Man, Forbes sucks!!! I don't think they could find there rear with both hands placed on it. What I am talkin about is no JEAN LAFAYETTE!!!! Dude, that's just wrong!! ( Yeah, I know I may have gotten Jean's last name wrong. Spelling never was my strong suit.)

First of all,
I seriously doubt that Forbes would produce such a list
would like to see a link to said article
second of all,
to say Forbes sucks as a very ignorant and uneducated statement.
Is your subscription to High times delivered to your trailer or your PO box?

Second of all:
Brady boy, please, stop by Sears or another chain store on your way home today and purchase a sense of humor. (That's what the smiley face icons are for, to indicate levity.) I am a Physical Therapist and work in Texas. I did not get where I am by being uneducated or reading High times. I do believe that not taking life seriously all the time has helped me relate to my patients better.
In retrospect the statement that Forbes sucks could find quite a bit of merit considering our nations financal situation. I suppose people like you and Barney Frank are subscribers to Forbes!!
