  • The Stimulus Dilemma

    "I invested it in my t-shirt business TCat Designs:

    The Stimulus Dilemma
    (sung to the tune of “ If I Only Had A Brain”)

    I could spend it all on flowers,
    Or a massage to last for hours
    To take away my pains.
    But that seems so very blasé
    There must be a greater way
    To stimulate my stimulus

    Maybe a coat that’s made from llamas
    Or a one way ticket to the Bahamas
    Would Dubya really approve?
    Those choices seem neurotic,
    I should be more patriotic
    To stimulate my stimulus

    Oh I should stop and think
    And not just spend it on food and drink
    Should I pay off that big Visa bill?
    Or donate it,
    to Barak or Hil

    But would the President approve
    If I made such a move?
    To help the other side.
    No I’ll save it for a rainy
    Would that put a smile on Cheney?
    I must stimulate my stimulus.

    I could drag my cats to the vet
    Or see an opera at the Met
    Would that help the economy?
    Maybe a Lowe’s shopping spree
    With 300 bucks that’s free
    I must stimulate my stimulus

    There’s that piece of art I like
    Or maybe a new bike
    Is that really practical?
    I shouldn’t be so rash
    When spending this special cash
    How do I stimulate my stimulus??

    Oh I could get a rise,
    In that place between my thighs
    But that’s $15 for one blue pill
    On second thought--
    I’ll do it myself

    Now I sit in such derision
    On how to make my decision
    Georgie! Give me a sign!
    I know! I’m such a whiz!
    I’ll invest it in my biz
    Let’s stimulate TCat Designs!! "

  • Stimulating One's Shopping Engine

    "I hired a graphic artist to create this logo, then made it available to resale, thrift, and consignment shops across the country to stimulate their sales. They can use it for staff T-shirts, eco-tote bags, and so on. Being local businesses, and helping their local neighbors recycle goods, is good for the economy, the ecology, and of course independence from foreign oil, polluting energy use...heck, shopping local might even mean a nice healthy walk downtown where you might even meet a neighbor! Now THAT's stimulating."
