Politically Incorrect

Political correctness will also be unavailing on the Last Day, if not sooner. It's far from the only sin, of course.

Merry Christmas to all from the Hobbses as well.

Cheers

Phil Hobbs

"Politically correct" is the ultimate oxymoron. Who could possibly know what's right?

But Merry Christmas is always right!

| 1962 | I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Also goodbye is a contraction of God be with ye, so that one needs to go soon too. The Merry Christmas is an allusion to indulging in alcohol more than anything else, replace it with: enjoy your drunken stupor.

Happy end of tax year and last chance to deduct. May all your deductions be acceptable and all your mistakes deniable. Santa's Tax Return:

Very good, well done Jeff!

Actually, there is no law that you have to pay income taxes. I know this so unds like tinfoilhattery but it really isn't. It has been researched to dea th by a plethora of people including legal scholars.

However, to stop paying is not an easy thing. The break the law continually , but only in certain cases. When someone is self employed, never filled ou t a W-4, just makes the money and takes the money, and does not file, he ha s a good chance of beating them on this. But a W-1040 is actually a contrac t and lying on that contract is punishable, bigtime.

And contrary to popular belief, not everyone who beats the IRS does it by j ury nullification.

However very few people beat them, [and those who do must learn law and how to conduct their own court case because lawyers will not do it. I know the process. It is only worth it to certain high income people. If you only ma ke like a hundred grand a year it is not worth the trouble. Get to about th ree times that and it starts looking good.

And if you do it, do not register to vote ever again.

But, what happened to the joke about the Rabbi getting audited ?

Lemme see here... ... ...

" A small synagogue was being audited by the IRS. The auditor was young a nd conniving; the Rabbi, old and wise.

"I've noticed you use a lot of candles," said the auditor. "What do you do with all of the wax drippings?"

"Oh," replied the Rabbi, "We collect all of the drippings and send them to the candle makers. Every so often, they send us a complete box of candl es for free."

The auditor thought for a moment, unwilling to accept defeat. "I've not iced you use a lot of matzo here. What do you do with all of the crumbs?" h e asks.

The Rabbi patiently replies, "We collect all of the crumbs, and send th em back to the maker. Every so often, they send us a complete box for free. "

The auditor becomes visibly agitated by the Rabbi's answers for everyth ing. Finally, he thinks he has something. "I've noticed you perform a lot o f circumcisions here. What do you do with all of the left over foreskins?"

The Rabbi pauses, then says, "We collect all of the foreskins from the circumcisions. We send them to the IRS and, every so often, they send us a complete Prick.""

Sno-o-o-ort!

This actually happened... when IRS started requiring filing estimated tax (mid 1950's ??), my father actually sent in a blank form with this comment: "If you want me to guess my income, why don't you guess who I am?"

I love to cook with wine.     Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Did they get his fingerprints off the blank form and pay him a visit? My problem is that next week is going to be pure hell for me. Never mind that I'm screwing around on Usenet instead of working on billing and bookkeeping. Christmas is the day when the multitudes are presented with new computahs, tablets, phones, gizmos, and whatevers. Starting Monday, I expect to be very busy making all these things work for those too lazy to read and follow the instructions. However, that's the easy stuff. During the same week, I'll have my business customers calling with "We need to spend some money in 2015 so we can deduct it. Can you get us some new computahs, like right now?" Of course, I have the same problem trying to backdate as many expenses into 2015 as possible. I'm now looking on eBay for test equipment and deductable junk to buy. By the time I get around to doing a dry run on my taxes, I'll probably be suicidal.

Bah Humbug(tm).

They did not have computerized fingerprint search databases back in the 50s ya dope.

Well, I did have a rum+coke at The Bar of America, but the caffeine mostly cancels the rum. What we're about to indulge in is chicken and dumplings, with The Vegetable

Probably because they didn't have suitable computahs. However, there were several good fingerprint classification systems functioning since about 1900 which could be used manually from a card file: The current system is IAFIS:

In the 1950's, the IRS didn't have a sense of humor and would chase down violators and culprits for absurdly small amounts. Today, they still don't have a sense of humor, but thanks to some rather embarrassing investigations and disclosures, have largely cut back on their retaliatory practices.

It cost the IRS $2.00 for every dime they recovered in the 70's and they were not doing fingerprints on documents. You got any more stupid references, dopey dumbfuck?

This is one reason why it's bad to have your fiscal year coincide with the calendar year.

Amazing.

(for what that means, refer to the "Harry Hoo" episode of "Get Smart" avail able on hulu)

What's more, even though they did not have the computerized system, they we re pretty familiar with fingerprints, and in some states it was in your dri ving record. It was on your license, and some people liked that because it was proof of ID. Unlike the liberals who want to let anyone vote who shows up at the polling place door.

How many Fibonaci numbers are in that picture?

The only people who ever mention political correctness are those who rail against it. I've never met anyone who supports it. Isn't that the definition of a strawman?

Happy New Year all.

Those who support it in a particular situation don't realise that it's political correctness.
