Every time I hear Sarah Palin talking about this not being the time to "experiment with socialism" I get an image of some high school kid trying to snort some high-grade socialism through a $700,000,000,000 bill.

Just another way the Bush administration flirts with fascism (others include: embracing a palingenetic vision, militarism, religiosity, destruction of civil rights, violations of posse comitatus act, etc).

It's a damn good thing those fuckers can't decide if they want to rob the treasury or build a 1000 year reich.
