It's a beautiful day.
Just downloaded the latest tax tables from Quickiebooks and ran payroll.

And I am pleased to announce that I am taking home exactly ONE extra genuine greenbacked fiat Yankee dollar bill per week!!!!

Thank you Mr. Obama. Thank you congress. Due to your diligence and hard work right before Christmas I will now, assuming I'm thrifty, be able to afford a whole 6-pak of Sam Adams before this wonderful tax cut expires.

Provided I don't figure in sales tax.

Perhaps it is time to hoist the black flag and begin to slit throats.

Chas

Sorry Pete.

As I was dreaming of that 6-pak of Sam Adams I was going to buy, once my ship finally arrives, I went to the likker store and saw that they had raised the price a buck...it is now out of my reach without going into my winnings.

If I give you a buck, I won't even have enough left for a 6 of Stella.

Once I come up with the sales tax, of course.

If I could get that in writing, splurge wouldn't be the word.

Just a thought, but if everyone actually BELIEVED the would would end in 2012, for all practical purposes it would.

So now you know how well I benefitted from the Boosh tax cut, one whole pack of Marlboros each month. And that was on a six figure income.

Send it to a billionaire. Maybe he'll create a million jobs with it?

Who needs billionaires whenever Uncle Sammy is gonna borrow another trillion. Hell, that's only something like three grand per citizens head per year.

But I got my 52 bucks!!!
