Maher
"Alan Greenspan, our Fed chairman, said that Bush's budget is such a

their tax returns. Cheney made more money than the president. When

decisions.'" —Conan O'Brien
"The IRS said today anyone with a refund coming from their 2001 taxes
will lose it if they don't pick it up by April 15th. If it is more then
three years they will just keep it. How come it doesn't work that way
with back taxes?" —Jay Leno

obesity is a disease. Under Clinton it was just sexy." —Jay Leno

year Arthur Anderson did my taxes, I'm getting $6 billion back." —Conan

to be April 15th, it is going to be tax time. You know what I am

For example the hookers in Times Square, for an extra $50 they will
handle your extension." —David Letterman
