I don't know which is funnier, the headline...

Bad economy is hurting strippers, too

... or the last sentence:

That's hitting a guy where it hurts the most.

Something else you should know about Obama:

"Our nonpartisan organization . . . was surprised to learn that David Axelrod's public relations firm has negotiated a contract of at least $2 million to lead a campaign against the state's best chance for change in 20 years -- the upcoming referendum on whether or not the citizens of Illinois should call a constitutional convention to deal with the mess in Springfield. While your campaign manager is heading a presidential effort whose slogan is "Change you can believe in," his firm is running a local campaign whose slogan should read, "Change we must fear and undermine."

Just a little something else to keep in mind. You are, after all, known by the company you keep.
