Jenna Jameson quite possibly was joking to the reporter and he didn't pick up on it. Her husband is a big time Democrat.

Obama economy? Gasoline, $3.42. If Obama really wanted to help the middle class, he would do what he could to lower energy prices. Instead, he has loaded up the EPA with people with a anti-fossil-fuel mentality.

Why? Fossil fuels are only going to go up in price; doesn't it make more sense to implement switching over before they hit critical?

I have been hearing about peak oil since the 1970's and both demand and exploration have increased dramatically. We could run out, but I think I will be dead long before then. Even if oil runs out, the alternatives of natural gas and coal are still available.

That would be one hellaciously ugly shoe.

9. Ever heard of start up financing? You might have a list of potential customers but until you find the money or people to finance you, those customers won't pay you for products you can't deliver. Look up microfinance which has done wonders for the women of the 3rd World.
11. Outsourcing jobs can benefit many more consumers than the jobs it loses. Would you want to pay $10,000 for a 30" TV?

10 Most Profitable U.S. Corporations Paid Average Tax Rate Of Just 9 Percent Last Year: Report

The OUTRAGE!!... The SOCIALISM! Hrrrumph! I hate it when businesses can't make a profit. (I wonder how much of that tax-savings got passed down in the form of trickle-down new jobs?...)

Customers are job-creators... You don't create jobs if you have no one with disposable income to sell to.

One day the Democrats will actually elect a President and Congress that will address these outrageous tax loopholes. Instead of one like Barak more concerned with whining on the campaign trail. "Those Republicans are mean!"

Seems I remember that the Dems TRIED to close the loopholes and all of the little GOP/Norquist robots blocked it. Darn...I hate it when that happens.

But as a standard "throw-away talking-point" I'll give you about 1.8 ....
