Character assassination or just another dirtbag with herpes?

I wrote about the Don't Date Him Girl website in this very space. Now, they're being sued by a guy (described on the website as a "chocolate dream") who has "hookups in every zipcode", and who "gave [some girl] herpes."

In other, non-herpes having news, the NYT has an interesting article on rum as a historic American beverage. It also mentions the Pegu Club, which is one of my favorite places in NYC.

And as Dr. Brazen Hussy knows, rum is the new vodka.

Sofia is the new Prague

Brown was the new black, but now black is the new black.
