In one short year the bailouts managed to spend far in excess of nearly every major one-time expenditure of the USA, including WW2, the moon shot, the New Deal, Iraq, Viet Nam and Korean wars — COMBINED

Bailout Costs vs Big Historical Events

I’ve been aware of this Dan Connolly for quite a while but it wasn’t until I started seeing how high I ranked on Google that I found out about some of my other namesakes. So, starting with him we have:

• W3 Dan Connolly - not sure what I can say about this Dan Connolly, the Semantic Web sounds awesome, just also a little bit like Skynet.
  
• New England Patriots Dan Connolly - He’s 6′ 4″ and weighs 313 pounds. Should some dystopian future where everyone must be uniquely named and namesakes are forced to fight to the death come to pass I hope I don’t draw this guy.
• Seattle Singer Songwriter Dan Connolly - he was a U.S. Navy diver specializing in Explosive Ordnance Disposal for 11 years. And he trained dolphins.
• Sports Columnist Dan Connolly - He writes for the Baltimore Sun, I’ll see if he pops up in Season 5 of The Wire.
• Boxer Dan Connolly - Heteroanthroponymageddon isn’t looking good for me.
• Wine Connoisseur Dan Connolly - He likes Morrisey.
• Last (and I think by most measures least) we have Governor Dan Connolly - I take back everything I’ve ever said about moustaches being cool.

Penny Arcade are now taking votes on which of their three ‘treatments’ they should continue with:

• Lookouts
• Automata
• Jim Darkmagic

As it was the one I was most taken with when I first read it (and it seemed to finish the most abruptly) I went for Lookouts, but I’m half-wishing I’d gone for Automata…
