The Dutchman started calling him 'Rep. Bloody-Hands Cummings' because

he was willing to say anything to protect ATF and Holder and everyone else involved from being held to account for Gunwalker; apparently he's willing to slime anybody with anything to try to protect the corrupt IRS as well.

Be it noted that Rep. Gerry Connolly is also quite comfortable with corruption, as long as it's his party using it.  Slimy bastards both.


Couple of days ago Tam advised Farmer Frank had some kind of medical problem; it appears it was a stroke.  If you're the praying sort, I don't doubt it would be appreciated.

Speaking of Tam, ...while I flinch at the sight of Chuck Schumer's head in 1.5x life size there on Meet The Press. Big screen televisors have few drawbacks, but inflating the mug shot of that bipedal Komodo dragon to scary proportions is one of them.


Just to annoy the eavesdroppers(Hi, NSA!) Claire Wolfe had some thoughts a while back on long-term hiding of a boomstick
And it occurs to me that just mentioning her name is probably enough to trigger an alarm somewhere; they really don't like the commoners having impure thoughts.


All-women college mostly filled with vapor-locked 'feminist' wusses.


Mike Rowe helps set up a program that'll help jobs in America; but it's with evil Wal-Mart so the usual whiners are outraged.  Proper response:
“Honestly Kevin, who gives a crap about your feelings toward Walmart?”


More "Why should we trust the IRS or any other agency about ANYTHING?":
In early 2011, Treasury and IRS officials realized they had a problem. They unanimously believed Congress had intended to authorize certain taxes and subsidies in all states, whether or not a state opted to establish a health insurance “exchange” under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. At the same time, agency officials recognized: (1) the PPACA plainly does not allow those taxes and subsidies in non-establishing states; (2) the law’s legislative history offers no support for their theory that Congress intended to allow them in non-establishing states; and (3) Congress had not given the agencies authority to treat non-establishing states the same as establishing states.

Nevertheless, agency officials agreed, again with apparent unanimity, to impose those taxes and dispense those subsidies in states with federal Exchanges, the undisputed plain meaning of the PPACA notwithstanding. Treasury, IRS, and HHS officials simply rewrote the law to create a new, unauthorized entitlement program whose cost “may exceed $500 billion dollars over 10 years.” (My own estimate puts the 10-year cost closer to $700 billion.)

Finally, what little research the agencies performed on Congress’ intent was neither ”serious” nor “thorough,” and appears to have occurred after after agency officials had already made up their minds. For example, Treasury and IRS officials were unaware of numerous elements of the statute and legislative history that conflicted with their theory of Congress’s intent and supported the plain meaning of the statute.
This is flat violation of law, of ethics, of EVERYTHING.  People need to be fired, and these agencies cleaned out.


Well, Ms. Hall, how the hell did you RAISE the kid that you worry about that
