It's Fun to Say

Hooker is actually a fun word to say: HOOKER. Especially if you really annunciate the "rrrr" at the end.
I think it is a nice change to see the term used so loosely by journalists and BIG media corporations. Nothing says fun like hearing Katie Couric utter the word Hooker.

Sure the recent acts surrounding Eliot Spitzer are disgusting and disgraceful. More so in the fact that he really propelled into the Governorship of NY by putting the beat-down on white collar-crime in the early 2000's. Then, Spitzer, the AG of NY, was nothing less than integrity and values. He went on a rampage exposing the shady accounting practices of company's like Enron and AIG. He also exploited half of Wall Street for manipulative trading practices. Tisk-tisk.
Spitzer's actions were both good and bad. Good in the sense that it showed a high profile lawyer who cared. One with motivation accelerated by honest morales. Bad in the sense that it damaged the market. It put a small dent in the economy. Many jobs were lost with some of the companies he exposed. I was there. I was young in the markets but still felt its affects.

This post, however, is not supposed to be about Spitzer. It's about hookers. You know, I bet there are a lot of hookers saying, "Daaammmn I am really going about this the wrong way. I usually settle for Motel 6 and a hundred bucks."

Spitzer's lady-friend got a $2000 hotel suite and 4 Grand for one night. What's the going rate for male hookers?
