I believe the number is actually about a trillion if you count the other smaller bailouts. $85 billion for AIG, and $200 billion for fannie/freddie. That puts us just at $985 billion (that we're undoubtedly borrowing ourselves).

One thing that stuck out at the debate was that earmarks make up a total of $18 billion per year, so if we arbitrarily add that number, we can just barely top the big $1,000,000,000,000. Hooray, US! They say our education system sucks, but we can count reeeeeeeeaaaallly high.

My sister had to sell those frickin cards, and every now and then, someone would open one and it wouldn't go off no matter what they did. Finally someone brought one to her instead of putting it back on the shelf. She put it down and beat the shit out of it until it stopped making noise. I think someone clapped.

Watch out... he's got crazy eyes. I think he's on something.

Well done. Now where's my flying car?

fucking win.

Wow, everyone said toaster at once. Hivemind.

Oh, Milton Friedman. Why did people trust you so?

I bet he's got a great view from down there.

@Larfin Jackarse, what rock have you been living under, Neatorama has had trolls for a while now, and I see no change. If anything, I see more.

well played, DOJ. Well played.

I live in Ga, and they scored us 6 and 8 for extroversion and agreeableness. I couldn't disagree more. People are generally very polite and courteous around here.

Don't get me wrong, I'm ready to welcome our nanobot overlords, but I was promised a nanobot game of soccer. And I am disappointed.

I detect little to no soccer happening.

It lets your body be the interface. Just like a normal computer, but where you don't sit down, and you have to use full body motions instead of small movements of the fingers and wrists. Don't get me wrong, it looks cool, but it'll never be the new way of doing work.

Don't feed the trolls. They're well taken care of, and don't need you making them any fatter.
