And The Guardian (come on! The Guardian? How the hell do the Brits know *feces* before we do???): The rebates would phase out gradually for individuals whose income exceeds $75,000 and couples with incomes above $150,000, aides said. Individuals with incomes up to $87,000 and couples up to $174,000 would get partial rebates. The caps rise higher for individuals and couples with children.

I mentioned the potential checks to the wife yesterday, and she got all sorts of crazy ideas about donating it to charity. I felt like a *8==>* for already having the new pipes for my bike picked out. The reality, though, is if we don't donate it or just put it in savings (realizing full well that's not the point of it), I'll probably end up with some lame new end table or something.

I'm like totally buyin' stuff.
I would be too, but apparently I'm no longer middle class and won't be getting chit. So, when you're all out getting your new iGadgets - keep it to your damned selves - I'm sensitive that way. Poo. are you now less motivated to work hard and be successfull ? Well, that should not have been my leading argument - but it does have an affect. For instance, I'm supposed to be working right now. Instead, I'm triple checking that I won't be getting chit and as a result - still not working. In the next few moments, I'm going to go look at all the things I could have bought but now cannot - I'm going to sulk about it... and still not work. Bah!

Well, you self-centered prick, why don't you buy ME a full exhaust system? Runs about $1200. You get to pick out pipes, she gets to "donate" the funds. Win-win, I say.

M. Le Fuzz, didn't Jesse decide that because we had a budget surplus, every Minnesotan should get a check for three hundred bucks, and we've been in a deficit ever since?

I'd have to check but I believe you're right. IIRC, we got to pay federal taxes on that little check as well.

Well, there's his mistake right there! Don't hand out the billions in rebates when there's a surplus! Always when there's a deficit. Can this Administration teach you nothing?

By definition, anything that got Hannity into a spittle soaked rant about the 'Handouts' to the 'Non Productive' members of society can't be all bad, but I'm really struck by the 160 year old words of Alexis De Tocqueville: “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money”No *feces*, it's time for the quadrennial vote buy from the folks in DC. Me, I'm going to Vancouver, British Columbia CANADAand blow my 300 bucks on strippers and maybe a WESCO race. If I'm lying, I'm dying.
