Government to seize creationist amusement park...
Pensacola, Florida -- A federal judge has cleared the way for the government's seizure of a creationism theme park in Pensacola owned by a couple convicted of tax fraud.

A ruling by U.S. District Judge Casey Rodgers states that the nine properties that make up Dinosaur Adventure Land as well as two bank accounts associated with the park will be used to satisfy $430,400 owed to the federal government.

Kent Hovind, who founded the park and a ministry, Creation Science Evangelism, is serving 10 years in federal prison for failing to pay the Internal Revenue Service more than $470,000 in employee taxes.

He was found guilty in November 2006 on 58 counts, including failure to pay employee taxes and making threats against investigators.

5. The anointed say they are absolved of all sins they might commit
in the future. Fortunately for us, the IRS and the justice system aren't as tolerant of robbery and thuggery.

4. Good job, IRS! Now go after the 52,000 accounts of American tax cheats in UBS Bank...
And after that, go after the rest of the secret offshore havens for American tax cheats. There might be just enough revenue there to get us back to a 40-hour workweek with one breadwinner and a barbecue every weekend during good weather...
