Tea, taxes and trivia

I don't know why I always wait until the last day to get the taxes done. Usually I get a little money back but somehow I just can't bring myself to get it done early. So posting will be light until this evening but here's a few links.

Of course everyone will be watching to see how the Fox/Freedom Watch tea parties go. As it turns out Freedomwatch organized these from the start and these will likely go down in history as the first "grassroots uprising" featuring robocalls and cash prizes for attending. Round of applause for Dick Armey's client base for figuring out to put the paid into protest.

Meanwhile, everybody linked to this yesterday but in case you missed it, Shuster's commentary on MSNBC was such brilliant snark that Keith O should be a little worried that his fill-in host will get his job.

And on a totally unrelated note, a gallery of Michael Jackson's estate art that is going up for auction. Get your bids in early to beat the rush.
