Do you need a Boeing airliner or are you looking to up grade your F-16?

Boeing and Northrop Grumman Corporation and the American Petroleum Institute are buying a lot of air time and they do not give any prices or say anything about St paddy day sales.

Why do they do it? We all know. If you see a commercial and they are not selling you something you know that they are buying something.

kinds of manufacturers like the GE ads about tree friendly trains and turbines, etc. Now I know GE also makes toasters but that isn't what's being advertised. I was told incidentally that it was fine and I was talking nonsense.

But it's apparent that these are the guys calling the shots on what's being programmed especially on news shows. The only products I might use are in the pharmaceutical ads, but that's really for my doc to decide. However, big Pharma is also a very influential lobby. They want to keep our drugs expensive and profitable.
