The title "Some New Taxes" provides an antithesis to old George H. W. Bush’s statement, “Read my lips! No new taxes!”
The funny thing is that the consonant T is just the unvoiced version of the consonant D, with no lip involvement, and the unvoiced plosive K (in X) doesn’t involve the lips, either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_%28phonetics%29
So look in the mirror and read your lips as you say “No new taxes!” and “No nude asses!” What would Freud say?

It was a warning for after his son took office "Know new taxes." The man was prescient. He knew we would have a VAT. Too bad we did not see the transcript but only heard what he said.
