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.

The Volokh Conspiracy is a right-leaning group blog, most of whose contributors are legal academics.

I know Volokh but had never heard of Kerr. What a wack job.

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

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.

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

. Break a Leg, Mom
gs: Cynthia Mann (Carla)

An episode showcasing the singing talents of Patti LuPone. A Tony winner for the musical "Evita", actually centers around Corky, for whom nothing seems to be going right. First, he has an accident in driver's ed. Moreover, he's not doing well in his remedial arithmetic class, and if he doesn't pass a minimum-competency test he won't be able to stay in the mainstream program. What really gets to Corky, though, is the uneasy feeling that his mom gave up a promising show-business career because he came along. As it happens, Libby has a chance for a comeback of sorts, at the community college's "Autumn Follies". She wants no part of it. And Corky doesn't want to take arithmetic tutoring with kids ten years younger than himself. But they work out a deal: he'll take the tutoring if she auditions for the show.

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!

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?

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?
