Do you realize how many lawyers have recently been hired by all the Pubs who are in legal trouble? Guys like Abramoff usually have more than ONE!

I sweal, every day, there's another Pub linked to something illegal, or a new investigation about yet another illegal stunt!

These guys don't come cheap, and with all those retainers, they have to be contributing LOTS to this booming economy!

1. Actually
the economy is not doing well at all.

The recent GDP growth was entirely due to the rise in energy costs. Since the energy is part of consumption, the more they charge for gas the more the GDP grows -- it is quite simple.

Unfortunately people are too dumb to understand that.

2. Yea, that's true, but how many of those NEW jobs that Shrub
was talking aobut were at law firms, hired by the Pubs to do the grunt work on all those damn investigations? From all I've read, there sure should be a lot!
