Today, the snail mail officially announced we are getting an economic boost. As taxpaying citizens, my house-mates and I are all getting some doe back. I light up into hyper drive mode and mentally salivate at all the shiny new things I require for happiness. Only America is beautiful enough to give me the money it wants me to spend.

Kirsten proposes an international trade mission to Monterey, Mexico where we will spend utilize our economic boost packages to…inject vitality and invigorate their economy. Beyond strengthening the neighborly ties, we will also offer a small glimpse of good ole fashioned, home brewed, spit-shined democratic freedom to the non-English speaking peoples of those far away lands. It’s only the right thing.

She says that Monterey may be a bit touristy for a novice, though; and adds, “people say its all applebee’d out and shit.”

Let us hope it is.
