Not This Time, Buster

Larry Miller | Posted March 14, 2008 | Entertainment

First of all, isn't five thousand dollars a lot for sex? No, really. That's the first thing I thought.

I may not be a porn star with hour-long stamina and foot-long -- well, stamina, but five grand is, come on, a vacation somewhere, or a good used car, or a...

Huffington Post | Rachel Sklar | March 14, 2008 04:37 PM

I've done pretty well with my media predictions on L'Affaire Eliot Spitzer, but I completely missed one huge and very newsworthy area: The true-life stories of onetime sex-workers, women (and, presumably, men) who can explain the, er, ins and outs...

What The Hell Is Amie Street Music? And What Does Eliot Spitzer's Taste In High-End Hookers Have To Do With It?

Efe Cakarel and Daniel Debow | Posted March 14, 2008 | Business

Spitzer's Fiscal Irresponsibility

David Sax | Posted March 14, 2008 | Business

It wasn't yesterday's contrived, meaningless apology that was the worst. No, that was expected.

Wow — it's amazing what 24 hours of solid digging will do, especially when you're the media and your target is a not-camera-shy aspiring singer with a MySpace page, online music profile and evidently, co-operative classmates with yearbooks and old...

Tom Alderman | Posted March 13, 2008 | Media

Thanks goodness for SpitzerFest. Yes, it's a tragedy on so many personal and societal levels -- but isn't it one of life's ironies that there are always folks who benefit from misfortune?
