stick with substancive issues rather than validating the media's pre-occupation with consensual sex or the pursuit thereof.

Look at the nice bill he sponsored on lewd and lascivious behavior!

But for that bit of HypocRisy, who cares?

Does this mean no more Monica stuff?

In the spirit of bi-partisanship and understanding, perhaps his work on that failed legislation convinced him of the error of his ways and evolved his perspective; and perhaps he was celebrating such perspectorial evolution when the arrest went down.

To the extent that such stuff is irrelevant to the debate at hand, yes.

So to speak.

That's fine.

I believe such things are only relevant when the official involved has made a point of being holier than thou, sanctimonious, or self-righteous, and will limit my comments accordingly, assuming others can do the same.

What an apropos question, as I believe she is going on her first date since the breakup tonight!

Your "I like paying" in the prior post is kind of at odds with the tenor of the posts leading up to it. You like the prostitution model? You don't think any woman would fuck you purely for the pleasure of it, or have dinner with you because she enjoys your company? Pity.

I like paying on dates for the same reason I like buying drinks for friends. It makes me feel good to do something nice for other people.

I frankly don't care why they are fucking me, as long as they are fucking me.

Rule of thumb - just make the reach, don't insist. If you insist, he will think you're not into him.
