The Spitzer Debacle

I didn't really care much about Eliot Spitzer soliciting prostitutes. But a couple of interesting things happened that piqued my interest.

First of all, I had no idea that he was the governor of New York. His name sounds like something out of a mobster movie and I thought he was some no-name senator or congressman from some Midwestern state.

Secondly, most hookers are ugly (or so I've heard). But then, I saw pictures of her, and damn. She's not bad. Maybe not worth $4,000/hour, but at least a thousand. Jay Leno joked last night that reporters were able to find her name, MySpace page, and pictures in a day and a half, but it's been 7 years and we still have no idea where Bin Laden is hiding.

So what happens to the girl? He's under prosecution and had to quit his job, but she gets major exposure and will probably be signed to a record deal? That's America for ya.

*NEWS FLASH* Men want hot women...

This is the kind of article you'd expect to find on theonion:

When given the choice for a mate, men go for good looks.

The men also appeared to be much less choosy. Men tended to select nearly every woman above a certain minimum attractiveness threshold.

I can't believe they do studies on stuff like this. No wonder we haven't cured cancer or AIDS or solved many of life's mysteries. All the money is going into proving stuff that most people already know...
