A tax on un-PC items?
NO - I am not in favor of it. But the last two nights I have had odd dreams in the political arena.

1: News was showing a can of chef boyardee noting that the face of the chef would be removed as sales were plummeting after a 33% vote of the people found it offensive, which kicked in an automatic 15% sales tax.

2: 1943 Copper Pennies. I found 2 in my change drawer, very odd ones as they had depictions of people and a farm being destroyed by a tornado. They fit together (as best round things can) to make part of a scene. I found out in my dream that the pennies were part of a rare collectible set that was minted, six in all.
It then switched to bush saying he wanted to mint a collectors set of pennies with the faces of soldiers killed in action.
(PS - I checked out the US mint while typing this and found out 1943 pennies could be worth a 'mint':

)

Last One:
3: bush on tv with Santa talking about a toy drive for Iraqi's, they dropped thousands of GI Joe dolls and accessories wrapped by volunteers all over the country via plane. The idea was to show the people of Iraq how harmless we were and that we just wanted to be their friends this Christmas season. He was thanking the many people who helped out and was sure the Iraqi people would welcome the gift of love we sent them.
Santa, btw, was wearing army camos.

I need to lay off the BBQ food before bed :)

1. It's that yankee barbque!
You need some Rudy's, get saused! They have wonderful commercials and it isn't bad if you are a carnivore.

3. 43 Copper? Wow, that is really something, or was that the dream bit?
I have all 3 steels, didn't know they made copper ones.

Think your dreams are quite an amusing mixture of reality and almost reality.
