The notion that a few "low level" local IRS employees went rogue is false. The timeline appendices to the Inspector General's report, released by ABC News, detail a far reaching conspiracy to target Tea Party groups with the knowledge of numerous supervisory and compliance persons within...
Consider this a follow up to my post IRS reaped hatred of Tea Party sown by Democrats and the media. Mediaite, which really is an invaluable resource for videos of what happens on television news, has several videos of commentary from non-right wing pundits concerning the...
There is so much wrong with the IRS scandal at so many levels, it's almost hard to know where to start. It goes way beyond abuse of power, although it certainly is that. It is, as Newt said this morning on Morning Joe, "culturally sick" (emphasis added): "[Obama]...

Happy Mother's Day. As part of my personal celebration, I am planning to indulge in one of my pamper pastimes: Sipping some fine California wine. Sadly, eco-activists have targeted the Golden State's vineyards in their latest fear campaign: The study, published recently in the Proceedings of the National...
Here’s the bummer: right-wing blogs are read by only a fraction of the electorate, and so the good information put out there by the professor is almost without voice in the grand scheme of things. The truth he utters deserves greater audience. The tragedy is that...
