Yes, ladies and gentleman! I may now mingle with the ranks of the wealthy! And to think, I had somewhere from $7 to $14 in my checking account like the little people only a few days ago. (Yes, I have a hard time keeping up with it exactly.) I gritted my teeth, praying that there wasn't going to be some purchase deducted that I missed!
My tax refund was supposed to come in tomorrow, but heaven smiled upon me AND IT CAME IN TODAY!
Giddy, I say, I am positively giddy. Don't stand too close to me, any heat sensitive people, because I am flush with cash!
I am going to eat at a Mexican restaurant. I won't go crazy and get the fajita skillet, but I MAY get a dessert.
I might buy A NEW PAIR OF PANTS!
I won't have to scrimp and save to afford flea medication for my precious pets!
I can better afford the gas to go to my new second job!
I can get my car fixed!
Problems with the government? What problems? As long as I can buy booze, I ain't worried. Guatanamo and deficit and health care/healthcare, no big deal. (But I may need to save this refund for a fine in case I still can't afford insurance 4 years from now).
I've got mine, so you get yours any way you can.
(This must be what the elite feel like.)

Trig--You are so right. Thousandaires come crashing back down into reality in a few weeks. I actually can't stretch this far enough.
Littlewillie--They are the party of family values...

Oh yeah...best of all....Buckley's "conservative philosophy" is simple, simple-minded, and simplistic: Rich people are better than everyone else. Period. I thought surely there was more to his philosophy, but apparently not. Oh, yeah, and to add to this, Buckley was a devout Catholic who attended Mass frequently. Of course, we can well imagine what sort of Christian Buckley was if his entire philosophy consisted of believing the wealthy were better than everyone else....
As Napoleon said so well, "Religion is the only thing keeping the poor from murdering the rich." At least Napoleon knew what a tool of control religion was. Notice how few billionaires attend church or are the least bit religious....hmmmmm......
