Milton: No Such Thing As Taxes

Fox’s Good Day Philadelphia showed Steve Keeley’s interview with everyone’s favorite member of the Street family, Milton, this morning at some ungodly hour. Milt talked more about his protest of the income tax, a view the Inquirer found somebody to compare to the Holocaust:

Daniel B. Evans, a trust and estate lawyer in Philadelphia, has called these protesters “tax deniers.” “Just like Holocaust deniers attempt to rationalize and justify their refusal to accept an indisputable historical fact… tax deniers attempt to rationalize and justify their refusal to accept indisputable historical facts,” Evans writes on a Web page he has maintained on the subject since the 1990s.

Evans’ Tax Protester FAQ even has its own webspace! Since it’s been around since the 1990s, I figured it’d be something like geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/4885/.

Closing arguments in the Milton Street trial are today. Only a short time before Uncle Milty walks out of court a free man and celebrates by opening up a hot dog cart.

Great Moments In Workplace Relations

I’ve long been of the opinion the world needs more bloggers who hate blogs and blogging in general. I hope I’m fulfilling my duty every day to do that, but it looks like I have an ally now.

While I was searching for a photo for this post, I came across the blog of one Jennaphr Frederick, ex-Good Day Philadelphia co-host and “What’s Buggin’ You” reporter.

And, ladies and gentlemen, Jennaphr Frederick’s first blog post, titled “I love to blog”:

Ladies and gentleman… I am finally blogging because my boss wants me to.

Does anyone care what I have to say about American Idol? ( certainly not steve keeley hee hee)

Does anyone care about I have to say about What’s Buggin You…. c’mon do you?

Write me - read me - call Steve Keeley at 215 982 5500 and tell him you love him… (please someone call him.. tell him Jenn sent you.)

I, for one, appreciate a news anchor who uses her blog to annoy her coworker (and admits she’s doing it because her boss told her to). Now write me- read me - call Steven Wells at whatever the hell PW’s number is and tell him you love him.

Next On Fox: Steve Keeley Damages Thousands Of Dollars Worth Of Camera Equipment

As already noted by everybody ever, whenever it snows outside, our local newspersons decide to go on a rampage, ignoring all rational thought in favor of reporting just now look snow ice sleet freezing rain Wintry Mix™ ohmigod how are we ever going to get to work tomorrow close down the entire city immediately and so forth.

This snow — or, really, any weather — rampage leads to some amusing moments on the local news. And today on Fox 5 in New York, the Good Day New York anchors threw it down to Steve Keeley on Good Day Philadelphia. (If you don’t know who Keeley is, he’s the anchor whose photo makes it look like he’s going to eat your soul.)

I’ll let NYC blog Gothamist explain what happened:

This morning’s Good Day New York on Fox 5 yielded another comedy incident during a live shot from reporter from sister station WTXF Steve Keely. Keely, reporting from somewhere in Philadelphia, turned on a snow blower which hit the cameraman and camera square in the lens. We can only assume that given the cost of camera equipment and the obvious safety issues that this was unintentional. Then again, we don’t know if this is part of his normal shtick down there.

Nope, the only schtick we have down here is dancing mascots.
