Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up on the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Tuesday evening:

Google(GOOG): "I would be comfortable buying Google right here, because I think Google is going to hit 350 at year-end."

Paychex(PAYX): "I think Paychex is good. I still think Automatic Data(ADP) is better."

El Paso(EP): "El Paso is fairly valued. Don'tbuyDon'tbuy."

URS Corp(URS): "You gotta own URS. That's a winner, not a loser. Stay in it."

Sirius Satellite Radio(SIRI): "I think you should be buying Sirius Satellite right here right now."

H&R Block(HRB): "It doesn't deserve the opprobrium. I would be a buyer of HRB."

American Express(AXP): "I think the stock should be bought."
