Give me the Mythbusters chick anyday, though.

Rep. Ron Paul, the 72-year-old libertarian-like, 10-term Texas congressman who's also running for the Republican presidential nomination, easily won his 14th District primary Tuesday and is set for easy re-election in November.
With about half the precincts counted (what's the rush--it's Texas) Paul was thumping Friendswood City Councilman Chris Peden by two-to-one.
Paul, the only Republican presidential candidate to oppose the Iraq war, is no longer the oldest presidential candidate since the 74-year-old Ralph Nader began his quadrennial quest for 3% of the vote. Paul has declined to endorse McCain, which pretty much dooms the Arizonan's candidacy in the eyes of thousands of Ron Paul Revolutionaries.
Paul's supporters will explain below that if it wasn't for a vast media conspiracy, lead by Fox News in cahoots with big banks and oil companies who tell newspapers what to print, their candidate might very well be the one celebrating 1,191 GOP delegates today. How Paul supporters know their candidate has been ignored when they claim to no longer read newspapers is unexplained.
Speaking of votes and hopeless causes, another presidential contender and House member, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, was getting a sufficient number Tuesday night to beat back four primary challengers in his home Cleveland district. The main competitor was City Councilor Joe Cimperman, who trailed Kucinich 52% to 33% in early returns, despite several endorsements by the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The liberal Kucinich dropped out of the Democratic presidential race and, using his list of national donors, most of whom don't live in Cleveland on purpose, Kucinich raised a reported $700,000 to protect his congressional seat.
Meanwhile, Kucinich is still married to his wife, Elizabeth, who looks a whole lot nicer than he does. So we're publishing her photo instead.

Nah, can't be.
I've was reading threads here for weeks, posted by the political guru know-it-alls, that said he was going to get his ass kicked.
Must be a fluke or something.
LOL
Looks like some RINOs have a big fat plate of crow to eat!
I am sick that Ron Paul won’t be my president. He would either cut down the IRS or get rid of it. Last Friday we got a note in the mail from IRS, certified letter, had to wait till Monday morning to pick it up from PO. Assumed we were being audited. I didn’t sleep all weekend. I am a heart patient and I felt like my chest and head were exploding. Normally we do our own taxes and have never had a problem - 35 years. This time we were back and forth between Texas and California so our company paid to have our taxes done by professionals. So we have no idea how well done they were or how badly. But the jerk FORGOT to do them and did them late. We always mail ours in on April 15 exactly. Deloitte & Touche was the company. It was very stressful the way they did our taxes so slow and had to get extension - because they FORGOT to do our taxes. Dennis had to keep after them to DO our taxes. It was stressful. Then the certified letter Friday. The sleepless stressful weekend.
Law abiding US citizens should not live in FEAR of the federal government. We work, pay our taxes, and every year tax time is so stressful.
The letter was because the IRS is also stupid. They thought we didn’t pay three small checks last year. We did. They cleared our bank account in October. This is the second time they have hounded us for these three small checks. We have to go to the bank and pay for copies and mail them to the IRS, then like clockwork, they send us another threatening letter demanding these checks. That they already deposited, that already cleared our bank.
The IRS should be abolished. A national sales tax would be much better. I was watching HGTV last night and they were interviewing homeowners across the US and one couple said they pay $10K a year in property taxes. That is COMMUNISM.
Laying pipe? Nah, he’s just rich. No way is he laying any pipe to speak of. I just can’t accept that.
LOL!
This kind of incompetence happens all the time with my business. They are by far the most unprofessional organization I've ever run across that wasn't employing Mexicans. (As far as I know.)
As for your property tax statement, let me just head off the IRS defenders now by saying that property tax is a county issue, not Federal, as I'm sure you know. But your point is made- taxes are taxes- the rape and pillage mentality of politicians needs to be brought under control. They must think we're a herd of cattle to be milked and slaughtered.
Do you always have your guests wear name tags at your Christmas parties? That seems a bit odd...
That’s so they can look at the tag and know their own names
These three old kooks (well, I guess Kookcinish isn’t THAT old) should go out and get day jobs...flipping burgers at McD’s is about all the three of them are really qualified for. Good for laughs, anyway. Jerks !!!
I'm sorry, but I uncontrollably laughed OUT LOUD when I read that!
These stupid, stupid newspapers STILL think they are the only source of news for us!!! LOL! LOL! LOL!
Aside from that, I don't get to vote in my state until May, and I plan on voting for Ron Paul. He is the most conservative candidate still on the republican ballot. I'm glad to see he trounced his opponent last night.
Me too.
I don’t see how it could have been any other way. The man raised millions in his Quixotic run for president and spent next to nothing so naturally he could buy his house seat he’s probably having a good laugh at the morons who got so excited over him. He’s laughing all the way to the bank.
This time? If it's the 2007 Tax Year you wouldn't be getting any notice(s) since the deadline isn't until April 15, 2008. Quarterly filers are the exception but since you indicate you always file on the last day of the filing season we will assume you file annually.
If it was for the 2006 tax year you never questioned not receiving a copy of your tax returns or having to pay additional taxes or getting a refund? Something smells about your story.
Sweet Victory!
While watching a recent MythBusters episode, my husband wondered just how much Kari gets hit on by awed geeks.
My answer was, “Probably always.”
I wish more conservatives were like Ron Paul
Actually, Ron Paul is an obstetrician, and three of his kids are medical doctors. I think his private sector credentials are quite in order.
