As a young man, I worked for a short time in a business where a good number of comely young women were also employed.
Temptation was always about for a virile young man with a head for sexual conquest. There were times when my job was the last thing on my mind as the pretty girls paraded themselves about in an attempt to catch my eye. My boss saw what was happening and gave me some advice, words of wisdom that day that I carry with me still:
Keep your dick out of the cash register.
Now my old friend
Paul Wolfowitz finds himself in something of a pickle because he failed to follow those simple
guidelines. It seems that Paul found himself a lady friend who agreed to do the dirty with him, but he had to provide her with career advancement in order for this relationship to continue.
Let's admit up front that Paul is not the most handsome man in the world. Certainly he will never be mistaken for Tom 'Magnum' Selleck on any occasion. Perhaps because of his looks, Paul has never been one to go out and birddog tail like some of us. I mean, I don't have to chase women - they tend to throw themselves at my overpowering virility. I am so virile, after all, that even my daughter bags chicks. Paul, however, lacks something in the manly machismo arena. He's something of a wet noodle, if you will.
He's also not very well-endowed. Trust me on this.
Some may want to draw some sort of parallel between Wolfie's situation and the pile of shit we caught that bastard Clinton in back in '98, two consenting adults and all of that bullshit. No good - completely different. For one, Clinton was married. Even if it was and is to a castrating butch woman who doesn't know her place, it's still his burden. Wolfie is a single man, free to play the field. Who here among us can honestly say that if we were in Wolfie's shoes that we would handle the situation any differently?
If I was as unattractive and "tiny"as Wolfowitz, then I would do whatever it took to corner the market on tail.
You would, too.
Admit it.
Okay, today we have a recipe from an evening with Wolfie.
I don't like dining with unmarried men. They tend to be somewhat unkempt in all things hygiene related. I'm not sure if this is a result of their bachelorhood or the cause of it. His apartment smelled like a mixture of old socks, Brylcream and a dead cat. After a couple of bottles of wine, however, we managed to get over the stench and force ourselves to eat this beef dish. Turned out to be not as bad as feared. I was drunk enough to ask for this recipe.
Enjoy the fucking beef.
