[J.T.]

so basically you used the check in such a way as to not stimulate the economy at all?

They didn't even give me a stimulus check, the bas s. Great idea, though. Give lots of people money but the people that need it most by not giving them any.

Many Americans have bravely stepped up to the plate in that regard.

President Bush Boosts Porn Industry With Economic Stimulus Plan, According to AIMRCo

Wed Jul 2, 7:55 AM ET

NEW YORK, July 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An unforeseen and surprising beneficiary of the Economic Stimulus Plan, a plan that George Bush contends will "boost our economy and encourage job creation," has surfaced this week. An independent market-research firm, AIMRCo (Adult Internet Market Research Company), has discovered that many websites focused on adult or erotic material have experienced an upswing in sales in the recent weeks since checks have appeared in millions of Americans' mailboxes across the country.

According to Kirk Mishkin, Head Research Consultant for AIMRCo, "Many of the sites we surveyed have reported 20-30% growth in membership rates since mid-May when the checks were first sent out, and typically the summer is a slow period for this market."

Jillian Fox, spokeswoman for LSGmodels.com, one of the sites reporting figures to AIMRCo, added, "In a June 15, 2008 survey to our members, thirty two percent of respondents referenced the recent stimulus package as part of their decision to either become a new member, or renew an existing membership."

The economic stimulus plan, which includes a check for up to $600 for individuals and $1200 for married couples (among other benefits), is the product of an agreement between House leaders and the Bush Administration, focused on reviving a struggling economy in the wake of a flagging economy.

Fox also added, "Getting more people to buy porn was probably the last thing Bush had on his mind when he came up with his 'stimulus package,' but we'll take it."

Coast to Coast AM is a special program. I love it myself. There are loonie toons on it, and professionals both. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish. They are very often right when it comes to politics, but then you'll also find those with loose change and loose marbles.

If you've never heard it, you should tune in sometime. One show may not be enough to get a feel for it because those that George or the weekend hosts interviews vary so much.

I have listened to it once or twice. There is a good investment/personal finance guy on it, but the rest of it just wasn't worth my time.
