I loved this one, a comic about Obama ordering the forging of a trillion dollar platinum coin.
http://boingboing.net/2013/01/09/tom-the-dancing-bug-and-a-pla.html It's from a year ago, during the debt ceiling crisis(es). The idea is that the mint has the authority to make coins in any denomination, so long as they are platinum. Obama could then, without needing anyone's permission, get a trillion dollar coin minted and plunk it in a safe. Assets would then be more than debt and the debt ceiling would not be an issue. I thought it was brilliant idea, and the comic is brilliantly executed. "I've heard tell of a coin, forged in the fiery depths of the mint... worth a trillion dollars!" Expert disagree on the legality, but it sounds like it could work. Here's the wikipedia entry on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillion_dollar_coin Not a single share. Too esoteric?
