I was rather enjoying my system cheat, but I'm not going to argue that it's fair (which is of course why I'm a dirty liberal).

...oh wait, that's just Arizona.  Well suck it then.

I believe that technically, when making out-of-state purchases for which sales tax is not charged, you're supposed to report and pay a Use tax equivalent to the sales tax had the purchase been made in-state.

Not that anybody ever does this, of course.  Enjoy your tax fraud!

Yeah, charging sales tax for online purchases is nothing new. It's usually only applied to sales where the retailer and the buyer are in the same state (that's why you see labels like "Massachusetts residents add 6% Sales Tax" or whatever on some sites.

Hey Arizona Legislature.  Any stupid ideas we should know about?

Well, they want to pass a law that would force teachers to be fired for using profanity.  As defined by FCC broadcast rules.  As you might expect, I am pissed at that fucking shit and the motherfucking cocksucking tit twat cunts pushing it.

Oh, and they want to amend the state constitution to add partisan primaries to recall elections.  So clearly a good chunk of the legislature still thinks the Pearce recall was cheating because it was too democratic.

In less funny and more immediately terrible news, yeah those private prisons are a really bad idea.  And I say that knowing what our government-run prisons are like.

If there were such a law here in Michigan while I was in school, I don't think I would've had anyone to teach me.  Of course, this is coming from a high school where upon turning in a bag of weed and a pipe I found sitting in the teacher's room during lunch, the teacher promptly sniffed it and proclaimed, "and it's not even good stuff!" and finally when prompted further by shocked baffled amusement continued, "This is some of the lowest quality pot I've ever seen.  This guy was an idiot in all sorts of ways."  The purchase of the silence of the five or so students (including myself) whom heard it was unspoken, immediate, and more than fully payed for by the laughter we all shared.

The people in Talking Time bring up a good point: how the hell does a gay mexican get involved with a Republican sheriff in Arizona of all places?

Oh the Sheriff was going to run for Congress too!

Hasn't withdrawn yet.

The campaign has taken in around $3,000 from 46 donors since the scandal broke, said Chris DeRose, Babeu's campaign manager and the lawyer representing him in the dispute with the ex-boyfriend. But one donor sought a refund of his $2,500 contribution, DeRose said.

I still think it's fair to say he's got his work cut out for him.

I've mentioned Babeu before.  He did his best to be Pinal County's version of Sheriff Arpaio.  He was also in charge of the investigation into the allegations in the Munnell Memo, which of course resulted in a bunch of the highest-level deputies being forced to resign while Babeu assured everyone that Arpaio had no idea what was going on in his department.

I acknowledge some schadenfreude at seeing another hypocritical bigot crash and burn.

The people in Talking Time bring up a good point: how the hell does a gay mexican get involved with a Republican sheriff in Arizona of all places?

Opposites attract, I guess.

I took a rather interesting sociology of sex course in college; one of the videos we watched was about a fetish club.  There was more than one example of a submissive wanting to be dominated in a racially-charged roleplay -- a black man wanting to play the role of a slave and be dominated by a white "owner", a Jew wanting to be dominated by a woman dressed like a Nazi prison guard, and so on.

Not saying that's what happened here, but it's a fascinating bit of human psychology.  (And I also admit a certain amusement at trying to guess who was the top.)


MEANWHILE:

Well, they want to pass a law that would force teachers to be fired for using profanity.  As defined by FCC broadcast rules.

I was talking to a teacher about this the other day.  She said, "Wait...so I'll be able to say anything they can say on TV?  That's 'bitch', 'ass', 'damn', 'hell'..."

Documents: Babeu ran private boarding school with history of physical abuse

I think it's safe to say he will not be serving in the 113th Congress.

Welp, in another piece of "What took so long?" news, ACLU sues the AZ prison system.

Oooh!  I get to beat Thad in posting something to this thread!

http://www.statepress.com/2012/03/12/senate-judiciary-committee-endorses-controversial-contraceptive-bill/

Arizona House Bill 2625, sponsored by Debbie Lesko, would allow companies to monitor what employees are getting birth control for.

Yeah that seems totally not illegal under federal law.

If it passes expect a bizarre increase in the various conditions BC Hormones treat

Not mentioned in the article: since Arizona is a right-to-work state, under that law, employers could also fire employees for using birth control.

I love how they tricked everyone into using the term "right-to-work state" instead of "right-to-get-fired state".

I remember commenting at some point during my unemployment last year that it was great to have the RIGHT to work but I'd really appreciate having the OPPORTUNITY.

...coulda sworn we had a thread called "It Is Now Illegal to Annoy People on the Internet", but I can't find it.  Maybe it was way back in the Pyoko era.

Anyway, yeah, Arizona legislature passes bill making it illegal to be annoying on the Interent.

I wouldn't bet on Brewer being smart enough to veto; indeed I wouldn't bet on Brewer being smart enough to [fill in the blank].  So, well, it was nice knowing you guys.
