gas tax holiday
From this morning's ABC "town hall" with Hillary Clinton, about the gas tax holiday:
STEPHANOPOULOS: "But can you name an economist who thinks this makes sense?"
CLINTON: "Well, I'll tell you what, I'm not going to put my lot in with economists."
Silly George, the Clintons don't listen to economists for economic advice. Spanky the Money Octopus tells them all they need to know.

Here is Barack Obama's new campaign ad in Indiana, "Pennies," in which he makes some "correct" economic argument about why we should keep taxing your damn motorcar fuel. It amazes us, every day as we wake up, to see how much of a liberal this schlock is. Just because the oil companies are *rich* doesn't mean they don't have *families* to feed. [YouTube]

happy thursday!
Barack Obama visited an assisted living home today in Indiana. Here is an old woman, so old she can barely speak, can barely even remember what she's going to ask, challenging Obama on why he won't accept the economically unsound gas tax holiday proposal, and then making a crack about how she's going to die soon. Obama laughs awkwardly because GOOD GOD, give that woman a morphine already. [YouTube]

annals of gas tax holidays
Many of you may be aware that gas prices are rising about 20 cents a week, causing much despair among Average Americans. John McCain found the perfect anti-solution for this energy Depression, in which the price of crude oil is reaching $120 a barrel, in his hilarious tax plan (the other aspects of which include slashing corporate taxes from 35% to 25%, eliminating the alternative minimum tax entirely thus re-opening old loopholes for the wealthy, and making the Bush tax cuts permanent — all of which will be balanced by the elimination of like $200 million in earmarks). McCain proposes a "gas tax holiday" — a break from the current 18.4-cent gas tax between Memorial Day and Labor Day — and Hillary Clinton has announced she is all for it as well. Barack Obama isn't. Every. Single. Economist. Agrees with Barack Obama — even the conservatives and Hillary's favorite Paul Krugman!

tragic hero
The greatest American hero since forever, Sinbad, is actually a traitor to his country because he does not pay for it. If you'll recall, he was the leading provocateur in "Sinbadgate" (named after Sheryl Crow, an important participant), the whistle-blowing scandal about Hillary's Clinton's fake trip to Bosnia. But now the funniest comedian of some decade is one of the most high profile tax delinquents in the United States, according to the I.R.S. Similarly heroic politico Dick Morris is also a tax delinquent, but he's also not a human.

Presidents and vice presidents file tax returns — they're just like us! George and Laura Bush filed and guess how much they made in 2007? Just shy of a million! That's not really so much money. Dick and Lynne Cheney easily beat the fake president's adjusted gross income of $923,807. But by how much?

A fantastic PR person writes to Wonkette: "To help brighten the moods of late-filers on Tax Day, April 15th, Coors Light is going to have 10 Silver Bullet Girls picket sign rallying at post offices in 13 markets to help turn Tax Day into National Venting Day. The picket signs will read 'There's a Better Way to Vent.'" By having sex with the Silver Bullet Girls? Ha ha, heterosexual female taxpayers will have to have sex with something else, or just drink.

Hillary Clinton is afraid that Americans are going to start prancing around in knee socks and filming radioactive giant lizard-based horror films, now that we are sinking into a "Japanese-style malaise." But these terrible tragedies can be avoided if we resort to crazy nanny state policies like having the Federal Housing Administration purchase underwater mortgages.

If you live in some kind of liberal-lousy neighborhood like mine, you’ve probably seen photocopied “TAX REVOLT ‘08 — NO CASH FOR WAR” flyers taped to lampposts just above the sad lost puppy signs and ads for yoga studios. No doubt you imagine that not paying your taxes would be pretty rad, but then you think, “What sort of insane-sounding legal justification can I offer the IRS for refusing to pay my taxes? Obviously this isn’t the sort of thing I can ask my accountant. Who can I turn to?” Well, how about Money Train star Wesley Snipes? I know, it seems obvious now.
