    I certainly agree with him about the needless, wasteful and reckless government bailouts of failing private companies, but I'd have a hard time voting for anyone who says 'eye-rack'. Sheesh.

    I hadn't seen that video before; I enjoyed it. Your readers might enjoy reading an article of mine on the same subject, “Bob Barr on the Bailouts.” http://www.nolanchart.com/article4946.html
