Manhattan Strip Clubs: Get the facts straight before clamping down on NYC mosque

It’s an interesting innovation to suggest that American freedoms should be no greater than those of repressive nations. What’s next? No political protests in Washington until political protests are allowed in Pyongyang?
The project has caused other Republicans to take leave of their better judgment. Sarah Palin urged New Yorkers to stop it. Carl Paladino, a candidate for governor of New York, says he would use the power of eminent domain to take over the property.
But let’s not overreact. Much of what we’ve heard about the building is not quite true. It’s not a mosque: It’s a 13-story, YMCA-style community center, with a gym, pool, lecture hall, performing arts venue and library, all of which will be open to the public and it will have a mosque occupying one floor.
It’s not at or next to Ground Zero: It’s two blocks away, in an area of tall commercial buildings and at least one gentleman’s club.

Manhattan Strip Clubs: The Welk Resorts Theater is about to go Full Monty! – Presenting the Broadway …

The Welk Resorts Theatre is about to go FULL MONTY! – presenting the Broadway Smash. A cast of seasoned veterans led by Broadway and touring veteran Timothy Quinlan (Footloose and Jersey Boys) taking the role of Jerry, and Welk Show Veteran Cissy King (of Cissy and Bobby) appearing as Jeanette.
Seeing how much their wives enjoy watching male strippers during their “Girls’ Night Out,” unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo, New York come up with a bold way to make some quick cash. In the process they find renewed self-esteem, the importance of friendship and the ability to have fun. As the guys work through their fears, self-consciousness, feelings of worthlessness and anxieties (over everything from being overweight to child custody, bigotry to being gay), they come to discover that not only are they stronger as a group, but that the strength they find in each other gives them the individual courage to face their demons and overcome them.

Manhattan Strip Clubs: Louis XIII Holds Court at New York Strip Club

A white hummer pulled up in front of the club, and armed guards were on hand to meet it and escort the passengers. A welcoming committee, of sorts, waited on the red carpet, flanked by me and people like me. The passengers, of course, were a pair of Louis XIII Rare Cask de Remy Martin cognac bottles, and their destination club was the Rick’s Cabaret gentleman’s club in Manhattan.

Frankly, I was a bit surprised that a gentlemen’s club would get such a high allocation. Make no mistake: Rick’s Cabaret is an upscale establishment, and it provides a luxury service that can get as pricey as you’d like. But, it’s just not what you’d expect … it’s not what I’d expect, and I tend to be rather open-minded on these matters. I used to cover Rick’s Cabaret and had the pleasure of interviewing the company’s CEO, Eric Langan, on several occasions.
