How to Get Taxed 87% in America
Under the conditions described so far, if the company you invest in earns $100 on your behalf and wishes to send it to you as a dividend, you'll end up with $28.44. How's that? Corporate taxes at the maximum federal and average state rate will take $39.10. From the $60.90 that's left, federal dividend taxes will take $24.12; state and city taxes, $6.03; and Medicare taxes, $2.31. That leaves $28.44.

URL shortening gets wild
Does the world really need another URL shortener? Apparently, the U.S. government thinks so. It just launched http://go.usa.gov

Oh no, don't tell me there was somebody who said: "Well, you know, we think that we need to do something in this space, and it looks like the URL shortening is the best thing to apply those several millions from the budget"... And three or four years later, here we go, the Go.USA.gov!
And the usage statistics is so cool too:
Go.USA.gov has shortened 247 URLs that have been clicked 14010 times.
It looks like you missed a couple of zero's and K's, didn't you? Because the site takes more then 17 seconds to open on my sorta fast Internet.
The best of luck though. The US gov't is really going for IT nowadays, and this at least is cool.
