Well, it's that time of the year, when we catch up on answering IRS correspondence with our clients by listening to music on hold from IRS for half an hour or more each day.
It's not that I have anything against Tchaikovsky. He's especially appropriate, I suppose, on the day that Boris Yeltsin of (flat-tax) Russia died. But couldn't IRS come up with some new music, every three or four years? Maybe, written by someone whose personal life would not stir up controversy in circles outside the liberal Bush/Cheney Administration? I mean, after all, Swan Lake fits the image of IRS about as well as Aaron Copland fit the image of the American Beef Council.
On the other hand, you can't spell C-z-a-r-i-s-t or R-u-s-s-i-a without I-R-S . . .
