[shamefaced confession]
Uh…actually, on the check before this one, I was only paid for 72 hours. So when I was looking at the current check and thinking I was being paid for an hour less, I was actually being paid for seven hours more.

Dubya is still a fucker, though.
OH YEAH!!! Well Clinton was a rat-bastard with no God Damned morals or integrity, so to HECK WITH YOU!
(just thought I’d jump into the fray with a rant of my own)
Dear George W.:
Thanks for the 300 bucks. I’ve got it earmarked for some bread. And maybe a circus or two.
Yours,
John Q.Liberal
PS: I didn’t vote for you last time, and I won’t vote for next time. Just thought you should know.
As of June 23, I received an $11,000 a year pay cut.
They gave my slot to a Heroin addict ex-con who should never have been hired in the first place, and falsified his employment application.
He just got busted Monday for possession. Again.
This must mean I’m going to get shit-canned, so my paycheck can go to him. You know, to help him out with his legal fees.
Monster.com is my newest best friend.
Tax refund? That’s the least of my worries.
Uke: uhm…can I come over to your place and clean up your rumpus room when your done rolling around? I won’t care if they’re, uh, sticky or anything. Nothing a quick turn through the washing machine won’t fix.
Sua: come next DopeFest, I’m bringin’ a gun and shakin’ you down for spare change! So no pro bono 'til then. 
A question: Am I going to have to claim this refund as income on my 2001 taxes?
Whoever runs on the “Simplified Tax Plan” platform next election gets my vote.
You don’t have to declare it as income on your next tax return.
I get $1 more per pay check - whoop dee doo. Not even worth it.
I’m donating my $300 to Planned Parenthood.

Hey, Sax! Great to see you back!
Hey, Uke!! It was nice to see you in the 'hood a few weeks ago. Banjo is adorable.
Can I borrow $50?
Hey, I think we’re all overlooking something very important here - Medea’s Child is still looking to be cast!!
Personally, I wouldn’t mind casting her for Trophy Wife as, hey, it’ll double my tax refund!
I also wouldn’t mind casting her as Slutty Mistress for, um, other reasons.
Get rid of the DC crowd? You mean 86ing RTFirefly, ExTank, SqrlCub, Olentzero? Well, at least you’ll spare us NoVa types, I hope.
I’m opposed to the tax cut, but like the filthy hypocrite I am, I’m going to spend the $300 bucks I’m getting. I would save it, but since I am currently unemployed (thank you again, IT sector), it’s going for rent, groceries, go-go boys, and so on.
We’re spending our $600 on beer and cigarettes and maybe some stuff made in China. We’ll be long dead before we realize that medicare and social security went bust because Duhbya couldn’t resist robbing the surplus to buy votes. The silver lining in all of this is that my kids are going to have to pay for all of this by the time they’re my age and the little bastards have it coming.
I got my, “Fuck you, taxpayer who won’t be getting a check” letter today. Suffice it to say that while I was expecting it, there’s plenty of greedy teens and early 20somethings who won’t be, and who will remember the fucking over that they got when it comes time to vote in 4 years.
How is this a fucking over? If you paid taxes in 2000 and you weren’t someone’s dependent, you got a check. If not, you didn’t. Can you complain about not getting a tax refund if you didn’t pay taxes? If you are someone’s dependent, hit up yer mom for a raise in your allowance.
Note also that if you do owe taxes for 2001 after not owing in 2000, you can claim the credit, you just won’t be getting it now - you have to wait until you file your taxes next year. Poor baby. Here, have some K-Y.
