{#Lol} I love that phrase!


NoEnz, I hate that I live in a place that doesn't have more public transportation. I'd ride trains—hell yes I would. With my iPod.
When I move, I hope to live very close to my place of business so I can decrease my "footprint" as much as possible.

It's all just a bunch of people with giant egos, and this gives them a platform to be a part of the circus.

I don't get why the ENTIRE government has to shut down because of one little  huge-ass speed bump in Congress. Why not just Congress? {#Confused}

But the Right couldn't find it in their hearts to cut subsidies to oil companies.

No, tax deadlines still apply.

And you still have to show up for federal jury duty.

And you still have to take your castor oil.

Just that the refunds won't be going out. So now they won't be able to return your money.
  

Refunds on paper returns won't go out, but I believe e-filers will still get their refunds processed.  Electrons never sleep.
