By economy do you mean world?

Maura Reynolds (LA Times) wrote a rather interesting article yesterday regarding the president of the United States and his obvious economic shortcomings.  In this post, Reynolds uses results derived from a LA Times/Bloomberg poll which reveal some entertaining evidence amongst Republicans.  Apparently 22% of the same individuals that voted this winner into office claim that the United States economic conditions have improved.  WHAT!!!  Are they serious?  If feel compelled to quote Clark Griswold here, “take a look around…we are sitting at the threshold of HELL!”  Is this 22% so preoccupied with spending their stimulus package on monster truck rally tickets that they don’t realized the status of our economy/world isn’t exactly par?  Hello, these people should quit watching reruns of Roseanne and start educating themseves on what is actually occurring in the world before making any comments…just a thought.

How to Start Your Own Pointless War

If you are reading this post to learn how to really start a war, well then you’re just as creepy as the individual displayed in the associated image.  There is one thing I can tell all you potential warlords out there; it’s not going to be cheap.  My advice is for you to start raising the price of fuel and food, in your country, right now.  The average cost of a aimless war these days is somewhere north of ½ a Trillion Dollars.  Way to think it through Bush…your intelligence has made us all proud.
