I don't know if anyone's noticed, but the big "Fiscal Cliffageddon Tax Dealio" all over the news really doesn't seem to add up to much.
I consider myself a regular guy with a regular job. I'm certainly not what anyone here in the states would call "rich". Let's just say I make something south of $100k, military pension included.
I got myself a nice raise last month with the promotion I talked about. Nothing fancy, but it's always nice to get a few extra bucks for doing a good job.
Now I find out that my raise is just going to cover the tax increase that's about to hit me this month, (I think it's to cover Obamacare?) and that's after the "Tax Deal That Saved America"
Oh well. It was nice while it lasted.

ZOMG!!! BAN WATER!

The water poster forgot the reason that W.C. Fields never drank water: "Fish fuck in it."
Yep. Just depressing isn't it.
I had a student write his research paper calling for a nationwide ban on dihydrogen monoxide. At that point, I made them turn in their paper with the copy that they had peer reviewed, and all three of their classmates that reviewed their paper were supporting their proposal. Nobody knew it was satire, or that dihydrogen monoxide was water.
I laughed for ten minutes, and the kid got an A.
Good point, and don't forget the payroll deduction going back up 2.2%... that's another chunk...
Guess I need to switch to drinking beer instead of water. Tough sell!
But if you ban water, where will I get my ice for my Jack or Scotch? Oh the pain!!!
That 'ban dhmo' website is still around...meanwhile, why ruin good Scotch with an ice cube??!? Horrors!
Bob - Good one.
A Girl - They never pay me enough anyway.
HH - I need to sign up for your class
Old NFO - Funny how it's not in the news.
Andy - Good choice!
Coffey - Inorite?
Don - Sorry, I'm also one of those heretics who ices his scotch.
