He figured to have a starring role in the Cute Kitten format we've decided not to have. I’m afraid we’ve disappointed Barb’s cat, Andy.

Ah well, you can lead a whore to culture, but you can't get a Republican to read a book. Too bad our collective brilliance goes unnoticed by the people who could use a swift kick in the edification.

But since nobody who makes more than $250,000 a year pays his fait share, it's up to the poor excise tax to sop up the difference which it can't do because it's not big enough. The best thing you can say about excise taxes is that they are egalitarian in the respect that people who can or can't afford them get the golden opportunity to pay the same amount.

And that's what keeps me confused. An inland tax on products made and consumed within the country should be called an INCISE TAX, and you should grit your incisors when paying it. Excise means to take out, doesn't it? I thought it was Bush who started naming everything as the opposite of its true purpose -- a Clear Skies Act and Clean Streams Act that allowed, nay, encouraged unlimited pollution. But excise taxes have been around since before Bob Taft. Exactly. And that’s what keeps me confused.

As Americans, we're all paying a back-breaking excise tax which threatens to destroy our country: it's called the Republican Congress.
