Uncle Sam gives homeowners tremendous tax breaks, however, many people don't take advantage of them. According to the most recent report from the U.S. General Accounting Office, more than 2 million people failed to itemize their mortgage interest, mortgage points and real estate taxes. As a result they overpaid $945 million dollars -- they each could have saved roughly $438 per person from their federal income tax.
Bob Walters, chief economist at Quicken Loans, says homebuyers often fail to deduct points a seller pays on their behalf, which also may be tax deductible

"Harley-Davidson's
first quarter performance clearly demonstrates that the
Company is on track to deliver both the short and long-term
performance
objectives which we established earlier this year," said
Jeffrey L. Bleustein,
chairman and chief executive officer of Harley-Davidson, Inc.
"By almost any measure, we are off to a very strong start in
2004 continuing the momentum of our 100th Anniversary. We delivered
solid financial performance this quarter, and our U.S. dealer
network posted the highest first quarter retail sales for
Harley-Davidson motorcycles in its history -- 13 percent ahead of
last year. In addition, we achieved our first quarter motorcycle
production target, setting the pace to reach our goal of 317,000
Harley-Davidson motorcycles by year-end."
"The Company's continuing strong performance supports our
longer-range
objectives to satisfy demand for 400,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycles
in 2007 and to deliver an annual earnings growth rate in the
mid-teens. Harley- Davidson's Board of Directors demonstrated their
confidence in our stated direction by approving the repurchase of
7.8 million shares of stock during the quarter,"said Bleustein.
St.
Paul-AP) -- A federal magistrate is considering what happens next in
the wrongful death lawsuit against former South Dakota Congressman
Bill Janklow.
The lawsuit was filed by the family of a Minnesota motorcyclist
killed in a crash with Janklow's car last August in South Dakota.
They're challenging a conclusion by the U-S Attorney for Minnesota
that Janklow was on official business at the time.
At a hearing in St. Paul Tuesday, attorney Ron Meshbesher asked U-S
Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan to either order a hearing, where
Janklow and his chief of staff would have to testify about the
issue, or at least order them to give depositions.
If it's ultimately ruled that Janklow was on official business, the
family couldn't seek punitive damages, and taxpayers rather than
Janklow would pay any actual damages.
The magistrate took the request under advisement and did not say
when he'll rule
Pennsylvania State Trooper pulled a car over on I-81 about two miles north of the PA/MD state line.When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver answered that he was a magician and a juggler, and he was on his way to Harrisburg to do a show that night at the Zembo Shrine Circus and didn't want to be late.
The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling, and if the driver would do a little juggling for him, he would not give him a ticket.
The driver told the trooper that he had sent all of his equipment on ahead and didn't have anything to juggle.
The trooper told him that he had some flares in the trunk of his patrol car and asked if he could juggle them.
The juggler stated that he could, so the trooper got three flares, lit them and handed them to the juggler.
While the man was doing his juggling act, a car pulled in behind the patrol car, a drunk got out, and watched the performance briefly.
He then went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in.
The trooper observed him doing this and went over to the patrol car, opened the door, and asked the drunk what he thought he was doing.
The drunk replied, "You might as well take my ass to jail, cause there's no way in Hell I can pass that test."
Thanks Bullet
