How to fix the economy, the presidential race, and everything

avatar

Lets sell Alaska back.  I mean really do it this time.  Adjusted for inflation, we only paid about $380 million for it back in 1867.  What's Alaska worth now?  Trillions, right?  When your ROI can be expressed in orders of magnitude, it's time to sell. 

See you later, sub-prime mortgate meltdown.

As a bonus, Sarah Palin would become a Russian citizen, disqualifying her for VP.  Now don't get me wrong, I like watching Jon Stewart and SNL skewer her as much as the next guy, but there is a very real possibility--greater than that of the LHC destroying the world--that she will accede to the presidency.  You might like those odds, but as a freedom-loving patriot, I'd like to keep this off our currency for the forseeble future. 

Create Some Comrades!  Exonerate Seward!  Sell Back Alaska!
