So, what do you say?
Mark says:
So let me get this straight (I live in Canada where we have an involuntary reflex gag tax system):
1) Your employer doesn't withhold any tax.
2) Sometime in April you owe the IRS a wheelbarrow full of money?
Yikes! How do you plan for that?
m.
Don replies: I know this is hard to believe Mark, by the Senator got that wrong too. Most employees in the US are required by law to have their voluntary taxes automatically withheld from their pay checks. I assume this doesn't happen to Senators. 
(For we self-employed, it's send the voluntary contribution every quarter. Otherwise a voluntary IRS Judge will offer us the choice of going to a Federal facility for an extended vacation or the chance to donate even more than the previously requested love-offering.)
Chris C says:
Seriously they called the interviewer antagonistic?
Before the media changed their focus to entertainment and ratings this guy would have seemed as hard-hitting at Katie Couric.
Don replies:
Come on Chris C! The guy's a bull-dog! Even his tie is loud!
Cathouse Teri says:
One should NEVER trust someone with those BEADY LITTLE EYES. Oh wait. I have little eyes, too. Hmmm...
Okay, no one should trust a MAN who has beady little eyes... no, that won't work either. I know lots of men with beady little eyes whom I adore.
Alright, no one should trust a POLITICIAN who has beady little eyes... dammit, something is still wrong here.
Oh I've got it! No one should trust a politician who's lips are moving!
Don replies:
The Eyes have it!
Good analysis Teri. But I think you need to take it a step further. After all, politicians do have to sleep as well. I think the correct modifier is "breathing".

RE: video and senator: Sick, sick, sick dude...It's like he's an android with only one chip, and it has short circuited and keeps repeating....and repeating....and repeating. Hello, anyone home? At one point his face looks totally bewildered like..."Does NOT compute." Oh Gawd!
Also, voted for you (our INTREPID HERO) on the caption contest. I laughed out loud over your caption. It just SO fit the droll expression on the guys face. Too perfect! Good for you Don.
Don says:
Let me make sure no one thinks I'm some kind of partisan hack.
I'm a non-partisan hack.
I fully believe that Every member of Congress is a member of the ME ME ME! Party. And it's time for the the Party to end. The noise is disturbing the neighborhood.
PS Thanks for the vote RFR! But the dark forces of Lord Likely and this gifted, but ultimately evil humor talent, appear to be weighing heavily against me.
Meg says:
Income tax aside, I like that tie--kinda of Peter Max-type thing!!
Don replies:
Well! Thank God SOMEONE got the point of the post! I left enough clues.
Well done Meg. I myself own many ties just like his. I use them for emergency field fence repair. For some reason, the cows will avoid even the weakest section of fence when a couple of those babies are holding it together.
Brent D says:
I haven't encountered this type of voluntary behavior since I left the military.
My Gunnery Sergent had some interesting phrasology too.
By the way, if you think sending metric boatloads of your traffic to my caption contest will atone for your recent blognapping of my site then you are seriously underestimating my ability to wear out a joke.
I'm watching you Don.
Don replies:
I had a Chief once who used much the same argument on the voluntary application of Nevr-Dull to the ship's brasswork. The immediacy of his argument was better, because he wore a side-arm when he made it.
And no worries mate! I never underestimate your near-homeopathic abilities at joke stretching.
Harry Reid is a brilliant, brilliant man and he really needs to run for president. I'd vote for him.
I have an uncanny ability to choose the best man for the job, after all, I voted for Bush and I just went over and voted for you!! 
I would find it hard to believe Brent was in the military and not killed in action (particularly in light of all the opportunity our boys would have had to accomplish the job).
Happy Mother's Day Mrs. Lewis!
