Travelers Cheque-ing In
Just thought I'd drop in on the ol' Cost of the Iraq Invasion Clock site to see how my favorite Conservative president is doing these days.0 comments
It's been a while since I'd done so.
Well, the latest is, Bush's Folly is costing you precisely $115,000.00 per minute. Or looked at another way, that's $1,917.00 per second. Zip. Speedy. Gone. The smiling folks at Halliburton say, "Thank you very much."
Here's the Iraq Clock.
Now, note as the numbers fly by you, that this is the actual, direct cost only of Bush's Folly—in dollars, not lives (that's for another post)—and has nothing whatsoever to do with those other clocks sitting on the White House mantle: the bulging National Debt Clock or New York City's favorite tourist attraction: the ever-faster running U.S. Deficit Clock.
Yes, those are three distinct, separate hands you feel in your pocket.
"Money?! We don' need no stinkin' MONEY!"
