Well, I Did My Part

I actually had to pay income tax this year due to a change in the tax laws affecting the amount of unemployment compensation which can be taxed -- a change based, no doubt, on the theory that the one group of people most likely to be living large in this current economy is all those good folks collecting unemployment. My check is winging its way towards the IRS as we speak so if our beloved president can't find a way to get rid of that $4 trillion deficit this year, he certainly can't blame me.
