Everyone who is all for your government spending $345 million for Agriculture Department computers, $650 million for TV converter boxes and $2.25 billion for groups engaged in neighborhood stabilization programs to stimulate the economy and create jobs please raise your hands. Yeah I thought so.
“You’re getting $600. What can you do with that?… You go out and you buy a pair of earrings.”
That’s Michelle Obama talking about the Bush tax cuts last summer. The current legislation has deemed it appropriate to dish out $400 per person to stimulate the economy. Clearly a woman of the people with her $600-plus earrings.
More on this another time. While The Think Tank pages through 1,071 pages of said “stimulus” bill, here are some of the other things on The Think Tank’s radar this week:
In an ode to Valentine’s Day … this might be the smartest — or dumbest — otter in the world. Little guy broke INTO the zoo to hang out with a female otter.

Okay, the people at pmsbuddy.com are either on something, or onto something (Copyright The Common Man). They track when women are closing in on “that time of the month.” They say, “For women, this is a great way to give people in your life a heads-up of when you might be feeling a bit irritable without having an awkward conversation.” Okay. You might notice there is an add for 1-800-flowers.com. Timely. The site is currently tracking 20,155 “cycles.”
Speaking of Pirates, this isn’t new, but there’s an online game somewhere out there developed by a Japanese company where you can play a slot game to catch criminals on the most-wanted list. Really? Gamble and help your community at the same time? Brilliant!
Otters, Pirates and Julie Bandaras on our radar
