They don't turn'm into slaves son, they eat'm! I swear I've seen'm do it! They come in in the dead o' night wearing those black suits and their black sunglasses and zip zap zoom! Your kids gone!

Yep, all on one side. :roll:
Memo to media: tax payment issues are a bipartisan problem. | Media Matters for America
As usual the glass house doesn't seem to bother Republicans when they start hurling stones.
I'm guessing the two publicity whores who spent tax dollars to type up this bill have, as usual, left out members of congress?
