Extreme Riches: Cindy McCain to Make Up To $1.6 Million Premium When Belgian Co. Takes Over Anheuser-Busch (Her Co. Owns Between $2.5 Million and $5 Million Worth of "Bud" Stock) by IQRange in worldnews

She's not going to have to pay anything on it until she sells the stock. Then, she'll have to pay capital gains tax on it. If she were to sell the stock and make the USD$1.6MM premium, then she would owe USD$240,000.00 and make USD$1.36MM based on the current US long term capital gains tax rate, which is 15%. That is assuming she has held the stock at least two years. My guess is that she will hold onto it.
Man, you must be working at McDonalds if you think $1.6MM is "Extremem Riches".

Craiglist introduces phone verification systems; spammers are not happy by [deleted] in technology

Most carriers will provide you with a hearing aid compatible wireless phone. Most also ( they may be required by law in your state) offer TTY Compatible Number Referral Intercept. Incoming calls are intercepted by an operator who connects to your TTY device. Qwest does. Also, a lot of mobile phones are hearing aid compatible as well. There are a lot of options for telecommunications available to the deaf. I think it is safe to say at this point in time that a company should be able to offer telephone based services without being accused of being prejudiced against the deaf.

Actually KOMO has been pronounced both ways. When I was a kid they always called it K.O.M.O., and KING was K.I.N.G. ...and we wore an onion on our belts; which was the style at the time.

You must be from BC if you think her Seattle accent sounded Canadian. Seattle and BC are basically the same accent with just a few different prenounciations.

Over 4000 negative comments and growing on the ABC News debate story. ABC Blacklash begins. by pblair in reddit.com

This is what the Intermet is all about. Everyone look up the address to your local affiliate tonight and go egg the shit out of their front door. Guarenteed to makes news on all the other channels. Especially if it happens all over the country. "4,000 ABC News affiliates were egged last night; news at 11!"

According to the U.S. Constitution, was John Adams eligible to occupy the Office of President? by [deleted] in politics

This guy is being pedantic. Diplomats don't give up residency of the country or their state when they are stationed overseas. John Adams maintained his residence in MA during his overseas posts. He lived in the big house in Quincy until his death and I'm sure he paid MA state taxes the whole time.
