Rumblings: Welcome To The Machine
>>> Well, for starters, Genius Pundit professional watercooler-asshole Michael Smerconish wants to tax fatties using an elaborate system of “caloric credits.” We’re actually kind of into this, right up until the point where you start thinking about what might happen if L&I were in charge of what you eat. [Inky]
>>> Also, let’s welcome Metro PCS, the very ghetto-est of the many ghetto-ey cell phone services out there. Where you at! Oh, you’ve left the city limits. I cannot hear you. [TheClog]
>>> While you were just reading that NASDAQ snuck up and owned your ass. [PBJ]
BONUS ROUND: Two great tastes that taste like ass (and handbag leather) together: Daily Candy and Comcast. You two deserve each other. Where are you guys registered? [Gawker]

Posted at Philly.com, ’cause I’m a jerk:
“The Government should also tax moronic opinions. The way I see it, we could publicly elect officials to monitor and filter idiotic opinions, ideas and observations prior to their expression. That way, when simpletons express proposals such as fat-taxes, the officials can classify the opinion into one of 5 classifications of stupidity (to be bureaucratically determined) and multiply it by a factor reflecting the prospective audience to said stupid opinion. The perpetrator of said stupid opinion will be taxed accordingly. Gradually, the Government will amass the funds required to construct the truncheons and work-camps required for penalizing for repeat offenders.”

Luckily for Mikey, we have not started taxing exceptionally unfunny op-ed pieces. I’m sure it would rake in millions from his ilk…
