Simulacra and Stimulation (1:23 pm)
Barbara Ehrenreich got off an excellent laugh line earlier this week, writing “With all the talk about how to stimulate it, you’d think that the economy is a giant clitoris.”
Well, it got somewhat less funny today when, under the guise of the newly released stimulus package, we learned that the Democratic Congress is fucking us over. (Or, if you prefer, performing cunnilingus on the rich.)

Giving tax rebates to those who actually pay taxes? Shocking!
Ha! Score 1000 for Ms. Ehrenreich. This “stimulus” package will give most people just enough money to stuff under their mattresses against the possibility of unemployment.
