Taxes. I do hate taxes. Ain’t no teabagger with better “I hate taxes” creds than me. Okay, I don’t really mind paying the tax so much. That’s not the part I hate. It’s the tedious job of toting up all the income and outgo and getting it onto the tax forms. It’s the digging through piles and piles of loose receipts, going line by line through check registers and, well… bringing some sort of order to a year’s worth of financial chaos.
Sure, I know there are software solutions to make all that easier, but they all require discipline throughout the year. I prefer to just throw receipts into a big, cardboard box and put off until tomorrow what I could easily do today. The fact is that I’ve preferred to spend my money on graphics applications and incense. I keep incense burning in my office at all times. What can I say? Photoshop and Nag Champa do it for me on an elemental level. Quicken doesn’t.
Why am I telling you this? Just to explain why posts to this site have been a little sparse during the past week. It’s tax week, and we’re about to make the far turn into tax weekend. If you’re a regular reader, please excuse the brevity of posts until Monday. Okay, maybe Tuesday.
In the meantime, assuming it isn’t tax weekend for you too, you might want to turn your attention for a moment to something even more objectionable than taxes—Tea Party people. They hate taxes, sure enough, but they hate other things more. They hate people. They hate poor people, black people, brown people and red people. They hate Muslims and Jews and Hindus and more. They hate gays and lesbians and, well… They just do a lot of hating.
Why would you want to think about folks like that? Because they hate America, they hate you, and they’re cowards. They’ll shoot you in the back. They’ll hit you from behind if you aren’t on your guard.
So, watch the videos to the right above. Watch ‘em, and watch out. We’ll be back next week.
