I am still waiting for the Department of Revenue to repay my interest free loan to the North Carolina state government. Only a few months to go!

Anyway, my Dave Barry desk calendar offers this little bit of humor in preparation for tax day:

To you taxpayers out there, let me say this: Make sure you file your tax return on time! And remember that, even though income taxes can be a “pain in the neck,” the folks at the IRS are regular people just like you, except that they can destroy your life.

Of course, the IRS under the Obama administration vows to be a kinder, gentler government agency.
