The real powers in the U.S. government

December 5, 2011

I guess I'm going to have to start DVRing Saturday Night Live so I can fast forward to the few and far between funny skits, like the message below from the President of the United States.

Obama, channeled by Fred Armisen, begins after the brief ad (everybody's got bills to pay).

The hubby says we watched this, but I must have been dozing. I would have remembered the ineffective Congress assessment that topped the list, as well as Grover Norquist and his no-tax pledge getting the #2 ranking.

As an explanation for my oversight, I refer you back to this weekend's post about how we, and apparently me in particular, know how to party!

One other thing. Not to correct the "president," but I will point out a mistake by his comedy writers.

The dancing Kia critters are hamsters, hence the "Hamstar" T-shirt, not gerbils.

Tax Season 2026 Continues!

We made it. Tax Day 2025 is finally over. For most of us. When the filing season started on Jan. 26, millions who were expecting refunds filed immediately. Most of us got our returns to the Internal Revenue Service by April 15. But plenty of taxpayers also got extensions. They are looking at an Oct. 15 filing deadline.

Those procrastinating filers aren’t a problem. In fact, the IRS appreciates taxpayers who take time to fill out their 1040 forms correctly. It also is grateful that tax submissions are spread out a bit, especially now that the IRS is a leaner agency. Processing returns is easier when they arrive throughout the year instead of in massive bunches.

But enough about Uncle Sam’s tax collection issues. The focus now is on all y’all who filed for extensions, giving you another six months to complete your return. Since your new mid-October due date will be here before you know it, let’s get started now on meeting it.

The ol’ blog is here to help you finish up your extended Form 1040. You can start with January’s tax tips page, which has links to the rest of the year’s tips by-month collections. You also can peruse various tax categories for more tailored advice by clicking on the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of this (and every) page.

And to make sure you don’t miss your new filing deadline, the count-down clock below will let you know just how much time you to file by Oct. 15. At the latest.e. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
