The Simpsons' Montgomery Burns explains (sorta) the fiscal cliff
Wednesday, December 05, 2012
Oh how I dread the day that Bart, Homer and the rest of The Simpsons are no longer on the air.
But until that sad day eventually arrives, we all should be thankful not only for the animated program's skewed sense of humor, but also for its educational component.
In the video below, for example, Springfield's resident psychopath magnate explains the fiscal cliff.
OK, maybe Monty didn't quite cover everything. You can read more about the fiscal cliff in:
