I Don't Find This Stuff Amusing Any More

Is it just those who aren't politicians who pay their taxes these days?

Nancy Killefer withdrew her nomination Tuesday to become the Obama administration's chief performance officer, citing unspecified problems with District of Columbia unemployment tax.

I appreciate that the tax code is tricky, especially as it considers parish clergy to be "self-employed", but these are the smart people, aren't they? These are our leaders, right?

Seems like the whole notion of stewardship, in both the secular and sacred worlds, is rapidly disintegrating.
