Since Obama chose to, in Sarah Palin's words, treat 9/11 as a crime spree, instead of a war, I don't fault the judge.  I fault our own Liberal terrorists.   Besides,  Judge Hogan is no wine-sipping, Brie-eating, ACLU-loving Liberal in a black sack.  He was appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1983, and his most recent notable court action was rule that the FBI raid, on now imprisoned Rep. William Jefferson's (D LA) Capitol Hill office, was legal.  Hogan himself had signed the warrant.  Your serve.

Three laughs and a funeral

“ Cardiologist Funeral

A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart covered in flowers loomed behind the casket during the service. Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside; the heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.

 At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When all eyes stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral.........I'm a gynecologist."

The proctologist fainted.

 First, every year somebody writes the story about calling the IRS five times for clarification on something in the tax code, and receiving five disparate answers.

Second, I have a friend who, every year for the past fifteen,  used a computer tax program like Tax Cut (H&R Block).  In what seemed like a never ending assault, beginning in 2004, his returns were "audited" by the IRS, and he was socked in the neighborhood of $60,000 for unreported income, penalties and interest.  If you know his situation, you'd know how ridiculous that is.  He went to a professional tax payer after his wife heard about one at work.   Larry (the CPA's name) told him that the IRS loves the computer program  returns, because like a captured MiG  they've flown it, and know how to outmaneuver and kill it.  He paid him $550 for each disputed year's return.  In return, everything was dismissed.  Plus!  He received about $2500 in  overpayment!

 Here's why I'm telling you this.

The IRS wants to save you from your rogue tax accountant.


The nation's green eyeshades are now destined to come under the regulatory rule of the Internal Revenue Service as part of the Obama Administration's latest revenue grab.

Under the plan, which would begin with the 2011 tax season, anyone who takes money to help people with their taxes will have to register with the IRS, and eventually pass competency tests and sign up for continuing education. So having made tax filing so complicated that most Americans need help with their forms, Washington now wants to raise the price of such counsel by regulating advisers in a way that may reduce their supply.

Defending the decision, IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman declared that regulating tax preparers was reasonable because "In most states you need a license to cut someone's hair." Yes, the cosmetology guild does like to raise the barriers to entry for competitors.

Cheering the new regulations are big tax preparers like H&R Block, who are only too happy to see the feds swoop in to put their mom-and-pop seasonal competitors out of business.  [H&R Blockheads cont]

“ DOROTHY RABINOWITZ

Consider the justly famed speech an enraged American president delivered the day after Pearl Harbor. Then try imagining that address by Franklin Roosevelt—a leader to whom Mr. Obama has been compared—as it would sound in Obama language.

"Yesterday, December 7, 1941, a date that will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces allegedly from the Empire of Japan . . . Yesterday the Japanese government allegedly launched an attack on Malaya. Last night Japanese forces allegedly attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces allegedly attacked Guam . . ."

Still it wasn't the president's comments but those of Janet Napolitano that reverberated. ... 

Asked in an interview with the German magazine "Der Spiegel" last March why she had avoided using the word "terrorism" in her testimony to Congress, she explained that she had instead preferred to use another term: "man-caused disasters." That choice of words demonstrated, she said, that "we want to move away from the politics of fear."

I received a WNO SOUNDBITE ADVISORY re Jill Biden waxing eloquently about FAFSA.  I have no idea what the acronym stands for, but while finding out I ran into this site, and the above shown, crudely executed bit of  Big Education agitprop.   Yesterday I noted this lame attempt by Media Matters. It says a lot about who they see as their base audience, and what it takes to influence them.

Anyway, back to Jill Biden (I still don't know what FAFSA accomplishes, aside from spending OPM).  This is precious.
