		<description><![CDATA[In a major twist of fate, a federal judge today set aside the conviction of Alaska Republican Senator Ted Stevens and then appointed an independent investigator to look at possible misconduct on the part of prosecutors. &#8220;In nearly 25 years on the bench, I&#8217;ve never seen anything approaching the mishandling and misconduct that I&#8217;ve seen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that AIG isn&#8217;t the only financial giant that is paying large executive bonuses after being bailed out by the U.S. Taxpayer.  Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the giant mortgage agencies, are reportedly set to pay over $210 million in bonuses over the next 18 months. However, absent this time are the steady [...]]]></description>

Otherwise what else could explain why the U.S. Senate has decided to tackle the nation&#8217;s number one problem &#8211; The college football BCS system. If this is what passes for leadership, we are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well. Whaddayaknow!  It turns out that the Obama economic stimulus bill contained a specific clause that permitted the type of executive bonuses that are causing all this rage.  Of course we knew then that few if any one had read the stimulus bill before the vote. I guess that will jump up and bite some [...]]]></description>

Another day, another Obama appointee.  This time it is former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk who failed to pay close to $10,000 in taxes related to speaking fees that were donated to charity.

And apparently [...]]]></description>

As one wag put it, there are now at least two cabinet level officials that believe taxes are too high! addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fobsoletecertainty.com%2Funpaid-taxes%2F'; addthis_title = 'Taxes'; addthis_pub = '';]]></description>
