Comments on: Why I’m Not Good At This Political Stuff http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/4565.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

Has the FDA looked into this aspect of the safety issues? There was also a tax court case where a stripper deducted the cost of her implants as a business expense. The IRS maintained that they were a personal expense, not a business expense, and not deductible. The decision went down the middle: they were not a personal expense, since they were in fact an advantage in her work but a hindrance to her usual activities outside of work. However, since they were a modification or improvement of an existing structure, rather than a repair, and expected to either extend its useful life or enhance the income-producing capacity of an existing asset, they were a capital asset and the cost could be recovered through depreciation. Whoever said being a CPA was boring? <a href="http://colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?p=389014" rel="nofollow">Link</a> I seem to recall that back in pre-internet days (meaning I can’t back up my story), an exotic dancer rolled over in bed and smothered her husband with her after-market modifications.

I guess you find breasts and Virginia a little too close a connection, and I understand that. It is not as if the forbidden thoughts such a connection raises haven't occurred for many of us over the years (don't tell her I said that by the way;^) I am sorry to have caused you so much stress Jay.
