Wipeout!

The government of Venezuela, embarrassed by shortages of toilet paper in that country earlier this year, decided to seize control of a toilet-paper manufacturing facility. National guard troops will be stationed at the factory for 15 days.

A number of folks denounce this move as socialism or as the kind of totalitarian action dictators take when a nation's economic policies create shortages. Possibly, but given the most common product of the politicians who make up government, I have another name for a government-controlled toilet paper factory:

Synergy.
