She said she called the Internal Revenue Service and was told the agency had concluded she owed $30,000 in taxes from a 2008 house transaction, which was long ago accounted for on her federal returns. She said she implored the agency to check her tax records and eventually was told the levy was generated in error and her accounts would be freed up.
Although IRS officials removed the levy, they first withdrew all the funds from her account. They said that, too, was in error and the funds would be returned to her. The funds have not been replaced, Ms. O'Donnell said.
... there is an easy solution that will put an end to this kind of abuse:
1) put IRS employees on a "Wall Street" style of pay (30% salary, 70% bonuses, taken from a pool)
2) put all the bonus money into a pool
3) allow those abused the IRS to file claims against the bonus pool (i.e. give them 'standing' in court)
4) make pensions based on the final amount received by each employee
5) add money to bonus pool for proof (admissible in court) that other departments of the government, outside the IRS, tried to exploit taxpayers (like the EOP)

True story:
A friend of mine came across a sleep town somewhere in Umbria, and everything was closed. Somehow, as is my friend's wont, he befriended a guy who ran a small trattoria and then instantly the whole town showed up for a feast.
Evidently the pasta was so delicious that when my friend inquired, the man said that he went to cooking school in New York but he learned ho to make his noodles at Wo-Hop in Chinatown!

Big Al shares a trait with Choom Boy that renders him invulnerable to silly laws that others must follow.
I don't know (or much care) about CO 'D. But it has bothered me for years that Sharpton has gotten away with crimes that should have resulted in serious jail time.

The two biggest super PACs of 2014? Senate Majority PAC and House Majority PAC -- both backing Democrats.
In all, the top 10 individual donors to outside groups injected almost $128 million into this year's elections. Democratic-leaning groups collected $91 million of it.
Among the 183 groups that wrote checks of $100,000 or more to another group, Democrats had a 3-to-1 cash advantage. The biggest player was the National Education Association, at $22 million. Not a single Republican-leaning group cracked the top 10 list of those transferring money to others.
Overall, for the campaign season that just ended, donors who gave more than $1 million sent roughly 60 cents of every dollar to liberal groups. Among the 10 biggest donors, Democrats outspent Republicans by an almost 3-to-1 margin.

... and so I'm reminded of the time, many years ago, ninth grade I think it was. My father served in the Army Air Corp in China, and for a few days the Civil Air Patrol was trying to get Fathers and High Schools kids interested. (Early '60's, late '50's)
So we were out doing Civil Air Patrol stuff which got us kids a ride in this old farmers Cessna class or similar light air craft flying out of his hay field.
... and we're making the turn onto final approach to land in his hayfield, bordered by tall trees at that end, and I knew just enough about flying to look at the instruments and the old guys says, "never mind the instruments. Half of them don't work anyway."

We never recovered from "The Great Recession" (government statisticians are paid to lie). The lowering gas prices are good short-term, and *could* be good long-term, but it's way too early to tell. It's much more likely that it's going to be bad long-term as Russian and ME economies shart their beds.

Turns out that vet had killed so many pet birds that a class action suit had been brought against her, and she wound up selling the business. But not before taking $2,500+ off my hide to deliver back a dying bird "with a bill of good health". ARRRGH!
If any of you know of a vet named Amy B Worell DVM, take care to avoid.

I've got a friend who had to work yesterday at the Japanese place that employs her.
I suspect that the reason restaurants that are open do well is because sometimes no one wants to do all the work that's involved in preparing the meal. A lot of work goes into each of the holiday meals that my family prepares. It's not so bad now because I've got a ton of siblings, and enough of them are local to farm out pretty much everything. And when we were all younger, we went over to my grandparents' house with all of my aunts and uncles doing the work that my siblings do now. But I can easily see an isolated family, or perhaps a group of isolated singles that are far away from their families, who want a nice meal. And at the same time they're also not interested in going to all the trouble that's involved in preparing that meal. For those people, eating out makes sense.

Yes. When you dig into the numbers, our economy is still in the toilet.
All those "new" jobs? Temporary and/or part time.
Most of those have gone to new immigrants (both legal and il-) with most people who where already in the US prior to the Recession (who subsequently lost their jobs) still not having found employment.
Workforce participation is still at or near historic lows, and interest rates just dropped AGAIN (not a good thing by any means).
Food prices are still ridiculous, which is bad for everyone but especially the poor and middle class (whom the Democrats are supposed to love, it is said).
As to the troll's assertion that the GOP would not have made it's gains were the election held now- it lives in fantasy land. When BHO is on the ticket, minority turnout is at or very near historic highs, meaning their continued losses with whites of all categories don't hurt as much. When BHO is *not* on the ticket, that doesn't hold true.
And BHO is *not* on the ticket in 2016.

Thanks, Lauren. Justice? If I had learned this a few years ago I'da probably done something futile and stupid. As it is now, I'd just kill her.
Oh, and, "Seamus Muldoon"? Fuck off troll bait.

In 2016 if the economy is growing at 4% and UE rate under 5%, the Dems will win. You may not like it, but a good economy means a win for the incumbent party.

But his recent race-baiting efforts have given voters (well, the non-black ones, at least) a whole other reason to despise him.

People vote the economy and if it is good in 2016 say hello to President Hillary, President Biden or President Warren. People vote their pockets.

How will Republicans win if the economy is good in 2016?

Ohhh..., wow! I'm just knocked out.
But, hold on..., how much of that was due to Public Sector spending? What about wage increases (zip)? What about *real* inflation vs. CPI, which is what the Fed uses?
It is one thing to throw some Paul Krugman confetti, it is another to try and pay the bills.

I had a most delicious piece of cheesecake from Honeybaked Ham last night. Hot Fudge Sundae they call it: Layers of hot fudge are sandwiched between a layer of creamy vanilla cheesecake in a chocolate cookie crust. White and dark chocolate shavings decorate the top.

Well, after the race riots of the summer of 2015 killed off most of the inner city voting base, the Republicans had an easy time of winning in 2016.

A "Liberal Paradise" would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive healthcare, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities, and only Law Enforcement has guns. And believe it or not, such a place does indeed exist. It's called prison.

Incidentally, you have to be dumb if you think that monkey was "helping" his monkey "friend."
Monkeys don't help, they hurt. Monkeys have no friends.

The Space Channel here just finished 6 days showing every modern episode of Doctor Who. Comedy Channel is playing "The Big Bang Theory" until Monday. Other channels are doing mini marathons of shows. "Z Nation" is having all 13 episodes aired Wednesday, so I'll DVR that because it was a fun show.
I think the first ever television show marathon that I recall was about 25 years ago with either the old "Twilight Zone" episodes or classic "Star Trek."

Reminds me of the endless warnings we got when loading our APC's and tanks on German trains for Reforger exercises: When securing the top hatches, do not stand up afterward. Crouch when stepping off of your vehicle. (Caternary wires were only little over 5-6 feet from the top of a tank.)
