The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

"President Barack Obama has the legal authority to unleash deadly force—such as drone strikes—against Americans ----on U.S. soil--- without first putting them on trial, Attorney General Eric Holder wrote in a letter released Tuesday."

You better keep your phone locked.
I don't censor people. I cut off trolls, You are a troll.
How is that different from big government? Simple: I own this blog. I make the rules because it is my property.
You have no inherent right to speak here, especially when you are not trying to communicate, but are trying to destroy.
Don't like it? Go start your own blog and see if you can attract an audience.
You've got as much "right" to post here as anyone--which is to say whatever rights I give you. This blog is private property, and if you were actually a Libertarian you'd know that means I have the absolute right to do any damn thing I like with your comments.
Want me to leave your comments up? Then post something that has something to do with the post you are commenting on, and stop posting crap about other people that has nothing to do with them.
Otherwise go the hell away or quit whining. Your choice--just remember--when you piss me off it takes less time to delete them than it does for you to write them.
Sounds like someone didn't pass basic civics ...

By the way, you are done for the evening here.
