Razor burn. It's a bitch.

[p0tat0es]

Anybody know why razors are so goddamned expensive? I'm sure there's all sorts of tooling involved to get those three or five or howeverthefuck-many blades sharpened just so and stuck into that little plastic casing, and then you have to add the (dis) comfort strip and whatnot.

But I say goddamn. GOD-DAMN!

I redid my taxes. I still owe $49.30. What the f.

I've always wondered that about razors. Doesn't matter which way you go, disposable or Ultra Mach VItra. SHIT.

Look! It's the new 12-blade razor!

the Quintippio!

Which is okay if you bleed rainbows.

So I forgot a couple of things when filling out my W4 for California this year... one of those things being my profit sharing and the other being that because I'm still a Washington girl at heart I just completely failed to file state taxes at all last year. I think I would up owing just over $1,000.

I honestly don't know where they think that money is going to come from.

Um...is that like the Money Pimp?

the cynic in me says those things prolly cost like 30 cents to make and they just gouge us on them because they can.

We should have a shave-out. Boycott the motherfuckers.

I mean, sure, then there'd be a whole shitload of Grizzly Adams-lookin' sonsabitches around, but we're gettin' SCREWED. I think it might be worth it.

Point one:
We are totally continually jacked by the Razor Bastards. I'm considering moving to a straight razor because it's reusable, has mad mad cred, and can serve as a nifty infighting weapon.

Point two:
I have my workplace withold extra so I can be relatively sure of being able to pay taxes when they come around: I generally get a little back from the feds and promptly get it shoved up my ass by the state and the city. Which is why I'm surprised to see that my calculations grant me An Absurd Sum for my state return.

There is no way I'm getting any money back from the state. Much less the Absurd Sum that my calculations show I'm owed.

But I had no more time to go over my work again. They'll tell me I got it wrong, send it back, and I'll owe five hundred bucks. Blarg.

Unless I really bollocksed something up, my work should be withholding the maximum amount possible, so that I wouldn't (theoretically) have to pay out.

I never had to send the IRS a check until Bush came into office. Makes ya wonder...

Thereyago. Although under a different regime, I might not mind paying my taxes as much. As it is...

You know, I have never, ever understood the phenomenon of the Young Republican - how anyone under the age of fifty could ever imagine that conservative types could ever operate in the interests of anyone but the absurdly rich and the corporate is utterly beyond me.

How does it happen? Does it come from reading Rand and failing to recover?

I don't get it either. I guess if you're just born square, you don't really have a choice.

I know lots of people who have Atlas Shrugged on their bookshelf, but I don't think any of them have read it...

I keep meaning to tackle it in a Know Your Enemy sort of way, but I always have something else more enticing on my reading list. Shopping lists. Obituaries.
