The comments after the article are a hoot. Some folks really unsheathe their sarcasm and get medieval on Zero.

I particularly liked this one:

"Hard times, crises, catastrophic economy, I'm calling on all of you to make sacrifices. However, as for me and mine, we're flying to Chicago, paid for by the taxpayers, having dinner at one of the most expensive restaurants there ($120 per person price fixe, plus appetizer and drinks) and then I plan to play some hoops. The crises will wait. The bill has passed. My main concern, I hope they have fresh arugula. One set of rules for me, one for thee. And to all of you who had dinner at home to save money, or have lost your jobs, or just can't afford to go out, Michelle and I will drink a toast to you. We understand. Things will get better for you, I promise, it'll just take alot longer than we thought. Dessert menu, please."
