7. Fribble
8. Solipsism

52. Aril
53. Flivver
54. Jejune
55. Frowzy
56. Canard
57. Qua

Interestingly, many of these words I can use correctly in a sentence but not apply a formal definition. When I read them in a book I know what they mean in context, but couldn’t state the exact meaning. I guess that is a sign of a weak vocabulary. If I kept a dictionary handy as I read not only would my vocabulary be much better but I could use the words more in my own writing.

Talk about your double standard and double irony. Over the same tawdry incident Gov Spritzer falls from fame to ruination beyond repair and Ashley Alexandra Dupre — identified in court papers alleging that Spitzer paid thousands of dollars for her services as Kriste the high-dollar call girl — will likely rise to stardom and fame from her humble vagabond beginnings. She will get her fifteen minutes of fame and then some. She may even get a break in her music career if she plays it right. Heffner has probably already called Kriste.

No disrespect, beautiful though she is the only reason I’d pay Kriste $5,500 an hour for a night is if she could make me about $100,000 profit. Kinda like a pimp I guess but Ashley wouldn’t have to fuck any anal-retentive Jewish politician, or anyone else she didn’t want to. But then I am just a simple guy with not a lot of extra money (though she — Ashley or Kriste — could fuck me if she wanted to as long as she is “cleeean”.)

But I guess if I wasn’t paying the tab the fee wouldn’t be an issue. The escort service probably could have charged $10,000 an hour for all Spitzer cared, as long as he got what he wanted. Hell, for all we know the pussy was a throw in on some other deal.

Nobody would ever mistake me for being “Mister Clean” but it appears as if my criminal record will be much cleaner than Spitzer’s by the time “they” (like I said, Spitzer should have never fucked with a guy named Bruno) are finished with him.
