STOP THE "TOO MUCH TAX" MYTH.
kellyoxford:
Looks like they worked out a deal that screws the old, the poor, and the sick, keeps the wars going strong, and of course doesn’t meaningfully affect tax rates for the rich or for corporations. Can’t have that. Just look, we might approach the tax rates of international powerhouses like Slovakia.
The President appears to be intricately involved in this deal.

Dear Dr. [xxxxx]:
Please find enclosed the payment for $7.10, as requested for account [nnnnn].
For the record: your threat to hand this paltry balance over to a collections agency is outrageous and over the top. If it weren’t for the byzantine, opaque rules by which your office interacts with our insurer, we’d have paid it much sooner. As it happens, we have to wait many, many...

Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh sued for $100,000 in... →
Freshman U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh, a tax-bashing Tea Party champion who sharply lectures President Barack Obama and other Democrats on fiscal responsibility, owes more than $100,000 in child support to his ex-wife and three children, according to documents his ex-wife filed in their divorce case in December.
“I won’t place one more dollar of debt upon the backs of my kids and grandkids unless we...

Upcoming gigs
So it turns out that I don’t just sit here and write about bands I was in 18 years ago while quietly humming Springsteen’s “Glory Days.” I’m actually in a couple that are still active. The distribution of these gigs is always kind of lumpy…I’ll go a couple of months with none, and then there will be a couple of very busy months. One of those busy periods...

It's Tuesday in Europe
Add a plague of flies to the many gifts bestowed upon us by the seller of this house. It’s like Exodus up in here; we kill dozens of them every day. The working theory is that a critter died somewhere behind the basement walls or possibly in the attic and is decomposing like Mozart, but Sharon’s preternatural nose has not detected it, so I’m concluding it’s a curse, along...
Wait, what? →
In the 16th paragraph of (yet another) heartbreaking account of the massacre in Norway, this from the BBC:
[police chief] Sponheim confirmed that the maximum time Mr Breivik could face in prison under Norwegian law is 21 years.
I can’t even…what?

My resume would bore you to death
Be my friend or whatever it’s called on LinkedIn if you’re dying to know.
Seriously, it’s a shameful and awful exposition of corporate whoredom and nerdery.

This is bugging me
I know we’ve already established that Google+ rules and Facebook dr00lz. I don’t want to argue about it, mostly since I don’t really care. I’m doing both because I have to if I want to stay in touch with all my people, as established.
A recurring theme I keep hearing is that G+ gives you more control over who you share with than FB does. It certainly has an awesome and...
Truthful Thursday
This is important:
There is something you excel at somewhere. Could be some aspect of work, parenting, school, lovemaking, a hobby, whatever. There is something you know in your heart of hearts that you are just really damned good at. A rock star.
And it’s all of you. Everyone has their thing.
And there will come a time when a person of authority, or someone you respect, or someone who...

Hey, tumblr!
Great choice for a time to fuck up delivering notifications!
It’s not like a new service has emerged in the last week to eat your lunch or anything.
LULZ!
