Oh just let the fucking thing expire. On the individual level, the tax cut wasn't anything crazy special. Rewrite a different tax plan next year. Does anyone know what their taxes were like before this "drop" or what they will return to if it expires? My guess is 99% of Americans have no ...

Re: Kinect...
Where do you need to set the Kinect up in relation to your TV? I'm thinking about getting one, but the room I'd probably put it in, I have a flatscreen mounted up pretty high above my fireplace. Do you think it would work setting the kinect up on the mantle and standing 5-7 feet back from it?
