Philip Weiss emailed 50 married men and visited a few experts to confirm his suspicion, based on personal experience, which he shares in New York magazine: Men are dogs. Like the former governor, they want some "strange," to quote Kris Kristofferson, so let's permit prostitution and allow mistresses the way they do in Europe, he argues. More »

      F1 Chief Loses Bid to Block Nazi Orgy Video
