    Bill Bennett and I Just Don't Get It

    Conversations like this always make me feel like Bill Bennett in a skirt, but even if you're the highest-paid hooker in history—and lucky enough not to wind up getting beaten anyway—prostitution and self-respect still seem mutually exclusive to me. Because ideally, at least, isn't sex "somehow sacred"? And speaking of daughters, if any girl of ours grew up and announced, "Hey, I've found high-paying work doing what for some women could be considered a smart career choice!' could we even conceivably be fine with that? OK, time for me to toddle off to the casino now.
