Clocks in Times Square: Yet another sign of the American Apocolypse

So I wasn't aware of this, but apparently there's a large clock in Times Square that's been tallying our country's national debt since 1989, when a wealthy New Yorker named Seymour Durst erected the sign to call attention to the then 2.7 trillion dollar national debt. Our national debt, thanks to 8 years of Bush and his law bending, free spending cronies, currently stands at 10.2 trillion dollars! And get this! The fucking sign ran out of room to display all the digits in that disgustingly large number! Now they have to renovate it so we can all be precisely aware of how screwed we all seem to be, right down to the exact decimal point.
