House Approves $124 Billion for War in Iraq

OK, so think about this for a moment. Your representatives have just approved spending the gross national product of a medium sized first world country to pursue the war in Iraq for the next year - something close to the gross national product of neighboring Iran and nearby Israel.

We've got this all wrong! I say we should follow an alternative approach. At these rates we can simply give everyone there a vacation for the year. So I suggest we simply pay them to take the time off, to recover and relax.

That should fix it.
