The pattern continues...

[SolidWood]

Nothing suspicious here.../s

[mewzilla]

Ellison's too busy calling the cops on his colleague.

[NittanyLion]

The politicians have 10 days to file the 2006 year-end reports or face fines of $5 a day.

$5 per day? That'll teach 'em!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

You can't even get a good cigar for $5

;-)

[TADSLOS]

Yeah, must have been too much of Tancredo's cigar smoke in his office to complete the paperwork.

[Egon]

Someone should call the police.

[period end of story]

With a fine of $5 a day, who needs to care about filing on time?

[dforest]

The Culture of Democrat Party corruption. Hand him a cigar!

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

I would love to have Ellison’s campaign contributors revealed. It should be an ugly discovery for us.

Just another run-of-the-mill, dung beetle, congresscrook.

[NonValueAdded]

Oooooooh, $5 a day! Now there's a law with teeth.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Hmmm. Too busy blowing smoke about blowing smoke?

[Beckwith]

THat's because filing is not mandated by Sharia Law.

[Riptides]

How insensitive of you!! Don't you know that democrats have special privileges allowed only to them? Especially if they are Muslime democrats? Shame on you! You need sensitivity therapy!

[depressed in 06]

To paraphrase Andrew H. Brown, "what this country needs, is a good $5.00 cigar."

[montag813]

Here, I'll file his report for him:

$300,000 Prince Faisal Bin Talal, Billionaire, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
$200,000 Mahmoud Ahamdinejad, Dictator, Tehran, Iran
$150,000 Hugo Chavez, God, Caracas, Venezuela
$100,000 Democratic National Committee

There, all taken care of

[OldFriend]

It was the cigar smoke that made him miss the deadline.

[DustyMoment]

Must be too busy banging his head on the floor and complaining to cops about Tancredo's cigars.

[Thermalseeker]

$5 per day? That'll teach 'em!

The IRS lost my 2005 personal return for 65 days, claimed I didn't send the return in on time, then tried to charge me $3700 in fines and penalties. Even though I produced the certified return mail reciept where they got it on time, and the reciepts from each estimated payment, all made on time, it took 3 letters to get them to back off. Let's see, $3700 divided by 65 =$60/day.

Seems like Mr. Ellison is getting a smokin' deal to me......

[mware]

Fined 5 dollars a day?????

Hmm and that blue star mom was being fined $25 dollars a day for flying the American Flag.
