Really want to know if this is just down to obesity being redefined.

I waited until literally the last minute because I thought I was going to have to pay, then when I used Turbo Tax's estimator it said I would be getting $2K back.  I had to file the extension anyway because I didn't have time to do them but I am in a hurry to do it now.  :Embarrass:

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Teacher lockout entering 3rd week. New poll shows that basically all teachers have gone from voting for the center-left coalition government to supporting the extreme left, and 10% the extreme right.

What parties are the extreme right & left?

Danish Peoples Party (wants to appear social democratic, but hates Muslims, uncivilized people such as the New Zealanders and young people)).

You came really close to selling me. :(

They don't sound *that* extreme.  At least when compared to other places.

Perhaps not, but Danes aren't usually extreme at anything.

Your top marginal rate is pretty extreme.  I read an article about how rich people are monsters and traitors to the American Way in the NYT today when I was supposed to be getting exploited for my labor, and one of the comparators was your country, and it turns out Kongeriget Danmark's top rate of 60% (!) starts at like US$54k.  Even I'm not sure that's not too far.  Maybe your commies don't appear revolutionary because the revolution already happened.

I completed mine today and e-filed.
:yeah:  Took me half an hour.  I wonder how long the audit will take?  :hmm:

Got my vegan wingtips.  I'm wearing 'em, they're pointier than I thought, but they look alright and feel great.  But, I noticed, of course, the stickers on the bottom of the soles--reading, naturally "made in China."  Some days, I guess, you just can't not harm the world you live in. :(

Note SC's slide into poop brown.  If you want a vision of the future, imagine the only thin woman left in the state moving to California forever.
