2008-09-26: A really large number
Of all the ludicrous things that have come out of this political season, perhaps the most ridiculous was a quote from someone in Treasury to Forbes.com on Tuesday:
“It’s not based on any particular data point,” a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. “We just wanted to choose a really large number.”
Holy mackerel. I don’t know how you can think of things like this without your head just literally imploding from the vacuum of sense it entails.
