Once, Hank was going back and for with GGG, and Hank started calling GGG Gilligan. Later, instead of merely calling him Gilligan, Hank posted an episode synopsis of Gilligan's Island. It was very funny the first time he did it. It was sorta funny the second time he did it. Up to about the 20th time, it was kind of amusing, yet annoying. Then he started repeating this schtick with other posters, and crossed it over from politics to the FB. It took the intervention of several posters to convince Hank that the bit, while once funny, was played out. So Hank turned to the Guernica bit, and you can imagine how that went.

Anyway, I guess I was just reminiscing.

How young are you that you don't recognize an episode of Bosom Buddies?

tax question
 

Greetings greedy pols;

Periodic lurker, first time poster (here, I formerly posted at Infirmation under a few monikers, such as mysterious guest and david).

Seeing as tax has been a recent topic and tax day is tomorrow, my query is, assuming I am a single, making a couple of hundred K and have avoided the dreaded AMT, is 14.2% a good effective tax rate or do I need to be a bit more aggressive with my deductions?

thanks.

Someone just failed the literacy test.

It's hard to tell these days, given where the GOP is going.

Do not be "more aggressive" in your deductions or, as God is my witness, I will track you down like the dog you are and sic the IRS on you. Pay the fucking less than 15% of your cushy income and get over yourself.

Oh, and welcome to the boards!

Off my corner, ho.

Sheesh, chill for a minute. I meant "more aggressive" in the legal grey zone sort of way. Isn't that the way the game is supposed to be played?

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.

If identical twins have sex with each other, is it masturbation?

Amor caecus est!

This reminds me of a chat I had with a colleague the other day, moderate republican who does some work with the state party and who voted for Bush. He told me that the whispers are the chances to retain the WhiteHouse in 2008 are melting away faster than a scoop of vanilla on the devil's hotplate. I have to agree. How does one party go from capturing the WH and Congress to ineffectual disarray in 4 months?

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

tax question
 

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!

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

tax question
 

I'd be happy with a ETR of 14.2%. As for getting more aggressive with your deductions, I'll let someone else advise you on that. But if you do, remember that I do tax controversy work when the appropriate time comes and PM me. I'll give you the GA discount.

tax question
 

Thanks. I'll put you in my rolodex-should it be wonk, tax or taxwonk? And I realize that all things considered 14.2% is not bad, although I remember reading during the 04 election campaign that Madame Kerry paid something like 12% ETR in '03 and I figured what's good for the goose shoud trickle down to the gander, to mix a metaphor.

Christianity
 

That was great.

I think the basic concepts of Christianity are:

1) Acceptance of everyone (judge not so ye be not judged)
2) Try to be humble and not conceited (the biggest sin is pride or self conceit).

Being the smartest and coolest guy on the planet, it is realy hard for me to adopt number 2.

Christianity
 

You are wrong. Why am I not surprised? You've already demonstrated yourself to be a Democrap in sheep's clothing.

If you knew anything about Christianity at all, you'd know that the basic concepts of Christianity are:
[list=1][*]There is no god but the Christian God of the King James Bible. There is no Yahweh, and God is no fat lazyass Buddah, and certainly no illiterate pedophilic Mohammed. [*]All nonbelievers are to be granted a chance to convert. If they don't, we can convert them at the end of a sword (or M16, or whatever weapon you can carry thanks to the wisdom of the Divinely-inspired forefathers who immortalized the Second AMENdment.[*]All good Republicans are already halfway to eternal bliss, and all Dumbocrats are automatically consigned to the eternal agony of the flames of Hell. Good riddance - may God speed the coming of that day ![/list=1]

Well, you could always up your charitable contributions. And there's no need to put me in your Rolodex. I'm around pretty often. It's not like I work for a living.
