FI-FI FI FIIIIIIIIIRST!
You mean I'm sharing a borough with Althouse? There goes the neighborhood...
Yes, I can see it. That is, I think I remember which one it is. It's nice to have some distance on it.
The Pope's comment on tax evasion sounded interesting, so I clicked on the link. Here is what the first commenter had to say:
"What about taxes that are used by tyrannical governments to kill people? Is this not a grave social injustice? I do not pay taxes for this reason, as I cannot condone the evil actions of the US government. I do so legally, by earning less that the minimum taxable income each year to maintain my exempt status. I would rather do this than earn a substantial living and be forced to fund murder."
I apologize to all the moonbats on ATL whom I may have called bad names in the past. By contrast to that leftist idiot, you are probably all reasonable people.
see? we aren't THAT bad. you, oh the other hand, are awful.
