In a cutting edge story, The Smoking Gun reports a new form of counterfeiting that threatens the US monetary system: Bush Money.

It seems highly likely that the government will have to introduce some legitimate $200 bills in order to help pay for the Bush deficit. With us spending over $1000 a second in Iraq alone, I fear they will not be able to print the $100s fast enough. I sure hope the cashier was able to figure out the correct amount of change to give to the guy. Oh, I forgot, they have machines that do that for them.
