Karl Marx Laughs from the Afterlife He's as Surprised as Anyone to Find Himself In
I've finally had a chance to do some catching up with The Daily Show online, and I must say that it's provided the single most useful perspective on the government's, um, remarkably different treatment of (a) the financial industry and (b) the auto industry: "Wall Street lost $7 trillion without selling anything. At least when Detroit loses money, we get cars."
But don't ask where the bailout money's going. That would be gauche. Or something.
