5. that is the 'natural dynamic' of an egocentric male who thinks
women's greatest satisfaction is to be screwed by a guy with money.
Hey, we get 'screwed' by guys with money all the time....at 74 cents on the dollar for wages, and more. It ISN'T fun at all...

9. There's only a handful of Cable News types who make that kind
of money--$7M a year--you'd be talking about the very top leagues there--the Hannitys, O'Reillys, Larry King.

8. You shouldn't do it...
....it's like.. a commandment or something.

"Thou shalt not put thy rod in thy staff"
