IRS official Lois Lerner to plead the Fifth at congressional hearing tomorrow. Yeah, the law is “irrelevant” until it comes in handy for saving their sorry asses.

Newsweek 1975 : Tornado outbreaks blamed on global cooling. Warming, cooling… the point is you rightwingers are to blame, so shut up and do as you’re told! Oh, and vote Democrat or we’ll audit you.

Fast and Furious/Benghazi investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson: Something fishy’s been going on with my computers since early 2011. “Whether Attkisson was monitored or not, it can’t be just the AP and Rosen whom the feds have snooped on in four years. How many other reporters?” Like the pest control people say, “There’s never just one cockroach…”

Report: Ex-diplomats report new Benghazi whistleblowers with info devastating to Clinton and Obama. Did then SoS Clinton insist the State Dept. give Stinger missiles to “insurgents” who turned out to be Al-Qaeda? Was Amb. Stevens’ trying to recover those missiles when he was killed? Did the WH order General Carter Ham, then in command of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) not to act to protect jeopardized U.S. personnel, an order he disobeyed? Well, if this all happend, we’re sure it was the fault of low-level rogue employees somewhere.

Obamacare premiums 47% higher but deductibles 27% lower than grandfathered health plans; Obamacare lies. “Obama lied when he said ‘you can keep your existing plan’, knowing full well the law was purposely written to make sure that would not happen over time. Eventually you will be stuck with a new Obamacare plan and higher premiums whether you like your existing plan or not.” No doubt he will say this is the fault of some rogue, low-level employees at the IRS again.

EU to ban olive oil jugs from restaurant tables. “The use of classic, refillable glass jugs or glazed terracotta dipping bowls and the choice of a restaurateur to buy olive oil from a small artisan producer or family business will be outlawed.” Making everyone’s lives better by micromanaging them? Frankly, we doubt that was ever the goal.

Bill Maher: GOP guilty of “treason”; Michael Moore: “They hate America.” [Yawn.] They should just phone it in, it’ll save some wear and tear on their chaffeurs and limos. [Video at the link.]

Obama aide: “Irrelevant” where president was during Benghazi attacks. Must’ve been someplace really embarrassing politically, eh?

My generation’s disease. “Millennials are going out of their way to deserve their sad fate.” Well, unlike what certain politicians think, the first step to getting out of a hole is to stop digging.

Note praising Allah 
didn’t float PC boat. “Why the monthlong blackout on the note in the boat? Why didn’t the feds release it immediately?” Well, outside of the fact this info would’ve subverted the Democrat/Leftist/media narrative of the bombing, we don’t have a clue.

Piers Morgan: Say, I guess government can become tyrannical after all. “I’ve had some of the pro-gun lobbyists on here, saying to me, ‘Well, the reason we need to be armed is because of tyranny from our own government,’ and I’ve always laughed at them,” Morgan said last night. “But, actually, this is vaguely tyrannical behavior by the American government.” Anybody who thinks anybody can be trusted with unchecked power just hasn’t been paying attention for the last century or so.

Report: IRS deliberately chose not to fess up to scandal before election. “…what would have happened if this fact came out in September 2012, in the middle of a presidential election? The terrain would have looked very different.” Benghazi as well. Gee, you’d almost think there was an orchestrated, deliberate effort by someone to hide all this stuff so that Obama could be reelected.

Obama calls in Marines – To keep him and Turkish PM dry from rain. Well, he’s really not good with umbrellas, among other things.

A small business owner explains the hard facts of Obamacare to employees. Actual memo sent by small business owner to his employees regarding the changes necessitated due to Obamacare. Even delves into the history of how we got where we are today – the system where employers are the primary provider of health insurance arose as an unintended consequence of 1940s wage controls. Long but worth reading if you have the time.

Did the IRS try to swing election to Obama? “The Tea Party caused a huge landslide and then suddenly seemed to go silent, right around the time of this harassment.” So said a Wall St. Journal reader. And don’t forget Occupy Wall St, an organized leftist kabuki. The Obama mob makes Tricky Dick Nixon’s gang look like a bunch of amateurs.

Obama “fires” acting IRS commissioner in attempt to look like he’s taking action on scandal. Treasury Sec’y Jack Lew asked for and received the resignation of acting IRS chief Steve Miller. It turns out that Miller said in an email to his staff that he was going to leave in early June anyway. The sacrificial lamb was dead already. Another big nothing from President No There There.

NBC news reporter: AP scandal angers one of Obama’s “most important constituencies – the press”. “Given that, said Myers, ‘it’s hard to imagine they would have green-lighted this thing.'” And given that, it’s hard to imagine anyone believing “the press” are neutral actors ever again after this Bidenesque gaffe. Thanks for the “heads up” (her butt, that is.) [Video at the link.]

Politico: D.C. turns on Obama. “Establishment Democrats, never big fans of this president to begin with, are starting to speak out. And reporters are tripping over themselves to condemn lies, bullying and shadiness in the Obama administration.” Rush Limbaugh made mention of this – if it comes to a choice between defending Obama and defending thier big government crony capitalism goodie dispenser machine, Obama is toast. Even Chris Tingles and his fellow nanny state shills are on board with that…

IRS faces class action lawsuit over theft of 60 million medical records. “…an unnamed HIPAA-covered entity in California is suing the IRS, alleging that some 60 million medical records from 10 million patients were stolen by 15 IRS agents. The personal health information seized on March 11, 2011, included psychological counseling, gynecological counseling, sexual/drug treatment and other medical treatment data.” Drunk on power – it’s like they can’t help themselves, isn’t it?

Axelrod: Government “so vast,” Obama can’t know about wrongdoing. Well, then why has the sooper-genius “gentlemen’s C” student spent the last 4.5 years working his ass off to make it BIGGER? And it’s interesting that all “wrongdoing” was the president’s fault when the purportedly dumbsh*t Bush was in charge, but now that the allegedy smartest man in the world is running things the mean ole gubbermint is too suddenly too big to cope with. Clown.

ABC Analyst: West Wing of White House authorized IRS-Gate targeting. “I will tell you this on the IRS front. … It simply just does not happen at an agency level like that without political advisers likely in the West Wing certainly connected to the president’s ongoing campaign organization.” Duh. One thing about bureaucrats – they generally “go by the book” untill instructed otherwise.

NAACP Chair Emeritus backs IRS targeting of conservatives. “I don’t think there’s a double standard at all,” [former NAACP chair Julian] Bond said. “I think it’s entirely legitimate to look at the tea party. I mean, here are a group of people who are admittedly racist, who are overtly political, who tried as best they can to harm President Obama in every way they can.” They’re down to playing the raaaaace card already.

Good news from Bette Midler: “I LOVE THE IRS!!!” “I LOVE THE IRS!!!HOW CAN A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION BE CALLED A NON-PROFIT THAT PROMOTES GENERAL WELFARE?? — Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) May 14, 2013” She should move to North Korea – their IRS is tops at promoting general welfare.

Obamagate. A sampling of the growing number of folks, including Democrats, that are making this analogy. Obama as Nixon + 40: Nixon was elected in 1968 and 1972, Obama in 2008 and 2012. Watergate broke out in 1973, Obamagate in 2013. Nixon was driven from office in 1974, will history repeat again? We can’t decide if Joe Biden is more like Spiro Agnew or Gerry Ford.

Carney: “No Knowledge of any attempt by the Justice Department to seek phone records of the AP”. Obama should just hire a parrot so the country can at least save the money we’re paying this jerk. “Squawk! No knowledge! No knowledge! Carney wants a cracker! Squawk!”
