Annals of Evasion

Hoho. Democrats love taxes but hate to pay them, and Republicans hate taxes but hate Democrats who don't pay them even more. Tom Daschle can't not fix our healthcare problems with industry-friendly non-solutions because he forgot to pay taxes on the quintillion dollars he made as a lobbyist for the health care industry that Barack Obama wanted him to pretend to destroy, and Nancy Killefer can't monitor the government's books because she did not pay unemployment taxes for her legions of servants.

Last year I claimed that the entire square footage of my house and yard were a home office and that every dinner party I threw was a business expense. Then I blew my stimulus check on weed and cocaine. This makes me morally better than the Obama Administration, but worse than Michael Phelps, a position I am more than happy to occupy . . . forever.

Weed and cocaine? I think you're supposed to choose.

I've never done cocaine, but I've seen Casino, and cocaine doesn't strike me as a complimentary drug to weed.

I figure, cocaine on working days, weed on the weekend.

Editor's Note: These two paragraphs were originally intended to be placed under the title "The Occasional, if Regrettably Necessary, Restatement of Principles." This would have avoided significant confusion on SteveB's part, as well as avoided follow-up pretension to the tune of The Yellow Brick Road, you of course being IOZ, SteveB being the scarecrow, and the rest of it being some sort of Munchkinland clusterfuck of randomly nonsensical backslapping/reach-arounds about how the great IOZ knows all, ergo, his readership is thus smarter than the idiot w/o the brain. 100 comments about precisely nothing. Fuck that was a waste of time.

Calmer than you.

I like that it stopped exactly at 100, with my stirring invocation of The One's theme song.

Don't any of you fuckers go over there and mess it up now, you hear?

And I hate to break this to you, Anonymous 5:19, but it's all a waste of time.

SteveB, welcome to the Parade!

The model for WhoIsIOZ?, obviously, is not the seminar, but the bar.

I'm still trying to figure out what a "marginal progress liberals" is/are.
Reading Ioz' comments makes my brain hurt.
