Of Taxes Due Today & Pirates

Is it that time? Oh sh** I have to file an extension. I was too busy attending one of those Tax protest rallies. The tax demonstrations were heavily promoted by FOX News but I didn't see too many other media outlets cover it. After today they will. CNN was pretty generous in their coverage. The event, called Taxed Enough Already, or TEA is a way for those who aren't happy with Obama's bailout/stimulus package rewarding some by using OUR tax money for bonuses while I get penalized for not paying my money on time. A lot of folks are pissed that's for sure. And what timing too coming some 235 years after the original Boston Tea Party revolt against taxes. Oh well I still have to file and pay. In other news Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today unveiled a diplomatic initiative to thwart attacks on ships off Somalia's coast and combat what she called the "scourge of piracy." Clinton said the State Department will "explore ways to track and freeze pirate assets," similar to measures used against drug traffickers and terrorists. Hello? They're pirates pantsuit lady. They have no assets or else they'd be using bigger boats instead of those rubber rafts which actually have been quite effective. I have a better solution Hillary. My idea won't cost the country anymore bailouts while appeasing fans of FOX News all at the same time. I know a lot of Right Winged folks out there who have guns and they need a paid vacation to decompress some. I mean, don't we all? Here's my suggestion. I have a list of all the countries whose ships sail through the pirate-infested waters off of Somalia. I would contact those shipping lines that need mercenaries onboard who will pay a flat fee to protect their oceangoing cargo vessels while at the same time offer up free accommodations for family members looking to get away on a cruise! I would also include a bonus attached for every pirate who gets whacked! Sorry, you'll have to bring your own ammo. Anyone?
