I just finished an interview with Rep. Paul Broun about the effectiveness of the stimulus act. More on that later, but the quotable Broun had a quip about the Obama Administration’s economic policies: “Voodoo economics,” he called them.

The phrase was originally coined by George H.W. Bush in the 1980 primary to describe supply-sider Ronald Reagan's fuzzy math. Broun defined it a bit differently.

“You have to be a dead man walking around with no soul to believe the economic ideas they’re putting forward,” he said.

With rogue nations like Iran and North Korea seeking to become nuclear powers, it would be easy to see a conspiracy behind federal loan guarantees for a new nuclear power plant in Georgia. President Obama may have just sown the seeds of his own demise.

What if the innocent new reactors were really uranium enrichment facilities? Armed with an arsenal of medium-range nuclear missiles, future governor and Tenth Amendment absolutist John Oxendine and his heavily armed praetorian guard of crack-shot insurance executives could realize their dream of seceding from this oppressive union.

There’s no proof, but hey, this is the Internet, amirite? And doesn’t it at least sound plausible?
