Sorry it’s late but it wouldn’t be a spacemonkey carnival of comedy if it were on time. Would it?

Tax Day 2006

Since April the 15th fell on a Saturday, today is tax day for all the people who waited to the last minute to file. (For hurricane Katrina victims it’s the last day to apply for the Katrina extension).
Am I the only one sick of this crap? Why do we need to tell them (the IRS) all this stuff they already know?
Why have the stinking IRS in the first place? This Fair Tax thing is looking better and better to me.
An extra cool thing about the fair tax, illegals would have to pay it too. Heh.
Update:Heres a book on the fair tax subject

Review: Newest Google Map is Lacking in Detail, Features

In my opinion the newest google map deal is just useless, it doesn’t even go down to street level nor does it give driving directions. There is no way to find businesses nearby,just maps. That’s all there is, maps.
And something’s wrong with the map color scheme too, everything appears all rainbowy.
See for yourself.
Seems to me like, I don’t know, RED would be predominant. Good thing it’s free is all I have to say.

Questions For McKinney

This was written by an IMAO regular and my friend Shane.
After about three semesters of college, I became convinced Computer Engineering was the wrong field for me, mainly because I was failing my basic engineering courses and getting high marks in 400 level English Literature classes as a Freshman and Sophomore. For a brief time (read “about 2 days”) I wondered if I shouldn’t change my degree to Journalism and become a reporter. Thankfully, that fever brokefeeling subsided and I came to my better senses. I earned a major in Religion with a minor in English.
Still, I have these moments, especially while watching (or more likely reading about) any press conference involving a politician, where I wish for one brief moment that I had scratched the journalism itch. I can’t help but think I could come up with much better questions to ask. Much more pertinent questions, grounded in the generally shared reality, rather than the substitutional reality shared by most major media reporter types.
Such a case came up this morning, while reading about Georgia IdiotRepresentative Cynthia McKinney. Given her history, and the apparent facts in the case, I’ve compiled a short list of questions that Journalist Me would have asked, given the chance.

Who Do Voodoo? Penn Do, You Too!

So, Sean Penn ‘violates’ an Ann Coulter ‘voodoo’ doll on a regular basis?
Well, isn’t that nice? I guess we all grieve in our own way. But since he seems to have put the loss of his brother behind him, why can’t the rest of us torture a doll of HIM in Miss Coulter’s defense? (I own one of her books..)
Why, we CAN! Don’t you miss out on the all the voodoo fun! Order your Sean Penn voodoo doll today.
Pins, personal photographer and cigarette lighter sold separately.
