As you probably know, the IRS is in hot water with the tea party after it admitted, on Friday, that it had targeted groups with “tea party” or “patriot” in their names, for a more thorough review of their tax-exempt status applications. According to the Huffington...
WHCD: Did President Obama Laugh At Himself Too Much?
I am writing this post bogged down in hesitation. You see, I’m going to criticize two of the most popular segments of President Obama’s speech at The White House Correspondent Dinner (WHCD). I know that most of you thought that it was awesome (it was), and that this was due to the...
Maureen Dowd Is Partly Right, Unfortunately

Why I Haven’t Written About The Sequester
You may have noticed that I haven’t written anything on politics for about two weeks. The sequester has been the topic du jour of the month, and continues to be and I haven’t addressed it. What for? You’ve probably already read everything that you need to know about it...
