You and your fiancee...truly a match made in heaven. :)

From Yahoo! News:

President Bush signed legislation Wednesday to rush rebates ranging from $300 to $1,200 to millions of people, the centerpiece of government efforts to brace the wobbly economy. First, though, you must file your 2007 tax return.
---------------------------------


That is sooo stupid: giving people money to spend it to stimulate the economy... :shakehead:

How about cutting the amount of income tax taken out of our weekly paychecks? That'll have more longer-term benefits for people than a one-time only check for $300... :crazy:

OK, send me your $300 then... I could make use of it :beaten:

They should send everybody some crack rocks...at least they'd be worth more than 300 dollars.

Sad. :puppydog:

Could that be one of those, where the guy lost his job or something and couldn't pay the million $ mortgage? Then again, I have a hard time staying in a house, where a family member killed himself. :(

Nice try.

Sure, I'll pocket the cash, but it's hardly a fix for a long-term problem that he created.

Quite possibly.

True.

And it'll be hard to sell for that same reason. :sweat:

That's true.

Before the recent election here, the parties were both offering tax cuts... but now we've been hit with 3 or 4 interest rate rises because of inflation. And tax cuts are going to help us how?

Right.

You're back to square one, if not zero or negative one. :sweat:

'Crow' actress arrested on shoplifting suspicion

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Bai Ling's good looks and eccentric outfits have frequently put her picture in celebrity magazines, but that doesn't mean she can take the magazines for free.

Bai Ling, seen here in a booking photo, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport.

The Chinese actress was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of shoplifting two celebrity magazines and two packets of batteries at Los Angeles International Airport. The items had a total value of $16, said Sgt. Jim Holcomb of the airport's police department.

The 41-year-old actress was detained by a store employee who summoned police, Holcomb said. She was booked for investigation of misdemeanor shoplifting and released after agreeing to appear in court on March 5.

An e-mail message seeking comment sent to Ling's agent on Thursday was not immediately returned.

Ling has appeared in such films as "The Crow" and "Anna and the King" and in the TV series "Lost."

The day of her arrest, she posted a message on her blog with a photo of herself at the airport waiting for a delayed flight. She made no mention of her arrest, instead wondering whether people were "rushing in the cold wind to work" after the Chinese New Year.

"Life is a sad song sometime but still sings the beauty for their loved ones," she wrote.

I never thought she was very good looking.

What is with the batteries?

That's right outta Seinfeld... :hehe:

Re: Bai Ling

Looks or not... did you see her in Red Corner with Richard Gere?

That girl can act.

It's always kind of bothered me that she "went Hollywood" after that movie with all the party girl nonsense.

She's worked a lot, but I don't think she's done more than 2 or 3 films since "Red Corner" that she could take any pride in.

It must suck to have all of your bad decisions just hanging out there for everyone to see.

Last thing I saw her in was a one episode gig in "Entourage" ~ an HBO comedy. I don't watch network television and very little Chinese cinema though so I don't know what other roles she may have aside from what is mentioned in the article.

WTF tho'...shoplifting 16 dollars worth of stuff? WHY?
