"[NEW YORK] The agency that mails out coupons for digital TV converter
boxes expects to eliminate its wait list in two and a half weeks, an
official said Thursday."

The story:

*Nice to hear that the stimulus package is already trickling down to
benefit the unemployed. Watching TV should keep everyone's mind off of
the economy.


I'd rather use work to distract myself, besides I'll need the income to pay
for my neighbors' homes, cars, TV's, cellphones, healthcare, dinner and
entertainment. That's just the bills congress passed this week, who knows
what I'll have to pay for next week.


Me too, living within my means and saving for retirement really worked
out. I am really glad I can help out people who bought a house they
couldn't afford or maybe speculated in real estate and lost or even
those poor folks who greedily scammed the system with their banks or
brokerages and need our money to pay their $50 Million bonuses for the
great work they did.

The blue team is really doing a good job showing us how stupid we were.
The best comment I heard was from Dennis Miller. He mentioned that many
of us donate to various overseas charities where we get letters from
individuals telling us how they were able to go to school or make
advances in their life and they also included a picture. So Miller asked
since Obama and the rest of the blue team want half of the country to
pay for the other half will we get a picture of who we are supporting?
