Lovin' every minute of it !!! Side note : Did you hear that members of the Maine legislature will be introducing a bill to remove gender from the State's Marriage Statutes. Glad they are doing it through the legislature and not the courts. This is better than any movie in the theater right now.

Crooks and cheats. And the press doesn't give a damn. I'm coming to the conclusion that this is going to take a revolution folks. A peaceful, protesting revolution of the few people who would like to play by the rules and are feed up with being treated as chumps by the ruling class. For the change agent to shrug his shoulders and simpy say "hey Tim made a mistake, we all make mistakes " is unacceptable! When the hell was one of these bumms held accountable for errors that regular people go to jail and pay fines for?? How's the Charlie Rangel case going? Huh Huh And when any Republican bothered to ask Ms Hillary about the Clinton foreign donation conflicts she brushed off the questions, and the press called it a masterful performance.

Yep, dummies and crooks. Their excuse, a misunderstanding, an oversight. In otherwords, he’s not a crook, just dumb. Gosh. Bet the MSM take will be, “he’s so qualified, Obama picked him, he must be great, we’ll overlook this”. If it was a regular American, we’d be getting lawyered up to battle the IRS to stay out of jail. So this fabulous transition team…..this flawless performance by the chosen one and his team have given us Richardson, accused of pay for play and has to crawl back to NM. He’s gives us Timmy Geithner, Treasury Sec who can’t figure his taxes properly. And now today Hillary Clinton for Sec State who has conflicts from here to Saudi on why she shouldn’t be head of the State Dept. Joy.

The fact is that our income tax system is incomprehensible to even experts. It is past time to simplify it. I like to point out that the IRA deduction was created in the early 1970s. It was simple and straight-forward. Now the booklet issued by the IRS for IRAs is over 100 pages long. I am a CPA. The fact is that our income tax system is incomprehensible to even experts.
