How Would You Fix the Economy?

This is probably an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper - Sunday Edition .
The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"
Some people thought this was the BEST idea.  He nailed it!
 (Remember ... its the US economy they are talking about)
 
There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force; pay them $1 million a piece severance with stipulations:

1) They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.
3) They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.
 
All this, and it's still cheaper than the "bailout".
 
Smart !!  Isn't it !!

This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta

Gandhi Topi !!

Image
I am sure the  head gear / head wear / cap above needs no introduction. It is the all-famous Gandhi Topi or the Gandian Cap or any other version of the cap name with the Gandhi name attached it.
