- I am a freelance writer from New York City, who recently opened a new Income Tax Service because, let's face it, these days if you don't have a job you'd better create one for yourself... I also support myself through the sale of unique political-left t-shirts, buttons, and other generally useless but fun stuff on my websites, TheDesperateBlogger.com and 'The Desperate Blogger Superstore' (Http://ShopDesperateBlogger.com)
