I am feeling pugnacious tonight, still irritated that Asheville City Council has called three 2:00 p.m. meetings in three weeks. This week’s darling meeting shall inform us ignorant masses about the city’s “budget challenges.”

What would I do if I could work a full week instead of taking a three hour unpaid vacation? Well, most importantly, I could generate income tax revenue for the federal and state government, but I would have less to pay my current income taxes on time, so the federal government would come out ahead by charging usurious interest on the unpaid balance. Yes. I think I should go to the meeting.

APRIL FOOL’S!
