Wed, 06/23/2010 - 20:29

I know this one has made the rounds on email, so I wanted to memorialize it here.

Plan of Action
Spend! Spend! Spend!
Under the guise of Recovery - Bust the Government - blame the Capitalists for the failure - junk the Constitution and declare a Dictatorship.

Side note reads: "Worked for Russia." Afghanistan broke the USSR (see Charlie Wilson's War the Tom Hanks Julie Roberts flick if you don't believe me) and it's going to break the USA. This cartoon below is either prescient or we just don't learn from history.

"If I put this up your butt, you'll find out how effective it is. Let me put a round up your, you know."

Whoa, Nellie!
