Spend baby spend.
THat was part of it too, had they gone to a local shop and bought lots of inventory, it would have been great. But they went to stores where really rich people buy their clothes (and still have plenty of money to do so) go. So the economic stimulus was really kind of lost except for a few Italian designers.

I agree with you. Still, if they want to spend their money, let them.

It would have been better if they had supported smaller local businesses and designers, but holding on to their cash isn't helping anyone. I hope they spend it all. Less money for hate-filled robo calls.

Sorry to be late to the party, but who should we blame, Tim Gunn?

You consider that a personal attack?
Your rant about Gov Palin was absolutely unhinged and baseless but I am making personal attacks?

She gave a simplistic explanation of the job of the VP which was fairly correct.
Maybe she should have been much more detailed and serious but you know what??.....
SHE WAS TALKING TO AN 8-YR OLD!!!!!!

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I saw her on CNN and she was talking abou tgetting involved with the legislators in the Senate, etc. This is not the job of the VP. The VP is part of the executive branch, not the legislative.

LOL. Actually I think Tim Gunn could probably find Palin a decent wardrobe for under $10K.

I agree with that, I actually am thrilled that they went to the most elite stores in town for the moose killin mama, irony is fun.

VPs are prohibited from "being in charge of the senate" they preside over tie votes only. they are not allowed to schedule votes, participate in normal votes, write policy, rules, or legislation. Just get over it. She was wrong and does not know what she is running for.
