I think Tuesday just kicked my ass and took its name back.
Stupid Tuesday. I like my name better, anyway.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

It can also be a sales tax or a VAT.
That seems to be coming up a bit lately. I don't know that you can really make it work without really putting it to the lower and middle class. You can exempt things like food, clothing, and medicine but then you need like a 30-40% tax. That would be kinda tough. Sure, you aren't paying income taxes but people with lower incomes don't pay all that much income tax as it is.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Am I the only one who heard this at conventions back in the '80s?
One thing remaining that needs no explaining,
There's less where there once was more.

I can't even.
Another wacky baseball injury this year (remember the guy who hurt his leg celebrating a victory):
Finally, here's one of the great baseball injuries of modern times:
Twins shortstop Jason Bartlett got hurt during the Twins' series in Detroit last week. But the bad news is, he did it on a day they got snowed out and without leaving the hotel.
Bartlett was trying to rotate the TV in his room so he could watch a basketball game, got a finger caught under the TV – and ripped off a fingernail.
Ow.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It can also be a sales tax or a VAT.
But that's not really what people are proposing-- an income tax that exempts savings would encourage savings and would be administered pretty much as IRAs are now.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
John, there's a message for you in F2F.
