DEATH AND TAXES

Boy, have I got some amazing video for you — Watch this. Crazy, huh? Do you know what that is? Watch it again. Try pausing it. That's no MRI, and no computer simulation, either. That's the real thing. Best of all, your tax dollars paid for it!

Speaking of taxes, is it really possible that I owe $1,747 to the District of Columbia — after they've already withheld several thousand dollars from my paycheck? If so, this blog may go on hiatus once they throw me in jail — because I can assure you, I don't have any sum near that just sitting around, waiting to prop up the worst schools in the country. Then again, I could always start a prison blog.

UPDATE, THURSDAY — Well! Amn't I glad I went to H&R Block. They took a bigger cut than I'd have preferred to surrender, but I am getting at least three figures from the feds, the District and Virginia. But next year I'm using Turbo Tax.
