Unpaid Taxes

(Boston) Here's today's tip. If you plan on running for public office, try to pay your taxes.

Marie St. Fleur was a candidate for lieutenant governor for less than 24 hours before she had to drop out over unpaid taxes and student loans, leaving voters to ask how a key player in crafting the state budget could make such a mess of her own checkbook.
It is a question Massachusetts voters have asked themselves before.
Massachusetts, dubbed "Taxachusetts" years ago for its tax-happy ways, seems to churn out scofflaw lawmakers unable or unwilling to pay their own taxes on time.
St. Fleur, a state lawmaker who is the vice chairwoman of the budget-writing House Ways and Means Committee, was late in repaying $40,000 in federally backed student loans, failed to pay automobile excise taxes in 2005, and had a $12,711 tax lien placed against her by the IRS.

In fairness to Rep. St. Fleur, not paying taxes seems to be common among Massachusetts lawmakers so she's not unique in that regard. In fact, voters complain that lawmakers in Massachusetts only know how to raise taxes, not pay them.

However, Rep.St. Fleur had a novel explanation for why she didn't pay her taxes. She indicated that "she did not file because she had received a death threat and had to hire bodyguards, leaving her with no money to pay her taxes."

Evidently, if one lives in the Bay State and receives a fatwa, prevailing logic is that a person can avoid paying taxes. Strangely, I fail to see anything odd about death threats and unpaid taxes being related. Death and taxes -- just like peas and carrots.

1 What a beeeuuuteefool reason! I wonder if she said it with a straight face. It's a given she's a dhimmi, based on the "perfect" excuse. Say, she's not Dirty Harry's kinfolk is she? That would explain the death threats. Well in your case miss uh (I just looked again-Oh Christ another French name) St. Fleur of Taxachusetts we'll make an exception cause you, you, you....cut to BJ Clintons quote"It depends on what the definition of "is" is. Tax is due . Oh I thought they meant taxis and is is in there and I is so confused, cause you know them death threats is coming.....

4 It's no wonder people are fleeing MA in droves. The sad thing is that many are coming here to Florida and some of them still can't seem to make the connection between their voting practices and the mess their state is in. If they start screwing up Florida, I might have to move back to Texas. Florida is one of only a handful of states without a state income tax. I'd like to keep it that way.

5 You forgot to mention the fact that she was pushing for "tuition breaks" for illegal aliens while legal out of state residents have to pay full price for an education in MA. While she is a "naturalized citizen" from Haiti who owes tens of thousands in student loans, doesn't pay her taxes, has several liens and foreclosures and wants us to pick up the tab for her and every other illegal in the state. But according to our AG who is running for Gov. she the perfect choice for Lt. Gov.

6 >>>But according to our AG who is running for Gov. she the perfect choice for Lt. Gov. Of course she is. She's a Liberal Democrat female African American cripple. Given she's from Haitin, it's likely she has AIDS. Perfect.

7 And, let us not forget Kennedy and Kerry and all the other liberal Democrats. I have to wonder if the voters in Massachusetts will ever come to their senses.

8 "I have to wonder if the voters in Massachusettes will ever come to their senses." Let's see. The voters of Massachusettes elected Ted Kennedy and John Kerry numerous times. Hell man, the people of Massachusettes never had any sense to come to.

Posted by: jesusland joe at February 09, 2006 10:18 AM (rUyw4)

9 JJ They have come to their senses. The only state I believe with decling popluation. People vote with their feet. Where one goes, you can bet there are 9 others who wish they could follow - but homes, mortgag*, jobs stuff like that prevents walking out that easily. This does however stengthen the Kennedy's and Kerry's.

Brad Pitt: Bad Gay

As you know, there is good gay and bad gay. An Angelina Jolie cameo on The L Word is good gay. Any gay with Brad Pitt in it is bad gay. Via Ace of Spades comes word that Brad Pitt desperately wants a gay role, presumably so he can up his Hollywood legits as a 'serious actor'. But if Brad Pitt has never played a gay cowboy eating pudding, what the hell was that Troy movie I just rented?

Men Want Jessica Alba

Jessica-Alba Usually, public opinion polls are disputable. I think this one has merit because it's what Mom would want for her son also.

From BostonHerald.com:

"Fantastic Four" gal Jessica Alba is the woman most men want to bring home to meet Mom, according to AskMen.com.
Jess is "long-term relationship material," according to the Web site's 2.5 million readers and staff surveyed for the annual Top 99 List.

Angelina Jolie was a runner-up and, oddly, Britney Spears didn't even make the list. Also, no veiled ROPMA women were in the Top 99 List. Imagine that.

8 Forget the kentucky fried shite, this is much more interesting: 'American military power is completely unrivalled in world today' America wasted it resources and is not fighting a different type of war that it is designed to fight. American can sustain itself for 3-weeks of aerial bombings, shock and awe nonsense and then its military is useless as Iraq has shown. The US will not invade another country as Iraq has shown how low-cost IEDs can neutralize America's high tech military junk. IN order to invade to steal oil, you need boots on the ground which would mean a perpetual draft of US citizens (oil protection workers), a major economic lesson the US is learning in Iraq. America military supremacy has been exposed as nothing but a myth created in hollywood. Look what the Iraq war has done. The US was only able to invade Iraq after 14 years of genocidal sanctions, daily no fly zone bombings and after the UN had disarmed Iraq. The US has NEVER won a political battle following military intervention, as soon as US troops leave Iraq and Afghanistan everything the built will be dismantled. Even with all that the US still cannot control Iraq, much less the road from the airport to their heavily fortfied Green Zone prison. American troops can't freely walk around anywhere in Iraq and are confined to fortified bases, not exactly the way you would expect from a super power. Even in Vietnam, US troops were able walk around Saigon. NOT IN IRAQ. The Iraq war has turned into a $ 2 trillion debacle that the US cannot sustain and clearly the Iraq war has been economically (and militarily) self-defeating for the US. Look how higher oil prices have destroyed the US transport industry with GM and Ford about to file for bankruptcy and Delphi already in bankruptcy. Before the US even thinks about attacking Iran it should tabulate the economic damage that the Iraq war has already done. The US doesn't have 14 years to wait for Iran sanctions to work and doesnt have the resources to take on Iran. How is the US going to fund another $6 trillion war with Iran: by borrowing from China or printing up more worthless dollars? The Iraqi Resistance has shown how to defeat a stupid superpower who believe the US military (bloated, ineffective and inefficient) can used to reverse US economic decline. First, you let the dumb Super Imperial Army in your gates, then you cut off their exit routes leaving them trapped in a long, costly and bloody guerilla war that they can never win. The US generals are so desperate in Iraq that they have to speak through congressman Murtha about their plight. The US generals in Iraq dare not tell their political leadership that they have been defeated, they have to hide their failure behind Murtha, bying time to find so face-saving way to hide the defeat. The entire world is bored with America and its nuclear arsenal, the only thing they have left after sqaundering their resources on one war too many and useless military bases around the globe. "If China or Russia choose to veto UN sanctions than the US may choose to weld the big stick against these countries" What bigstick is this? What exactly does the US have that Chinese and Russian can't find elsewhere? China is America's banker and China would hardly fund the US so that the US can attack China. Russia has a ton of oil and is nuclear power that the US can do nothing about. America's once military dominance was based on it economic power, now that the ecoomic power has dwindled, the military is useless. The US military cannot be used to reverse America's economic decline, despite what the ignorant jews believe.

Why run around chasing bombers when we can go after the factory? It was one of those, "look, see my right hand, good! As long as you don't see my left".

22 Your only defense so far is calling piggy stupid. Perhaps adopting a broader view of history and the world at large would do some good. Money may grow on trees, afterall, the dollar is just a piece of paper printed up by the private organization known as The Federal Reserve. It's no longer backed by silver or gold, just good faith. When that good faith runs out, so does the value of the paper.

War Porn: Music Videos, Iraqi Soldiers Style

Thanks to Steve for sending me this link to The Officer's Club which leads to this this video of Blackwater guys popping members of the Mahdi Army. Searching around I found some cool music videos made by our troops. They are basically home movies set to music, but they are a tribute to the men fighting in Iraq. As Osama bin Laden reminded us today, they are fighting in Iraq so we won't have to fight them here.

Just think of this post as MTV, if MTV actually wanted us to win the war. More videos below the fold including The Offspring, and DVDA's Team America: World Police song America f*ck yeah!

The Blog Sabbath Caption Contest: The Blog Gods Smile Upon Me Edition

***Fatwas Issued***

Man, I should have bought a Powerball ticket this weekend. Pictures like this just don't come around every day. This one is so good, I'm sticking it to the top of the page for the day. Scroll down for newer content. If something big breaks, any of the co-bloggers can re-set the post time.

Caption this photo of Iranian ~~lunatic~~ ~~psychotic~~ ~~nutcase~~ president Amareadytomeetallah giving a speech to someone somewhere:

Fatwas will be issued Monday. I promise, because I have the next 3 days off.

Suckers. Heh.

Fatwas go out to:

Mr. Venom: "Seriously guys, do you really think I need some Just for Men? The beard's a little grey, sure, but what about these eyebrows? They're beautiful!"

Steve Sharon: "Lance Itoh collected clocks, I collect microphones. Allah has told me to do this."

Gordon: "So den I point I gun at the wabbit. Suddenwey, he jumps up and kisses me fuw on da wips! Scewey wabbit!"

Graeme: "I'm with stupid"

Gay Cowboy Eating Pudding Critical of West Virginians, Mormons

I wonder what former Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd has to say about this? Via Dan Riehl: Heath Ledger slams West Virginians, Mormons:

"I heard a while ago that West Virginia was going to ban it. But that's a state that was lynching people only 25 years ago, so that's to be expected," Ledger said.
"Personally, I don't think the movie is (controversial) but I think maybe the Mormons in Utah do. I think it's hilarious and very immature of a society.

Yeah, nothing says 'mature' like two guys having sex on the open range. File under: bad gay.

1 Ya know, if some idiots want to make a movie about queer cowboys, then hey, it's a free country, right? But by the same token, if the vast majority of We the People are disgusted, repulsed, and sickened by the thought, and choose not to see it, then hey, it's a free country, right? Personally, I'm only glad John Wayne isn't around to see the depths to which we've sunken.

2 John Madden on the subject: "When you think about fag cowboys, you think about Heath Leger, and when you think about Heath Leger, you think about fag cowboys. You take the fag cowboys and Mormons and they just dont go together the way they do with Heath Leger. I mean Heath Leger and fag cowboys go together like Brett Favre and Lambeau Field and cold weather, and what was the question?"

3 Words like "Fag" and "Queer" aside. I saw the movie. It's an excellent story of two men, who fall in love. Let's not confuse sex with love. [They find a bond that in another time would be wonderful]. The movie isn't graphic; you donÂ’t see their erect penises, you see them embrace and be tender towards each other. They were forced to remain inside the confines of society. Go see the movie. It wonÂ’t make you gay by watching it, it may even give you something to think about.

5 Chevy: what proof do you have that seeing the movie won't make you gay?

Posted by: The Dread Pundit Bluto at January 11, 2006 01:07 PM (RHG+K)

6 I think I'll pass, a movie that is based on the premise of: Homo's, Homo's on the range, where the deer and the antelope play Just isn't my speed. Thanks for the feedback Chevy, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Posted by: dave at January 11, 2006 01:26 PM (CcXvt)

7 Chevy, First of all, queers call themselves queers, so what's good for the goose is good for the gander, especially if the gander's queer. Second, I know what love is, and I know the perfectly natural, asexual, bond that men can form, espcially under trying circumstances; it's called "brotherhood", and it's quite common among soldiers, and yes, cowboys. Wanting to give your buddy a Dirty Sanchez is not the natural expression of amity between men, which is why it's called "queer". Third, I'm not afraid of becoming queer just by watching a movie, though you might have trouble wrapping your simplistic liberal mind around the idea. I just find the whole concept repulsive, and want nothing to do with it, and I damned sure won't support such degeneracy with my money. If you like watching gay cowboy porn, then by all means go ahead, because as I said, it's a free country, but don't expect normal, red-blooded men to go for that shit, 'cause it ain't gonna happen.

8 Chevy, I watched the movie and immediately felt the urge to sodomize my half brother Heath.

Posted by: Nick Barclay at January 11, 2006 01:37 PM (3OPZt)

9 well said Maximus! I personally don't hate queers, just don't want to see the homo mafia in everything that is natural, because it is not! They want rights, give them their rights.........15% off Vaseline now get the *uck back in the Closet(Dice Man was right)

10 That's it Andy. I have two gay neighbors that are just plain nice guys, and I wouldn't let anyone cause them any trouble, but they know how to keep private matters private, as all people should. I don't really care what consenting adults do with one another, I just don't want to know about it.

11 Stop saying gay cowboys! They're gay sheep herders! Big difference...

12 Let's just pray this thread doesn't get linked to one of the pro-homo sites. IM, as usual, you cut through the BS and got to the point. Well said, my friend!

Posted by: jesusland joe at January 11, 2006 03:32 PM (rUyw4)

13 Yeah they are sheepherders nobody ever liked them in the old westerns either: the sheep crop the grass to short not like cattle. So if they are to be hung they should be hung as sheepherders not as queers.

Posted by: john Ryan at January 11, 2006 04:18 PM (TcoRJ)

14 Good point on the technicalities, they're damn sure not cowboys. Thanks JJ.

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at January 11, 2006 05:31 PM (0yYS2)

15 They are not gay, they are homosexual. I am not ruining the english language to satisfy a bunch of faggots. Sorry if you do not like my opinion but I think they are disgusting, especially bisexual men who do not tell their wives or girlfriends about their boyfriends. At least Suha Arafag knew about Yasser.

Posted by: Steve Sharon at January 11, 2006 05:32 PM (e/IFH)

16 Faggot traditionally meant a stick of wood, and gay meant happy. Don't know how they got converted to mean polesmoking rump rangers, but that's their current context.

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at January 11, 2006 07:34 PM (0yYS2)

17 >>>I saw the movie. It's an excellent story of two men, who fall in love. So if the two cowboys in question turned out to be long-lost brothers, would it still be an "excellent" and touching story about two men who fall in love? After all, they don't show any erect penises, and they really really love each other.

Posted by: Jesusland Carlos at January 11, 2006 11:55 PM (8e/V4)

18 They are sheepherders - shepherds! Not cowboys! What's the matter Hollywood? - so out of it you missed that obvious detail? what next - a pickup is a car? Boots are shoes (or just footwear)? Want to make gay love story movies - fine. But please play at least a lil' bit attention to detail! I mean - what next - a gay love story about two sailors filmed against the backdrop of the Arizona desert?

Posted by: hondo at January 12, 2006 07:52 AM (3aakz)

19 So ... they are NOT gay cowboys, but gay shepherds. .... Does this mean they ran out of ewes?

Posted by: charlie at January 12, 2006 09:24 AM (2ZhL/)

20 Their gay cowboys because someone in Hollywood realized that pointing out their actually shepherds opens them up to a lot of old jokes - AND THEY WANT TO BE TAKEN OH SO SERIOUSLY!

Posted by: hondo at January 12, 2006 09:49 AM (3aakz)

21 So two gay sheepherders walk into a bar... Let's have a contest to finish that joke. Howzabowtit?

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at January 12, 2006 10:29 AM (0yYS2)

22 No, hondo, the people who do these things and write these scripts are ignorant. Not stupid, but ignorant of anything that is not in their little circle. That is the reason they cannot understand how anyone could vote for Bush. They really have no idea about how the vast majority of the people in the US live and think. And honestly, they probably think a cowboy herds sheep. Any three-year old here in Texas would know that not to be true.

Posted by: jesusland joe at January 12, 2006 10:30 AM (rUyw4)

23 They know the difference between herding cattle (cowboys) and herding (is that the word?) sheep (shepherds). I know they do - I'm surrounded by them here in NYC. Ang Lee might not know - but they do.

Posted by: hondo at January 12, 2006 12:47 PM (3aakz)

26 Sorry, but no. Thanks for playing though, and please try again! How about this: Two gay sheepherders walk into a bar, and the bartender says, "We don't allow you people in here." One of the sheepers responds, "It's okay, we're into rams."

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at January 12, 2006 04:34 PM (0yYS2)

29 So far the only movie reviewer I know who really loved the movie was Mr.Slave of the South Park Daily who gave it two schmeckels up.

Posted by: Steve Sharon at January 13, 2006 09:58 AM (9H6fQ)

30 What's the big deal about their being sheepherders rather than cowboys? You guys keep saying they are sheepherders like that was some kind of bad thing. Fact is sheepherders lived as rugged and difficult life as any cowboy. You ever read anything about the Basque sheepherders of the American west? They were tough guys! Anyway, Jesus portrays himself as a shepherd too! The "Good Shepherd." So how can being a shepherd be a bad thing? btw, it's a pretty good flick. Seems to me a lot of the people here are trashing it without even having seen it!

31 Saw the movie. Liked it. Live in Salt Lake City. Larry Miller and his Mormon counterparts can't cram their religion down our throats.

32 Saw the movie. Excellent acting. Story not that believable. Live in Salt Lake City. Larry Miller and his Mormon counterparts can't force their strange religion down the throats of all Utahans.

33 Brokeback Mountain will not get my money. This movie was done because sissy hollywood fags like the idea of big tough butch fags pushing them around (somebody has to be the girl). I mean, look at the village people! So far this movie has grossed 66million dollars. Sounds like a lot. Compare it to the last star wars movie. 108million on its 1st weekend alone. Real Americans know what they want, and this liberal fag cowboy shit is not it. It is being force fed to us.

Posted by: bobby at February 15, 2006 10:26 AM (v53kJ)

34 I grew around sheepherders. I know a little bit about sheepherders. They are hygenically challenged. They spend months at a time out in the wild, not bathing and doing their business in the bushes. They hang around camp fires and get all smokey. Also, they tend to take on the aroma of their charges. The only thing that could be worse would be a pig farmer. Kiss a sheepherder, not on your life, especially after I saw them castrate lambs with their teeth. Yetch! And about knocking Mormans, if the religion works for you, fine, if not, maybe you ought to be a Methodist or something else.

See Vinnie Post, See Vinnie Run, Run Vinnie Run!

Hook 'em Horns!

UPDATE:

Hooked!

Two observations:

This sets USC up for even greater humiliation Sept. 16th, 2006.

In two-three years, no one will remember the names Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, and Vince Young. It's the Heisman Curse (anyone outside of Nebraska remember Eric Crouch?).

That's it for my football blogging. My favorite pro team isn't even in the playoffs.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled mayhem.

Posted by: jmiked at January 05, 2006 02:37 AM (FYsfk)

8 USC wins stupidity award....Reggie Bush's idiotic lateral cost them points in the 1st quarter, not kicking the field goal in the first quarter because of miscommunication from the bench cost them three points, and more than anything...Pete Carroll- are you on crack? 2nd down and 7..less than 3 minutes to go and up five- incomplete pass stops the clock and leaves team in 3rd and long! Dummy! CLOCK MANAGEMENT! and then, two plays later, you punt you jackass!!!! never go for it at midfield, particularly when a TD can beat you and your defense SUCKS!

Posted by: Steve Sharon at January 05, 2006 05:11 AM (S1ta7)

9 Don't forget the most brilliant coach of our time [at least according to the hype] also called his last time out on a meaningless 2 point conversion trailing by 1 with 26 seconds left on the clock; thus costing his team at least one additional play to attempt to tie or win. Frankly, Texas played like crap for most of the game and couldn't get out of their own way, but won anyway because of three factors: 1. PRIDE. Young picked up the team, put it on his shoulders and carried them to victory, but not without the Texas defense [finally] asserting itself in the last 5 minutes. 2. TALENT. Texas just had more of it, especially defensively. and 3. STUPIDITY: Did Pete Carol watch ANY film on Texas? His defensive game plan took away Jamal Charles and Seldon Young and forced the ball into the hands of Vince Young. How dumb is that? Mac Brown, on the other hand, correctly decided to take away Reggie Bush and force Matt Leinart to win or lose the game. Hook'em Horns!!!

Posted by: Charlie at January 05, 2006 08:37 AM (2ZhL/)

10 (Unbiased opinion as a non-fan of either team) Re: Pete Carroll/USC hype Remember Pete was an NFL coach who couldn't make it due to, among other things, clock mismanagement, bad game plans, etc. So this is really no surprise. He has been talked about as getting another chance in the NFL but I think he's just a good college coach who has been blessed with good talent. USC spent much of the season pulling victories out of a hat in the 4th quarter against weaker teams. I'm not saying that they didn't deserve to be in the game because they did win when they had to but most of #3 - #10+ were pretty weak compared to other years. Even at 11-1, I think Penn State is one of the weaker #3 teams in a long time. It took them 3 OTs to beat the #23 team. I think Ohio State should have finished at #3. Penn State reminds me of 'that' team every year that comes from out of nowhere for one season and then slinks back to reality the following year. Even though he'll probably be the #1 pick, it appears that Reggie Bush might be human after all and his value may have dropped just a little. I have a buddy with season tickets to the Texans and go to a few games with him and Reggie won't have a good OL as it stands right now and will be going up against pro defenses that are designed to stop the run first. I do think he'll be a good player eventually but don't think he'll be an impact player without someone to block. I also heard hype last night about USC's defense 'possibily being the best ever' and how they might be able to beat a few NFL teams. Uh, yeah. I will say one good thing about Pete Carroll since it was mentioned that he didn't have a game plan for Young. I don't think any college defense can shut him down for long so it looks like Carroll was hoping to shut down his main targets and cross his fingers that the line could contain him. That's the problem with a QB who is as good a running back as a QB and the reason a lot of pro teams are going that direction - because the QB doesn't usually have a man assigned directly to him unless it's a blitz. Again, (mostly) unbiased but I haven't bought into all the hype for USC for most of the year and got real sick of it. Now I can go back to hating UT.

Posted by: slug at January 05, 2006 11:15 AM (wcNc2)

11 Eric Crouch is just the tip of that iceberg. Jason White - 2003 Chris Weinke - 2000 Danny Wuerffel - 1996 Rashaan Salaam - 1994 Charlie Ward - 1993 Gino Torretta - 1992 Andre Ware - 1989 And that's just the last 20 years. Just shows that you can be an average athlete and still put up huge numbers in college.

Washington Resolutions

Everyone makes New Year's Resolutions (except me). This year I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of the resolutions made by some of our more esteemed politicians. Feel free to add as necessary.

John McCain - I resolve that in 2006 I will make up my mind on an issue. I'm not sure which issue yet.
Nancy Pelosi - I resolve that in 2006 I will not get any more botox treatments
Dick Durbin - I resolve that in 2006 I will give up my Taliban membership
President Bush - I resolve that in 2006 I will act like a true fiscal conservative and not let Congress run wild
John Murtha - I resolve that in 2006 I will not try to make everyone think I'm a military genius just because I've been in the Marines
John Edwards - I resolve that in 2006 I will not spend 3/4 of my time on my hair
Harry Reid - I resolve to put up a bigger searchlight. Obviously the voters didn't see the last one.
Ted Kennedy - I resolve to quit drinking. No, that would be too hard. I resolve to not drown anyone else. Maybe. As long as I'm not driving drunk.
Barbara Boxer - I resolve to eliminate men from the planet in 2006
Dianne Fienstein - I resolve to marry Barbar Boxer in 2006
John Kerry - I resolve that in 2006 I will not get any more botox treatments. Or go to any more tanning beds.
Dick Cheney - I resolve not to talk so much in 2006.
Karl Rove - I resolve to utterly destroy the Democratic party in 2006. Or in 2008 if we fail this year.

Sith Lord Accused of Conspiracy

A Sith Lord is accused of leading a mysterious group of short-sellers in a conspiracy engineered to cripple Overstock.com. The truth of the matter is unknown at present, but it is known that the value of Overstock shares has plummeted and holiday sales figures are disappointing.

Wait a minute, with Rusty a Sith Master, the Sith Lord must be his boss.

Hmmm ...
