  1. Not to sound like a downer, but I disagree. Tuesday night + curfew + peoples' high expectations = inevitable letdown. I remember people saying the same thing about the Auditorium shows last November (thinking that they would rival the 2003 Auditorium shows), only to say that they were good shows, but not the best. Let's hope that I'm wrong though.

     

    Aww man - don't kill my buzz. It's the perfect venue and the planets will be aligned just right.

  2. I am usually unlucky with this, but as it turns out I will not be able to try on Saturday, so I feel very fortunate right now.

     

    Also, I found a seating chart, but for some reason I can't upload the image as an attachment :ermm

     

     

    Can you post the link to the seating chart? Thanks...

  3. Wilco confirmed Monday that the Chicago band will headline a Sept. 12th concert at the Jay Prizker Pavillion in Millennuim Park.

    Net proceeds will benefit the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless.

  4. Cryer stopped filing income taxes more than 10 years ago

    A Shreveport attorney who has challenged the government for years on the legality of filing federal income taxes has been acquitted on charges he failed to file returns.

     

    A federal jury unanimously found Tommy Cryer not guilty this week on two misdemeanor counts of failure to file.

     

    And according to Cryer, the prosecution dismissed two felony charges of tax evasion prior to trial.

     

    Attempts by The Times on Thursday to reach U.S. Attorney Donald Washington or Bill Flanagan, first assistant U.S. attorney, were not successful. Calls made to the two were not immediately returned.

     

    "The court could not find a law that makes me liable or makes my revenues taxable," Cryer said. "The Supreme Court has ruled that the government cannot impose an income tax on anything but the profits and gains. When you work for someone you give your service and labor in exchange for money, so everything you make is not profit or gain. You put something into it."

     

    Cryer was indicted last year on two counts of tax evasion. The indictment alleged he evaded payment of $73,000 in income tax to the Internal Revenue Service during 2000 and 2001.

     

    Cryer created a trust listing himself as the trustee, and received payments of dividends, interest and stock income to that trust, according to the indictment. He also was accused of concealing his receipt of the sources of income from the IRS by failing to file a tax return on behalf of that trust.

     

    "I determined that my personal earnings were not 100 percent profits, some were income," Cryer said. "I refuse to file, I refuse to pay unless they can show me I have a lawful reason to pay."

     

    "What I earned was my own personal labor. I am giving something in exchange. I'm giving my property and I don't belong to anyone else."

     

    Cryer says he stopped filing returns more than 10 years ago after he investigated claims that income tax was a sham. He contends the law doesn't actually tax personal earning.

  5. Smart and sexy.

     

    Of course, she is Winnie from the Wonder Years. Not that there is anything wrong with that:

    As some of you already know, Danica took a hiatus from acting for college, and she graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics! While she was there, she even co-authored a math proof - new research proving an original math theorem - highly unusual for an undergraduate. In fact, she was the only undergraduate invited to speak at Rutgers University's biannual Statistical Mechanics conference a few years back, and she was featured in the Science section of the NY Times on July 19th, 2005. Although she has returned to acting full time, she still retains a passion for it, and likes to stay active.

  6. Impeachment proceedings would be damn foolish at this point in the game. The damage is done. Let history be the judge of this debacle.

     

    We have plenty to concern ourselves with besides the media melee that would go along with all that.

     

    Vote. Pay attention and vote. Faithfully. Locally and nationally.

     

    I just think impeachment would send a message to the rest of the world that we still have our shit together.

  7. The best thing for "The Right", "The Left", "The Middle", America, and The World, would be to Impeach Both the President and Vice President. There would be nothing but upside, and both parties could then call for early elections. The last thing I would want to see is theses two nut jobs pull the trigger on Iran. Unthinkable!

  8. I think it's fair to say that we demand some kind of action taken on this from our lawmakers. WSJ calls it a "Profile In Non-Courage".

     

    We need to impeach this guy for the sake of this country and its image/creditability around the world - Lets make George W. Bush take one for the team...
