Bailing Out Without a Parachute?
via LewRockwell.com Blog by Butler Shaffer on 22/09/08


McCain and Obama have, as one would predict, taken the cowardly way out of the 
corporate bailout question by focusing their responses on wanting "oversight" 
of the process. The word "oversight" is a contranym (i.e., a word with 
diametrically opposed meanings). One meaning is "to give close attention to," 
while the other definition is "to fail to see." I wonder which of these 
meanings will be embraced by these would-be philosopher-kings?

Obama's supporters carry signs that read "change we need." They should hang on 
to these placards after the election. Then - like some of the homeless people I 
see with signs reading "I need your change" - they will be able to fit into the 
new cadre of "street people" to whom taxpayer-rescued CEOs can toss a coin or 
two as their limos speed them to new rackets to exploit!
