There you have it, folks! Time to leak another story about Ohio to the Press!

I'm sorry, didn't realize you lived in a drug den.

No reason to crowd the prisons, folks, when the IRS can give out extra bonus checks.

Good thing his friend is President of the US who has the power to pardon.

Any CPA can tell you that every business owner can be audited knowing how complicated tax law is.

That's not true, they had two very sophisticated stealth helicopters. Where were the helicopters in the Stone arrest?
