Default Support America! Spout rubbish!

I have adopted a new habit...

Because of this $600 tax rebate we're all getting (which Bush hopes we'll all spend quickly) I have decided to no longer use boring terms like 'buy' or 'buying.'

I am no longer going to 'buy' anything. I am instead 'Stimulating the American Economy.'

For example: 'I am going to Stimulate the American Economy' at that diner for lunch. Wanna come?'

Or: 'I'm just popping to A&P to Stimulate the American Economy with a quart of milk and a dozen eggs.'

Who's with me???

Which could be construed as sexual harassment of an inanimate object. Depending on your vocation (if you are an accountant), it might be the best bet for a bit of the other.

Go for it!

It's still not polite to make assumptions! I'm pleased it worked out for them, though!

You're married (or at least your avatar is), so wouldn't it be $1200.00?
More stimulation. Actually, throw in a couple of kids, not literally of course, and over-stimulation may be occuring.
I can hear the cash registers ching-ching from here......

If Bush really wanted to make sure folk bought stuff with their dosh then he would've handed out Gift Cards instead of cold, hard cash, to be used at the same stores which will benefit from some decent tax breaks.
