Surely Thom Sawyer & his friend Huck both had to have had a hand in wielding so large a brush as to try to exonerate the scum of the CRU.

What does it take for people to realise that so-called "free speech" only applies to State controlled places, spaces,etc., or the privately owned "public spaces". Whether online or in meatspace, private places are under no obligation to allow all and sundry to natter on, or for that matter to sell their goods. It is freedom, and private property (real and "virtual") if you can't cope with the concept, please repeat your 5th - 9th form civic (social studies) classes.

You get NONE of this with a debit card. The only reason a debit card is preferable is if you don't have the self control to spend an amount you can pay off every month

Or if you don't want to pay a fee to have a credit card.
Or if you don't like the terms and conditions.
Or if you care AT ALL about your privacy, and don't want every purchase you ever made in the database of the big three, free for ANYBODY to look up.
Or if you want to ensure that any lucky identity thieves can't do anything to ruin your non-existent credit rating...
Or...

Poker is a game of incomplete information. You use the information that you do have to draw conclusions and then you make bets based on those conclusions. Good poker players tend to think about poker hands in terms of hand ranges. A hand range is every poker hand that an opponent will take a certain action with. Ideally you'd like to narrow your opponents range down to a single hand because you can then play perfectly against him (it would be very easy to play perfectly against someone who showed you their cards). Unfortunately thats not possible very often as there are 169 non-equivalent poker hands and our opponent is going to play many of them similarly. Each different piece of information that we get from our opponent however allows us to narrow his range and make a better decision. For example if I'm playing in a 9 handed game and someone raises from UTG(stand for under the gun or the first player to act) he is acting with the least amount of information. Therefore he has to player a tighter(better) range of hands. He is more likely to have a premium holding because he made a bet with very little information. If someone were to raise from the button (the last player to act on every street) his range of hands is considerably wider because he has more information with which to make his decisions and can therefore play more hands profitably. Thats a very basic description of hand analysis, but some other information we take into account is our opponents past tendancies, their position, what they perceive our range to be based on the actions that we've taken, and obviously what cards we have and what cards end up coming out of the deck on the flop turn and river.

For that matter, there should probably be another level of simplified 1040EE to catch the next most common group of complications that are beyond an EZ.

There is; form 1040A, the "short form", plus Schedule L as noted by others.

Things don't really get messy, though, until you have to do schedule C. The 1040 long form + Schedules A and B is long, but not too complex. Schedule C is an f'ing nightmare because of having to figure out each category of expense, plus possibly worrying about depreciation (if the expense doesn't qualify for Section 179, anyway), inventory (if you have it), etc.

Plaid Cymru?

In the US "Bubba" is a normative designation usually for poor, white, southern "cracka" jailbird types. So go try to play your phony "uber-left" emo-punk race card elsewhere.
