Don’t you insult Curious George like that!!!!!
j/k
Ever notice how it was politically correct to compare photos of one president to monkeys but not another?
The last one reminds me of a certain little girl who wanted to pee standing up. Sometimes the answers are the easy ones. LOL
That was my first thought.
I could use the OFST today. I'm in tax rebate rant mode. According to our tax software, we're getting the grand total of...$32. That's not our refund, mind you. We're not getting a refund. That's our REBATE. And no, we don't make beaucoup $$$. We're just both working with no kids at home to claim as deductions. It really sucks. I was going to buy another gun.
Hope those of you getting rebates have fun spending my money. Buy American.
yeah, i’ve thought about doing that.
for me, it would have to be a separate account and it would have to be out-of-sight, out-of-mind...
NEVER argue with your wife.......

Just dicker
(now copaliscrossing can start crawling out to the dog house)!!! LOL

If you don’t understand the Democrats’ version of tax refunds, then this will help:
50,000 people went to a baseball game, but the game was rained out. A refund was then due.
The team was about to mail refunds when a group of Congressional Democrats stopped them and suggested that they send out the ticket refunds based on the Democrat National Committee’s interpretation of fairness.
Originally the refunds were to be paid based on the price each person had paid for the tickets. Unfortunately that meant most of the refund money would be going to the ticket holders that had purchased the most expensive tickets. This, according to the DNC, is considered totally unfair. A decision was then made to pay out the refunds in this manner:
People in the $10 seats will get back $15. After all, they have less money to spend on tickets to begin with. Call it an “Earned Income Ticket Credit.” Persons “earn” it by having few skills, poor work habits, and low ambition, thus keeping them at entry-level wages.
People in the $25 seats will get back $25, because it “seems fair.”
People in the $50 seats will get back $1, because they already make a lot of money and don’t need a refund. After all, if they can afford a $50 ticket, they must not be paying enough taxes.
People in the $75 luxury box seats will each have to pay an additional $25 because it’s the “right thing to do”.
People walking past the stadium that couldn’t afford to buy a ticket for the game each will get a $10 refund, even though they didn’t pay anything for the tickets. They need the most help. Sometimes this is known as Affirmative Action.
Now do you understand?
If not, contact Representative Nancy Pelosi, Senator Harry Reid, Senator Ted Kennedy or Senator Hillary Clinton for assistance.
Have you seen the new $5 bills? They’re purple! I’m a big purple fan, but I haven’t decided whether I’m totally sold on these, yet.
“People walking past the stadium that couldn’t afford to buy a ticket for the game each will get a $10 refund”
This is called election day “walking around money”.
