Tax time …

Some years, I love tax time … other years, I hate it.

Last year, I really hated tax time; because I rented for much of 2007, my income was such that I owed a few hundred dollars when I filed my return; money which I couldn’t afford to pay, and which was deducted from my [...]

THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS – LETTER FROM AN OCCUPANT

I’m told the eventual downfall is just a bill from the restaurant. You told me I could order the moon, babe, just as long as I shoot what I want. What the last ten minutes have taught me, bet the hand that your money’s on. Where [...]

Video Poetry (Chained Version)

SOCIAL DISTORTION – BALL AND CHAIN

Well it’s been ten years and a thousand tears And look at the mess I’m in A broken nose and a broken heart, An empty bottle of gin Well I sit and I pray In my broken down Chevrolet While I’m singin’ to myself There’s got to be [...]

Lawmakers paid to stay home in bed

A sweet deal? Lawmakers paid to stay home in bed – Salt Lake Tribune

For years now, taxpayers have shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, compensating Utah legislators for lodging, even though many of the lawmakers never set foot in a hotel.

As the Utah Legislature convenes this year, the 104-member body [...]

Much to our surprise, today was Communication Day at work.

Back to Wheeler Farm this morning … and I can’t believe it’s the second-last race of the season.

The weather is supposed to be overcast and cool, with temps in the low-to-mid 40s. We got a little bit [...]

Video Poetry (Steady Edition)

TWO GALLANTS – STEADY ROLLIN’

You might have seen me ‘neath the pool hall lights. Well baby I go back each night. If you got a throat I got a knife. Steady rollin’, I keep goin’.

I don’t mind how quick the seasons change. You know to me they’s every one the same. The [...]

Never thought I’d see it!

A-train railing against free-market realities. Okay, so it’s not truly a free market, but there are limits to what banks receiving funds under TARP can do; limits designed to protect the American taxpayer as a senior investor (the investments are in preferred securities after all), whilst not placing excessive limits on free-market flexibility for the [...]

BLACK EYED PEAS – WHERE IS THE LOVE?
