I could argue both sides of that issue. <br /><br />On one side..there are many people in jail/prison that are just like one of us..one of our family or one of our friends..and maybe they actually are.. They just had some very bad luck. <br /><br />On the other side of the issue...there are some who you would like as if they were one of your family..or a friend..but they are evil to the core. They are so charming/manipulative that you feel totally comfortable with them from the time you meet them. <br /><br />The biggest problem is...it's hard to tell the difference and I'm not sure a governor would know the difference.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-80980688564770759482012-01-13T18:14:56.697-06:002012-01-13T18:14:56.697-06:00Coreen..I'm glad you are happy with your weath...Coreen..I'm glad you are happy with your weather.

I like to read it. <br /><br />Feeling my age today. It seems every week now that John or I hears of a friend who has died or is near death. <br /><br />I remember when my dad was alive, almost every time he would call, he had news of the death of one of his friends or acquaintances.

Both were good last night. The comedians can turn our pitiful situation into something we can laugh about. It's better than crying. <br /><br />Colbert has been schooling us in the concept of the SuperPacs. He started that last year. He has some significant lawyer to explain the rules..or should I say lack of rules for the SuperPac. I'm sure most Americans don't have a clue about thoses rules. <br /><br />Colbert formed a SuperPac last year and raised quite a bit of money. Now he has to turn that SuperPac over to someone else because he is forming an exploratory committee to consider running for president of South Carolina. He's polling at 5% in the PPP poll. <br /><br />Last night he turned his SuperPac over to Jon Stewart. SuperPacs aren't suppose to coordinate with the candidate but they can be run by a friend..business partner.. or dad..as in Huntsman's case. Ya just can't coordinate with the person running it. It's a big joke.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-42225137640271586602012-01-13T05:40:00.949-06:002012-01-13T05:40:00.949-06:00And speaking of weird...today is FRIDAY THE 13.

It was in the Clinton era and most of the people..doctors and pharm reps were Repubs. They hated Clinton.<br /><br />They used to get pleasure in picking on me. They'd say something that they knew would set me off and watch me steam up and go into a rant. <br /><br />I finally caught on when I noticed the little gleam in their eyes.

I asked what kind of work he did. He said he didn't work. Then I asked how he was getting an income tax return if he didn't work. He said well..he worked.. but for cash. I asked if he paid quarterly taxes on the cash he made..like he would actually do that. He said no. I asked how could he get money back when he didn't put money it? He then started laughing and said he filled out his income tax return. He'd been doing that for years. I kinda put 2 and 2 together. <br /><br />When I told him what he was doing was criminal..he got real nasty. I called security and had them escort his ass out of my office. <br /><br />These creeps get by with this stuff and the IRS doesn't catch them. When I went from a low paying teaching job with income tax withheld to a higher paying contract job in the last quarter of the year..paying high self employment tax..the IRS sends me a letter making me prove I didn't cheat them for the first three quarters of the year.
