As a Spokane res, I must say: Dolly's is delicious. Even in a burger-lovin' city like Spokane, Dolly's are standout.

I'm going to make an apple pie this weekend just to reclaim the glory.

I don't know anything about Dollys, but the write-up of the restaurant is horrendous. Doesn't the Stonewall News have an editor?

I think it really sucks to get Cody's mum involved in this

She must be so proud of her boy.

What #3 said. Come on, Dan. The fuck? She isn't even blasting her apple-pie makin' cunt mouth off about her sons innocence. Yet.

This whole thing will boil down to a case of "He said, she said." And it is pretty obvious which is which.

Definately a lot of O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Coulter level of mean spiritedness in the Stranger comments.

Brining the mom into this is really low. Even for the Stranger, this is low.

wow. what on earth does his mother's restaurant have to do with anything? so the guy makes pies for his mom when he's not fucking for money. big whoop.

Dan you still my boy and all, but you crossed the line on this one. Just keep it real.

Curtis resignation - Washington State Rep. Richard Curtis, R-La Center, has resigned his seat amid revelations of a sex scandal in Spokane. DEVELOPING...

Dolly's f'ing rocks. I try to go there whenever I go to Spokane.

Set it on fire! She deserves it! For...yeah!! FIRE!!!

This is, actually, really low.

Well, if Mr. Poe thinks it's low, it must be low.

Alright, alright--I took out mom's picture. Mom is, however, all over the police report we posted yesterday. So maybe that's why I didn't think it was a step over the line. Sometimes in the rush to post there isn't time to really think shit through... and like that.

The boyfriend, who grew up in Spokane, says Dolly's is terrific, for what it's worth.

Yay! Thanks, Dan. I depend on the immediacy of blogs to give me the juicy details, but agreed that seemed over-icky.

Oh, and...

My intention when I slapped this up was to show that Castagna wasn't just, as so many commenters are saying, some porn-makin', trick-turnin', skanky Spokane 'ho. He's got a mom, he bakes pies.

I've know lots of sex workers--none extortionists, alleged or otherwise--and there's more to 'em than the way they make a living, and I hate it when folks beat up on sex workers for being sex workers...

Whatever else he's done, Cody loves his mom.

Now all I can think of is that scene from "American Pie".

But does he have a BIG DIKK? That's all I wanna know!

This just in, even skanky pornsters have moms! And some of them bake and even, gasp, run bakeries!

*yawn*

This is true Dan. I love how people are so quick to name call for him being a "sex worker". We fail to realize that this is the same mind set that perpetuates the hatred and bigotry against the GLBT "lifestyle". Also, no one seems to realize why people work in the sex industry to begin with. Because closeted, hypocritical people like Curtis will PAY BIG for it. If this were Las Vegas it would be a legal profession anyway.

Um, no. In fact, Clark and Washoe Counties (wherein lie Las Vegas and Reno, respectively) are the only counties in Nevada where prostitution is NOT legal. Widespread, maybe, but not a legal profession. People can and do get sent to jail for it.

Am I the only lonely female on Halloween night thinkin.. "Damn, this Castagna guy is hot! Wonder if he would do me in the butt..?"

that dude IS low. extortion? not cool. he can suck all the dick on film he wants. nobody really cares. but demanding $$ to keep someones secret, makes him a giant hole and not in a good way. stupid peerick. guys like that give fags a bad name.

Sorry, the dude is awesome for exposing a hypocritical asshole who votes against the man he actually is. Extortion or not, porn or not, who cares, another republican hypocrite asshole is off his seat.

I saw this guy's picture in the article about the scandal in the local gay weekly here in my city and thought "hmm... he looks familar". Then I read the article and the part about him being an occasional porn performer and remembered: I'd seen him in a movie called "Damon Blows America 3" from Treasure Island Media. I looked him up at their website to confirm and googled his name to see if anyone else on the net had mentioned that appearance, and this page was one of the first links the search results returned. (Co)incidentally, what he says in that movie has a pertinence to this article. In the porno, before and when he starts getting "serviced" by Damon, he talks about his mother, and how she came out of the closet to him as bisexual, confessing that she and his dad would pick up chicks and have 3-ways. He subsequently started to tell her he was gay, but she interrupted him to let him know she already knew. He also said he'd showed her some of his porn online... Apparently, Dolly's is a family-owned business in more ways than one.

You can see pics of him at this page on TIM's website: http://beta.treasureislandmedia.com/TreasureIslandMedia_2007/xcart/catalog/DAMON-BLOWS-AMERICA-1-3-p-16191.html

A warning, however: This is not porn I would recommend. I watched it because I was curious about TIM's movies, and now I wish I could un-see some of what I saw. Few of the men are of even average attractiveness (at least in porn terms), and they're often doing very gross things with each other--and I say that as a gay person who's seen my share of porn.
