Stimulating Confusion

Even as millions of people are anxiously checking their mailboxes and bank accounts for their stimulus payments, others have received more than their fair share.

One taxpayer, a technical writer in Chicago who preferred not to give her name, said she'd already deposited her $600 stimulus payment when a second check arrived in the mail, also marked "stimulus payment" and also for $600.

The IRS said in May that about 1,500 payments were sent to the wrong accounts. In an unscientific survey of a handful of tax preparers nationwide, MarketWatch found just one who said a client had received two payments by mistake.

What a bonus! Until you have to pay it back!

Did you spend your stimulus payment? Retailers claims sales have been great!

came and went.  just one though.
My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

Actually came at a good time as our above ground pool wasn't going to last another season.

2 stimulus checks later we have a new pool.
nine eleven is a car
nine one one is an emergency service
September 11, 2001 was an attack
Never Forget, or Minimize.
