My First Conservative Thought

My First Conservative Thought

First of all allow me to briefly apologize that I am in fact drunk right now. I have had some good Cuban Rum (which is contraband by the way) and a delicious Pinot Grigio from the award winning Dellatorri winery. I am a little drunk.

Allow the record to show that it is 2:15 pm on Friday February 29, 2008.

Why am I drunk?

Well I got out of the lab by having my front caps fall off and having to go to the Dentist, but it is a good thing since I have probably slept a total of 6 hours in the last three days.

Those who know me personally and just read that can pick their jaws of the floor now because I usually go to bed at 10 and I get up at 6 in the morning. I am a healthy sleeper.

But my pod cast has been such a delightful labor of love, that I have been perpetually working on either recording, editing or promoting it in the last several days with few exceptions.

My pod cast is so much fun for me.

I decided that I need to start a business, and here is the impending conservative thought drawing ever nearer…

What do I do to start a business?

Well I want to obey the law, because I obey every law I know of except one, and I tried to find out.

You see I am trying to sell adds for my pod cast, so that I can raise revenue for desperately needed equipment and I’d rather expose the listener to a 30 second, comedy based, commercial than to ask my listeners for a donation.

You see, I am trying to be at the listeners service. I really am.

I love my listeners, especially the regulars. They are taking 30 minutes out of their busy schedules in order to hear my thoughts on science and skepticism.

They don’t owe me anything, and I owe them everything!

So I refuse to run my operation like a charity.

It is 100% for-profit!

I am also wanting to publish my comics, and I aint doin that shit for free either!

I need money, and people want to give me money. I’ve sold at least two adds, and Apple gave me $100 bucks in trade, just so I’d quit trying to sell them an add!

Hell yeah!

I love apple, I literally think that they are one of the best Companies in the world, and their costumer service is exceptional. I’m speaking here as a former costumer service rep (I used to get mad at costumers and cuss them out)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I start calling tax offices to try to find out the laws for a new business, so that I don’t break any laws.

Then… my fist conservative thought hits:

What if they want to charge me more than I can afford?

By “they” I mean the IRS.

Well, then I can just tell them that I am still working on base revenue and providing the bare minimum to have a credible company.

And I think my second conservative thought:

What if they don’t care.

O crap, John McCain watch out for me!

Anyways I’m drunk.
