Word on the street is that taxpayer advocate David Strom is planning to embrace a new faith. After reading Osama Bin Laden's latest ramblings, I think we have a pretty good idea which way he's headed:
He also speaks to recent issues grabbing headlines in the United States, referring to "the reeling of many of you under the burden of interest-related debts, insane taxes and real estate mortgages; global warming and its woes..."
"To conclude," bin Laden says, "I invite you to embrace Islam." He goes on to say: "There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling 2.5 percent."
David won't be a big fan of the veils, headscarves, and burqas, but the bottom line is that two-point-five is pretty tough to beat. Besides, he's already got a better beard going than Osama. And it's real.
UPDATE: If you read the entire Bin Laden transcript (not an easy task for the eyes or the mind), you discover that not only is he a Kennedy assassination conspiracy believer, his economic views are downright Marxist. No wonder he expresses such admiration for Noam Chomsky.
