Rush Limbaugh is actually defending the fact that bailout money is going to executive bonuses?
Q. Rush is actually defending the fact that bailout money is going to some companies who give their execs huge bonuses. (Obama put a 500k salary cap on some of them but it doesn't apply to everyone) Rush gives us a lame argument that "it's good for the economy" and "it's only a small portion of the bailout money anyway"... Of course Rush always sides with the rich. Why should bailout money be used to give CEO's bonuses? Tax payers shouldn't be funding bonuses for execs. That's not what that money is for.

A. Have you noticed Obama and congress acting so outraged and surprised, but today we learn that he signed the very bill that quite clearly made those bonuses legal the $787 billion stimulus package he had traveled around the nation promoting. The bill includes restrictions on executive compensation, but creates an exception for bonuses contractually obligated before February 11 of this year. The provision, and the exception, were inserted into the bill by the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Chris Dodd (D, Conn.), who has received more than $100,000 from AIG employees in the last 20 years, had written and inserted the relevant provision, with the relevant loophole. How can he, the president, or anyone else who voted for the… [cont.]

How long does rush shipping take when you are sending your SAT scores on Collegeboard.com?
Q. I just got my November SAT score and I was wondering if I should pay the extra 27 dollars to rush ship them. I also have to send my scores to UCSD as well. Help?

A. I don't know, but in my case my scores were sent today. I also took the SAT in November. I requested to send my stuff with the thing that allowed you to send it for free until 9 days after the test. So i logged on today to the account I made for a certain college that I applied for, and it didn't have the message it had before (that they don't have my SAT score). So i'm guessing they've already gotten it today. And aren't the scores sent electronically? it doesn't seem to make sense to me to rush it.

What time is considered rush hour on the ny subway?
Q. Some people are really ticked off that moms bring strollers on the subway during rush hour. I'm taking a trip to manhattan soon, and I just want to know which hours I should avoid the subway. Also, do kids ride the subway free? What ages? Mine are 4 and 1.

A. I would say, Monday through Friday, rush hours are 7-10am and 3-6pm, and, you're right, if you don't have to, bringing a stroller onto a crowded NY Subway at those times is really not a good idea. As to whether your kids can ride for free, sure, but do remember the NY Subway and Bus slogan from years ago: "Little enough to ride for free? Little enough to ride your knee!" and try not to take up any extra seats unnecessarily, OK? Good luck, and the link below is to a webpage titled "How to Get on a New York City Subway Car During Rush Hour," which is a definite art unto itself...
