Stripe fra den belgiske avistegneserien «Le Chat» av Philippe Geluck. Le Chat holder opp to bilder, det til høyre for ham av en falk, det til venstre for ham av en soldat ved siden av en kanon. Snakkebobler sier: «À ma droite… un faucon avec un Nikon. À ma gauche un vrai con avec un canon.»

Tom the Dancing Bug comic by Ruben Bolling from 2003-03-27, pointedly illustrating the principle of double taxation as a conservative talking point. THE BUSH TAX PLAN PROPOSES TO ELIMINATE THE INSIDIOUS DOUBLE TAX! THIS DOUBLE TAX OCCURS WHEN INCOME THAT'S ALREADY BEEN TAXED GETS TAXED AGAIN WHEN IT'S TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER PERSON OR ENTITY. Look at the following chain of transactions, and.. CAN YOU SPOT THE DOUBLE TAXATION? (A) EMPLOYEE receives paycheck and is taxed on the income. (B) EMPLOYEE uses some of that income to pay his PLUMBER, who is taxed on that income. (C) PLUMBER uses some of that income to buy DVDs from SHOP OWNER, who is taxed on that income. (D) SHOP OWNER uses some of that income to make a car payment to his BANK, which is taxed on that income. (E) BANK uses some of that income to pay a dividend to STOCKHOLDER, who is taxed on that income. (F) STOCKHOLDER uses some of that income to tip CADDY, who is taxed on that income. THAT'S RIGHT, THE ANSWER IS (E) - the transaction that involves the laxation of WEALTHY PEOPLE! THE PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS IS THE UNIQUE PHENOMENON IN WHICH THE I.R.S. TAXES INCOME THAT'S BEEN PREVIOUSLY TAXED BY ANOTHER, SEPARATE PERSON OR ENTITY!

When the head of Europe's human rights body agrees to courier messages from a convicted sex offender to Putin's foreign minister—then spends years fighting to restore Russia's standing after Crimea—the question isn't whether kompromat exists. It's how much is already shaping decisions.

The Orange by Wendy Cope At lunchtime I bought a huge orange— The size of it made us all laugh. I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave— They got quarters and I got a half. And that orange, it made me so happy, As ordinary things often do Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park. This is peace and contentment. It’s new. The rest of the day was quite easy. I did all the jobs on my list And enjoyed them and had some time over. I love you. I’m glad I exist.
