Economic Stimulus Payment
Published by clare under Australia, Govenment, society, stimulus package, Sydney, Tax on Friday, March 20, 2009
“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 the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgin.
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 or some such
thing, 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 Australian economy by spending your
stimulus cheque wisely:
If you spend that money at Kmart, all the money will go to China .
If you spend it on petrol it will go to the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer it will go to India .
If you buy a car it will go to Japan .
If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan .
And none of it will help the Australian economy.
We need to keep that money here in Australia. You can keep the money in Australia by spending
it at garage sales, going to a cricket match or footy game, or spend it on prostitutes, beer
and wine (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses that may still be
owned by Aussies.

Published by clare under CSI: Miami, Dr Phil, Jeopardy, Spellbinder, Television on Monday, March 09, 2009
Unfortunately I have been watching CSI: Miami in recent weeks. Every time it gets worse. It is basically a (c)rap music video staring some white dude doing the hokey pokey with his sunglasses. He takes the glasses off, he puts the glasses on, he takes the glasses off and he looks into the distance. And can someone explain to me why in every murder there must be female strippers, female hookers, more than 4 scenes in a strip club and some graphic girl on girl action? t makes me think television is slipping. I would welcome back Spellbinder in a heartbeat. If you don't remember / never watched Spellbinder, it was one of those bizarre nearly science fiction shows with a portal between two worlds. It was probably one of the worst shows at the time, but it was just so funny. To 'shoot' 'magic fire balls' they would use martial arts moves and slide their arms around. Watch some here. Other TOTALLY EXCELLENT shows include Jeopardy, where a group of Irish campers get abducted by aliens in the Australian outback with a bunch of video campers to document the experience. Also Maddigan's Quest was a fantasy-based television series set in a post-apocalyptic future full of children with New Zealand accents who are afraid of machines in the 'forbidden zone', also known as the forest.
And on the subject of television, I caught some of Dr Phil (aka SATAN) who had some suggestions for what to say to children, such as "I don't care". I don't care if there were words following that sentence or if he followed that up by spending millions of dollars on hookers, people rarely remember more than the first three words.
