Baiting the Hook for Sen Craig

Yes, good column Debra and cogent commentary Chris. Yes, Craig should resign. But I still want to know why there was a cop sitting on the John, waiting for a John in an airport toilet? It is one thing to bust people for soliciting or having sex in public and quite another to be baiting the hook. Master baiters though they certainly must be, is this a job that makes a cop proud at the end of the day?

As I posited in my piece of yesterday, the cop doesn’t just sit and wait. There are signs and signals, bids and offers—indications of what one is looking for on the menu. My theory that show tunes and code songs are frequently employed, turns out to be pretty good.

In doing research for this response, I discovered that there is actually a web site that lists public areas and preferred restrooms across this great land of ours. It also lists in individual signs and counter signs by location. Though certain behaviors are universal—long held eye contact and “showing the merchandise” and having the other person look—some are regional. Complicated life. Sad and lonely way to live.
