PW performs a public service for local citizens this week by distinguishing between the editor of The Stranger and Philadelphia's "newly installed" city councilman Dan Savage. The former is the guy who writes Savage Love and thinks drugs and prostitution should be legalized. The latter is a judge's son who has never been asked for advice on strap-ons, vaginal farts or uncircumcised penises. "What's he look like?" asks our Dan about the politician with an identical name. "Does he have a gut? He's out there representing me. I don't want him to have a big gut. He's got to do his crunches."
"We're trying very hard to make our downtown sidewalks pedestrian friendly, and too many of our sidewalks are obstructed by the newspaper boxes," city council member Angela Hunt tells the Dallas Morning News. The council may vote on the proposal as early as next month.
On Monday, a federal grand jury returned an 18-count indictment accusing three individuals -- including a woman named Ho -- of operating brothels in the Denver area. Court documents suggest the defendants drummed up business by purchasing ads in Westword. Several hundred miles east in Indianapolis, a woman was arrested this week on prostitution charges after an undercover officer responded to her ad in Nuvo that said, "For An Afternoon So Sweet to Treat, Call Candy." And last month in the nation's capital, the feds seized the assets of a woman accused of running a prostitution ring. According to court documents, the alleged madam spread her ad dollars among several local media outlets, including the Washington City Paper.
