I would love it if Obama or congress would "fix" the NSA but that will never happen. They just don't seem to have the balls for it.

That was basically my impression as it seemed that auditing a college student with a small income filing form 1040EZ wouldn't net much of anything even if I did screw it up. I would dread having an audit now given how complex my taxes have become, even with tax software it takes a good 6 hours.

They will but none of their customers will.

Think I have heard similar things before:

I think that is called current events.

How do I know you aren't one of THEM. I bet you have managed to infect my computer with some ultrasonic malware by responding to my initial post. Do not respond to this post I don't want any more of your malware.

They sit there and hem and haw over it, then start asking all sorts of questions like do you have any capital gains, 1099 income, gambling profits/losses. The auditor then wandered off to "check" some things comes back asks more stupid questions and wanders off again. Then apparently after gathering everything he needed sat down and questioned every line on my 1040 EZ form. I probably spent close to 7 hours at the Minneapolis IRS office 5 of which were sitting in a waiting room and 2 for the actual audit. I agree that you view of what should of happened is what I was thinking was going to happen since it was a 1040EZ with a single W2 and it took me like 5 minutes to fill out originally. I figured I would be in and out in about the time it took to actually do my return initially.

The only upright lamps we have are either in the master bedroom or are behind other furniture so they can't be tipped over. Kids do seem to like the strobe effect of flicking a light on and off as quickly as they can though. Then add in the arguments they get in over who gets to turn on the light and the back and forth of them turning it on and off while arguing over who gets to turn the light on and it is a wonder that those CFLs make it 2 years. I gather that LED bulbs do much better with this duty cycle so once the existing bulbs fail they will be replaced with those.

You must be new here.

I take it you have never been audited by the IRS. Worst thing I have ever had to endure, and that was as a college student filing a 1040 EZ and only having one job and a checking account. It was similar to one of those somewhat creepy police interrogation scenes in movies meets the stereotypical DMV waiting room.

No, they were a loon, but apparently TV makers listen to loons.

When I got my project car insured a couple of months ago they asked if I wanted to do this even though I am getting limited use collector insurance on it. I wanted to see how far along I could go before they figured out that such a device won't work on a 68 MG Midget. Sadly the agent didn't catch on and at the very end I told her that it wouldn't work because the only electronics in the car are the lights and wipers and it doesn't have a computer let alone a diagnostic port.

The most recently replaced ones are the ones that the kids can reach and like to turn off and on a bunch (kitchen, dining room, and bathroom) so they only last a little more than 2 years but others in the house are getting close to 7 years old.

"It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the—if he—if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement"
Do you really want to trust politicians?

You're not thinking big enough, why pull out a bomb when the whole over-sized fucking carry on bag is a bomb filled with explosives and nails, its not like your final destination requires a clean set of cloths. Also this would work best when done in the middle of a security line, on the busiest travel day which would also be a good time to have a "winter" coat on for some extra punch.
