If and when I get stimulated, it's going towards a new shotgun.

In case you haven't read the fine print of that Act that "stimulates"... Military retired pay is going to be taxed at a lower rate now. For example, my federal taxes on my retirement pay (pension) went from around $75 to $13. Here's the kicker. It all counts as income at the end of the year. So, you pay taxes on it, without having taxes withheld. Oh.... the $250 is also taxable.

Now tell me how stimulated you are by that stupid fucking retards' stimulus.

Here's a good question. If I accept the check for $250, does that mean that he has the authority to fire me too?

Okay. I'll recheck the DAV document I received.

Just got my warning order in the mail from the VA on this.

"This payment will not affect the amount of your regular VA benefit, or any other Federal benefit, nor will the Internal Revenue Service consider it as taxable income."

Sweet. Now the only question is: 1 $250 hooker or 250 $1 hookers?
