I've talked about this a few times before on here, but I figured I could come up with enough jokes and gags to make this interesting for an entire blog. I'd like to address a very serious (attempting to hold back a chuckle) topic here.

As some of you may know, the current President of the United States, George W. Bush, is a redneck. And, for certain reasons, such as his ignorance of the world around him, his inability to speak clearly, and an extremely unpopular war in Iraq, he is a very unpopular president. In fact, President Bush actually has a 30% approval rating, one of the worst of any sitting U.S. President in history.

And then, there's the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS. This U.S. federal government agency handles the collection of federal taxes. Due to their abusive practices, the IRS also has an extremely low approval rating. I believe it's around 5%. Also, it is widely believed that the 5% who approve of the IRS is actually the bottom 5% tax bracket which, coincidentally, doesn't pay any taxes at all.

However, these two extremely unpopular forces in our nation just scored a lot of points with me. Why? Well, the U.S. economy isn't doing too well, and instead of attacking the root of the problem, they just decided to send me 300 bucks. Why? I have no idea. They expected me to put it back into the economy or something. So, I did that.

Most of it, I spent on things I really needed, like gas and repairs for my house. As for the rest? I spent it on things I really, REALLY needed. I bought video games. After all, video games are one of the single most powerful forces of Good in this world. I felt like I was supporting the good of the entire world by plopping down a few Jacksons on some games. So, bearing that in mind, here's what I bought in the last couple weeks with my Stimulus check:

PS1: Die Hard Trilogy; Driver 2.

N64: Forsaken 64

PS2: Half Life; Red Faction 2; State of Emergency (Why not?)

Xbox: Forza Motorsport; Midway Arcade Treasures 2; The Thing

So, that's a total of 9 games. Now, due to my aggressive bargain hunting, I spent only a mere $44.26 on the entire lot. So, I still have some money left over. I think I'll either save it or spend it on something else, because 9 games is enough to hold me for a little while.

President Bush and the IRS sent me this money with the goal of stimulating the economy. I'm not sure they did that, but they damn sure stimulated my game collection. So, I salute you, you ignorant, redneck, pretzel-choking, warmongering idiot President, and you corrupt, abusive money-grabbing gaggle of monkeys known as the IRS. You will always have a friend in me. Now, go die or get fired or something.

And to you, the gamers reading this post. Thanks for furthering the force of Good known as video games, and thanks for reading my blog submission. Goodnight, and enjoy games.

P.S.: I hope I wasn't too mean to Bush and the IRS. They've been talking about a second Stimulus package... (To Be Continued...???)
