Big hairy woman come on in
And don't forget your bald headed friend
Hey pretty woman let the boys
Jump in
Two timin' woman girl you know you ain't right
Two timin' woman you's out with my boy last night
Two timin' woman that takes a load off my mind
Two timin' woman now I know the baby ain't mine
Oh, two timin' woman
Oh pretty woman.

With apologies to Dahila Lithwick, I'm wondering if the truck drivers who deliver pills to pharmacies are going to allowed to refuse to make deliveries if they have religious objections to some of those medicines.

I've been figuring, why calculate the AMT. Just send in the return, adn get the calculation done for you, and then pay the extra, with some interest.
Damn AMT upped my ETR by about 1% this year. I don't use any program to figure the taxes. It would save time and cut down on errors, but I'm stubborn. I checked the AMT because the 1040 says you have to.

My advice to this sock-o-penske was not really serious. I feel it is a moral failing to not pay your taxes in accordance with a reasonable view of the law -- tortured readings are not reasonable. Stretching is not reasonable. I feel as strongly about this as other people do about abortion being murder, though I have not (yet) bombed any consultants' offices (but I am listening carefully to what has been revealed about Eric Rudolph's plans for various gay nightclubs and the Olympics and abortion clinics).
Let me guess, you paid a higher ETR than 14.2%. Ha. Eat my deductions!

And if you are going to accuse me of sockery, get it straight-go to infirmation and search for david. My finest work was exposing the tight asses who futilely attempted to juggle part-time careers with part time parenthood on the parents board. I was also abu nidal on the Politics board but I don't recall you posting on either of those boards. Thankfully.

So you've done this whole bulletin board persona thing before and the best name you could come up with this time was whoopassman? Interesting.

Christ, you made me click. I have not calculated my ETR. I enter the numbers I have on their assigned lines and file.

It is not jealousy that makes me despise liars and cheaters and shirkers and freeloaders. It is the fact that I possess some concept of right and wrong. You, sir, lack that sense of right and wrong.

And by "interesting" I presume you mean "pathetic."

I am now mired in despising people who lie on their pension election form and say they are divorced when, in fact, they are not. I'm sure whoopassman would do that too if it would get him a tax break. Perhaps he could certify that he is blind -- I think they get a break of some sort.

Carter, as a Demorat, is doomed to an eternity in the fires of Hell, like all the rest. The sooner he accepts that, the easier it will go for him. God Bless America!! God Bless President Bush!! God Bless Tom DeLay!!
You and Chad really need to get together.

I do too, I just realize that there is a middle area between the two that not is certainly not wrong and may actually be right. You are apparently too naive or too stupid to do the same. Maybe you should consult taxwonk and ask for the special needs discount.
