Well then, here’s what you need to know:
Yes, it was probably wrong to subject the Tea Party to greater scrutiny as a 501(c)(4) outfit, but really now, are we supposed to think they’re “social welfare” groups and not political operations? If you believe that, then I’ve got a bridge to one of the five NY boroughs to sell you, as noted here (and besides, where was all the umbrage when the IRS under Dubya pulled this little stunt?).
Update 5/15/13: Good points here by Mark Sumner...
Also, it’s not a good thing for the Justice Department to pull this maneuver with the AP, even though, in our “security state” government, “Big Brother” thought he had a reason, but as noted here, the Obama Administration supported legislation that probably would have circumvented this whole mess (which, of course, was defeated by congressional Republicans).
And as always, BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI!!!!! (here).
Update 5/17/13: God, this is pathetic, even for them.

…and here is some good news – does this mean now that, FINALLY, we can do away with this austerity crap? And yes, I know the answer, but I’m keen to ask anyway – sigh (and if Bloomberg is so damn worried about the retiring baby boomers, just start screeching about getting rid of the ceiling on earnings subject to Social Security withholding)…
…turning to music, happy 70th birthday to Jack Bruce of Cream…
…and Mr. S. left us 15 years ago today.
