I like the Russky spy story. Our boy carried written instructions! And his spy-ware included a folding knife and three pairs of glasses. I wonder whether one of those glasses had an attached mustache and fake nose.

“Disarray in the IRS.” For normal people this means the organization and, by extension, government, has gotten too large and needs to be cut down to size.

To progressives, this type of disarray only happens when there is not enough government.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Which reminds me, these people really want the IRS to enforce Obamacare? Really?
