Clinton Writes Off $13.2 Million Loan to Campaign (Update3)at Bloomberg. This will help clear some roadblocks before taking on the Secretary of State position. And although there are still some debts to be paid, she continues to work on clearing the debt.
Clinton, 61, had earlier said she didn’t expect to be repaid. The money will now be considered a campaign contribution, which isn’t tax-deductible, FEC spokesman Bob Biersack said.
Nor can she deduct the money as a bad debt or as a job- hunting expense because political campaigns don’t qualify under the tax code, said Paul Caron, associate dean of the University of Cincinnati law school and editor of TaxProf Blog.
Even after writing off the loan and interest, she reported owing $6.4 million to vendors as of Nov. 30, including $5.4 million to former chief strategist Mark Penn. That’s down from $7.5 million at the end of October.
She did pay off her $200,000 debt to spokesman Howard Wolfson and the $58,000 owed to media consultant Mandy Grunwald.

Video cameras sure have become handy devices on the spur of the moment. Most people want to capture those special moments in a baby’s life.

Where are the responsible adults looking out for the safety of this baby?
Parents?
Is this a cultural norm?
Are there any other toys at home?
Imagine growing up playing with snakes and having no fear?
Imagine child protective services tapping on your door with the police at their side, if you shot this video, and the parents were amusingly following along.
