Wow…September…has it really been that long? I really have to thank my good friend Jeremy (check his blog out at the link below) for keeping my name on his link list for so long in between posts…he’s either extremely loyal or unbelievably lazy…either way, here’s to you, Jer…

And now to the big news of the week: the Capitol Hill blogger Washingtonienne and the stunning realization that (gasp) rich politicians fuck young staffers, sometimes in very uncomfortable places (no, not the back of a Volkswagen).

Now I know what you’re saying, faithful reader (if you’re still alive out there): you’re saying “No, Ben, say it ain’t so!” Well, maybe its not. But it sure beats listening to the rest of the drivel coming out of Washington these days (for instance, please check out this article about House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who clearly hid from the Vietnam draft board in the back room at Arby’s, criticizing former POW and Vietnam vet John McCain on his commitment to sacrifice when it comes to war).

Check out the blog of DC insider Wonkette for more story developments…

And if all holds true to form, I’ll talk to you all again in November…
