"...numismatic home invasions..."

This is just a riot: A SC state rep. has introduced legislation to prevent South Carolinians from using U.S. currency.

Apparently, State Rep. Mike Pitts believes we should convert to a barter system, the better to prevent the federal government from spending at so high a rate it collapses the economy. As if a barter system would not, you know, be a collapse of the economy.

Why should anyone give the time of day to a) Rep. Mike Pitts or b) Rethuglicans when they seem to seriously advocate insanity like this? This is the kind of thinking that should earn one a long, quiet conversation in a rural setting with a mental health therapist.

And so it goes.
