I heard the prostitution ring was all Michael Keaton's idea.

I'm a little confused as to why you'd bother paying for sex when you could just go up the escalator and into the Front Page and get it for free. Also, I have never seen a Metro employee I wanted to have sex with. Never.

"Norton has expressed concern that the department treated the fired recruits unfairly..." Even though they did not pass a background check ... i.e. convicted fellons, et al. Glad to see she's looking after these fools and not the educational scholarships or other items that directly affect her constituents. What ... were all the officers effected Shiloh attendees?

"Someone runs a sex ring out of a metro station and they only get put on administrative leave?! I am clearly working in the wrong business." Yes, because firing her based solely on allegations of misconduct would be a *great* way to avoid an unfair termination lawsuit.

Female hookers and Dupont Circle go together like fish and bicycles. You're doing it wrong!

Hm, one of the reasons Monkey and I left DC-proper was because he couldn't display his arsenal of Airsoft rifles. This changes things...

Goins told the officer she would have sex with him for $200, and the two agreed to meet in the officer's hotel room later in the week, after Goins grabbed his crotch and made several references to sexual acts she wanted to perform with him, records show. What, exactly, was illegal here? Change the offer from $200 in cash to "Dinner and drinks" or free wings at Happy Hour and a couple of Miller Lites for the youngsters and this is happening in office buildings all over DC right now.

Has anyone ever seen a Metro employee that they wanted to schtupp, let alone pay for the privilege? Most of the Metro managers I've seen have been the surly, bitter, disgruntled middle aged sort. Is there some sort of fetish for middle management bureaucrats or something?

..they found fliers advertising sex trips.. Man, I'm ashamed to say that none of my metro rides have been sex trips. I think I have a discrimination suit here. And speaking of sketcky deals, whats doing with the photo above? Are these gentlemen buying Rap Snacks? Andy Capp's Hot Fries? Or, less addictive and likely less harmful, just your garden variety drug buy?

Expect NE, SE and SW to light up in a blaze of blood-letting now guns have a green light. Blacks are going to be slaughtering each other left, right and center. More so.

Haven't seen opinion yet, but this just in on Supreme Court blog..... Answering a 127-year old constitutional question, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to have a gun, at least in one’s home. The Court, splitting 5-4, struck down a District of Columbia ban on handguns.

So how did that work out when they were broadcasting their little sex adverts on the loudspeakers? I mean, did they just out and say, "Knobslobbin in the back office" or were they a little more subtle about it? Did they use some kinda Navajo pimp codetalker jargon like, "Ho on the first flo' fo shizzle, my brizzle?" Because, as any grocery store bagger will tell you, when the loudspeaker says, "Cleanup on aisle 6," it's code for "Teabagging on the loading dock."

"Would you pay $50 for Candy bar, or $100 for a Hamburger???? I would not!!, how bout $25 for a handy and $50 for a BJ???... intrested? see your nearest station manager for details."

I would have loved to have been in the station for that. "Customers traveling on the Red Line expect minor delays from an earlier train problem that has been resolved. ... Station manager Waters, your threesome is waiting for you by the back door."

Metro Worker Sex Sting I had this once. Penicillin cleans it right up. But for a couple of weeks there, I had some "track fires" on my "Yellow Line" if you know what I mean and I'm sure you wish you didn't. Just goes to show that people need to practice safe commuting. Because when you "ride the subway," you're riding with everyone who's ever ridden that subway.

"Police first became suspicious of the station manager, Sharon Waters, after they found fliers advertising sex trips with Waters' name, email and phone number printed on them." Wow, we've got some god-damn Sherlock Holmeses on the case, don't we. You forgot to mention that the police's suspicions were confirmed when they noticed the 10 foot tall neon sign outside Dupont North that said "Hey, we've got whores here, if you're interested."

My favorite part of the story is this, "At one point the employees used the Metro loudspeaker system to facilitate an illicit sexual arrangement, according to police who arrested the pair last week." Damn, why wasn't I in the Dupont station during that?

Sigh. Metro workers didn't get the memo: It's Metro Opens Doors! Not Metro Gets You Whores.
