They'll round it down to $66.666 because their plan is diabolical.

Maybe here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wi... "In late March 2010, Clergy Voice sent another letter to the IRS asserting that residents at C Street failed to pay taxes on the allegedly discounted portions of their allegedly below market rents. Clergy Voice stated that a one-bedroom apartment on Capitol Hill would cost at least $1,700, while rent at the C Street house for members has been $950 a month including housekeeping services, and thus the renters should pay income tax on the difference. The group also surveyed the Capitol Hill rental market and found that nearby hotels charge a minimum of $2,400 per month and corporate housing costs a minimum of $4,000 per month. In 2002, the Los Angeles Times reported that C Street charged Senators and Congressional representatives $600 per month for rent. In 2009, WORLD Magazine report that C Street charged about $950 per month for rent."

"heirs and assigns" is a nice touch.

How does it work? Do you need to indicate who your rep is?

You put in your zip code and #Resistbot figures it all out for you and texts you questions like " What do you want your letter to say?".

Too bad this is up in Canada. There are probably some Americans who would drink this straight up given the AHCA vote today.

There has to be another word to use for this jerk. Let's ask a sailor.

I have spent the past week in bed because I had to haul my RA-addled body up and down staircases at the high school where I substitute teach because the elevators were out last Friday. I am never supposed to use stairs. Ever. As a result, all my joints froze up--even my ribs and collarbones--and I spent my time trying not to move. Because of the pain. Can't even get pain meds anymore because addicts. I have read books, watched Rachel, my BFF, read liberal blogs, and yelled at the tv. I said the F bomb for the first time in my life when Paul Ryan cried tears of joy at screwing over sick people, like me. When I needed cheer I read Wonkette because Hahahahaha, you guys are so droll. Especially Evan, who is of the Southern persuasion, like me.

I hope to teach tomorrow. Pray for elevator health.

C Streeters are Dominionist Christian Republicans who share a house to avoid temptation and sin. Jeff Sharlet has written several books about "C" Street and its inhabitants. They are scary folks.

I have a young RA client and also a young client with ankylosing spondylitis so I know (a little) what you must be feeling. The old cranky elevator went out in my building the day one of them came in for their appointment I felt horrible for them! I hope you feel better ASAP. Also have you looked into an analgesic herb called Kratom? Some of my clients who usemedical marijuana find great relief from Kratom too.

House Republicans Dig Up Rotting Corpse Of TrumpCare, Throw It At Your Grandma

If Grandma voted for Trump, she'll just think it's a new kind of sashimi.

Yes, I've heard opiods are very effective in that area.

Not to mention, all those hospitals use a lot of that pesky science.
