Actually you are NOT correct. While MPD may be an acceptable shortcut if you are a resident of the District, the official name is the Metropolitan Police District of Columbia. The official acronym is MPDC. But I knew what you meant so I really don't care. :-) I also knew what DCPD meant in an earlier post. MPD is fine as long as DC is somewhere in the text so I know the location.

 

Frightfully happy AND a bit cranky, eh?

who is sean?

scroll to the bottom of http://www.mpdc.org & you'll find © 2001 Metropolitan Police Department.

the acronym the official site uses INSIDE the site is MPD.

mpdc.org is simply the URL.

PLEASE try harder!

a call to the the *MPD* non-emergency number, 202-727-1010 brought forth the response that MPD is the official acronym of the force. the Metropolitan Police Department (of the District of Columbia) was created August 6, 1861 by an act of Congress.

tracker, your paraphrase is very funny. who said it?

RE: who?

 

I don't recall his name off hand, but he was one of the great romantic leads in the 30s and 40s.

 

His satement was made in response to a comment from (I believe) a journalist, gossip columnist or police investigator that went along the lines of "Mr. XXXXXX, I don't understand why, of all people, *you* would have to pay for sex."

A certain DCEscortBoy is getting awfully anal with the corrections (and I'm NOT sure if I mean that in the nicest possible way). :-) Although he's technically correct that impeachment, which is akin to an indictment, takes place in the House, with a trial in the Senate, the whole process is commonly referred to as an impeachment. However, DC is right that the House impeached Clinton, but the Senate acquitted him.

 

In any case, this is getting a bit sterile. There doesn't seem to be any evidence that Condit was messing around with men, or escorts, and I for one say "Thank God!" The last thing we need is headlines screaming about "Homosexual Congressional Serial Killer" or some such!

 

BTW, when they mention Levy's apartment house, they keep showing the Newport on 21st St., N.W. Small and weird world, because I lived in that building during my brief residence in Washington back in the Pleistocene ('70/'71).

 

Oh, and Andrew Sullivan: por favor! There's another hypocrite who's seriously squandered his credibility. Sometimes, you CAN be too smart for your own good, and Mr. Sullivan is turning out to be a glittering example. The boy just needs to retire quietly to an orgy room somewhere and quit preaching purity to everyone else.

[Guest DCescortBOY]

well, a certain anal boy notes with relish that he wasn't even a glimmer in his daddy's eye when you lived at the newport.

i wouldn't want you to have had the misfortune to reside in the same city as someone so STERILE.

[trilingual]

DC, hon --

 

Not having been born at the time I was living in Washington is nothing special to be proud of. Keep two things in mind:

 

1) Guys my age are the ones who keep guys your age on this board in business, and

 

2) One day you'll find yourself looking in the mirror and wondering where your twenty-something self went as you stare at your fifty-something mug. We all get older, kiddo.

 

As for "sterile," I wasn't referring to you but to the discussion about Condit and whether he might be gay and/or patronizing escorts. In the absence of any info showing that, the topic is going nowhere, so we might as well move on to the next big item of dish.

[Guest DCescortBOY]

well, kiddo, you know NOTHING about my clientele or the average age thereof, now do you?

i don't recall saying anything unkind about your age. my relish was in the fact that my youth prevented you from enduring proximity to me.

Nice research on an important topic, but in the time it took to prove your correctness by making that call and visiting the website, you could have fucked at least two old men, OR, knocked off a chapter of How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie. A very useful book. Here are some sample thoughts:

 

FUNDAMENTAL TECHNIQUES IN HANDLING PEOPLE

 

Don't criticize, condemn or complain

Give honest and sincere appreciation

Arouse in the other person an eager want

 

HOW TO WIN PEOPLE TO YOUR WAY OF THINKING

 

The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never say, "You're worng."

If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.

Begin in a friendly way.

Get the other person saying "yes, yes" immediately.

Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view.

Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.

Appeal to the nobler motives.

 

HOW TO BE A LEADER

 

Begin with praise and honest appreciation.

Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly.

Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.

Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.

Let the other person save face.

Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.

Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.

 

Although some of the book may seem dated (written in the 30's), much of it still holds up, even for an already personable escort-savant such as yourself.
