Don't believe me? Go here.

Under the Bush plan, single taxpayers would be eligible for a $300 rebate, married filers $600, and heads of household $500. Attached to the proposal is a rider, penned by Bush himself, stating, "Plus, we also will invade Iraq right away, everyone promises."
As my friend who forwarded this said, "For once, I can't tell if it's a joke." [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

To ensure public support, the following will appear in fine print below the endorsement line on the back of each check: "By signing and cashing this check, the above is hereby indicating his or her consent to a U.S. invasion of Iraq, and will refrain from attending protest rallies or committing any other act that could reasonably be construed as an expression of disapproval of said war."
Point of order. A check is a "negotiable instrument." It is an unconditional promise to pay. If it carries any obligation, it is a contract, not a check, and therefore invalid. Bush needs better lawyers.
