Taxing Spam

I am on the road for this April Fool's day, so here's something that isn't a joke, but equally worthless:
There is a proposed tax on Spam - but not the email kind - the canned meat kind.

Best quote from the article:

"I'm torn between my love for Vienna sausages and my love for state services," confessed Olympia lobbyist Lauren Moughon, who called the canned meat product a "guilty, guilty pleasure."

That is the sort of forbidden love about which movies were meant to be created - are you listening Hollywood?
