Sex Work Bleg: In the U.S. Which Parties Hire the Most Prostitutes and Other Sex Workers?

[To bleg: “A blog entry consisting of a request to the readers, such as for information or contributions. A portmanteau of ‘blog’ and ‘beg’. Also called ‘Lazyweb.’” This post includes a request for information from readers, preceded by an explanation of why I’m interested. —fl]

So I know what my intuition tells me but since I genuinely don’t know the answer I thought I’d ask.

Does one political party/philosophy tend to hire more sex workers than others or is it pretty evenly distributed?

Intuition says it’s going to be more conservatives. (And not just because more conservatives seem to get busted for soliciting escorts and other forms of compensated sex partners.) But again I don’t know.

You’re welcome to speculate but if you’ve got either personal experience or sources I’d especially like to hear from you.

Posting Bleg: Blogger-to-Blogger Public Dialogue Software Question

“To bleg is to write a blog entry or comment for the sole purpose of asking for something.” — Blogglossary.com

In email another blogger suggested that it would be nice to have a joint dialogue about a particular topic related to both our areas of expertise. The idea being we could have some sort of email-like threaded discussion that would be like, well, email except it could be posted to one or both of our blogs. Or possibly to a third-party… something or other… and we could each link to that.

The easiest thing for bloggers, I suppose, would be for each of us to just post to our own blogs, link to each other with our replies, and then link to our links to our replies to our replies… and, yeah, that’s where it sort of breaks down.

Twitter’s a little too chaotic and, to be honest, 148 characters posts isn’t exactly my forte.

Facebook is another possibility, I think, maybe. I have a Facebook account and so does the other blogger, but neither of us are exactly Facebook wizards.

So!

Anyone know of a nice, easy way to go about that? Using a plugin for either a MovableType (this blog) or possibly WordPress (that blog?)

Thanks in advance.
