I personally did not know untill the customes at my work started complaining about paying $.13 tax on faxing instead of the normal $.06 sales tax.

Where that money goes is anyone's guess- certainly not into our overcrowded classrooms.

Found this on Crooks and Liars.

Senator open to TV chat about Internet "tubes"

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mocked by comedian Jon Stewart for calling the Internet a bunch of tubes, U.S. Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Stevens said on Thursday he is open to going on Stewart's popular "Daily Show" for a rebuttal.
ADVERTISEMENT

The comedian has parodied the dean of the Senate Republicans for rejecting calls by some Internet companies for a law to block high-speed Internet providers from charging higher prices to carry certain content. Backers of such a law say it would preserve what they call "Net neutrality."

Something weird:

Video on net neutrality

It 'stars' a whole lot of "popular freaks" from the internet over that last 5-10 years.

Are they all for real??

LOL!
