Last year I spent mine on Phillies tickets , 32 tickets all together, baseball players need financial help too!

Czuch: I spend my money when I want to.  I just bought my wife a new computer (lap top) and we just purchased round trip flights to Arizona.  Car rental too.  So that will put some bucks back into the economy.  So I've more than spent that money but on my terms and not on the governments.  I never buy something just cuz I have the money (the government could learn from that).  You should see the truck I drive.  I could buy a new one outright but why?  Better off in the bank.  I say good for me and bernice!  ;)

Czuch:

I agree... I used mine on a 6-month dosage of Viagra..I was under the impression it was to be used for stimulation...

Artful Dodger:

Whey did they do that? The US did something similar. We got 1200 dollars from the knucklehead government. They wanted to stimulate the economy. I put it in the bank for a rainy day.


I had heard that a lot of people hadnt spent their money like the government had hoped.... I personally went straight to sears and bought a new lawn mower and refrigerator!!


I dont know what people get from holding on to their money, really??? Its meant to stimulate the economy, and its money you didnt have before anyway, why not help out the economy and spend away???

You say you believe in trickle down economics, yet you horde a government stimulus incentive???


Shame on you AD and bernice too!

anastasia:  that pretty much sums up this stimulus package.  It's our money and congress is wasting it.  Most news (if not all) agencies agree.  It needs serious trimming.

Artful Dodger: I remember...now this was YEARS ago tho..I was maybe 13...my Dad and I were watching the nightly news ( I always had a thing for that,lol) and they were reporting on bad government spending...they reported on the one,it was to study the flow rate of ketchup....to this DAY I wonder why anyone would need,or care to have to spend millions of dollars on that...me and Daddy joked about that up untill he died

Jim Dandy:  Almost.  It needed beans and a fire pit. 

Artful Dodger: I thought it was a classic Mel Brooks type skit

Jim Dandy:  It was like a modern day Monte Python mixed with a little Marx brothers and Chaplin thrown in. 

Bernice:That is so crazy.  Whey did they do that?  The US did something similar.  We got 1200 dollars from the knucklehead government.  They wanted to stimulate the economy.  I put it in the bank for a rainy day.

Foxy Lady:It will be in my tummy if I find it!

Bernice: and only small minds would notice

Jim Dandy: small things amuse small minds ROFL................

Bernice: What are you gonna do with your money?

Bernice:   I grew some hair  lol

Artful Dodger: as has every other for the past...oh,I dunno...FOREVER...untill we all carpool to Washington and crash the gates and forcefully take back DC..not to much I can do,is there?

Artful Dodger: hey sexy....love your pic :)

Artful Dodger: It comes on at 1am,I like to fall asleep listening to it.I don't bring my laptop to the bedroom

Jim Dandy:Bernice alert!!!   Mind your P's and Q's.

Jim Dandy:yeah but it's on the net.  Do you have dialup or cable?

Artful Dodger: I've been a C to C addict for over a decade,but since I moved my home is in a radio dead zone.I pick up 640 at about 60% most nights,sometimes not at all

Listening to COAST TO COAST AM WITH GEORGE NOORY
at the moment. 

Artful Dodger: Her or Zombie Lady

Jim Dandy:  hmmmm, I missed that one.  Who made that comment?  Coulter?

Artful Dodger: The comment that surprised me,was the high achievment level of adopted kids.I had never though about it,but in reflection,it makes sense.

Jim Dandy:I doubt that.  But she did sound like she had written her response.

I can tell you from experience that what that caller said is so very true.  I've seen dozens of examples of that sort of thing.  Kid has a kid, is irresponsible, and grandparents raise the child.  Meanwhile, the "mother" gets all kinds of government assistance.  My brother is one of those grandparents.  He's been raising two of his grandkids (and he's a step dad).  Coulter is spot on with regard to single parents (statistically speaking).  There's always exceptions but exceptions don't make the rule.  Society would do well to pay attention to the research she cites. 

Artful Dodger: That caller must have been a plant,she sounded hypnotized

Jim Dandy:  I listened to the entire interview.  She's great and her thesis is right on.  And she was very civil too.  The caller had a great line about a boil.....

Mousetrap:  depending on who I play, so am I 

Artful Dodger: Only trouble is I am crap at chess

Jim Dandy:  She's one smart lady and her book Guilty is right on.  ;)

Vikings:  

Mousetrap:  Politics is like a chess game.  When you have the upper hand, it's fun to watch your opponent squirm.  

what a way to wake up

Vikings: Oh dear it was bound to happen. They made too much of him.

It appears that Obama's approval rating has slipped from somewhere between Messiah and Ghandi down to Mount Rushmore, at this rate he will be considered human by next week and only 6'3'' tall the following week

Artful Dodger: Dont they all do that lmbo!

Czuch:  Yeah, it was OK when the shoe was on the other foot.  but now that we've changed shoes......

Jim Dandy:   This will haunt him.  Very poor judgment on his part and he's much smarter than that.

anastasia:  You should be outraged.  They are stealing the American people blind.

Czuch: 'ere 'ere...LOL
