I was searching on amazonmp3 for Econochrist songs, because everyone knows how much I love Econochrist, and I happened upon a multidisc album called Towncraft (Notes from a Local Scene) which looks like it has Soophie Nun Squad on the cover. It looks to be the soundtrack for a movie (likely about Little Rock AR), anyone heard of this? I’ll see what I find out.

Ed: Ope, here we are.

From the 2008-2009 New York State Senate Budget Report:
“The Senate rejects the Executive’s proposal to create a new tax on illegal drugs. ($13 million)”

If someone has figured out how to tax illegal substances, I, for one, would like to know this ingenious plan.

Also, “The Senate rejects the Executive’s proposal to increase the tax on flavored malt beverages. ($15 million)”

Close call! Mike’s Hard Lemonade prices would have skyrocketed and there goes my wine cooler weekends in NYC.

Robots are so cool like that.

This story comes from the hospital next door to my apartment. It’s the leading trauma and knife wound center in the Northwest. Lucky me.
