Slog - Comments on How Was It? Stimulus Checks http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/how_was_it_stimulus_checks The stimulus check testimonials, in the post below, are so wild! I went out last week, in downtown Seattle, to see how random people were spending their refunds, and it seems like people here are buying, uh, simpler things - things like shoes, food, horses, MAC lipstick, plane tickets, and big bags of weed......

There's something satisfying about giving GWB's $$$ to a bunch of Dems :)

The remainder went to savings, backpacking gear, beer, and beer & tequila for my friend with the green thumb. Money well spent, all around. :)
