5. Where are OUR reporters? The link is there, someone interview her

"A source claiming first-hand information now reports that Casino Bill's other vice runs to the exotic -- liasons with a very buff Las Vegas dominatrix. According to our source, national-press reporters have interviewed the "beautiful domme muse mistress," but have been reluctant to publish the story to date."

She certainly has enough class. I wish they'd develop the Lady Heather story more. That was cool. B-)

Ohhh, they could do an episode of some really famous conservative politician getting whacked at Lady Heather's.

14. Send the story around!

If anybody prints it, everyone else will pick it up. Send to Larry Flynt, the Enquirer, Star, etc. Maybe Buzzflash could interview her?

16. Bennett never said S&M was wrong

so he's not a hypocrite. :-)

[supernova]

17. HAHA

True.

But, you know GOPers are not supposed to have sex, much less engage those unspeakable baser instincts. ;-)

18. not at all!

He's a fan of corporal punishment:

More currently, William Bennett, our former Secretary of Education, in his introduction to Children at Risk (Dobson & Bauer, 1990, p. xvii), says he has "long admired Jim Dobson. Few Americans have done more to get all of us to 'focus on the family'." Dobson, a popular Christian Right psychologist, has sold over two million copies of his 1970 book Dare to Discipline (Gaddy, Hall, & Marzano, 1996). In that book, Bennett's esteemed colleague advises that "pain is a marvelous purifier" and that parents ought to use spankings to control their children's willfulness and rebelliousness (Dobson, 1970). Although claiming to be a psychologist, Dobson has not distinguished well between physical punishment and punishment resulting from response cost or time-out, methods of punishment for children that are more compatible with the beliefs held by most educational psychologists. In another of his books that sold over one million copies, The Strong-Willed Child (1985), Dobson says:

If punishment doesn't influence human behavior, then why is the issuance of speeding citations by police so effective . . . ? Why, then, do homeowners rush to get their tax payments in the mail to avoid a 6 percent penalty for being late? If punishment has no power then why does a well-deserved spanking often turn a sullen little trouble maker into a sweet and loving angel? (p. 38) In that same book he writes, "Should a spanking hurt? Yes.... a small amount of pain for a young child goes a long way" (p. 53).


It sure does. Mr. Bennett is probably re-enacting his fondest childhood memories.

My god, that book is kinky. Here's more:

And for those parents who cannot think of how to administer pain to a child, he has advice: "There is a muscle, lying snugly against the base of the neck. Anatomy books list it as the trapezious muscle, and when firmly squeezed, it sends little messages to the brain saying, 'This hurts; avoid reoccurrence at all costs' " (p. 138).

19. Dare to Discipline!

a well-deserved spanking often turn a sullen little trouble maker into a sweet and loving angel
