If you could manage to make a post without slurring other people you'd not be guessing correctly so often (well, not so much really). Why would people not from the yooo-sess-aye (who are legion) comment on this? Odd as it may seem the rest of the world isn't preoccupied with tax in general and American tax in particular.

An important government agency targetting specific groups of opposite views to the ruling party is not good news, no matter who is in which side. And not's really a tax issue only.
You comment on American news all the time anyway! |

"Lerner said the practice was initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati and was not motivated by political bias. ... About 75 groups were inappropriately targeted. None had their tax-exempt status revoked, Lerner said"
"They accused the agency of frustrating their attempts to become tax exempt by sending them lengthy, intrusive questionnaires."
Oh, right. A minor scandal then. A mountain out of a molehill. A storm in a tea
So the IRS was being sneaky, but nothing that would allow the scorn of the ages to fall upon every Democrat and/or Liberal/liberal member of the PA then. (ffs)
Of course I do.
No political group should be exempt tax.

A minor scandal. But even the president himself has reacted, because out of minor petty things like this bigger things can come. It has happened before.
On the other subject, true. |

Yeah I actually thought the same thing that it really wasn't a big deal. But more details are coming out and it seems bigger than thought. We'll see where it goes. |

Aieee, run away run away... Junkie Russian bears get high by sniffing fumes from discarded barrels of aircraft fuel. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/junkie-russian-bears-high-sniffing-1771007
Oh yeah, you brushed off my warnings about the screaming like human goats, the goats in trees, you are gonna be so sorry now when the junkie Russian bears come for you.
Kudos for Stephen Colbert to making me aware of this. Edited by Slartibartfast - May 14 2013 at 02:25 |

CIA spook detained in Moscow for trying to recruit Russian agent..
BBC article I find this kind of thing intriguing, especially seeing as the cold war "ended" decades ago. In this case the detention was short and he was handed over to US officials, but I wonder how often there are spying incidents that we never hear of, in Russia, the US and Europe.

Outrage at clip of Syrian rebel eating the heart of a soldier!
BBC There has been broad condemnation for a video which appears to show a rebel taking a bite out of the heart of a Syrian soldiers herat. The main opposition groups in Syria have said he will be put on trial. Whatever. Do we really want to be arming and supplying the opposition in Syria? What actual safeguards are there in a lawless civil war zone that effectively prevent weapons falling into the 'wrong hands' War is a dirty business. Do we know for sure that the main opposition groups are not committing all manner of atrocities themselves Edited by Blacksword - May 14 2013 at 07:25 |

The point of the story is for the Arab monarchies and the West to stop arming Islamic fundamentalists, so they can stop massacring religious minorities other than Sunnis and stop them from implementing shariah law in Syria.

No, some members of the US establishment has never stopped this Cold War mentality, even after the Cold War has ended more than 2 decades ago. They also want to find more "Cold Wars" to start, hopefully with some Islamic countries.

^ Now this is sick. "God is on their side". Not laughter-worthy but still somehow funny.
