By reading the newspapers and blogs I'm learning a lot that I didn't know about what to do and not do in public men's rooms. First, reading about Stings in Minneapolis I learned not to have a "wide stance." Now from a Florida sting I learned that I need to oil my zipper so that it is not loud.

Speaking of the Florida sting, a candidate for mayor was arrested, apparently for having a loud zipper. The report didn't identify his party affiliation, so he must be a Democrat. Actually, if he is a Democrat, it won't hurt his chances according to Saul Alinsky's rule #4. That says you should use peoples own rules and standards against them. This means that sex scandals harm Republicans but not Democrats, since Democrats have no standards regarding sex. For example Republican Mark Foley was shamed out of office because he sent inappropriate emails to pages. Gary Studds, a Democrat, had sex with underage pages in Washington DC, but remained in office, and was lionized by Democrats. Barney Frank lived with a gay prostitute, but no one cared. A very drunk Ted Kennedy has been observed having sex on a table in a bar, but who cares. He's a Kennedy. Everyone knows those guys are alcoholics and sex addicts, so what. Republicans Livingson and Gingrich had to leave office because they had relatively discreet affairs. They were judged to be hypocrites for pushing charges Bill Clinton had an affair with an intern in his office, a clear case of sexual harrassment that is illegal. So, there is a double standard simply because Democrats have no standards.
