Florida Lawmaker Seeks Toilet Paper Tax...

Somebody at the Associated Press had fun writing up this story:

"Florida's Legislature is flush with good ideas."

"The Democratic lawmaker's pay-as-you-go bill has been the source of many jokes." (what? not the "butt" of many jokes?)

"In a Republican-dominated Legislature that doesn't like new taxes, the idea is likely to pretty quickly end up in the tank."

"'We'll be getting to the bottom of it real soon,' [Senate President Tom] Lee said."

"'We're not wild about tax increases,' said House Speaker Allan Bense, R-Panama City. 'But we'll certainly let it go through the system.'"

"And what about consumers? Wouldn't they be squeezed by a tax on the Charmin?"

Who says the MSM has no sense of humor?
