It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Free bombing money
Have just read the following story. (I deleted parts of it)
OK you lucky Alaskas, now tell us how you are going spend this. Like bombing your truck?
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Nearly every Alaska resident will receive a $919.84 check this year as their share of the state's oil riches — a $187.72 drop from last year's payout.

• Permanent Fund Dividend Division (State of Alaska)
The dividend checks are distributed every year from an oil royalty account called the Alaska Permanent Fund, created in 1976 after oil was discovered on the North Slope. Some 600,760 Alaskans are expected to receive dividends this year.
The payouts are calculated based on a five-year average of investment income derived from bonds, stock dividends and sales, and other investments. Anyone who has lived in the state for over a year is eligible.
Alaska's residents pay no state income tax and no state sales tax, and in the state's two largest cities, Anchorage and Fairbanks, not even a municipal sales tax. Dividends, paid since 1982, have ranged from $331.29 to a high of $1,963.86 in 2000.

Wish Texas had something like that.

Shhh...don't advertise this - all the illegals will be moving to Alaska to collect that along with everything else they leech off the system.
Oh, wait - maybe that'll get 'em all out of Arizona.....
