I just need to get out of an apartment and back to a real house. I like to
do 48 hour non-stop aerobic gardening. My doctor used to comment on what
good shape I was in, but he never believed it was all due to yardwork. I
invited him over for a little punishment, but he declined the offer.

I used to rough house with my # 2 guy but he kind of outgrew me. I may
have
to get back into the gym or at least buy a Bowflex and toughten up.

You know how Cato used to jump out of closets & armoirs to attack
inspector
Clousseau in the Pink Panther movies? My son did that to me last night,
just
for grins. After wrestling for a couple of minutes, I went to grab his
arm
REALLY fast. He moved the arm, and I basically slugged what was behind
it -
his hip bone. Crunch. He thinks it's funny. But, he requested steak for
dinner tomorrow - the perfect accompaniment to "NYPD Blue". He doesn't
realize yet, but he's making dinner while I kick back with a bourbon.
:-)
I
might advise him with lighting the charcoal, but then again, he might
look
good with cajun blackened hair.

Gee...I'm typng from 24" away with my pecker, and I'm still a better
writer
than Dave Hall. :-)

Because I fractured a bone in my hand last night and I'm trying to
type
with
a cast on, I'll let you get away with that silly comment for now.
But
I'll
be back for you, Mr Molar. :-)

A tax credit or tax deduction is *not* a subsidy. I'm only getting

money I shouldn't have paid in the first place...but it's still my
money.


Of course a tax credit or deduction is a subsidy. You need a better
dictionary.

A tax credit is a subsidy? No more so than if you overpay any private
sector entity. It's my money, they are simply giving me back some of
my money. If you paid your car insurance, and after you sent the
payment in, the premium went down, so they send a portion of that back
to you, would you then say that the insurance company is subsidising
your next road trip?

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Stop the presses!!! basskisser and I agree
for once! I really like the insurance premium analogy. What's Harry have
to say about *that*?

(basskisser, please don't tell me that you thought *I* said a tax credit
isn't a subsidy. Harry is the one who said it)

How about the ridiculous break you can get for buying a Hummer? What label
would you apply to that?

An unfortunate loophole.

Well Doug, in your case that would be desperate and lonely.

Nope, I really don't care who said what. Fact remains, a tax credit is
NOT a subsidy. They are simply giving back something that is mine. No
more than if I loaned you a wrench, and you returned it, after using
it. Would that be a subsidy for my tool collection? No, it was already
mine!

Welcome to the dark side, basskisser. Doesn't it feel good to promote
conservative economic policy!

If you are in favor of 'conservative economic policy' then you are
turning against Bush, right?
