What? Taxes are due today? Looks like I better meet with that new accountant tonight to see if she can handle my extension.

You mean the angry inch?

Well, at least we know who won't be the next hockey coach at SJU.  Good move for him if he wasn't in line as Harrington's successor.

I still have a hard time believing the word "awesome" gets used much in the Gagliardi household.  Peg must be hanging out at CSB.

Rumor is that Frank Zappa wrote this song after a concert swing through central Minnesota.  Maybe he bumped into the Gagliardis at the St Could Mall...

Speaking of outrageous tax proposals...

SACRAMENTO - California Assemblyman Jim Beall (D-San Jose) proposed raising the state's beer tax to 30 cents per can or bottle, a 28-cent jump. "The people who use alcohol should pay for part of the cost to society, just like we've accepted that concept with tobacco," said Beall, a freshman lawmaker.

Beall said the tax would generate $2 billion a year to fund health care services, crime prevention and programs to prevent underage drinking and addiction.

"The people who use alcohol should pay for part of the cost to society, just like we've accepted that concept with tobacco," Beall said.

He added that the beer tax hasn't been touched since 1991, and the increase then was meager.

But the freshman lawmaker will have to lift the legislative equivalent of a full keg of beer over his head to get his tax enacted. That's because it would require a two-thirds vote in the Assembly and Senate - and then, because it's a constitutional amendment, it would have to be approved by voters. Republicans say it's a non-starter.
...

Mike Fox Sr., chairman of San Jose-based beer distributor M.E. Fox & Co., said Beall's heart is in the right place. "He's very dedicated in areas of health," Fox said. "But a tax of that nature is far too grievous. The beer industry produces so much for the economy. He won't get to first base with that." Dan Gordon, co-founder of Gordon Biersch Brewing Co., calculated that the tax on a barrel of beer would go from $6.40 to $89. "We would all be looking for jobs," he said.
...

I predict another Boston Tea Party if this passes, only it won't be tea being poured into the ocean.

So help me God, if that passes, I will demand the Navy pay me extra for hardship duty!

That or just drive the extra 6 miles to buy my beer in Mexico.

As far as the Tea Party idea, it would be lawmakers being dumped into the ocean, not the blessed liquids. Otherwise everyone would be drinking the ocean.

Would Peg Gagliardi use the term "awesome"?

A writer for the KC Star is campaigning for sports broadcaster Pam Ward (who did the play by play for the 2003 Stagg Bowl) to do NFL games.  And it seems he's picked up some critical support - Peg Gagliardi.

The webster's definition of awesome is inspiring awe. Pam Ward's commentary inspires awe by how flipping clueless she is. The only reason she doesn't sound like a  special ed Monkey giving commentary in my 03 Stagg DVD is because she had a brain-dead Neanderthal in Chris Spielman talking too.

I agree with Pat that if her going to the NFL Network gets her off D3 games, I'm all for it. That would give me another reason besides price not to get the NFL Network.

The NFL channel comes on my Dish package.  I do not watch it at all.  If it folded tomorrow I would not miss it at all.  Bryant Gumble doing the games is horrible.

I concur.

When Melrose went off on him I was shocked, though.  

I don't come in here much but I assume lots of people are wild fans ? ( maybe a bad assumption) -- Their games have been interesting to say the least!

There was a Minnesota phone company that was going to hire one team of telephone pole installers, and the boss had to choose between a team of two Norwegian guys and a team of two Irish guys. So the boss met with both teams and said, "Here's what we'll do. Each team will be installing poles out on the new road for a day. The team that installs the most phone poles gets the job."

Both teams headed right out. At end of the shift the Irish guys, Pat & Mike, came back and the boss asked them how many they had installed. They said that it was tough going, but they'd put in twelve.

Forty-five minutes later the Norwegian guys, Ole & Sven, came back in and were totally exhausted. The boss asked, "Well, how many poles did you guys install?" Ole, the team leader wiped his brow and sighed, "Sven and me, ve got three in." The boss gasped, "Three? Those two Irish guys put in twelve!" "Yah," said Ole, "but you should see how much dey left stickin' outta da ground!"
