* Today is Tax Day. I have no idea why it’s today — the 17th — and wasn’t yesterday, but there it is. Today I always dream of the panic and chaos that would ensue if there wasn’t automatic withholding and people had to write a check for their entire burden today. It would be lovely. We should make it happen.
The thing I hate most about taxes is that the more money they take, they more government we get. It’s the worst possible trade off imaginable.
* So the Buffett Rule failed in the Senate, getting just 51 votes instead of the needed 60. But now we won’t get our “rich people paid more in taxes” prize! What was that again? A pink slip?
* So what useless thing will Obama champion now? He’s going to take on oil market manipulation. Because the one thing that will definitely lower oil prices is more bureaucracy. And I’m sure everyone is really hopeful for this considering how well Obama’s fiddling around with things has improved everything in the past.
Someone who was once a “community organizer” should never be expected to actually help with anything useful; that’s just cruel.
* The Pulitzer Prizes were awarded, but there was none given for editorial writing. I think that’s because they knew it would be dishonest to give it to anyone other than me, so they opted to just not award any at all.
So what was your favorite editorial of mine from the past year? I don’t need awards when I have… you guys.
* So a member of the British Parliament, Lord Nazir Ahmed, visited Pakistan and offered a 10 million pound reward bounty on Obama and Bush. So we think we have some idiots in Congress, but so far they’re not quite that bad. And what good would 10 million do you if our whole country was then set on murdering you? I don’t even like Obama, but if some foreigner harmed a single hair on his head, I and pretty much everyone like me would be like, “Kill him and everyone near him!” And if you’ve ever seen British parliament, it’s raucous enough, but just wait until Navy SEALs run in there and shoot Ahmed in the head.
Anyway, the Labour[sic] Party has suspended Ahmed. Offering to pay terrorists to kill the leader of your greatest ally is a no-no.
* We have videos! Here’s Sunny celebrating Tax Day — with guns:
And here is bad lip reading for Joe Biden. He’s the only one who this makes sound smarter:
* Wisdom of the Day from Brandon Kiser:
Why raise taxes on millionaires when you can lower taxes for secretaries? #BuffettRule
tax day is today instead of yesterday because april 16 is emancipation day. a holiday celebrated in washington DC and apparently unknown to the rest of humanity. first proclaimed in 2005, i think.
Emancipation Day in Washington, DC (and nowhere else) forces Tax Day to be moved to April 17: “Irony . . . too thick . . . can’t breathe . . .”
How DARE you profile Lord Nazir Ahmed as a Muslim who would offer a 10 million pound reward bounty on Obama and Bush just because he’s a Muslim who offered a 10 million pound reward bounty on Obama and Bush!
“I always dream of the panic and chaos that would ensue if there wasn’t automatic withholding and people had to write a check for their entire burden today. It would be lovely.”
Too bad there’s not an alternative party to the democrats – one that, say, stood for smaller government and less taxes – that would push for that to happen. They could also fight for things like tort reform and actually lowering the budget instead of just slightly slowing down the massive growth. According to Horace Greeley, “We should not care much whether those thus united (against slavery) were designated ‘Whig,’ ‘Free Democrat’ or something else; though we think some simple name like ‘Republican’ would more fitly designate those who had united to restore the Union to its true mission of champion and promulgator of Liberty rather than propagandist of slavery.”
Well, dare to dream…
I am offering a $10 bounty to anyone who brings me the body Charlie the Tuna.
Dead or Alive
or canned
Sorry DC…but I have it on good authority that Charlie Tuna died of affixation years ago. Now he sleeps with Bin Laden.
