02:16 - Just Hoarding Another Lileks Bauble...

From today's Bleat on tax laws:
He believed the family making 100K a year had a moral obligation to give the money to those who did not, and wanted to use the power of the state to enforce his morals. (Or, as the parlance has it, “shove them down our throats,” although you never hear that phrase used when the shover robot belongs to the Right-Thinking Side.)
Ahh, the Shover Robot. Do You Have Stairs in Your House?
I know it's sort of anti-bloggish and probably a bit rude to read through the entirety of a well-crafted-as-ever Lileks column, ignore its deep and meaningful insights, and comment only on a little obscure net-culture gem that he tosses in to hold our interest. But somehow I don't feel bad about it; I don't have much to add about Minnesota tax law, but when the transient gleam of a reference like this catches my eye, I just have to stoop and pick it up. It's like how several weeks ago he noted that Star Trek: The Motion Picture really "bit the wax tadpole". You know-- stuff like that deserves commemoration somewhere, like in a virtual butterfly-collection box or something.
Hah! I just came up with a name for this blog: The Killjar.
(Nah, just kidding.)
