    The british invented baseball know as rounders.
    Jane Austen wrote about baseball 40 years before its official invention, but evidence of the game's British origins was erased from history by the American sports magnate Albert Spalding.

    Likewise in Rockford, IL, which is why I make major purchases in Beloit, WI , 5% sales tax, plus Beloit is closer to my home - Rockford is where I work.

    High sales tax = lame, which is why I shop mostly at Walmart where I work. I get a 10% employee discount on just about everything except food.

    We actually have no state sales tax in the AK, plus the state pays us a dividend every year based off of our excess oil revenue investments.

    My country is going to be governed by a half-bulgarian whore, "former" communist terrorist, convicted for bank robbery, attempts of murder and several minor robberies.

    Let these words be as sand in the cogwheels of reason,
    as a malign disturbance in the sustainment of universe,
    and let each quark of this degenerated microcosm
    stand as a citadel of cold and deliberate hatred.
    Let there come a glorious error in the patterns of the world.
    Let the tainted foundations of reality crumble
    and let us hope nothing comes afterwards,
    so the gravest of mistakes we all blindly wander in
    will finally come to an end.
