Pornography mogul, Larry Flynt, is suing his own nephews--Jimmy and Dustin Flynt--for using the name "Flynt" in their own porn production business. Uncle Larry is put out by what he says is a tarnishing of his good name's reputation for quality. His nephews, he fears will sully the family legacy with their cheap imitations. The nephews point out that their name is Flynt. What other name should they be using?
Yesterday, Barack Obama warned that the United States would likely have many "years to come" of trillion-dollar deficits as he and his people work to get the economy back up and running. His plans include banning earmarks (hey, we thought that was John McCain's issue!), establishing a special panel to monitor the use of government "bail out" money and a website to allow the public to do the same.
