C Street Has to Pay Up -- Neener Neener!

Okay, I'm starting to sound like a spoiled-brat-fourth-grader with this shit, but give me a break. Most people would categorize me as a spoiled-brat-second-grader...

Anyway, it turns out that the mysterious Religious Right "retreat" at the infamous C Street address in Washington DC is essentially a dormitory for the the secretive religious organization The Family (membership including the likes of of Bart Stupak, David Vitter, Chip Pickering, John Ensign, Mark Sanford, James Inhofe, Charles Grassley, Sam Brownback, John Ashcroft, Edwin Meese -- you know, the "usual suspects", but also including such "liberal" luminaries as Hillary Clinton and Al Gore...) and is in deep tax trouble.

The DC tax authority recently held that the infamous C Street House does not qualify for a religious tax exemption, so consequently they owe some ten thousand dollars in property taxes for 2010.

Hmmm, it hardly seems fair, now that I look at it. That property is worth well over one million dollars, so you'd think that the property tax assessment would be a little higher. It's no wonder that DC is in bad shape financially. That's fairly close to the property tax that I pay on a one story 1600 square foot rambler in the city of Olympia WA, a house which is actually worth probably less than one-fourth of the assessed value of the C Street digs.

Something ain't right here...
