   I am so sick of these taxes, I am seriously considering becoming a Democrat to save some money, because when a Democrat doesn’t pay their taxes its Turbotax’s fault, if a Republican is off by more than 0.1% they need to testify before a grand jury.

    So is this defining the threshold of pain for the Obama Administration? Any tax evasion over $100k cannot be forgiven, anything under is “a mistake”?

    How many of these folks were over the magical $250k/year rich people that Obama was going to tax more? Could it be, I dunno, all of them?

     Obama said Tuesday he accepted the withdrawal “with sadness and regret.”

     I accept his withdrawal with much laughter! Who’s next??? Pass the popcorn! This only gets better by the hour!

     Quick! I am running out of popcorn! I’m making a run to Costco and buy in bulk!
