Poor Calvin! I bet he had ulcers by the time he hit high school from worrying every December about what exactly Santa considered "good" or "bad".

It's about time somebody put ol' Hank up there with ol' Blue Eyes!

"Wake up Mama, turn your lamp down low!" Great wake-up music!

Gotta love the Bros.! Live at the Fillmore East, especially the deluxe edition remains the standard for live albums.

Calvin's tortured by absolutely convincing (to himself) rationalizations are classic.

K,
Nice site man.I enjoyed what you read about the Flat Tax. I'd kinda figured out most of it, in a general sense. Your explanation helped to flesh out my understanding.Thank you.

Good exchanging views with you at Leslie's, she's a wonderful woman and I sometimes exasperate her but she's always forgiving.

Thanks! When Steve Forbes raised the idea of a flat tax, my B.S. detector went off big time. I knew it had to be good for him, but sounded too good to be true for the rest of us.
