Tax Day

First of all, I hope that you have filed your 2008 taxes. If not, I hope you got an extension. If not, good luck.

Second, if you still had any doubt in your mind that Fox News is nothing more than a conservative propaganda machine, tune in today to see the all-day coverage of the "Anti-Tax Tea Party," which are supposedly a series of anti-tax protests going on throughout the country. If you click the link above, you will see that not only is Fox News trying to elevate this into the most important event of the year, but they are actively trying to get people to attend in order to sway opinions. Not exactly "We Report, You Decide."

I've found that there is a protest scheduled for 7pm tonight at Dutchess Stadium in Fishkill, and I am going to try to make it out. The protest was originally slated for Doug Phillips Park in Fishkill, but was moved to the stadium "due to the overwhelming response from people wanting to attend." Good thing, too, because if Fox News is right I won't be able to find a seat!
