At first we thought it was just a little bit ridiculous about the Senate giving everyone a hundred bucks only because gas bills are too high. (Hey, Senate, our bar tabs are too high lately; can we get some cash to cover that?) But then we realized it's even more ridiculous: The story we read says every taxpayer will get this check, even all us New Yorkers who don't buy gas in the first place. Which, come to think of it, is a kind of ridiculousness we can entirely get behind.
