I heard from a customer earlier, that Pope John Paul II has died. Now that I have had a chance to get home I see that it is true. Doesn’t mean a hell of a lot to me, just that a world leader has passed away, but my wife and her family are catholic, so I suppose it is much more important. I called her to let her know. I am more interested in seeing who they pick as the next Pope. I will certainly try to follow that. I remember when he became the pope, but I was 12 at that time, so alot of what I remember is skewed by a 12 year olds memories, which are always larger than life.

More on the Fairtax
George Will posted a very good article on the National Sales Tax. A good read.

Dog Snot Diaries
Cut off their hands and ears and rip out their tongues. Stick them in the county jail with signs on their uniforms that say “Child Molester” (becuase what else is this but a different form of molestation). See how long they last. Hopefully at least a couple of months before someone finally sticks a knife in their backs.
Hell, you don’t even have to waste the money to stick them in jail. Bring back the fucking town stock. Want to increase traffic back into downtown areas? Chain a child beater up next to the main drag. I’ll fucking be there.
