Good morning Mo.
I think the missing #310 post was a photo nully posted that didn't show up so he had it removed.

Oh .. bummer

A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service.

Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever. At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter.

When confronted later, he said: "I'm sorry; I was just thinking of my own
funeral........I'm a gynecologist."

At that point, the proctologist fainted.

Subj: The truth about taxes

Let's put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand.
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner.
The bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

the first four men-the poorest-would pay nothing;
the fifth would pay $1:
the sixth would pay $3;
the seventh $7;
the eighth $12;
the ninth$18.
the tenth man-the richest-would pay $59.

That's what they decided to do. The ten men ate dinner in the restaurant every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement-until one day, the owner threw them a curve.

"Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20."
So now dinner for the ten only cost $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still eat for free. But what about the other six-the paying customers? How could they divvy up the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his "fair share?"

The six men realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33.
But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would end up being *paid* to eat their meal.

So the restaurant owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so the fifth man paid nothing, the sixth pitched in $2, the seventh paid $5, the eighth paid $9, the ninth paid $12, leaving the tenth man with a bill of $52 instead of his earlier $59.

Each of the six was better off than before.
And the first four continued to eat for free.
But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

"I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth. "But he got $7!"
"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got seven times more than me!" "That's true!" shouted the seventh man.
"Why should he get $7 back when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!" "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all.
The system exploits the poor!"
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night he didn't show up for dinner, so the nine sat down and ate without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They were $52 short!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and college instructors, is how the tax system works.
The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction.
Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up at the table anymore.
Unfortunately, Liberals cannot grasp this straight-forward logic!

SPLAT!

Things did not go all that well for the babies.

Sean was reading the tax breakdown yesterday - maybe the MIL is beginning to see the light? We can hope.

Happy humps to ya.

We have success .. the hubby hooked up his laptop for work last night and was getting such a kick out of how fast it was ..

[sweetliberty]

" gotta schlep her 60 miles to the darn theater.."

Oh whine... it's Lord of the Rings for crying out loud. Poor baby. You oughta be glad she took you. Hehehe... I can't wait to see it.

[sweetliberty]

Well the three movies were all made at once as part of one story, which of course, it is. I've heard that the Two Towers is supposed to be better, but I will reserve judgement until I see it. Given the director's love for the story and attention to detail I expect the see the same quality all the way through.

"I tore the door right off and nearly knocked the whole support post on one corner of the car port out."

ROTFL! I'll bet he still hasn't let you live that one down.

[sweetliberty]

[lodwick]

Thank G*d they've found a terrorist cell in north Texas to report on today - the Lott mess was threatening to drive me whacky.

[sweetliberty]

"I bet life is much happier now huh???"

MUCH! The lezzi lush nut job with the ghost was very upset and took it personally that I was leaving. I am SO thankful to be out of that place.

[Mo1]

FOX NEWS ALERT

David Duke as been indicted on Fraud & Tax Charges

[Mo1]

Drive you whacky .. it gave me a huge )(R%*$* Headache .. LOL

[Mo1]

I'm thankful you are out of there also

[sweetliberty]

I am so sick of 2 out of at least every 3 articles being about Lott that I swear I am ready to swear off FR until this dies. I am so p*ssed. This should have never been an issue. And we thought there was no prosecution for thought "crimes" in this country.

[Mo1]

I have a feeling this might end up blowing up in the Dems faces ..
