Today is the second Tuesday of the month and for the first time in a long time I don’t care. Why? Because I purchased a Macbook a couple of weeks ago.
What does one have to ... ( more)

We received word over the weekend that Charlton Heston died in his home after a long battle with a disease similar to Alzheimer’s. The first thing I thought of was his legacy and how it ... ( more)

It’s good news, bad news on the LA Times entertainment blog this morning. First, the NBC schedule for next season was released and Friday Night Lights is coming back for 13 episodes! Woohoo! Being a ... ( more)

Just an FYI that I won’t be doing any lame April Fools jokes. Most are really groan inducing and not at all believable.
The best one ever (at least for font geeks like me) was San ... ( more)

I was about to give the Clinton campaign credit for not piling on in the whole “Should Obama dump his pastor” kerfuffle. Then Hillary’s team lets her put an easily fact-checked lie into her stump ... ( more)

One of the wonderful things about dealing with state laws is finding the old laws still on the books that really no longer serve any purpose. For instance, Vermont has a tax clean-up bill (HB ... ( more)

Why? Because Cubs fans hopes for Kerry Wood are getting dashed again. Like Charlie Brown and that damned football, Cubs fans hoped this year would be different. This would be the year that Kerry Wood ... ( more)

Kevin,
I’ll put it in terms you’ll definitely understand. The Protestants have a bit of marketing problem. The Catholics offer copious amounts of booze and a good time. Protestants offer marching through Catholic neighborhoods and getting ... ( more)

I’ve avoided talking about the Spitzer fiasco in New York because in a lot of ways I think it’s silly. Yes, we all love watching holier-than-thou politicians being hoisted on their own petard, but really ... ( more)

If you had told me two weeks ago that the Democrats would take Denny Hastert’s seat, I would have openly mocked you. Having grown up in that district, I knew that the likelihood that any ... ( more)

It’s funny how quickly fingers begin pointing when a campaign is imploding. The LA Times has an article on the fussing and fighting in the Clinton camp over the weekend.
As the campaign faces a make-or-break ... ( more)

I have a confession to make. Even though I do taxes every day (and passed the CPA exam in October!) I’ve used Turbo Tax for the past three years to do my taxes. The reason? ... ( more)

The muckracking professor whose research lead to the whole stock option backdating scandal (albeit, a decade later) is back at it again. Apparently, he’s now looking to see whether insiders backdated stock donations to their ... ( more)

The State of New Jersey has a certain, shall we say, reputation with tax folks. Not only are they one of the most taxpayer-unfriendly states, but the bureaucracy to fix one of their many mistakes ... ( more)

I apologize for the lack of content. The flu has ravaged our family, I’ve been travelling for work, and our home computer has been non-functional. More to come, hopefully next week!

Being in Missouri, we get bombarded by robocalls (yeah, thanks for exempting yourselves when passing the Do Not Call list). I have to wonder, do they work? Are they like spam and work for X% ... ( more)

So, the primary is less than a week away and I still haven’t decided who to vote for. With Edwards and Giuliani dropping out, I have basically six choices now.
Clinton
Obama
Huckabee
Paul
McCain
Romney
Clinton- My feelings about the Clinton ... ( more)

It seems that the huge loss in South Carolina is affecting the Clinton campaign. First, they took great pains to point out that Jesse Jackson won the primary twice in an attempt to smear Obama to ... ( more)

In what must be the quickest agreement in the history of Congress, Democrats and Republicans agreed on a stimulus plan. It includes business and personal tax incentives.

Missouri Governor Matt Blunt has shocked just about everyone by announcing he’s done what he’s come to do and he won’t seek reelection.
The Governor has been dogged by an e-mail scandal that just won’t die. ... ( more)
