stimulating

{I just read Blogger's notice about a scheduled outage as "scheduled outrage"!}

I dreamed last night that President Obama's stimulus plan involved him personally standing out in the street with a huge bundle of crisp new money, handing stacks of varying thicknesses to deserving individuals and organizations. He seemed quite happy about it, and I think he was checking things off on a clipboard as he went along. It didn't seem odd to me that he had no security and that people weren't mobbing him for the money. It also didn't occur to me to wonder how the recipients' worthiness was being determined. I don't remember getting a stack of bills of my own; I was just observing.
