5 Immoral Investments, Cigars & Lobbyists, Teachers = Pork

--We learn that the Congressional Cigar Association is actually a front for lobbyists, and discuss what about cigars is so attractive to conservatives, even though it was Bill Clinton who brought the cigar back into the media landscape some years ago.

--Producer Louis chooses which of 5 politically incorrect and immoral investments he would make if he had to choose one.

I think politicians should be like NASCAR drivers and just wear their sponsors' logos on their jackets or something. It's getting fucking ridiculous

This e-mailer's blame-the-rape-victim mentality is disgusting. There have been rapists who specifically target young, "slutty" women and those who target elderly, "modest" women. More clothes does not mean more protection. Rapists are not looking for an invitation, they will rape any vulnerable woman, regardless of apparel. A burqa does not protect a woman from rape, which is why rape is not uncommon in Islamic countries. And in these countries, the rape victims are LEGALLY at fault. Disgusting.
