First comment! Woo hoo!

Sean Daily:

A nickel tax for kissing a woman on the cheek? What's the tax for shtuping her?
  7:15pm
D:

Is this about as right wing as FMU gets?
  7:17pm
Sean Daily:

No, it's just an observation of an important annual event. We play Christmas songs at Christmas, so it seems logical to play tax songs at tax time.
  7:17pm
G.:

Apparently taxes have always been unpopular, who'd have guessed!

Nice selections as always, Joe...

Thanks, Joe, for reading that Armenian translation! "Let me be shoes for your feet"

I know, it's lovely, isn't it?
