From today's newspaper:
A Detroit lawyer received a Dec bill from the IRS for, hold on to your hat, 5 cents! Yep, a whole nickel. He was informed to pay his bill, it wasn't an option, "to avoid additional penalty and/or interest." A second IRS letter was received informing the lawyer the federal gov't owes him money, 4 cents! Yep, less than a whole nickel. But, and this is your federal gov't in action, to receive his 4 cents, he'd have to request it. Why isn't it surprising that when he called the IRS 800 number, he was on hold a long time, so long he gave up.

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.
