Hey Bloggers!

Hot off the press… It’s time for ‘Beat 360°.’

Everyday we post a picture - and you provide the caption. Our staff will get in on the action too.

Tune in every night at 10p ET to see if you are our favorite! Can you Beat 360°?

Here is today’s ‘Beat 360°’ pic of the day: Vice President Dick Cheney tours the Philadelphia Financial Center, which disburses payments on behalf of federal agencies… Cheney says the economic stimulus checks going out to more than 130 million Americans are “a shot of energy at the right time and in the right way.”

Beat 360°

Have fun with it.

Destroy the ones for everyone who makes over $100,000 a year. And, double the ones for everyone who makes under $25,000. I want to be remembered for doing something decent.

Bill, New London, CT   May 8th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

If that one’s not going to Haliburton, I’ll shoot ya!

Ryan W, Los Angeles   May 8th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

And this is the machine that is currently keeping my heart pumping. Hopefully it will also keep McCain alive a few extra years.

Andrew, Overland Park, KS   May 8th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Cheney training for his new career because he will be finding himself unemployed very soon!

bimi   May 8th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

American Flag Pin- $5
Stimulus check for a Single American- $300
Knowing that in 7 months this man will no longer be in office- $PRICELESS

Dori in AZ   May 8th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Randomly selected checks disintegrate 12 hours after delivery.

bimi   May 8th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

bimi   May 8th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Juliann Budimir, Los Angeles   May 8th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Here’s where we keep the ballots in case we need them come November…

Dori in AZ   May 8th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

To take liberty with a quote from a favorite movie of mine…

“You smell that? Do you smell that? Money, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of money in the morning.”

bimi   May 8th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

maybe if i took paper i could make a contract for Hillary Clinton to sign it that shes is getting out of the race for the white house.

Terry   May 8th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

” I love the smell of check ink in the morning”

bimi   May 8th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

maybe we should trick America in buying these papers by saying it is worth 1 million dollars but we give them for 100 dollars for it.

Terry   May 8th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

” If these checks were quail, they would all be dead by now.”

Ryan W, Los Angeles   May 8th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

And this machine, one of Haliburton’s finest, is the fastest check producing machine in America. Of course 10% of all the money goes to me.

bimi   May 8th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

oo paper let me have it.

Saleem 17   May 8th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

bimi   May 8th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

maybe we should start making paper look like its going to eat you.

Dori in AZ   May 8th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Cheney’s stimulus checks turned out to be coupons good for “buy one meal, get one at half price” at the local Denny’s.

bimi   May 8th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

hello little paper you look like beautiful checks.

Kristien,Antwerp, Belgium   May 8th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Cheney imagining all the things he’ll be able to buy with his cheque: “…ooh, and a yo-yo!”

Dori in AZ   May 8th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Cheney dispelling rumors that he has something up his sleeve.

Ed Freisthler Sidney, Oh   May 8th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

I thought i would save you the postage and pick mine up personally.

bimi   May 8th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

hey you guys said it was my lovely checks! Are you trying to make me cry.

Ed Freisthler Sidney, Oh   May 8th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Can we adjust this thing to add a few extra zero’s to mine?

Terry   May 8th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

And here we see Vice President Cheney taking a break from killing
things to enjoy watching checks being printed. What a guy!

Dori in AZ   May 8th, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Rumor has it Hillary asked Cheney to contribute the stimulus checks to her campaign!

Leah Ohio   May 8th, 2008 6:36 pm ET

When the People all are broke, then we’ll laugh, enjoy the joke.”

Dori in AZ   May 8th, 2008 6:37 pm ET

Well, you know, at John McCain’s & my age, money is a pretty good stimulant!

Ed Freisthler Sidney, Oh   May 8th, 2008 6:38 pm ET

The rich get richer, and the poor get to pay some of their bills

Dori in AZ   May 8th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

No, they aren’t rubber checks. And, no, they won’t bounce.

john latrobe pa.   May 8th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

“Print mine for Euros.”

Terry   May 8th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

” Noooo,sir. I won’t send any of this money to the Democratic Party!”

Dori in AZ   May 8th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

No, of course money won’t buy love or happiness. But, it’s a pretty good distraction!

Terry   May 8th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Cheney, consumed by his own power, tries to actually write the checks with his own finger.

“Listen, HE’S the one who printed ‘Cheney D.’ on all these cheques, not me!”

“Good job Brownie. You see that little wastebasket back there? Send that garbage to the ‘little people’. The big one behind it is for my special interest friends. (wink!wink!)

Bob Holda   May 8th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

You say you’re looking for hunting goods?? Over that way, in the Sports Department. Happy Hunting!

Sue, Billerica, MA   May 8th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

Cheney pointing to crumpled up checks in waste paper basket… If you guys are just going to be throwing that out, then could I take it to go? … Afterall, I am going to be out of work soon!

and optionally add…

… and if the Dems pull us out of Iraq, I probably won’t get a Halburton Iraq consultant job when I leave office, so as always, I’ll take money whereever I can get it. Money is my God and this place is like a temple of worship for a guy like me!

Sue, Billerica, MA   May 8th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

Cheney says the economic stimulus checks going out to more than 130 million Americans are “a shot of energy at the right time and in the right way.” And let us hope that his aim for that shot i better than when hunting!

Michael C. - Hoosier in California   May 8th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

George, how many times have I told you not to play hide and seek unless your in the Oval office. Come on out, now. I see you right there.
