The term is from 1984, though the format is almost definitely Schoolhouse Rock.

Is that supposed to be a take on the old "Knowledge is Power" image from Schoolhouse Rock? Because if so, that just makes it even funnier. Why yes it is. Schoolhouse Rock plus "1984" by George Orwell.

Well, there's already been plenty of "War is Peace" rhetoric during the Bush administration. We can only hope the "Freedom is Slavery" guy bombs at the polls when they show up.

Hence, 'Orwellian' I'm guessing. Fuck yes they have the right of way.

Meh, it's only around 6% of the total debt (link)And it's not like China is debt free (link). I need to poke around more, but I wouldn't be surprised if they owe us money as well.

Logically, wouldn't we just subtract the amount they owe us from the amount we owe them and say they don't owe anything? Or is there some complex international finance thing going on that prevents things from being that simple?

Logic? In government? You're kidding, right?

Logic has no place in government.

Because all Pakistanis are terrorists?

Well, obviously. Are you implying that deciding whether someone is a terrorist or not should be based on something other than religion, nationality and skin colour?
