The Black Republican

The stranger seated next to me at the lunch counter shared an interesting rumor. Seems that he has heard that during the Republican Convention, Bush will call for a flat tax. The restaurant owner scoffed, saying that the accountants would go out of business. Actually, (If I were feeling ambitious I would supply a link here, but what good are rumors supported by references?), the CPAs have supposedly endorsed a flat tax, seems they believe they can make more money doing financial planning.

I can not tell you where I heard that SUVs are secretly planning a counter protest against the anti-RNC protestors in NYC. Word is that the owners of the environment destroying, people hating vehicles are not, I repeat, are not aware of the plans being hatched by their own transportation devices. The owners are none the less responsible for whatever actions are taken by the SUVs, chain of command, you know. The bu(i)ck doesn't stop where the rubber meets the road! Of course the SUVs have the potential to wipe out the entire population of NYC if they are not restrained. The omni-directional emission of deadly gaseous toxins will do untold damage to non-combatants even if the SUVs are sober enough to target only their intended foe with their main weapon, which the manufacturer calls a bumper. It will be hell to pay for bumper, thumper and the gentle as a rabbit peace protestors if this plan goes forward.
