The Honest Courtesan

I have been suing police officers for 39 years and I have never seen anything like this.  –  Jerry Steering

Back in January I featured a video from Afroman, mocking the cops who broke into his home, rooted through his possessions, and even stole his money based on claims that were absurd even by the low standards of cops.  But now, thanks to the Wet Diaper Gang suing their victim for making the best of the harm they inflicted upon him, I have discovered that there is a second video, “Lemon Pound Cake” (set to the tune of “Under the Boardwalk”), which I present here for your delectation (thanks to C.J. Ciaramella).  The links above it were provided by Wendy Lyon, Walter Olson, Franklin Harris, and Cop Crisis (x4), in that order.

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one.  Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful.  But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer.  So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets.  Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements.  Thanks so much!
