Another war

Is Bush winning the War on Terror? The answer may depend on the scope of the theatre and who you ask. Regardless of your answer, you should know that a new war has commenced – Bush’s War on Porn.

Porn? Great! Child pornography should be stamped out, yesterday.

Well, not so fast. This War on Porn targets the kind that depicts and is marketed to consenting adults.

The new unit, housed in the Washington D.C. office, will initially consist of eight agents, a supervisor, various support staff and will target manufacturers and purveyors of pornography.

Who makes money on pornography? Perhaps you.

What?! Check your portfolio.

According to the Washington Post:

Explicit sexual entertainment is a profit center for companies including General Motors Corp. and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. (the two major owners of DirecTV), Time Warner Inc. and the Sheraton, Hilton, Marriott and Hyatt hotel chains.
