The Bush administration sketched out a multi-faceted effort on Friday to confront the worst U.S. financial crisis in decades, outlining a program that could cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars to buy up bad mortgages and other toxic debt.

“A trillion dollar bailout? I think the cure is worse than the disease.”

But by then, you see (‘then’ being whenever the bill comes due), a trillion dollars will only be worth around three cents, just like in 1920s Germany.

Hey, that happened after a stupid pointless unwinnable war went on for way too long, too.

And some punk nation called USA clinched the deal for them and engineered some Treaty on Terror… wait, I mean, of Versailles.

But that was decades — decades, I say!! — after H.G.Wells wrote The War of the Worlds, which obviously presaged World War, Star Wars, and the power of microbes over heat rays.

Which is how liberalism invented fascism in this best of all possible worlds, and I wound up in jail with the size of Enrico’s forearm.

LEARN FROM THE LESSONS OF HISTORY!!! (So I haven’t had real sleep for three days. Does that make me crazy?)

My fave Theeds line to date.

“and the rest is going to be like 100 megatons of shit being dropped on us from orbit.”

Giant Killer Turds from Space. You have revitalized a long dead genre: scienticoprahobic B-movies.

I found that video so inspiring I went and cooked myself lunch on my Carl Lewis Grill. (pretty much a direct rip-off of a George Foreman, but cheaper).

Mmm, Mmm, Good.

I dunno, sure this may be the biggest, bestest, economic rescue plan EVAR.

But this is coming from the guys that invaded Iraq and organized the Katrina response.

So pardon me if I wonder if flushing a trillion bux down the shitter is the “not so bad” part of this whole fricken mess, and the rest is going to be like 100 megatons of shit being dropped on us from orbit.

Does anyone bail out the morally bankrupt? People who vote Republican. Bailing out the morally bankrupt since...well, forever™.

Funny, until I saw that video I didn’t know that Carl Lewis is gay.

And this is nobody’s fault, and there’s no need for any plan to pay for it.

But if there's no "plan", then surely this isn't an act of Big Government™. In contrast, stuff like greenhouse gas regulations actually involve plans, which is why they're the Communist Spawn of Satan. That's the difference. My friends. -- bi, International Journal of Inactivism
