Happy Anniversary "Stimulus"!

Madame is so good at remembering dates. If you look through our posts, you can see that we've written posts about Margaret Thatcher's birthday, Hanukkah, Martin Luther King's Birthday, Christmas, etc. So it shouldn't have as a surprise that Madame remembered the "stimulus" anniversary. I feel so bad though because I didn't get the bill a gift! Apparently, the traditional gift for a first anniversary is paper. Well me and my good buddy, POTAK (printer of Alaska) could have sent the bill reams of paper. However, essentially that's all the "stimulus" bill is--reams of paper. It didn't really do anything. As Madame points out in her post, there's still higher than promised unemployment; money for "green" jobs went to China; money went to non-existent congressional districts, etc. Yeah, so how's that "hopey changey stuff workin' out for ya"?

Rather than get bogged down by the inefficiency of this bill, Madame decided to do something positive and endorse someone to help drain the "swamp of D.C." so she called for common sense conservatives to send money to help Sean Duffy, a candidate for Congress in Wisconsin! What's the kicker? Duffy's opponent, Congressman Obey, is one of the authors of the "stimulus" bill! Madame has impeccable timing!

Madame's Free Market Stimulus Plan

I don't know if Madame intended to help provide a jolt to various sectors of the economy by writing a book, but it appears that she just might do that. I wrote about Madame's book a few times last week, and her book still maintains the top spots on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, even though it isn't being released until November 17th. 1.5 million books will be printed for the first edition. That is a heck of a lot of paper, ink, and other necessary book-binding materials! I suspect that this will provide a needed stimulus to those industries, not to mention the both the brick and mortar and online book industries!

There is another industry that has seen its stocks rise in recent months, likely due to Madame's Facebook postings and the fits that she is giving to the Great Opologizer. Sadly, as an inanimate object, I cannot own stock. If I could though, I would buy stock in Kimberly-Clark, the makers of Depends. In the past six months, the returns for this stock have increased by more than 20%. This makes sense, as Madame has a tendency to make the President get all "wee-weed up" and make him so scared that he "you know whats" his pants.

Don't tell Madame, but I'm going rogue myself. I'm planning on preemptively starting on online business as part of my own stimulus plan. I'm going to sell 2012 presidential campaign memorabilia and 2013 inauguration keepsakes. My first item will be a "I went rogue, and all I got was this move to the White House" mouse pad. What do you think?
