Topical Entry

Finally made it over to the east side of the district with Ms. Vanity and the inimitable David Bontempo to catch a screening of I.O.U.S.A.

This debt clock is running slow. It doesn't include the $1trillion + added just last week for the bailout of global investors & recent home buyers.

The clock may need a change of batteries if they can afford it.
