The Babylon Bee - worth a look.

Not sure if many of you know of this site, but it brings me a chuckle a day on the political front.  I expect most here will agree.

Thought everyone could use a laugh in these crazy times.  One of my favorites from the last couple of days as an example.

 Live free or die is a NH joke. Back in the 90's I owned 92 acres in Thornton NH that bordered the White Mountain NF. I cleared 1.5 acres a half mile up near the top of that lot for an off the grid cabin and was told that 1.5 acres "residential" cleared  part was worth $4,200 and would be taxed at 700 per year just as a cleared 1.5 acres. The 1800 sq ft cabin would have run about $6800 annually on that 1.5 acre spot. And that's with the nearest power pole 1.5 miles away! My neighbors up there all had it just as bad in property tax since all school funding comes out of property tax.  I broke even when I sold that alligator. The 92 acres were cheap at 76 bucks a year as long as you kept it in undisturbed forest land.  The locals derided the "massaholes" for moving up from Boston and Liberalizing their state. Same thing NYC did to upstate NY. Now you know the rest of the Live Free or Die story.
