2008.01.24 Politics and National Defense Roundup

Folks, the more I read up on Romney, the less impressed I am with him too. I'll vote for whoever the Republicans run against Clinton or Obama, but for now I've reinstated the Fred Thompson buttons on my sidebar. They'll stay there till someone has the nomination locked in, in hopes that won't happen before the convention and everyone will come to their senses and nominate Fred.

I have very mixed emotions about the economic stimuli the feds just implemented and are getting ready to implement. I think if I were capable of standing back and examining them unemotionally I'd probably be opposed to them. On the other hand, my daughter and her husband moved into a new home just before the housing market collapsed and are struggling with two house payments; maybe the interest rate drop will make their old place easier to sell. As far as the tax rebates that are apparently coming, it's been too broke around here for too long for me to say we don't want the money. I haven't read the details of the agreement yet but it sounds to me like between my sister and her husband, Mom, me, and my 21 year old nephew we could possibly be looking at as much as a little over $2K, which we can all definitely use. I just hope it gets here soon instead of a week after I get my Social Security back-settlement and we don't need it any more. --- Update: The information I've found so far makes it sound like at least June before the rebate checks go out, and it's not even clear that Mom and I will get anything since we neither one work any more. (Send me some and I'll spend it, I promise!)

Three links I posted yesterday but want to make sure you didn't miss:
