OK, enough of that. I’m home from work and I’m gonna mow the grass now that it’s finally stopped raining. Then I’m going to have some Sam Adams Cherry Wheat and watch a sporting event of some kind. Maybe poker.
In the meantime, here’s the always fantastic P.J. O’Rourke (I have all his books, even “Bad Haircut”) in a tax we can all support – “Soak the Celebrities”
America's media and entertainment industry has a gross (as it were) revenue of $316.8 billion a year. If we subtract the income derived from worthy journalism and the publishing of serious books, that leaves $316.8 billion. Surely this money can be put to a more socially useful purpose than reportage on the going forth and multiplying of Britney Spears.P.J. suggests a celebrity tax of 100% indexed up. Heh-heh.
