"I Spend of Your Grave!": 3D Fiscal House of Horrors, ep. 1
How did the federal budget become more terrifying than Rahm Emmanuel in a locker-room shower? It's not complicated. Since World War II, government revenues have averaged about 18 percent of Gross Domestic Product. Government expenditures, alas, have rarely kept close to that number (this year alone, it will be close to 26 percent of GDP). The result is as predictable and grisly as a curvaceous college co-ed entering the last house on the lane: red ink that threaten to drown us all.
This is the first of three episodes of 3D Fiscal House of Horrors from Reason.tv. To watch all the other episodes ("Night of the Living Debt" and "Attack of the Killer Compensation") and to check out a scary warning from former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), go here.
Reason magazine subscribers have already received their special 3D issue of the magazine, which comes complete with 3D glasses and over a dozen ways of slashing government spending down to size! To get yours, go here.

I Spit On Your Grave
World’s greatest date movie?
They’re remaking it. Should be way better since the chick just goes all-out violent after the gang-rape instead of seducing each guy first.
As long as there is no CGI I’m OK with that. I can’t imagine a remake being anywhere near as graphic without getting an NC17 or a Federal obscenity indictment.
That whole seduction bit was absurd. The rape sequence was horrifying and real; everything subsequent was ridiculous. No way even those lunkheads would have believed she wanted to seduce them. She could not have succeeded in committing those murders. As difficult as the rape sequence was to watch, it was the best part of the film.

Typo in the title of this post.

We have? I subscribed almost two months ago, and only just now received the October issue.
Hey, I’ve been a subscriber for years, and I’ve been a’waitin on my special issue and glasses, but I don’t have them yet.
I hope Gravel means it when he calls himself a “recidivist candidate.”
I’d love to see him run again.
…grown more sharply than Al Gore during a full-body massage.
Now that’s horror!
Alas, I am a subscriber too, and have not received my glasses or special issue yet.
