Well, I agree it is a clever story. Good use of illustration.
You know I don't agree with you about Obama so I'm not going to waste my breath.

I'm not trying to change the subject at all. It just made me think about how every time someone gets their 15 minutes of fame -- well, lets call it an hour, after McCain used it as an illustration in the debates, they suddenly have a "platform" and feel they need to use that platform. If I heard that inspired him to run for political office in his home town, well, I think that is great. But Congress? These people get used by the political machine for political purposes and then they fade into obscurity.

After today's election is over, I hope we're all still around in 4 years to talk about whether we're better off or worse off, depending on who gets elected.

Serious question: What do you think Exxon is going to do with their $14B in profits? Will they be creating new jobs or putting it into reseach? How many new jobs can you create for $14B?
