I thought I was getting no "stimulus" check. Instead, I got $84. I heard that the HDTV people were expecting lots of folks to spend their checks on new TVs. Anybody know where I can get a new HDTV for $84?

84.00? It probably cost them more to mail you the check!

WTF. Waste of time.

$84? Did they take out income taxes from it or something?

No, there is some phase-out formula that applies based on AGI.
