“Dubya The Dud” Becomes “Dubya The Stud”?

This Think Progress post tells us that, with many of the economic stimulus checks in the hands of loyal Americans doing their best for the economy, guess which industry has seen an immediate benefit?

If you said porn, then you’ve automatically entered yourself in the drawing for free passes to the Bunny Ranch in Las Vegas!

(just kidding…)

An independent market-research firm, AIMRCo (Adult Internet Market Research Company), has discovered that many websites focused on adult or erotic material have experienced an upswing in sales in the recent weeks since checks have appeared in millions of Americans’ mailboxes across the country.

According to Kirk Mishkin, Head Research Consultant for AIMRCo, “Many of the sites we surveyed have reported 20-30% growth in membership rates since mid-May when the checks were first sent out, and typically the summer is a slow period for this market.”

And can you say “irony,” given the fact that this administration once set out to bust the “adult entertainment” industry by appointing John Asscroft as Attorney General (as noted here)?

Well, I’m sure these guys are happy anyway…
