Statutorily speaking, Liberty is one of my favorites, but I can’t help wondering why the IRS chose it for their cover. Are they saying, ‘Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, so we can tax them’? After all, undocumented workers are a bonus for the government– they don’t file for refunds.

SHELL SHOCKED
Speaking of workers, congratulations to the chickens for their new union contract. I don’t know the details, but it must be a good one since the price of eggs has DOUBLED. I don’t buy eggs that often, but last time I did they were about $1 a dozen. Now it’s $2.
I hope those union hens are getting time and a half for ova-time. They deserve it.

THE BRA RISK
Wearing bras greatly increases the risk of breast cancer in women. An
extensive survey has shown that the number of hours per day the bra is
worn is the biggest factor in the degree of risk.
Women who rarely or never wore bras had a 1 in 168 chance of developing
breast cancer.
Those who wore them more often, but less than 12 hours per day: 1 in 152.
More than 12 hours per day, but less than 24: 1 in 7.
Twenty-four hours a day: 3 in 4.
This is a serious health factor that every woman should know about. It
is not just a few percentage points like many risks. The survey did not
absolutely establish the reason, but it is probable that it is
restriction of lymph flow. The lymphatic system washes away the natural
toxins and waste products of cells. Body movement is important in the
flow. The combination of tightness and lack of movement of the breasts
can slow or even stop the flow and allow toxins to build up in the area.
As the public waits for further studies and the official announcement,
the safest course seems clear.
