1. Well...more people are interested in porn
than in Halliburton. But the argument could be made that what Halliburton is doing is pornographic.

4. I stand corrected
You are correct. Porn may or may not have some redeeming value (I lean toward not) but Halliburton has none.

3. Frankly, sir ...
I do not want to hear 'porn' in the same sentence as anything even remotely related to Cheney, thank you. :P

6. Simply untrue
Halliburton saw its revenue increase 30 percent to $16 billion in 2003 http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/about_hal/overview.html

The most widely circulated number about porn is that it is now an $11 billion dollar industry.

Don't mean to be picky or anything....
