My television 2 cents on the super committee failure

November 22, 2011

I spoke last night with the NBC affiliate in West Palm Beach about the super committee's inability to complete its assigned deficit reduction task.

I'm not a big fan of myself on camera. And I'm recovering from a cold I caught last week while I was taking a vacation in South Florida. Yeah, that's my story for my nasally voice and I'm sticking to it!

But the NBC reporter asked Bankrate for comment, and my buddies there passed him along to me, so I cowboyed up and went on air via Skype.

And yes, I did do my best Ron Burgandy impersonation.

I dabbed on some makeup, put on a dress shirt and sweater, but I was still wearing shorts and flip flops out of camera range!

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
