“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Who're the bigger criminals?

This is a PG-13 blog so I'll try to dance around this as best I can...

The plunging Dow Jones and panicky investors are hardly a problem for the world's oldest profession, where business is still brisk.

"The market is down, business is down, but we feel it less," said Dylan, 24, a promotional model-turned-Manhattan prostitute. "We're still busy."


Can somebody please tell me the difference between Wall Street hookers, and Wall Street mortgage-bankers? They both seduce you with the promise of...ahhem..."growth". They both charge you a fee for this service. And they both have made out like bandits while everybody else is scrambling to keep what they've saved. But that's about where the similarities end.

The government that you elected is propping up the Wall Street mortgage banking industry, yet the hookers have to compete in the market place like everybody else. You volunteer to have the hookers do the same thing that the Wall Street types are doing to you metaphorically. Hookers don't rob you blind. If hookers do their jobs as miserably and as incompetently as the mortgage bankers did theirs, they go to jail.....why aren't the bankers in jail?

If you ask me, prostitution is a much more honest way of making a living than mortgage banking.
