Sunday Not-So-Funnies

This one’s from The Week:

George Bush "Taxpayer bailout" comic


Here’s one from the webcomic Sinfest that takes a cue from the film Titanic to remind us that the rich will go on:

Here’s one featuring a name that you should familiarize yourself with: Phil Gramm.

He was an official economic advisor to the McCain campaign — at least until he called America “a nation of whiners” in an attempt to downplay the idea that the country was in a recession. He’s also one of the guys behind the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which led to the deregulation of the banking industry that led to the current crisis.

He’s still with the campaign on an unofficial basis and often travels with McCain. McCain also drops his name whenever questions of economics come up.

And finally, a poke at Reagan’s joke “The nine most terrifying in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.'”
