The Tasgall Group

I was visiting my commercial mail drop today to collect my mail.  All my mail is sent there and all my accounts show that address as my home address.  Nowhere is my name linked to my home address except in the records of utility companies, something I couldn’t avoid easily (though it is possible).  As I was leaving the maildrop, the proprietor informed me that a Durham County Sheriff had come in looking to serve me with papers.  (more…)

I think we’ve mentioned it before in spoken conversations, but here is a definative source. TaxProf Blog: Gas Taxes Exceed Oil Companies’ Profits.

The government collects more in tax revenues applied to gas and oil than oil companies make in profits.

The next time Congress is pandering and trying to buy your vote, ask them to remove some of their legislated taxes instead.

It makes me wonder again why the CPI exclude taxes…

…and taking up whoring myself to these ladies.  I could say all kinds of crude things like “I’d love to make a deposit with her” or “Does this count as inside-her trading?” but I’ve got more class than that.

A new (to me at least) popular trend in blogging seems to be the “linkfest”, a blog post that is essentially a long list of one liner links to other blogs that the person found interesting that day or week.  It’s a great way to get exposed to a lot of information really quickly and to learn about new blogs.  Some blogs in particular seem to use this method often, like Abnormal Returns and The Kirk Report.  By doing this, bloggers help create a tight web of references that allow for quick information flow so I hope it becomes common.  But if everyone starts doing it, who will write the articles?
