You could buy a Caribbean Island for every single person in the state of South Dakota

Every person or every "single" person?  :p

Entire population of South Florida could cruise around the world continuously for 8.4 months

Eight months? Everyone would be dead from food poisoning in five.  :p

Why stop at DU? With that much money, you could buy DailyKos, MyDD, SmirkingChimp, HuffingtonPost, RawStory, TruthOut, and still have enough money to buy a laser which can carve out your name on the moon.

I wasn't aware that the assload was a metric unit.  What's the conversion rate to, say, cubic feet?  (I'm assuming from context that assload is a measure of volume.)

Yes, it is a measure of volume. A metric assload equals precisely 1.237 standard assloads. :-)

100 aircraft carriers (with air wings).  Let them all sit off the Iranian coast until Amawhackjob opens his cakehole, then commence offloading magazines via F-18.

Sorry, but I'm in an evil mood today.

I think that's a damn good bailout plan. Just think what it would take to build a 100 aircaft carriers and aircaft, steel mills, mining for ore(iron, copper, etc.), oil well drilling/coal mining/gas wells for the needed electricity, shipyard workers, trucks for delivery of supplies.....the list could go on and on.

....and in the end, we'd have something to show for the $700 billion. With what they're planning now, all we get is more paperwork.......and you can't even wipe your butt with the paper.

Tickets to the moon.

That way one is more confident that they will really be one way.
