Excerpt:
Kerry Used to Be Rolling In Dough
By Grainger David

Pop quiz: George Bush is to the Texas Rangers what John Kerry is to ________.

Well, duh: A cookie shop, of course. In an effort to align himself with business types, Kerry has lately taken to mentioning his own adventures in capitalism. In 1976, back when he was first discovering life as a lawyer to be "very boring," Kerry founded a small Boston cookie shop, Kilvert & Forbes, with a friend, K. Dun Gifford. They named the store after their mothers. While in charge, Kerry managed about 35 part-time employees. He was elected lieutenant governor in 1980 and sold out in 1988 for "a small profit" to a former law client.

2. Did Bush's business make a small profit?
Amazing how drilling dry holes can be profitable....when you sell out and if your last name is Bush.
