Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So tired. Long day. But now I get pie. Mmm, pie.

Yeah, i would love it to be more recent taxes, but I'm watching right now...

David Cay Johnston will be discussing the tax returns on Maddow. He won a Pulitzer for tax reporting in the past, so presumably he's the guy with whom to talk about them.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I watch Maddow regularly, but was very excited to see that this was a very exciting, big-deal episode. Like meara, I wish they were slightly more recent, but - I'll take what I can get!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm finding it really difficult to get enthusiastic about 2005 tax forms.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There were three Davids, in either the first or second TableTalk thread, and Dana insisted three was too many, so two of them assumed the pseuds of Manservant Hecubus and Knut Hoarfrost.

Pfft, Knut the Difficult!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Does the person who sent it look legit? I mean, I get random recruiters contacting me, but not for projects in the Caribbean!

Actually, it does look legit. Huh. I'm not at all right for what they do, but I bet it'll be fun for someone. I don't expect I'll ever be asked to do Shakespeare or a moody drama in the Caribbean. That would be right in my wheelhouse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You never know! Someone I know who I thought was not that mainstream as a singer/songwriter is now playing guitar and singing on a cruise ship! (She is, of course, playing mainly covers, but still.)

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, conjecture this morning is that the 2005 return (only 2 pages) was purposely leaked by tinyhands himself. Most likely the one that looked most favorable to him in the last couple decades. Big statement about how successful he is and so forth this morning too.
