Yep. Madame Leona really wound up in a class by herself.

Had to serve actual time - for tax evasion.

I forgot it wasn’t prison but home confinement.

Leona Roberts Helmsley (July 4, 1920 – August 20, 2007) was an American businesswoman. Her flamboyant personality and reputation for tyrannical behavior earned her the nickname Queen of Mean.[9] After allegations of non-payment were made by contractors hired to improve Helmsley's Connecticut home, she was investigated and convicted of federal income tax evasion and other crimes in 1989. Although having initially received a sentence of sixteen years, she was required to serve only nineteen months in prison and two months under house arrest. During the trial, a former housekeeper testified that she had heard Helmsley say: "We don't pay taxes; only the little people pay taxes", a quote which was identified with her for the rest of her life.

GOOD graphic!!!

Definitely a keeper!

OMG! Fierce Tractors!!!

I sure wouldn’t want to see one of those things coming at me!

Hello, Gorgeous!

Yep. We're losing Rachel Prusak for that reason, Dammit.

All three say it doesn’t pay enough, and they’re right. And besides, the state legislature up here seems to meet for a month, and then it’s over for the rest of the year, barring somebody calling for a special session (I think).

No kidding!

I’m gonna write an ask about that next weekend. It will surely get absolutely no publicity so I’m gonna do a thank-you ask for people who get our weekly Indivisible “Call to Action” email about what the President just made happen.

Just remember: there’s ALWAYS something you do. ALWAYS something you can do! Even if it seems almost pitifully small. It may not stay that way.

Besides, a whole lotta everything starts out pitifully small, from Giant Sequoias to human beings and all in between!

Yep. Abso-freakin'-lutely!

Here's something else I'm delighted to have found:

The only problem with that is someone like trump.

He’d just ignore the law.

Law? That doesn’t apply to ME! I don’t have to bother with that shit. Laws are for the little people. Remember Leona Helmsley? Her famous quote (that she wound up eating, in jail) was “only the little people pay taxes.”

The only way to fix that is if EVERYONE at the table was wearing one.

Adults included. Then you’re all laughing together at how funny we all look in our crazy hats! Or only Dad could carry it off - if HE had been the only one at table to wear a goofy mask. Don’t humiliate your kids. They both look miserable and embarrassed.

Hey Dad, good job.

Damage done.

They’re gonna remember this day for a lifetime.
