2. Are our leaders smart enough to save our economy? And if not, what, exactly, happens?

1) Haha, someone's going to make good money on that video if they do it right. 2000-3000 seems like a bargain!

2) Rumor has it this plan, even if done right, might not do the trick. One thing that sucks about the economy is that people with real power are not allowed to talk about it in an honest way because they could set off a panic. Everything is based on confidence in the market, so people like Bush and Paulson and the news outlets and Jim Cramer and all the CEOs and Wall Street Journal and EVERY FUCKING PLACE ON EARTH refused to acknowledge there were problems until suddenly the biggest financial institutions in the country collapse.

The system is set up wrong when the market fears transparency. It should be welcoming it and competing within the bounds of transparent, fair rules.

Maybe this thought belongs on Plektix.

1. Update: the movie is being produced by Hustler, and will be titled "Nailin' Paylin."

2. That's a good point--overconfidence does seem to be good for the market, at least in the short term. In the long term it doesn't really benefit anyone because it stops us from seeing these gaping holes.

A lot of people like to blame short-sellers (people who gamble that the market will go down) for exacerbating our troubles. But it seems to me that they're the only people who have an incentive to find the weaknesses in the market, and their actions can help catch and correct these weaknesses.

"Hustler Video has cast Lisa Ann as Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin in a porn spoof called Nailin' Paylin.

Word of the latest political parody from Larry Flynt and company spread earlier today after the New York Daily News printed a rumor that Hustler was seeking Palin lookalikes on Craigslist. Hustler Video denied any connection with the ad but confirmed the Palin parody is in the works.

"Nailin’ Paylin will take the viewer on a naughty adventure to the wild side of that sexy Alaska governor," the company announced in a press release. "Sara Paylin will not only be showing us some girl-on-girl lovin’ but will also be nailing the Russians, who come knocking on her back-door (wink, wink) and in a flashback, young Paylin’s creationist college professor will explain a 'big bang' theory even she can’t deny!"

One scene will show the Palin character in a lesbian threesome with characters based on Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice. The movie will also feature a Bill O’Reilly character as the announcer who dishes dirt on the Paylin sex scandals.

"Obviously, the real life antics of Sarah Palin are much funnier than anything we could ever make up," Hustler exec Jeff Thill told AVN. "Her public appearances seem more like a trailer for a Farrelly brothers film then a carefully executed run at the White House."

Jerry T. is signed to direct. Hustler plans to have Nailin' Paylin on the streets in time for the November election."
