Feel free to ignore this rehash of my old Citizen Journalist’s report. I’m actually re-posting it here so I can have it handy when I next go to my stylist. I think I want to return my hair to the configuration seen herein. I have to say, though, it holds up well. Ah. What could have been, right?

BREAKING: The Scandals are Falling Apart!
So says Ezra Klein, who may turn out to be one of the stupidest people ever to be given column inches in a printed medium of any variety. After reading Klein’s desperate attempt to map onto reality his own desires, written in the form of a serious news piece, I’m tempted to say something like “fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.” But then, the
“Report: IRS Deliberately Chose Not to Fess Up to Scandal Before Election”
But not because they are politicized, or because their employees tend to give to Democrats overwhelmingly. The very suggestion is, as Chris Matthews would remind us, proof that right wingers cannot stand to be ruled by blacks, and that their racism colors (pardon me) every single issue they pretend to care about. Instead, the IRS deliberately chose not to admit to the scandal before the election because it — unlike
“Some question whether AP leak on al-Qaeda plot put U.S. at risk”
Oh, how I do love the “some” when deployed by the mainstream press.

George Rodriguez, former president of the San Antonio Tea Party, said that when the organization applied for non-profit status, leaders were intimidated by IRS workers with excessive paperwork and meddling questions. “They asked us all sorts of things that were out of the
“IRS official who oversaw unit targeting Tea Party now heads ObamaCare office”
Right wing hips and knees and colons and prostates and heart valve transplants hardest hit. — Though, on the glass-half-full side, streamlining approval for progressives wishing to have those Rachel Maddow glasses grafted directly to their faces is soon to be a reality. Yes we can! (h/t Drudge)
A View to a Kill: “Dems offer gun control bill inspired by latest James Bond movie ‘Skyfall'”
Personally, I believe Republicans should respond by introducing a bill that would require any lawmaker introducing a bill have at least a working knowledge of what it is s/he is hoping to legislate. But then, that’s my idea of a Utopia — and admittedly, it lacks that whole forward feel. The Hill: A House Democrat inspired by the last James Bond movie has offered legislation to produce handguns with “personalization
