seriously Republicans aren't for regulating industry
At a time of a major environmental disaster caused by industry Brent Bozell III manages to express concern that prostitutes hang out where men hang out and somehow it's industries fault! You wonder if Brent has ever gone to the Republican convention where... prostitutes tend to hang out. As far as I know the Republican party has done nothing to prevent this! OMG


The 2010 World Cup opens in South Africa in a few weeks. As a sports event, it is unrivaled in its popularity. It promises to bring a half-million soccer fans to that country. But it will also draw out the worst of the worst. The Christian Science Monitor reports that the economic promise of an expected half a million largely male incoming consumers is attracting a massive influx of prostitutes from across the border in Zimbabwe. Hotel managers are guessing that as many as 40,000 ladies of the evening are assembling from as far away as Hong Kong, Pakistan and Venezuela...What did FIFA, the organizing agency of the World Cup, have to say? The group's president, Joseph Blatter, responded to letters of protest by insisting he objected to any involuntary and illegal human trafficking, but washed his hands of the broader question. "FIFA, as a sporting organization responsible for competitive football, is not in a position to control what happens outside the perimeters of the stadiums; it has neither the power nor jurisdiction to do so...London is already preparing for a prostitution explosion during the 2012 Olympics, and just try to imagine what kind of spectacle will unfold in the partying capital of Rio de Janeiro in 2016."
