Hey, all. It's a quick hit today. Things have been busy and I am running on no sleep. More some other time.

So, I watched the collin Quinn show... was boring and borderline offensive. I see Lorne Michaels is Exec. Producing and Tina Fey gets writer credit. So it's sort of an SNL spin-off, I guess.

Quicks..

IRS goes after tax dodges
This would have been a good scam if I had found out about it earlier... seems to pay a lawyer on an island with lax tax laws to open an account for you at a bank. The bank issues you a Mastercard. The money to pay for the card comes from the bank (you just send the lawyer more money every so often). Your bill gets mailed to the lawyer's post office box and he just shreds it. You never see a bill, the card is probably not even in your name. You're not stealing from anyone... unless you funded the account with unreported earnings. The IRS says that there's a lot of that going on and they're going after people now.
