Tax Day (4/15/98)

Yes indeedy, it's April 15, the day when all of us what still owes money to the gummint trek down to our mailboxes, hastily written checks weighing heavy in our hands. But rather than feeling all glum about this day, let's just take a second and be thankful for all of the things our money is paying for today.

  • Bombs
  • Kenneth Starr's Investigation
  • Newt Gingrich's Salary
  • Training Foreign Dictators
  • Blowing Up Foreign Dictators
  • Replacing Blown Up Foreign Dictators With New Foreign Dictators
  • Joe Lieberman's Campaign To Ban Everything Ever (except Andy Griffith reruns and Touched By An Angel)
  • Our Wonderful Interstate Highway System
  • Propping Up Oil Companies
  • Presidential Elections (if you checked that little box)
  • More Bombs
Me, I'd have just spent that money on toys, videogames, and books. Thank goodness it's not going to waste.
