What Could You Do With $42 Million Dollars?…

The IRS just spent it to send you a letter stating what you VERY likely already know in announcing that your stimulus is on the way and that you have to file an income tax return.

Just to throw out some ideas on productive uses of such a chunk of change.

– Could that “announcement money” be used to help in cities that have high populations of poor and homeless?

– Could that “announcement money” be used to help in cities that still have significant damage from natural disasters?

Frankly, it’s a lot of money, but not enough to make any dent in the infrastructure issues that came to mind. But humanitarian aide as cited above seemed to be the most likely better use.

Looks like Linda Stiff is serving as acting Commissioner at the IRS and that Henry Paulson is head at the Department of Treasury that the IRS is under. It’s not clear who/what group was immediately responsible for this spending decision.

Perhaps you’d like to contact your senator or house representative for your state to let them know how you appreciated the use of this public tax money.

Department of the Treasury

Im not even gonna ask how much is being spent to run that commercial about TV’s not working without a converter box or replacement after Feb 2009. And how could we better use that money?

Need Nader to Pick a Strong Running Mate…

What a horrible day. More screeching to come from Hill as she edged out Obama in Texas and Ohio. Straight Mex McCain runs off Huck.

What a mess…

I will watch Nader more closely now. It would be very cool to see him pick up Huck or someone of substance to finally have a respectable third party option.

Huckabee, Paul and McCain…

I continue to be MORE than annoyed as our worthless biased media tries yet again to freeze out Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul.

Mitt Romney has taken his hat out of the ring…

Romney supporters will likely go to Huckabee and some to Paul MUCH to the chagrin of the media…

We DONT want straight Mex McCain…. or Hill

Our Crooked Ass Political System…

First the democrats in SC just decided that Stephen Colbert couldnt run because they said so…

Now the media and the debate promoters are trying to freeze out Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul from the Republican nominee process…

Knock it the F off!!!!

No Stimulus for You!… and others wait til May

Sadly, if you made less than $3000 in 2007, you will NOT get a dime under the current Stimulus package. These people are too poor to spend this on necessities?

Unemployment benefits that ran out…will stay run out.

Looks like the current version will give a tax Rebate of taxes paid up to $600 for singles now…..but you wont even get stimulated til May or June.

$50 billion in incentives for businesses to buy new equipment… (No, …..you have to put the equipment in a business still located in the US…yeah)

I keep hoping that I misread something on this….
Now it has to go through the House and Senate… Perhaps, some help for those making less than $3000 or with their unemployment depleted…

Some Late Night Talk Shows Back…

Letterman, that was able to negotiate a deal with the Writers Guild union, quipped…something like….”Well it’s been two monthes and Im glad to be out of rehab”

The Foster Brooks-esque beard was in keeping with Conan O’brien…also sporting winter regalia.

Letterman later quipped…”I look like a lost hiker” haha

Robin Williams was on with Letterman and related his USO experiences in performing for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan,,,and several one night stands…..

Jimmy Kimmel, Conan and Leno were all on..sans writers.

Leno had Huckabee. Kimmel had Andy Dick

Kimmel had a deal where they played some old clips so the writers would get some residuals.

There was quite a bit from all shows as far as kissing butt to the writers. That got old pretty quick. But better than pure reruns anyway.

On Thursday night, Craig Ferguson matched wits with Huckabee. The Huck continuing to jump picket lines…interesting…
Ferguson quipped with Huckabee..something about Caucausing was something done behind closed doors…
It was a pretty good interview actually.
