  • The focus is red wine and to get right to it without distraction, click The Wine Commonsewer Speaks. The rest of the enchilada is just enough of an eclectic mix of commentary on culture, food, tax, and econ 101 to distract from the focus on red wine.

    We appreciate your patronage.

Tax Problems? It's A No-Brainer

Good Morning Gentle Readers,

This from Spiegel Online, pretty much says it all.

Something that many people secretly believed has been confirmed: You don't actually need a brain to work in a tax office.

Shaddup, they're talking about a government tax office.

A French civil servant has been found to have a huge cavity filled with fluid in his head -- yet lives a completely normal life.

The commonly spouted wisdom that people only use 10 percent of their brain power may have been dismissed as a myth, but one French man seems to be managing fine with just a small fraction of his actual brain.

Good thing Spiegel says it all, too, because I ain't got no energy for writing or much else.

I've got several Pinot's to talk about, one good, one not so much, and a table wine called Tax Man Red. I'll get to it, but like my Aunt Jeanne used to say, my get up and go has got up and went.

Whole thing here.

As Ever,

The Wine Commonsewer

He's not working with a "smal fraction of his actual brain". He only has a small fraction of a normal brain. They didn't quite say that right.

TWC, I didn't mean to steal the joke from you over at Hit&Run. On the other hand, I do think that one should steal only from the best.

And as Carly Simon sang, "Baby, You're the best."

Ahh, NoStar, I didn't really think you stole the Thread Winner. Didn't I qualify what I said with something like well NoStar prolly didn't steal the line but he did read my post. If not, I publically apologize for yanking your chain. Now, here's a nice glass of red wine for your troubles.

Danny! Bring NoStar a bottle of good red and a couple of glasses. Thanks Old Man.

thanks for the kind words, Mr Star

Carly's Baby, You're The Best beats the heck out of McCartney's Live & Let Die
