Was it “Archie Bell and the Drell’s from Houston Texas” who posted “Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye”

Good riddance.

Next: I can think of a few federal prosecutors who deserve the same treatment, or worse...

Surely, you’re not talking about Sutton.

While I personally don’t think hiring strippers to perform at a frat party is a good choice, testosterone will win out. It will continue as long as there are women willing to peddle their flesh for men.

You cannot possibily lump women like Crystal Mangum with normal women with a moral compass. The boys don’t, that’s for sure. Treating women like “objects” is discredited by the woman’s own choices. Do you think they objectify their female classmates, girl friends, or family members? Why not call the young men racists for requesting white strippers while you’re at it.

I’ve read your blog. You have issues. Nice comments about Bobby Flay, btw...

“The Innocence Project” gave Steven Avery back to Wisconsin, who...the MINUTE he was out of prison, raped one woman (she didn’t press charges because he said he’s come back and kill her if she did) and raped and murdered another woman (Theresa Halbach) with the coercion of his 16 year old nephew...who is now also going to prison for a very long time.

I had not heard about this, thanks for the info.

'Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)' was by a fictional band named 'Steam'.

The songwriters, Gary DeCarlo, Paul Leka and Dale Frashuer were embarrassed that such a simple tune would hit #1 and no one wanted to take credit for it.

I’m hoping her silence is due to the fact she is facing a lawsuit. She deserves one. Her and this DA forgot to use the words “allegedly” and the concept of “assumed innocent”.

My heart is breaking.[sacracism] The sob should be put in state prison for a long time. No telling how many innocent individuals that could only afford a public defender he railroaded. One thing you can take to the bank id this was not his first rodeo.

“The sob should be put in state prison “

Here is a Federal statute that is surely being considered:

TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 13 > § 242

§ 242. Deprivation of rights under color of law

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both;............snipped

The country needs something like the innocence project, in theory at least and, in cases in which somebody gets freed on DNA evidence, there can't really be much to argue about.

Shame that Janet Reno is on the board of directors of the innocence project. That pretty much guarantees that Frank Fuster will die in prison for imaginary crimes.

Durham, N.C. -- “The captains of the team met this morning with President Brodhead, and expressed sincere regret over the lapse in judgment in having the party on March 13 which has caused so much anguish for the Duke community and shame to our families and ourselves.

Sorry. This is not good enough.

Look, stop saying those boys ever said they regretted hiring a stripper. They DID NOT!

Now, having said that, I suspect that perhaps one day they, or one of them, WILL say this. If nothing else, one of them will say it in the book surely one will write. It's law of books like this....you gotta have learned something.

But those boys have never publicly said they thought hiring a stripper to be a dumb thing or have their parents. I'm thinking their lawyers told them not to because...why give the prosecution ammunition? I myself think that they shouldn't say such a thing until Nifong et al are dealt with legally.

But you accomplish nothing to keep saying that they said it. They didn't. And I'm not the only one saying that it was dumb for them to hire strippers. I'd be drop dead ashamed of my son if he did such a thing. Further, you know what I'd say to my boy? I'd ask him how would he feel if his sister showed up to give the show?

I'd ask him if he'd sit right on down and hoot and holler with his sporting friends, if he'd join in as they'd shouted for her to "take it off".

And if I raised my boy right he'd feel really squirmy and icky at the thought of watching his sister strip in front of a bunch of hooting and hollering ball-bearing monkeys.

My boy should trust his instinct. Because that girl doesn't want to take off her clothes and be humiliated like that, she's somebody's sister, she's somebody's daughter, she might even be somebody's mother.

Sure I'll not stop women from stripping for men for money, I'll not stop women from spreading their legs for money. I'll always condemn it because...well I've said why.

Well what “issues” do I have with my Blog? That little line ...good God man I’ve got three year’s worth of content on that Blog. You read it all?

Well you’re the first one to make at least some sense. Cause you’re right. Testosterone will win out in MANY cases. I understand this.

I don’t buy your arguments and will always condemn it. I’ve told you why.

You can keep hiring strippers. Let the testerone rule your brain. You’ll be like many men.

It’s not illegal.

This is kind of the same argument the liberal education system uses when they demand we provide our youngsters with free condoms.

For they have no self control, they are under the demand of their hormones, right or wrong have nothing to do with it.

Good morning. I’m female, btw. I have checked out your blog on occasion.

I’ll try and combine answers to both your posts to me. Stripping is legal, so if you don’t like it perhaps you should spearhead an effort to outlaw the practice.

The public school system is a load of garbage, that we can agree on. It however does not have anything to do with the topic. Do you want men who are tame, or do you want men to be men? The men being discussed on this thread are/were college students, not husbands and fathers. It’s better for them to get it out of their system before they get married and have children. I have a 19 yr old son. As long as he doesn’t touch the actress with a ten foot pole, I wouldn’t care if he saw a stripper perform.

Well I totally disagree with how you’d handle your son. I’ve told you what I would do.

Beyond that....I understand about college students. Fathers and husbands do feel different about this.

I will always condemn it and on some level, perhaps it will stop some. Perhaps just some but I think we are a better society if we discourage the objectification of women.

How many times I gotta say this?

You may disagree. You may NOT change my opinion on the matter. You may NOT change the fact that I have a bit of disdain with how cavalierly you treat the matter, especially being a female. You MAY think I am a prude and unrealistic.

Fine.

“You MAY think I am a prude and unrealistic”

Actually, your extremely needy and insistent narcissism controls your actions. I am soooooo sorry that any of us on this thread ever responded to your clever pleas for attention. This is not the apology you attempt to demand, but then you know perfectly well that you are nothing to this case or its principals.

You are the perfect subject for “Eleanor Rigby”, because you surely keep your face in a jar by the door to put on when you go “out”......I’d say that it’d be better for you if you confined your act to your “blog”, but in terms of feedback it cannot possibly be gratifying for your malady. It’s really just a “Dear Diary”....(another song from england, LOL)

Get lost.

Ohhh it was a Jimmy Swaggart, tear jerking moment and COMPLETELY fake

Saturday's NYTimes put a picture of Nifong above the fold that is probably the best picture ever made of him. They must have gone through the tape frame by frame to make their selections. Below that is a picture of Seligman looking terrible while he was emotional on the stand. I hate the NYT. WRAL just shsowed that front page and said that they were the pictures being seen around the world.
