It's not just banks and auto companies that are getting a bailout from the auto companies. We are too! Okay, it's not billions of dollars. It's not even close. But I'm certainly not going to give it back to Uncle Sam, are you?
It's called the Making Work Pay Tax Credit, and it was part of the economic stimulus bill that President Obama signed into law in February, and it's supposed to be on its way to us soon! The average single person who gets paid weekly will get about 10-15 bucks more in their paycheck. For those who are married and file jointly, you'll get 15 to 20 dollars more in your take-home pay.
There's a bunch of blah blah blah stuff about who's eligible, etc., and you can read that here.
But I bet you're more interested in what I'll spend my extra $12 bucks a week on. Here are some likely contenders.
12-pack of beer (Leinies any one?)
12 boxes of Little Debbie Snack Cakes from the Dollar Store
The new Neil Young album (Fork in the Road comes out April 7)
Half a tank of gas
2.5 books of Forever Stamps
Here is what I will not be spending my stimulus money on:
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
Last week, I decided I would try one new, healthy food a week, and asked my facebook friends to make some suggestions.
The first thing I tried was mango. I'm sure I've had other mango flavored things, and mango as part of something else, but...
There's only one thing that might be worse than the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." And that's Jonathan Suttin doing his best crooning...doing both parts. Most unpleasant.
A lot of people liked this song...
Artist: Alchemilla
Hail From: Boston
Song: 'The Wheel'
Album: Diamonds From The Penny Arcade
Sounds Like: Hole, Pearl Jam
In Their Words: "Alchemilla had been trying to write a ballad for a little while but it wasn't happening. There...
Last weeks challenge we thought went excellent! Of course we are a little biased.
The drinking song couldn't have been any better, or any less fun. We had a blast through out the whole process, and our performance rocked.
This week is an easy...
So the story goes Michael Jackson completed this song while watching cartoons with Paul McCartney. We'll just let that sink in for a moment.
Not sure what cartoons they were watching, but it must have worked because this song made it to number 2...
The Dalai Lama is back in town, sharing his message of peace and kindness with likeminded individuals, and the Wisconsin legislature. He also held a private meeting with Gov. Walker, who said he mostly listened to what His Holiness had to say (wise...
This duet by Ol' Blue Eyes and his daughter went all the way to number 1 back in 1967. It seems a little creepy that Frank and Nancy Sinatra are singing a love song. However, a lot of Triple M listeners were in the mood for it.
