So what is Louisiana going to do with our tax dollars? Why they are going to toss them to Hollywood by giving the mega millionaires tax breaks to shoot movies there. This open handedness happens as the California Legislature refuses to pass a tax break for the zillionaires. But not to fear. The way it works in the Golden State is that when our honest legislators want money, they either bottle up legislation special interest groups thought they had in the bag til the affected industry coughs up big money for their "campaigns," or refuse to hold hearings on laws til the affected industry coughs up. So California will subsidize movies right after the honest legislators collect their bribes.

Suddenly the wild pennant races are all but over. Only the AL Central and the AL East, if you actually believe Boston can win, are still close. It's been a great ride.

Bet you didn't think of this one..... Farmers are worried as hell about their crops. Reason? The costs of drying the soybeans and corn have gone to the moon. So they are taking the risks of losing their entire crops by allowing them to dry "naturally" in the sun. Rain will spoil that one. Not to worry, they have insurance and farm subsidies to take care of them.
