Double-dip nightmares

To my knowledge the phrase "double-dip" was not uttered during today's confirmation hearing for Ben Bernanke, but that doesn't mean that the Fed chairman and/or elected officials weren't thinking about it (this cartoon spotted over at Jesse Felder's Posterous where this one with the last two Fed chairman was pretty good too).
Of course, it would be pretty hard to top the tumult that we experienced during the election of a year ago, but that doesn't mean it can't happen again.
