YOUR TAXES AT WORK

Hat-tip to rm64 for this one....

ZERO GRAVITY

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 BILLION, developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface including glass, and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300c.

The Russians used a pencil.

Your taxes are due again -- enjoy paying them.

Too often I am a woman of TOO many words. These few words pretty well sum it up -- so I won't waste your time by trying to say it better.

Until we control the politician's ability to sell OUR souls to lobbyists for special interests we shouldn't expect anything to change. Wasn't there a time when this process at least appeared to be for the good of the people not the pockets of elected crooks?
