[Phlegm]

This got to be an old list since google is worth over 100 billions now and not on the list. Is the list top revenue producers or companies' net worth?

[alezrik]

Nope, but these guys did and still do http://www.defensenews.com/content/feat ... hart1.html

2004 total revenue for defense was 285,719,100,000

[Ouchyfish]

Wal Mart set us up the bomb?

You bastard. I woke my 4 month old bustin out laughing at that.

[Phlegm]

With the Republicans controlling the Senate, this is a done deal. He will be the newest supreme court justice, correct?

[kaharthemad]

Yup then according to Ted Kennedy and sKerry we will strap rat cages on the liberals and turn the old people of this country in to Solient Green

[numatu]

This whole process comes off as extremely distasteful. Alito is obviously qualified, and yet still this whole process has been pathetic.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, by contrast, is/was as ideological as they come, serving on the ACLU's General Counsel and Board of Directors. And yet she was confirmed to the Supreme Court with 96 out of 99 votes. The other Clinton appointee, Breyer, was confirmed 87-9. Those long-standing Republicans in the Senate must be pretty pissed off about now.

[Kramer]

I say we set up an entire thread just for Alezrik to tell us abot how stupid we all are, and how he is somehow above eating propoganda sandwiches when everyone else has to and how his vision is so much clearer and his thinking so much brighter than all of our thinking and seeing....

wow..... that would be an AWESOME FUCKING THREAD......

[Ouchyfish]

I lean towards the right politically, in case you haven't noticed, however I like the supreme court balanced, or even listing to the left. I hate the liberals until they start fighting the conservatives on internet porn.

Don't fuck with my internet porn!

[Martrae]

I'd prefer a court that votes alone constitutional lines rather than political.

Alezrik is right about one thing. The biggest business in America since the 1940s is the defense industry. It dwarfs all other businesses.

[Phlegm]

Alito was sworn in today. Senate voted him in 58 - 42.

[Ouchyfish]

Al Gore is demanding a recount

[Eziekial]

Alezrik has a valid point. Our government is the largest employer and has the greatest revenue of any company worldwide.

[kaharthemad]

well moot now...Teddy and Kerry could not count, they are just now realizing why the Filibuster did not go thru.

[xaoshaen]

Heh, so what you're saying is that the entire defense industry is slightly larger than Wal-Mart? I do believe you've just undermined whatever point you were trying to make.

Except that it's, you know, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah... "not". It's not the largest industry in America.
