From Sundy:
Wow. That's about all I can say.
When this bill got moved from the House to the Senate, they added some things. Some things look promising...and some are...Just. Plain. Weird.
If you read all the way down the list, there are some very strange items added in towards the middle and the bottom sections. Really. I guess so maybe nobody would actually pay attention to them.
Like "Exempt from excise tax certain wooden arrow shafts for use by children."
Like "Extend cost recovery period for motor racing tracks."
Like "Clarify income averaging for settlement amounts received in connection with Exxon Valdez litigation."
Does this stuff really belong in this bill? Seriously?
I keep thinking perhaps some Senator's spouses or children or cousin's ex-roommates asked for a few little extras slipped into this bill to help them out personally.
*sigh*
