You should try and save your jokes up for your primary. It needs help.

Also, is there a popular, worksafe, freeware program to re-size pictures to use as avatars? Everything i try to use is bigger than 100x100 pixels.
Because tax law, especially on permissible deductions, is full of grey areas. It's not like there are thousands of pages of detailed rules. I understand your uncertainty here, and admire the strong ethical code that appears to underlie your decision-making process. I mean, hell, how likely is it that you'll get caught? And if you don't get caught, you deserved not to pay the tax. Because you are smarter than those schmoes who don't push the lines, and don't make Congress pass ever-more-detailed laws, and the Treasury to issue ever-more-detailed guidance, to keep people from doing things that anyone with any common sense could see were not intended to be done under the rules, but if the applicable rules and other, really not related rules are read in an overly legalistic, twisted way, an argument that what really isn't permissible might be OK can be made by moron consultant assholes.

That was quite the run-on sentence. Good times!

How does one party go from capturing the WH and Congress to ineffectual disarray in 4 months?
2. I am a longtime Republican- but I won't be voting Republican next time. These guys have gotten us into a quagmire in Iraq and have destroyed the universal love America had around the world, plus ruin the economy. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm voting Dem next time

    Bus stop, NO WAR, Juan's there, I say
    Would you like a Peace button
    Bus stop, bus goes, Juan stays, peace march
    behind my peace button

    All that Monday aztec dancing blind
    That peace button, we employed it
    By noon, Juan was mine

I have no idea. Must be an evil mastermind. A puppeteer, perhaps?

How could you not see the trainwreck coming? Too many unholy alliances. Or too many holy ones.
