Lots of famous art may have been inspired by taxes. Jackson Pollack's "Number 5" could be a visual representation of global regulations. And perhaps Rodin's "The Thinker" is a man trying to understand those rules. Maybe Roy Lichtenstein's "Ohhh ... Alright ..." shows a woman being told to continue holding to get her tax question answered. And they there's Edvard Munch's "The Scream" ... Nothing makes you feel like that more than preparing a tax return! |

I heard a rumor that he's going to deliver presents using drones this year! I hope not! Drone technology is far less reliable than Rudolph and the other reindeer! And besides, Christmas eve won't be the same if the sound of sleigh bells is replaced by the buzzing of a drone! My big brother said if I don't make his bed for him every day, he'll hack into Santa's database and put me on the "naughty" list. I've never trusted his computer system. And e-mail. I ask for presents with a hard-copy letter, and I'm getting his phone number so I can follow-up with a text. I'm just here to find out if gift requests are negotiable. If so, I'll have my rep give his rep a call. |

A Visit With Santa in the 21st Century. I don't know what platform he uses. So I've got my list on both Mac and Windows! Let's get his pager number in case we change our minds about what we want. I was good all year long … My brother just cheated and hacked into the Naughty - Nice database! He's asking kids what gifts they want. Doesn't he read his e-mail?! What's your cell phone number? I want to put it on my speed dialer. I told him that I'd buy some stuff on EBay, and have the bill sent to him. |
