Outlook - sgpease@msn.com: ""Mr. Comfort, can you suggest an obvious fact that I can debate publicly to rile people up? A b-list actor to help spread my name? A monkey suit I can rent to hand out pamphlets? I just need an idea to strike nerves. How about denying the holocaust or taking away womens' civil rights, claiming that ribs aren't people? I'd like to make approx $3,112, 224 million annually and not have to pay tax on it, or give anything to charity. Anyways, thanks for any ideas in advance…." D.T."
