Bailing out Porn.

If I were Larry Flynt, I'd be camping out on the Capitol's stairs.

You've gotta admire the audacity of these folks.  I mean, to stroll up to Capitol Hill in your flesh-financed Prius (see Joe Francis' take), rocking your Fuck This Congress T-Shirt, sporting an entourage of 18-year old sorority air-bags from north Texas with a hand outstretched seems just ludicrous.  

But, is it really any more ludicrous that a few businesses getting more money than the current dollar amount of the national debt?  Or any more ludicrous than car companies that, for years, and fucking DECADES, fought tooth and nail on environmental reform, energy efficiency and fuel efficiency getting more than ten times as much money as the annual GDP of Zimbabwe?  

WTF?

I say give the porn kings their cash--it doesn't matter that most people don't buy pornos anymore (what with the invention of free porn on the Internet, who needs a 90 minute, poorly constructed story that ultimately ends too far in the future, and too predictably), what matters is that the government is fair in its assessment and correction of the economy.  Is porn to big to fail?

You bet your latex-enclosed ass it is.
