Happy New Year

It’s a New Year and it’s already off to a bad start. Thirteen miners are trapped in West Virginia, an ice rink roof collapsed in Germany, killing at least five people, and a plane crashed into the Hudson River not far from my home (both passengers survived). So far not as bad as last year’s Tsunami, but if current trends continue, it’s going to be a rough 2006.

Happy New Year.

Me and the Tax Man

Here is my latest GetUnderground.com column, where I describe my most recent losing battle with the I.R.S. I’m still battling New York State’s smaller and more bitter cousin to the I.R.S. That might be a losing battle as well. Wish me luck.
