1 Small Step...
I remember the whole family gathering around my grandpa's big, wooden console t.v. to watch this. I don't think my little tyke brain could grasp what was really going on, but I knew it was big.
(hard to believe it's been 40 years)
this, however was something I could easily comprehend.
mmmm, chocolate.

Happy Tax Day...
(... or, Get Out Your Tea Bags)
here's a little tidbit on who is actually shouldering the majority of the tax burden in this country. just something to keep in mind while you're out there teabagging today.

A Senate report estimated in 2008 that the United States loses up to $100 billion a year in tax revenue to offshore tax havens. In a report released Wednesday, the U.S. Public Interest Research Group offers a state-by-state breakdown of the cost to taxpayers of tax revenue lost to "shell companies and sham headquarters" in places like Switzerland and the Cayman Islands.
The practice soaks dutiful taxpayers in every state for hundreds of millions of dollars, according to U.S. PIRG. The citizens of New York and Texas shoulder over $8 billion a year, and the good people of California are on the hook for an extra $11 billion.

it's a toss-up
I can't decide which makes me sadder:
Was Pittsburgh shooter driven by right-wing gun paranoia about Obama?
or
Obama explains how the world works to Americans
neither bodes well for us as a nation.
