Must be nice.

Their base salaries don't seem ridiculous. Hell, I make more than two of the people on the list. My bonuses don't quite add up to theirs though

Dan Snyder owns Six Flags...point and laugh.

Sbarro is expensive, no wonder why they won't survive. 5 bucks a slice? farg off.

Sirius will be missed. Anyone who has it will tell you it's extremely difficult to listen to terrestrial radio.

Blockbuster has been busted by Netflix. I was kinda' sceptical about it at first, but now that I've subscribed I wish I had done it years ago.

That would really suck if Six Flags Magic Mountain disappeared....that is a staple of the southland...wow....many childhood memories there...forcing dad to take us and then my dad calling my brother and I out for being too Hoyda to get on the roller coasters. My pussiness of rollercoasters ended that day coincidentally.

Quote
This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is
a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A
format:

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
A. It is money that will be sent to taxpayers.

Q. Where this money come from?
A. From taxpayers.

Q. So I'm getting back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition
TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by
spending your stimulus check wisely:

If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.

If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.

If you purchase a computer it will go to India.

If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and
Guatemala (unless you buy organic).
