Gamblers Anonymous and Chupacabras

From the "Now, I've Heard It All Department": H&R Block will let you take a chance on doubling your refund if you allow them to file your taxes. Not enough that we have nation-wide legalized gambling taking big chunks from lower and middle-classed America, now you can gamble with your Uncle Sam leftovers. Maybe it's a government plot to get taxpayers to overpay their year-long tax debt so they have big amounts to roll with when they do the 1040 Shuffle.


From the "Now, I've Seen It All Department":Chupacabras are roaming the piney woods of east Texas? More likely a malnourished red fox with demodectic mange.

Is there a connection here? Are Americans this gullible and so easily manipulated?

Yes.

Weird. But my biggest question reading through the whole story, is why would anyone shoot the animal? I didn't read anything about it attacking anyone.

Mick, I hear ya!

Ronni, the animal was supposedly underneath their house and they were afraid it had rabies, I think.

Lisa, if you wanna help pay taxes here in the ole US of A, we welcome all dollars *grin*!
