Billions and Billions

This Oooooooooold, but you gotta love StumbleUpon... no wait, I meant, you gotta love John Stewart's ability to sum up the absurdity of the world. This one is on Us Foreign Policy over the last couple of decades. Reminds me somewhat of a story from my childhood, about a carpenter making a table. When he's finished, he found one leg was a little too short... so he chopped a bit off all the others... only now one of the others was too short, so he chopped a bit more off the longer legs... and so on until he presumably ended up with a coffee table or a crude version of garden decking. For a very small garden.
