and being fortunate enough to be free of extraordinary budget constraints, my general level of consumption changed slightly at the time the rebate was announced. So, a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

The feds can just take the $ direct, that is what happened to me. I do owe on student loans so I really can't complain. Though I might have muttered a bit when I first was notified.

Mind burning it down while you're out there? There's one big building I wouldn't mind being turned into a wilderness preserve.

You are all bad Americans. George Bush wants you to buy new stuff. It's called a stimulus package because it's supposed to stimulate the economy. It doesn't do that if you don't buy stuff you don't need. If our economy continues to tank, it is going to be all your fault.

to make up for Olyblog's "rock throwing."

really?

Submitted by Rob Richards on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 9:01am.

rock throwing? That's an appropriate association?

Oh, don't get started on "association"

Submitted by Guglielmo on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 9:28am.

That's a Mike thread. Yes, "rock throwing " might be a little over the top, but so was treating the "story" as if it belonged on the front page. One exageration spawned another I suppose. Absolutely preposterous! Now, you can turn this around and focus on me or my analogy if you like. I invited that by posting this. I'll just let my earlier objections stand for themselves and let it go at that. Good timing though. Sunday is Mother's Day!

I love you, Jim

Submitted by Rob Richards on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 3:18pm.

And I'll be sure to send you a card on Sunday.

Well, Sunday is my brithday too by the way.

Submitted by Guglielmo on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 4:07pm.

...kiss kiss.

Well Happy Birthday!

Mine is on Tuesday.

BTW, my rebate will either go on back taxes, or a Marlin .45/70 guide gun.
