Am I just lucky to have an accountant for a father or what?

Ditto.  My refund's already been dispersed and spent.
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

Whole lotta teabaggers running around the loop today. Pretty entertaining. They've got signs and everything. It's nice to be able to see what real Americans look like. I've been living in a fantasy land.

Old white guys?

Some people don't get refunds, so they wait until the last minute to file.

Unsurprisingly, the five people I saw were older gentlemen of the Caucasian persuasion.

I was thinking of underpaying and hoping for the best. My tax attorneys at Snipes, Nelson, and Foxx recommended it.

Me, I was just a combination of lazy and on vacation. That's how I found myself stuck in this spot...

http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local-beat/Illinois-Tax-Web-Site-Down-On-Tax-Day-90951509.html

QuoteIllinois residents who waited until the last minute to file their taxes are going to have a difficult time doing so on-line because the Illinois Department of Revenue's pin application site is currently down and will likely remain so throughout the day, officials say.

That means anyone who hasn't filed online before will need to call an 800 number in order to get their pin so they can file online.

But here's the rub: the provided 800 numbers give a perpetual busy signal because so many frantic tax filers are calling.

Fucking Illinois.

Enjoy that extra 6 bucks you just wrung out of me.

When did the IRS start paying interest on refunds before April 15th?

For Bort...

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/04/lunch_break_153.html

I'll let Wikipedia describe:

QuoteIn the film, Donald Duck is portrayed as an everyman who has just received his weekly pay. He is met by two physical manifestations of his personality — the classic "good angel on one shoulder, bad devil on the other shoulder" dilemma common to cartoons of the time — identified as the "thrifty saver" and the "spendthrift."

The "good duck" appears as a slightly elderly duck with a Scottish accent who wears a kilt and Scottish cap and urges Donald to be thrifty with his money so he can be sure to pay his taxes for the war effort. The "bad duck" appears as a zoot suit-wearing hipster who urges Donald to spend his duly earned money on idle pleasures such as "good dates". The good angel reminds of other "dates" - the dates when his taxes are due. (In the 1940s, income taxes were paid directly by workers every three months and not directly removed from employee paychecks as is done today.) The narrator explains that Americans should "gladly and proudly" pay their income taxes which are higher that year "thanks to Hitler and Hirohito."

A tug-of-war ensues between "spend" and "save" with Donald caught in the middle. Eventually the two sides give way and crash on opposite ends of Donald to reveal the "true" selves: the doors of the bad duck's club are revealed to be swastikas and the bad duck himself turns out to bear a resemblance to Hitler (his bow tie is now a swastika and he has grown Hitler's characteristic mustache) while the wall the good duck has crashed up against resembles the flag of the United States. The narrator then asks the audience if they are going to "spend for the Axis" or "save for taxes." Having made the seemingly obvious choice, Donald is assumed to shake hands with the bad duck, but it is revealed that he heads over to the bad duck to punch him out at the last second. He then goes to proudly pay his taxes with the good duck.

Looks like you even have a category set aside for this one.

The relevant moment comes a bit after the 2:00 mark.

I'd buy a zoot suit in an instant. Reminds me of the good old days when the fantastically queer "Briarhouse" used to be a men's vintage store just north of the Loop. I don't think I even want cufflinks that aren't enamel on copper any more.
