It's more like this: You've been continuously mugged and beaten and robbed blind for the past seven years straight, and as you lay there on the cold, hard economic ground, bleeding and gasping and wondering what the hell happened to your vacation time and your health care plan and your mortgage payment, your attackers scoff and leer and toss a couple of bloodstained nickels on your pulverized face and mutter, here sucker, have some bus fare, and then they cackle and stomp away with all your loot and dignity and hope, back to the White House from whence they came.
What, too harsh? Not really. It's a lovely feeling, made even more sweetly ironic by the fact that Congress will likely soon shove through another $108 billion in war funds like a giant gallstone through our collective fiscal urethra. Right there, that's about 500 bucks for each and every adult human in America, baristas and Baptists and NASCAR fans alike.
Do you see? Your "economic stimulus" check is meaningless, an empty gesture, a trifling crumb of recompense after robbing you blind via insane gas prices, infrastructure meltdowns, massive failed wars that aren't really wars. Thanks for the bogus check, Dubya, now where can I buy a sliver of our missing national dignity? Oh, that's right.
So then. Here are your bloody nickels, America. Think of it as a "recession whippit," because trust me, its quickie high won't last long. What will you do with it? Pay off the porn bill? Hit the Vegas strip?...

Aren’t these tax rebate checks considered taxable income? We will have to report these rebates on our 2008 taxes.
He really is a terrible and deranged writer. Waste of 02.
No
So, this goober wants more Democrats and Bush’s tax cuts to be allowed to end? This is going to keep us from being beat down? Liberalism is a mental disorder.
I’m going to buy new computers with mine. Miss Morford, on the other hand, will probably blow its on amyl nitrate, sex toys, and gerbil food.

One of you married folks who don’t need it to just catch up on the past due bills should donate it to the FR April - May freepathon. It still needs $1200.
“No”
I guess I’ve heard wrong.
I wish liberals would make up their mind- are they FOR govt. taking away all our money to 'provide' us with things or against it?
I understand there is a powerful prescription for PMS these days, perhaps someone should clue Ms Morford in..

Hey, we should listen to him. If anyone is an expert on blowing, its Morf.
Do someone actually pay this Clymer to write this crap? Was this originally written in crayon?
Since the various governments are sucking the life out of the economy as it is like a Fiscal Vampire.. why not offer OUR neck to them/it..

Going to buy a new hot water tank with part of my refund. The tank’s been going out for the last couple of weeks. I wonder if those Rinai tankless tanks that Rush is always advertising are worth it? Anybody have any experience with them?
Cheer up Morph. Think of all the tweezing and manicures you can buy for yourself with the rebate. Maybe even have some leftover change for a piercing, to surprise your lover.
Either crayon or lipstick
