The DC braintrust may be onto something this time when it comes to the home buyer tax credit. Faced with an outbreak of fraudulent claims from home buyers using their 4-year olds as means to an $8000 reduction in their tax bill, the time had clearly come to throw in some safeguards for the next phase of the program. So lawmakers got together and did some serious thinking about how to stay one step ahead of the diabolically clever mind of the average four year old.
An agreement reached yesterday by the Democrats would let homeowners who buy a new home qualify for a $6,500 credit if they have lived in their prior residence for five years, according to Regan Lachapelle, an aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

After a lull in trading yesterday, the DCI has once again come back strong, indicating greater demand for douchy clipart.

Greg's day:
1. Wake up at 10, vomit stains on bedsheets
2. Return futon to couch mode
3. Find paper bag, huff some Rust-O-Leum
4. Turn on LazyTown
5. Huff rest of Rust-O-Leum
6. Heart stops
7. Wake up a few seconds later with a gasp
8. Cry a little
9. Crawl over to computer, reword an AP International story, email to Bess
10. Fall asleep again

Greg, did you take that picture yourself and do you get paid royalties every time it is used somewhere?
I ask because there is literally no other possible excuse for re-using the same fucking picture every time you shit out a story about the housing market.

Greg -
As a child, Halloween was always a big day for you. You would put on a tutu and trick or treat for hours. When you were finished, I would carefully inspect the candy to make sure it was safe for you to eat. Now I wonder why I bothered. You douche.
Love,
Mom

Greg--
After you leave the office today, I'm going to slightly unplug the wire on your phone, so that when someone calls and you pick it up, you can hear them, but they can't hear you.
