We are going for a new look in this climate of Hope & Change, start looking for new posts this coming week.

I'm giving the blog a new look since several of my regular readers have complained that the black background is hard to read, and since readers are a necessary component of successful publications I am caving on this one issue, however, don't expect any more caving. I promise to continue providing the same poignant, seldom kind, thought provoking and straightforward commentary as it has been in the past.

I curtailed blogging for a few weeks because, frankly, the news was just running together like a blur and more importantly my laptop took it's last breath and it's soul flew off into cyberspace several weeks back. I will have my new and much more powerful laptop later in the week, and in the meantime have had a chance to rest and refill my tank with a whole new batch of vitriol. See you later this week.

Thanks for reading,

Fear is the key element for the IRS in achieving it's mission. Without fear, the IRS would have a difficult time maintaining our so-called system of voluntary compliance.
