This is so...

It's very, very cute. I agree.

I know this is the wrong place to bring this up, but on the topic of economic stimulation, I have an ax to grind:

I was totally stunned when I heard this tonight. I am as liberal as they come but this is WRONG WRONG WRONG. If a US citizen wants to make the decision to spend their tax refund paying down personal debt, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO. It is unconstitutional for the IRS to second-guess citizens this way. I'm writing my representatives.

Seriously, if this weren't actually happening, it would make a great subject for a darkly comic short story. It seems so bizarre.

Edit. Duh. I missed this when I heard it tonight. Just re-read it. Last line it "ok, check your calendars everybody." Not writing my reps after all. April fools. (I was seriously planning on writing my reps -- glad I noticed that little detail first eek.).
