‘Economic Stimulus’ Passes on Friday the 13th

February 14th, 2009 · 5 Comments

I’ve never been a big fan of horror films, but a lot of similarities exist between history’s most-successful horror-flick franchise, “Friday the 13th,” and the so-called  “Economic Stimulus Package” approved by both houses of Congress on Friday the 13th and expected to be signed by President Barack Obama next week.
