It's the eve of D-Cup Day. The groundwork has been laid: extra ads, more supervixen staff, full humidors, limos on call.
Now, the gentlemen's clubs and the restaurants where waitresses are hotter than the barbecued wings are waiting on the players in town for the Democratic National Convention.
The Republicans can claim to be the party of Lincoln; this is the party of Linkin Park. The big tent surely can accommodate Summer and Misti and The Men Who Tip Them Handsomely.
At Hooters, a long outlet pass away from the FleetCenter, manager Stephen Caruso anticipates a 50 percent boost in sales. The 6-year-old Friend Street hamburgers 'n' hotpants emporium will increase staffing 75 percent.

I used to take my little boy to that Hooters for burgers and dogs and fries, always got lots of attention from the waitresses, because he was such a cute kid. But I have to tell you, Boston ain't the place for good-looking women. The Hooters girls in Beantown couldn't even make the cut in Atlanta or Dallas or L.A.
I lived in San Francisco during a Democratic convention. Except around the convention center the town was dead as a doornail. Restaurants you needed to book a month in advance you could walk into and they stopped serving at 9PM.
"Am I the only one who sees a moral depravity in all this excitement..."
You are not alone.
Some of those democrats must think they are firemen, because they are looking for something to hose down.
Mr. Potter lives in spirit with the Democrat elite. Every town their tent goes up in becomes Pottersville.
Yet all the media coverage I have seen to this point is how NYC is flying in extra hookers from all over the world to satisfy the Republicans. As if they are the bigger offenders in this area. Well, I guess it's probably true, the democrats are more likely importing lots of 10 to 13 year-old boys to Boston.
Anyone remember an old Saturday Night Live sketch (broadcast May 20, 1978) showing a meeting of the Sodom chamber of commerce? They were discussing their new advertising campaign for their convention business. They wanted to show Sodom as a family-friendly city, but they also wanted to remind the viewer exactly why you have a convention in Sodom in the first place.
I don't remember that particular show but the concepts and writing certainly seemed much better on SNL back then.

Shouldn't that be,
Am I the only one who sees excitement in all this moral depravity ..." ?
I don't remember it but, if I did, don't think Boston really fits. The city's been cleaned up a lot since the days of the "Combat Zone" and is, IMHO, one of the better cities for tourists to take their families.
Or even North Carolina...
