All the self congratulatory blather from Congress and Detroit over the Cash-For-Clunkers program is starting to get on my nerves.

These people are acting as if giving Americans $3 billion in free money to buy cars was an insight of unparalleled brilliance.

That's like paying me to shoot guns or play Halo. I hear the Russians were inspired to start a similar stimulus program where they pay old men to drink vodka and pass out in the Metro.
