Last week at my other tax blog: Disaster assistance; Clergy's housing break

Given the troubles caused by the many, many natural disasters this year, a lot of folks have been beseeching a higher power.

And speaking of the convergence of taxes and religion, last week over at Bankrate.com I also raised the question of whether it's time for the clergy housing tax break to go.

That topic was prompted by a recent U.S. Tax Court ruling that expanded the residential housing exclusion to more than one house.
