Tanning Tax goes into Effect! World Ends.

OMFG, there's a new tax of 10% on Indoor Tanning sessions!  (oh, the humanity!!)

I wonder if the tax even begins to cover those uninsured tanners who are treated for Melanoma....I can't believe the rightwingnutz are upset over this tax.  Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and current research shows indoor tanners are 74 percent more likely to get it than non-tanners.

And yet Billions-Per-Month-for-War is just fine n dandy.  Oy.

shooting a film with Danny Glover. My band played at Don Hill's across the street, and

I extended an invite to Walker to stop by....(he didn't).
