More signs of the times...
Someone has put the financially failing country of Iceland up for auction on eBay's UK site:
"Located in the mid-Atlantic ridge in the North Atlantic Ocean," the item reads, "Iceland will provide the winning bidder with — a habitable environment, Icelandic Horses and admittedly a somewhat sketchy financial situation." Apparently Bjork is not part of the purchase price.

My friend, blogger Jason Jepson, www.rewashednews.blogspot.com suggests to fix our financial woes we sell off our largest state:
--"Will be bought for $10 trillion buy Saudi Arabia for oil reserves. We take the money, dump it into the economy, banks, social security - and there will be no PORK!"
--"Might as well sell it to a country that does not care about the environment, will drill the hell out of it and create the Dubai of the north!"
--"We throw in Sarah Palin." (Jason, I guess we know how you're voting.)
--"We can’t sell Wall Street because we need to sell income producing assets."
