Every time I checked the Fox4 web link to see when my check is coming, I always got 'We're sorry... we have no info'. Well...I typed the question in my search bar and went to one of the first three options. Then it linked me to a news station in Tucson Az. It gave me more accurate information. Most paper checks won't come til June.  Direct deposits should already be there.

If you are patient, unlike me, I guess you can wait and be surprised. But otherwise, go through the search bar process. It will give you more accurate info, I think.

I feel the economy is bad because of all the foriegn workers. When American businesses hire illegal immigrants, from any country, the money they make goes back to thier country instead of being pumped back into our economy. Every (for the lack of a better example) Mexican I work with sends a percentage of their money back to their families in Mexico. I don't know if other countries economies are bad, I doubt it, but if we employ all of these foriegn workers i.e. work visa's and such, they are just gonna pump this country dry. On top of that, when a illegal immagrant has a baby in an American hospital, I, as a taxpayer pay for it. So now we have tons and tons of workers not contributing to our suffering economy, and rising healthcare cost for people who pass the bill to Americans who are already strained financially.

So I am not truly convienced that the tax rebate will work. I would love a extra check, however, I would only spend it if I have my other bills in control.

And financing a needless war isnt helping either. When you look under the bridges and condemed housing around major cities, you don't see these same foreign workers. You see our American people, our war veterans, our American workers who have lost their jobs due to out-sourcing, cheap labor, and a bad economy.

In the end, this is just my opinion..... what do you think?

The new Russel Crowe/Denzel Washington movie American Gangstar is on bootleg all across the country. They say the picture is so clear on the bootleg that it had to be some kind of 'inside job'. I know someone who has the bootleg and I don't want to see it. It is just wrong. I don't mind someone buying a bootleg after the movie has come out, but this movie was availible at least a week before it's actual release. It is just undermining all the hard work the actors, directors, and film crew have put in. They need to eat too. And they don't make any money on these theives. I know Crowe/Washington are eating just fine, but they are amazing actors (which is an understatement). I am just saying if you love the actors and their crafts, PLEASE GO SEE THE MOVIE AT THE THEATER. Where's the dinner and a movie? Quit being cheap!!!

Yesterday I heard of a lady who poured gasoline on herself and set herself on fire in order to commit suicide.

As sad as hearing someone who is thinking about commiting suicide is..........

Gas prices are way to high to be wasting on this. She could have gave me the gas and jumped off a bridge.

I feel really bad for the MaCanns family. I hope that beautiful 4 year old babygirl will be returned with no harm done. My deal is, I go out to check my mail and leave my 6 year old son in the house. I go out to my car to get something and leave my son in the house. I go outside to get a better signal on my cell and leave my son in the house. However, I would not go to dinner and leave my son in the hotel room while I am on vacation. I may not understand all of the case so if I missed something please inform me.

I am a parent, and I have made mistakes where I kick myself later. Thank God that none of my mistakes have led to the kiddknapping of my son. I do empathize with them, I just wonder what they were thinking.

 I can't quite put it in words how I feel about this bill without sounding like a racist. All I can say right now is that I hope the bill doesn't pass. I would like to know how everyone else feels. I haven't heard any factors as to why I should open my country up to people who have came over here illegally before January 1st. I do know the basics of the bill, so don't give me an education on it. It's amnesty in a mask.

Before everyone jumps to the conclusion that the fertility clinic messed this familty up and gave this woman the wrong sperm. She probably 'volunterily' took the wrong sperm.......She probably cheated!!!!!!! Let's not jump to the conclusion that the clininc messed up here. There is absolutly no way to know for sure. The familly quoted "..everyday we look at our Baby Jessica we are reminded of this.....mistake." Yeah, mistake allright, but whose???????

"Treat others how you want to be treated."

Let's ignore all the outside factors, # of kids, priors, tags, destination, race, welfare, sex of the baby.

How would you feel if the authorities didn't believe your truth? They took you in, held you, were mean and degrading, all the while you know that you were losing or have lost your baby.

In the end Salva is a human being. She deserves to be respected and treated properly. I don't care how many kids she has, her prior arrests, tag placement, whether she was going to the store or hospitial, the fact that she is Nigerian, welfare status, or the sex of the baby.

It is none of my business!!! I pay taxes anyway. If it weren't for her. Politians would find some other waste my money. I have no right to take all those factors and judge this or any woman. If it were you or your daughter what would you want to happen? And don't say 'I wouldn't be in this situation', unless your name is God or Cleo(the psychic).

Firing the officers is extreme, but there needs to be examples set.

I like the way that the NBA handled the comments made by the former player, Tim Hardaway. I think it is sad when I hear people hate on others in the way he did. I can understand a dislike for others, but when you get on live media and rant like he did it is silly and shows he has no self control.

I guess he'll just end up in rehab like Issiah Washington. BA (Bigots Anonymous)

I heard that they will be giving Miss USA another chance. If anyone doesn't know what she did let me inform you. She was caught kissing another woman-I mean girl-I mean Miss TEEN USA who is 15!!!!! In addition to that, they were caught doing COCAINE. What an great example to send to young girls than to punish a beautiful woman who is suppose to be doing so right but doing so wrong.
Now I admit, I am a second chancer. I think that people can do good after being 'bad'. But.....when you take the Miss USA crown away from an Afro-American Vanessa Williams for posing nude (before the competition), you must be consistant. I threw the race card in a sports blog I wrote earlier, but that was just just to get people 'heated' and it worked. In this case, though, it must be said, yelled even. If Mr. Trump plans on keeping Miss Tara then go back and give Vanessa her crown back(she probably won't care though but it's just the principle). This is wrong on so many levels.

Who in the heck didn't know Michelle Rodriguez was a lesbian? I knew it when I first seen her. She's hot.

In my opinion, pick you poison. Do you want to 'kill' the zygotes, who haven't yet formed into actual babies, became citizens or made an impression on the world but do have poteitial to do anything, good or bad, meaning they could be famous doctors or axe murderers. Or let the already living people get to spend an that extra 10, 15, or 20 years with their families and continue to do good for their diseases and continue to speak out on cures and treament. It all depends, there is no 'embryo' killing without letting people die of curable diseases or letting people get cures and the the embryoes die. True, there are other forms, like adult stem cells, but we all know that that isn't as fast or effective. Obviously, I am a supporter but, and I am thnking about the life of me and my family if I were to come down with something. They would want me here and I would do anything to be here. Would your family? Or would they say, well if you have to use the embryonic stem cells then let her/him die?

I was watching the morning news and saw that Claire McCaskill only has 1/16 the funds that Jim Talent has. I don't think that it should matter if she gets out there and starts knocking on doors. I am reading the Jim McGreevey book "The Confession", and he seemed to win two elections by getting out there and talking to people even when he was more underfunded than his competition. I don't live in Missouri, but I see all those damn commercials.
