Medical marijuana is now a $1.7 billion market, according to a report released Wednesday by See Change Strategy, an independent financial analysis firm that specializes in new and unique markets. Compare that with Viagra, which is a $1.9 billion business. I think that makes for way more “Stoners with Boners” than I ever imagined. .
And Now For Today’s Politics
Seeing the latest figures from the census showing the explosion of the Latin population in the United States, the GOP might think about learning Spanish rather than building a wall.
The former House speaker Nitwit Gingrich was quick to criticize President Barack Obama two weeks ago for not being more forceful in leading an international campaign to destroy Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's. Gingrich said the United States should tell Gadhafi "that slaughtering your own citizens is unacceptable and that we're intervening." On Wednesday, Nitwit did an about-face and said, "I would not have intervened." . …. Wow…Mr. Decisive. And this bonehead wants to be President?
Speaking of folks who want to be President. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) says she has not made a decision yet on whether she will run for president. This will certainly make the 2012 election interesting if Mrs. Bachmann and Mrs. Palin both decide to run. They would split the idiot vote. Both of these ladies have a screw loose. Obviously it’s the screw that keeps their mouth shut.
General Electric, the nation’s largest corporation, reported worldwide profits of $14.2 billion, and said $5.1 billion of the total came from its operations in the United States. So how much do they owe the IRS? .….ZERO, NADA, ZILCH… In fact, G.E. claimed a tax benefit of $3.2 billion. Even as the government faces a mounting budget deficit, the GOP talk in Washington is about lower tax rates. WAKE UP FOLKS… lower taxes for the corporate world, not for us common folks.
Stay tuned for future adventures.
Good stuff Rod.
