  I should tell you, shadowcat, that Canadian senators are completely different animals than USA senators. Canadian senators are political appointees, NOT elected. The Canadian Senate is pretty much a joke pasture for bagmen, unelectable former candidates, or appointees that the prime minister may make to gain a short term advantage in a coming election. Canadian senators must retire when they reach the age of 75. Some of these characters get a 30-40 year ride on the taxpayers' backs. There is strong public pressure to abolish the whole corrupt institution (a major scandal is playing itself out right now).
  
  I know this club, Barefax. My visit to the joint was not so great. As a matter of interest, the club is located just steps from the Canadian Senate building where Brazeau used to sit.
  
  Are there ay SCs on Pennsylvania Ave in Washington DC?

  He was in a charity boxing match with a pot smoker who may be our next Prime Minister! No joke!

  Yeah, and Justin Trudeau cleaned Brazeau's clock. I would much rather have a pot smoking scrapper as our Prime Minister than the mealy-mouthed weasel who is our current Prime Minister.

  farmerart--re your question about DC, Archibald's is less than three blocks from the White House. Our politicos are just as corrupt, but there's not much action to be had at DC clubs.

  You mean the players on the Ottawa Senators don't make it on the team through a democratic process?!!

  Che, thanks for the walk down memory lane with Wilbur Mills and Fanny Foxe. I had forgotten all about them. Today's politicians are more corrupt and more boring.

  There is a strip club named "The White House," but it's not in DC. It's safely far enough away in Auckland, New Zealand. See:

  Note its related massage parlor, "Monicas:"
