For the backstory on this title, see my blogpost “A Klug Zu Columbus’n,” 10/13/14.

But here, as I’m sitting in the lobby of the Hotel Beethoven in Vienna, trying to get Sir Andrew acclimatized to the Austrian Internet while listening to selections from Fidelio (a blessed relief from the nonstop elevator music in Germany and the Czech Republic), I forgot that Tax Court is off for the Columbus Day (or Indigenous Peoples’ Day) holiday.

Wherefore, there will be no discussion today of the foibles of taxpayers and the IRS. Just a reminder that Tax Court is recruiting for a Clerk of the Court and for some STJs. So if you’re off for the holiday and looking for something to do, head for the Tax Court homepage (ustaxcourt.gov) and fire off your resume. But remember: “Exceptionally well-qualified persons will be considered for these positions.” The rest of us duffers need not apply.
