  • This is actually a very interesting article and if it is true it should be part of GOP political ads.

  • This graphic is not accurate. It's does not reflect the additional $9.37 they spent for every dollar they took in.

  • Reminds me of an old sailor joke about the guy that goes ashore one day, then next day going to beg another another $100 draw from the captain; the captain asks how he spent all that money so fast, and he runs off a list of gambling and dancing and dining and drinking and movies and more drinking and the captain adds it all up and says, That's only $98, what happened to the other $2? And the sailor says, I dunno, captain, I must have blown that foolishly somewhere!

    (I think the implication, in some versions, is that the 2 bucks went to "MEET" the girl in the first place. . . if ya know what I mean. . . )
