I just got a note from the IRS telling us we’ll be getting our “stimulus package”. Of course, they don’t tell you when, so I had to find it elsewhere.

I see this as a thinly veiled bribe that says to me “hey, now that I gave you $1200, we aren’t so bad, right?” For $1200 we’re to forget about the illegal war, the domestic spying, the firing of US Attorneys, outing of CIA agents, Blackwater, Abu Grabe, Gitmo, mysteriously deleted emails and a VP who, with a straight face tried to tell us all that the White House was not under anyone’s jurisdiction and therefore didn’t have to turn anything over. Ever.

Well, how about this, I’ll take the money (which if you listen to those ya-hoos at the GAO, we don’t have) and I’ll spend it on a new Denon receiver, or I’ll donate it to the DFA, or I might bet it on black but what I won’t do is be stupid enough to color my opinion of this administration. So, thanks for the money, I’ll end up having to pay it back, plus interest before long but for now, it’s a nice bit of change. Too bad they just dont seem to get that this is not the kind of change we need.
