    @spiegel

    Firstly, I am no confederate of tom, but your defence of the johns of prostitution, as if they are sympathetic victims, rings about as true as a defence attorney's opening argument in the trial of a nine-time DUIer--really, the john is the victim?

    Anyway, while I am a fan of "I like to watch," Heather, I am getting off the trolly if next week's column has more reality tv shit. If you persist in writing about it every week, post-strike, then you are not up above it--you are down in it. As funny as you are, and I like your writing and perspective a great deal, it is getting old. I now think there is no excuse anymore. I am really uncomfortable feeling like I am on tomreed's side. gross.
