"Gibson Loses Bid to List Estate As Farm"
Gibson would have saved about $10,000 per year in property taxes on his $17.7 million estate if granted the exemption for owners of working farms. His annual property tax bill is about $137,000, the Greenwich Time reported Thursday.

1. Good - As If Mel Gibson Needs
the money, $10,000 is a drop in the bucket to Gibson. He's really gotten weird and apparantly greedy in his old age.

2. Why should we be surprised that Gibson is trying to hoodwink
the government the same way he hoodwinked the global christian community?

Seriously, Gibson fervently believes that almost every last single person who went to see The Passion will end up burning for eternity in Hellfire.

3. he needs a tip from George W. Bush!
The Connecticut Cowpoke's spread in Texas is more like a recreational estate than anything else, yet people keep calling it "the ranch".

4. Gibson wanted his estate listed as a farm?
Gibson is a nut-case. Just like all the religious people who talk to their invisible savior everyday.

Ban all religion and we will all better off. Trust me.
