I think I might go for the super sales tax if it included such purchases as stocks and bonds.

All of this is slightly premature. The FBI has been called in to investigate, so let’s wait for any results. The only one who has any idea of what happened is David Korn, and he ain’t talking.

Hannity is a “cafeteria catholic”. If he really followed his faith, he would: oppose the death penalty, have opposed the Iraq war, show compassion for undocumented workers, and treat greed as a sin.
