Good for you on keeping this list current!! ;-)
I'm getting tired of this portrayal of the tax code being too complicated for these Washingon insiders. Heck, these guys wrote these tax laws. They should be very careful in paying their taxes, use professional tax preparers, and maybe even overpay, so that they are above reproach. And let's be clear: there are not tax 'errors', this is tax evasion. Not paying payroll tax for a domestic employee, or a chauffer is not a stupid little mistake. Not paying "both sides" of your FICA tax when you are self-employed is not "a simple oversight" when you are cautioned about it.
Zoe Baird & Kimba Wood happened back in 1993. It's 16 years later & the Washington types still aren't paying the "nanny tax"? Who is fooling who here?
/ rant off
Did I hear correctly on Mark Steyn’s show today that Obama was tired of being in the White House so he went to read to second graders?

Heats Oval Office to temperatures conducive to orchid-growing while Kentucky freezes.
That’s quite a list! Thanks for putting it together!
Nachum, are you gonna keep adding stuff weekly? If you are I want to be on your PING list. This is great!!
It's like forcing a toddler to be potty trained. Takes more time for some.
The federal tax code must be shorn of its bewildering complications, exemptions, deductions and credits so that every taxpayer can pay either with a flat tax return the size of a postcard or a reformed version of the present system.
Problem here is this would shrink the Government...we can’t have that...not on Bambi’s watch!
He governs like he bowls.
