MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Posted July 3, 2008
Selling flags not made in the U.S. of A. is apparently illegal in Minnesota. Let's celebrate our freedoms to do things like buy flags made in other countries ... oops. Democracy at work! Happy 4th of July!

1. You *may* invite people up? What type of screening process is there?
2. Remember a couple of months ago when Free Tibet flags were being manufactured in China?
3. If I buy fabric and whatnot while in Canada during an upcoming trip and then make the flags in my hotel room and then bring them back to MN and sell them is that illegal? I need arts and crafts to do while watching focus groups, dammit!

1) it depends on how many people show up. if I've already got like 15 people in my little studio, I probably shouldn't bring anymore. also I don't want the roof to collapse.
2) no, but that's hilarious
3) maybe. be nice or I'm calling the cops on you.

will you have your model train set up? cuz I might ask my mom if I can come over and play.
I don't have a model train yet ):
it's one of those things that will have to wait until I get a better job that pays more than a subsistance wage.

wait wait, so ... flag burning is still legal, right?
so I can buy an AMERICAN MADE AMERICAN FLAG and burn it, right?

not that I intend to, I just want to know hypothetically

YOU don't have a train set? What do you think GWB gave you that $600 for?
And you don't need to burn a flag -- your communist canadian emoticons already show how much you hate america
he gave it to me for ... a playstation?
oh dear, I messed up ...

Speaking of that, how come my check hasn't come yet? I voted for the guy twice, I want my check NOW.

The last batch of paper checks goes out on July 11th.
man, kevs, I got my direct deposit stimulus injection and spent it like two months ago already. I definitely didn't vote for him.
maybe you should think long and hard about that.

I didn't vote for the guy and I didn't get a check at all. Apparently those of us that actually make money and keep this economy going can't be trusted with $600 to buy an American made flag.

no, you're supposed to know how to hide your money in tax shelters in the cayman islands or zurich so you don't pay taxes on it at all.

I thought the full title was

GOD DAMN IT.
maybe YOU did it, dougie!
but they abbreviated the title because rich guys are in a hurry and never got to the part about yachting.

You may not be able to get the retroactive priveleges, but you might be able to swing some of the other ones.
Rich people are just like everyone else, except with more money and power and happiness. I think their cars are better too.

I got an important letter from the IRS about my stimulus check yesterday, and they say that it should arrive by Saturday. Thanks for that important information, a check in the mailbox on Saturday wouldn't have spoken for itself!

actually, I think they're found to be LESS happy on average once they pass a certain threshold of rich.
but I know those things are open to me, except I'd have to work much much harder than most of these snotty assholes born into it. and someone in a poor villiage in africa would have to work like a zillion times harder than me. but this is america, so let's forget about those guys.
I don't know if I had a point here.

Ours arrived Monday. Put it all in savings.

DouglasG, apparently the IRS is at least 8 weeks behind schedule on stimulus check payments so I would ignore what you read on their website.

Also, all the rich people I know smell like chocolate chip cookies. Except the asshole ones who smell like baby powder. And the evilest ones who smell like fresh ink (because they roll around in money 24/7).

Professor Splash is a massive cheater!
There is a huge foam pad under that kiddie pool. If he wants to jump into 12" of water into a pool set up on a concrete sidewalk I'll start to think about respecting him.

Our stimulus check just went right back to the IRS since we owe a chunk this year. So we stimulated the IRS.

I got my stimulus notification letter from the IRS a week after receiving my stimulus payment via direct deposit. I love how government is so well coordinated. Don't you?
BT (without Lee, but with a business partner) is buying the Taste Of Minnesota. I wonder if this means the end of Vic Tedesco's musical career...

That's like when I got a notification letter from the Census Bureau to notify me I'd be getting the American Community Survey in my mailbox. Then a few days later I got the survey. Then a few days later I got a reminder to return the survey.

I have already resigned myself from never receiving my stimulus package. They have been spending money willy-nilly sending people these mostly worthless notices that I fear they won't have any money left for those of with ill chosen SSNs.
