| KENNEBUNK, Maine — With equal parts dread, gallows humor and gawking curiosity, residents of this bucolic seaside burg are sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to see if any of their neighbors are among the more than 150 men accused of paying a Zumba dance instructor for sex. “You’re familiar with ‘The Scarlet Letter’? This is the same thing, only now it’s the letter Z for Zumba,” said Gisele Nedeau, who runs Ashby’s Deli with her husband, Mark. Police yesterday had planned to publish the names of some of those summoned to court in connection with

Note she is 29 and her business partner is 54. They videotaped the encounters and kept meticulous records. Blackmail? This will destroy many families in a small community. Is sunshine always the best disinfectant?

We spent part of our honeymoon in Kennebunk Port. It was beautful. It was the peak of their tourist season and every restaurant closed at 8 0 and there were blue hairs and b&b's as far as the eyes could see. We were baffled and thought "surely this is the most boring town on earth." Apparently, we were very wrong!

I can't really see any purpose in publishing names. The woman and her "friend" are under arrest, they will pay a hefty fine at least, and the operation has been stopped. Why destroy any more lives? Divorce lawyers must be salivating; follow the money.

I do not see the point in publishing the names. This really is a minor crime, has been going on since the beginning of time and will never stop as long as we have sex drives. What it will hurt is the men, their wives and children. I am not saying frequenting prostitutes is good or should be encouraged. I am just not jumping on this shame bandwagon. And I am a woman. This is just my viewpoint.

If families are destroyed, then the blame is squarely on the men who betrayed their wives. I do not feel sorry for them but I do feel sorry for the wives and children who have been betrayed. In this day and age when morals are no longer applied to their lives, and cheap sex is their lifestyle, then let them take responsibility for their actions. Would you want to sleep with every prostitute these guys have slept with? Their wives do.

6, in Maine they publish the police blotter in the daily paper. I think it might act as a slight social deterrent.

FTA: ''the alleged prostitution racket that authorities said was run by 29-year old Alexis Wright''
The Justice Department was quick to send a representative, a one-time dis-barred lawyer who was sure to ''not have sex with that woman,'' in an attempt to assert that no Federal crimes were broken [just hearts] in the commission of her alleged actions. As a potential employer of the new IRS, Mr. Clinton [see Hillary], was acquiring information if correct tax forms were submitted and proper deductions made for the various ''outfits'' required in her new line of work. [Since this is an election year, the White House did not want another scandal of the proportions of Gov. Sarah Palin & her $150K wardrobe paid for by the GOP.]
Miss Wright, an avowed environmentalist & new age entrepreneur, claims to have taken the extraordinary step of taking showers with these men in an attempt to save energy because of a preexisting disability. Having to spend so much time on her back, she had these men sleep with her in attempt to keep warm in the quiet Maine town and move her about occasionally to keep circulation going. [Who knew ''Storybrooke, Maine'' existed?]
In a released statement from the White House, Mr. Obama called her on a her government supplied cellphone to be sure that she was a registered voter, her job was included by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and that she had free access to birth control.
''While I am no Sandra Fluke,'' a tearful Miss Wright, long out of school and possibly her cheer leaders outfit, ''I was doing the job that many of their wives wouldn't.'' [Wink, wink.]
Bill Clinton, nor Hillary could be found for comments on this story.

It's Kennebunk, not Kennebunkport. Two different towns, though they are next to each other. K'bunk is on Route 1, is moderately upscale and touristy. K'port is on the water, highly upscale (Walker's Point, the Bush family summer refuge, is there) and while it may have prostitutes, you can't afford them.

Imagine some moron explaining to his wife that he took showers with this woman "in an attempt to save energy". "It's just some of that New Age kinda stuff, honey". Like they say, the wife is usually the last one to know. I say plaster all these guy's mug shots up on posters all over town. Maybe that will send a message. Or is it massage?

Schools and police stations were burning in Stockholm as violent riots continued for a fifth consecutive night. Emergency services were called to 70 separate incidents, including two torched primary schools, burning shops and a destroyed library building also housing a local police unit. Despite police claiming that the situation is beginning to calm down, critics say the riots were unavoidable after years of widening social gaps in a country which has the highest proportion of foreign-born citizens in Scandinavia.

The lawyer picked Thursday to succeed Patrick Fitzgerald as Chicago´s U.S. attorney is a former federal prosecutor best known for taking on corrupt politicians and powerful institutions such as the University of Notre Dame. Zachary Fardon would take over an office that has made its mark nationally by putting crooked government officials behind bars but increasingly faces pressure to do more to help in the fight against Chicago´s violent street gangs. "Zachary Fardon will be unwavering in his commitment to justice, and I am confident he will serve the people of Illinois with excellence," President Barack Obama said

In an email to supporters, DNC Spokesman Brad Woodhouse writes that Republicans´ accusations of scandal aren´t legitimate — a claim that´s sure to draw howls from the right."Getting in President Obama´s way has been the top priority for Republicans in Congress since day one. But now they´ve gone too far. They´ve been caught red-handed making up so-called ´scandals´ out of thin air to stir up false rumors of vast ´cover-ups´ happening in the White House," Woodhouse writes.

Country singer Josh Gracin was in Washington on Thursday night to perform at the Ninth Annual Night of Heroes Gala, and as badly as he may have wanted to, he wasn’t allowed talk politics in an interview with The Hill.“I’m very political, almost to where I get in trouble with my record label not to post anything [on Facebook],” the former American Idol finalist said. Gracin’s handler quickly stepped in, nodding to the recording device in my hand and helpfully reminding him that he was on the record.

The Obama Administration fought to keep a search warrant for James Rosen’s private e-mail account secret, arguing to a federal judge that the government might need to monitor the account for a lengthy period of time. The new details are revealed in a court filing detailing a back and forth between the Justice Department and the federal judges who oversaw the request to search a Gmail account belonging to Rosen, a reporter for Fox News. A 2009 article Rosen had written about North Korea sparked an investigation; Ronald C. Machen, Jr., the U.S. Attorney who is prosecuting Stephen Jin-Woo Kim,

As Democrats and the media continue to hammer Virginia lieutenant governor hopeful E.W. Jackson for his past comments on social issues, the Christian minister says he is battling what he calls the “mainstream media’s caricature” of him. In an email sent to The Daily Caller this week, the running mate to Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli said “every one of those comments has a context and were spoken in my role as a minister, not as a candidate.” In particular, the black Republican took issue with the media’s outrage over his comments on abortion.

Ed Markey, is portraying him, accusing Ed Markey of low-blow politics that cross ethical lines. “You know, I’ve got four young kids and they gotta sit there and gotta see an ad with their dad, who’s a SEAL, who served honorably, talk to anybody I served with … and for him to be as dirty and low, pond scum, to like put me up there next to bin Laden, he’s just gotta be called what he is. That simple,” said Mr. Gomez, the GOP nominee

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
