#1 DEMOCRAT Sen. Al Lawsonâs wipe-power-to-the-people!

I'd be willing to pay the 2cents if and only when we can force he-&-family to use wax-paper-rolls.

#2 Don't tell me. It's "for the children", right?

#5 What would you expect for such a scholarly article?!?

Can we get those little author background notes at the end? You know, like this:

Tom No-Last-Name is a hawkish freelance engineer in southeastern Pennsylvania. He is a member of the VRWC and a contributor to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

#6 Steve: Any reputable HTML manual will help¹... Fred has to keep us all in line-he doesn't have time to [marquee>teach us the tricks... We have to do our OWN research!

¹HTML for Dummies

(I imply no one's a dummy...just the title of the book...)

#7 This is pretty strange since most folks already pay a user fee for wastewater treatment as part of their utilities bill. If more money is needed for infrastructure, the fee should be raised, not some weird tax added.

#9 Recently at work a bunch of us pooled some money and bought lottery tickets. A co-worker and I, we are both named Richard, made a pact to buy a septic tank cleaning truck and paint on the side, "2 Dicks Pumping. You Dump It, We Pump It." I certainly hope we win.

#10 I'm reminded of the Beatles' song about the Tax Man.
