Seriously, guys, you can't make this stuff up ...

Just in case we need yet another way to get screwed in this government bailout business.
Larry Flynt is a hoot. One of his favorite pastimes is skewering hypocritical politicians. No matter how you feel about porn, you gotta love that about him.
We've been talking about this at work. It's hilarious, because Hustler makes a LOT of money via the Internet. By a LOT, I mean whole buttloads.
It's true, though, that regardless what industry you're in, everyone's taken a hit with the way the economy has been for a long while now. The adult industry gets hit in odd ways, but we're seeing it a great deal more lately. For example: the latest adult industry trade shows in Vegas are seeing lots of cancellations, and we're being told about them here at my office in trying to set up meetings, simply because they can't afford to go out, rent a booth AND pay for hotel, airfare, per diem, etcetera.
A five billion dollar bailout isn't going to solve the issue, though. It's just going to get the extreme heat because it's about boobs and bangin'.
I sure would like my bailout! Oh, I can't...it is my taxes that BAILS out others. Duh!
I just think some people on hubpages really, really must need the money...haha...or want it. I think maybe they'd do well to perhaps study Mark Knowles method on hubs and the internet. It just could... be beneficial. I remember him saying he made something like $144,000 last year from his sites. And business is business,
omg!
HAHAHAHA that is just wrong and so funny on so many levels.

Taxpayers pay for $49,000 of the $89,000 dollars it cost to build a Chevy Volt. Sound like a good deal to you? That President Obama really wasn't joking when he said energy costs will have to sky-rocket was he? What a joke. See what happens when we rely on government?

Warren Buffet personally benefited from the bailouts, so of course he wants the rich to pay more in taxes (he gets the money, and they're his competition).Also, he DOES pay more in taxes than his secretary -- in fact, the IRS claims he still needs to pay $1 billion...

I was reading this article about Sean Loftis. He is a Miami-Dade county substitute teacher who was suspended from his job when it was discovered that he is a former gay porn actor. This situation reminds me of Tericka Dye, who was also a porn star in the past. After Dye...
