Guarantee michchamp watches all of it.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Oh, Abigail Spencer too.

She's hot.

I don't know about MichChamp but my wife is going to watch the whole thing.

The other day she said to me "Just to let you know I'm getting up at 5 AM Saturday to watch the Royal Wedding..."

And I'm thinking "as long as American women will continue to do insane shit to follow the Royals, you can count on Geico to save you up to 15% or more on car insurance..."

you do realize that it's pretty much only guys that post here, right? did you write this poll in an attempt to convince yourself that you are not a complete sissy, despite all the evidence to the contrary?

 

[Gulo Blue]

I can't vote. Weird. Maybe because I deleted my account.


I think option two should have been "No. No man. Shit! No man. I do believe you'd get your ass kicked for watching that."


That being said, it bothers me zero that other people get excited about it.

This is how I am.

There are people who disdain college athletics.

Hey, just don't watch.

Now, this wedding, the bride is hot and she has hot friends.

Oh and she's black, so their kids will be a little black Royals.

That'll be something new.

and possibly half jewish. Their kids are gonna be natural born entertainers. Could you imagine if one of their kids is born blind in one eye? How could they not name him (or her) Sammy?

Sammy wasn't born blind in one eye. He wasn't born Jewish either. I certainly hope all their little black Jewish Royal kids are all born fine and healthy.

Going back to the brides hot friends, here, from the Sun - I think that's the publication that got Rupert Murdoch's enterprises rolling - are some of the Royal watcher/Hollywood glam press guesses as to the smokin' hot babe friends who might have attended Meghan's bachelorette soir?e - I guess the Brits call it a "hen do."

Never cared for the antiquated notion of "royalty" where just being born into such an arrangement ensures a highly privileged and entitled lifestyle. Perhaps "once upon a time" it might have resulted in overthrows, coups, beheadings, and assassinations, but now its just mostly ceremonial and a means of enticing tourist money. As well as playing into commoner young ladies' fantasy dreams of marrying a "Prince Charming".

Feel the same way about winning the birth lotto, and being born into vast sums of wealth, someday to be inherited, and not being earned. I am very much in favor of gradually higher inheritance taxes, after a certain level is reached...for example...that above $10 million.

Oh.

Well good for you then.

Because that's pretty much what it is already.

They're mascots now.

40%. Higher than I expected. ...well, there are probably significant exemptions.

of course he wasn't, and I assume everyone hopes their kids are born healthy. But, they're not likely to change the kids name to Sammy if he or she later becomes blind in one eye.

 

[tinselwolverine]

The first about $11 million of an estate are pretty much fully exempt. That's up from about $5.5 million under the new tax code.

Anything above that is taxable up to 40%.

When the exemption was at $5.5 million, 699 out of 700 estates qualified for the exemption.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Probably not.

However, they might want to think about just naming a male kid Saul or Morty, in case he decides to convert to Judaism later.

That's important. So even if there weren't other ways to avoid some of this tax, a $22 M estate would see half of it taxed at 40% for an effective rate of 20%.

One could look at it that way.

There are not a lot of $22 million estates out there.

I for one am DVR'ing HBO's coverage. Cord and Tish are not to be missed.
