Local Fox station traces Cincinnati IRS skullduggery to one woman. Her name is Cindy Thomas and she’s also the woman who delivered information about conservative organizations to George Soros’ ProPublica outfit so they could publish it – information she gleaned from confidential IRS applications. Oh, by the way, Cindy is not a “low-level rogue employee.” She’s the “Program Manager of the Tax Exempt Division” in Cincinnati.

Michelle Obama considering spending the summer on Martha’s Vineyard. Exhausted after three months – three months, poor woman – without a vacation, it’s understandable why the first lady feels she needs an extended break.

Burglars in Houston stuff homeowner in a closet. Unfortunately for the burglars, the closet was a gun closet. Things did not go well (for the burglars) after that.

Creepy Peeping Tom artist selling photos of his neighbors inside their own apartments. And the prices are steep. He’s asking as much as $7,500 for some of them. New York, New York: the only place in the world where large sodas are banned and photos from perverts are prized.

Poop foam causing explosions on hog farms. The manure pits underneath Midwest hog finishing barns are foaming so aggressively it’s oozing up through the slats in the floors… and sometimes exploding. Which the hogs bitterly resent. No word thus far from university researchers about whether similar foaming exists under the U.S. Capitol.

As IRS scandal snowballs, Wayne Root feels vindicated. A former classmate of Obama’s at Columbia and relentless critic of the president’s policies, Root has been trying to tell people since January of 2011 that Obama sicced the IRS on him for revenge. No doubt the NAACP will announce that Mr. Root deserves the audits because his name is a racist thinly-veiled mockery of Kunta Kinte.

Meanwhile, Obama’s shady brother’s charity got the fastest tax exemption in history. Although many conservative organizations are still waiting for IRS approval of their tax exempt status three years after filing, the Barack H. Obama Foundation filed its application three years late and the IRS approved it 27 days later.

Obama’s IRS hit team came after Billy Graham, too! Last year, after The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association urged voters to back “candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel,” the IRS came calling, started auditing, and kept them busy until after the November election. Then they were notified they passed the audit and could keep their income tax exemption. The timing was probably just a coincidence.

Koch Industries Lawyer to White House: “How Did You Get Our Tax Information?” If the information about Koch Industries divulged by the Obama administration in August of 2010 came from the IRS, that’s a violation of federal law. And not a minor violation – someone will do time.

Venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins learns an age-old lesson: get in bed with a whore and your wallet will be missing in the morning. They brought Al Gore into the firm as a senior partner in 2007. Gore talked them into all kinds of “clean energy” investments (including Fisker Automotive, which just fired 75% of its workforce) and now the legendary venture firm admits the experience has been “humbling.”

U.N. says, “Let them eat bugs!” The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization issued a 200-page report today arguing that eating insects will fight hunger, boost nutrition and reduce pollution. Please, God, don’t let Mayor Bloomberg hear about this.

The 10 creepiest teachers who allegedly molested or tried to bang students last month. What is this? An epidemic of depravity? Or the latest greatest idea for encouraging boys to stay in school?

Glacier attack in Minnesota. The cellphone video at the link is like something from The Chronicles of Narnia. Let it serve as a warning to anyone who thinks global warming is a bigger worry than the next ice age. (It gets really interesting 30 seconds in.)

The presidents of both ABC News and CBS News have siblings working in the White House… with direct ties to the Benghazi mess. And, CNN’s deputy bureau chief is married to Hillary Clinton’s deputy. Gee whiz, why won’t the mainstream media cover Benghazi?

New York bakery creates 36,000-calorie cupcake. They named it the “Mayor Bloomberg.” It’s made with 12 pounds of sugar, five pounds of butter, two dozen eggs, and a frowning picture of Nanny Bloomberg on top.

Vampires in Ohio. Two abortion clinics closed by the state of Ohio were engaged in various medical malpractices… including stealing patients’ blood.

New York nanny-dictators go after the butter. School kitchen managers who defied the bureaucracy by ordering butter for cooking will receive “disciplinary letters.”

Tweet of the century. If they ever decide to give Pulitzer Prizes for Twitter ripostes…

Headline News and CNN do split-screen interview with anchors in same parking lot. They were even facing the same direction. And based on the same bus passing behind them at the same time, they were so close they could practically touch each other. But hey, we get it, we really do. Walking over and talking face to face wouldn’t have been as impressive as talking on the split-screen.

Drone operator tells Sean Hannity Benghazi attack was known about hours before it happened.

We had a supportive unit that we were working for in that region that told us to go there. It was known prior to us even taking off from the location we took off from which I can’t name, that ‘hey, you’re going to be going to the consulate because there are reports that something might go down or is going down.’ So… it was already known in my mind – hours before.

Marco Rubio’s chief of staff worked for George Soros. Now you know why the new senator from Florida is such a disappointment.

Democrat listed twice on today’s special election ballot. And the bureaucrats running the election, probably mostly Democrats themselves, see nothing wrong with that.

NY Times sends lackeys to erase Islam from Boston bombing story:

“While the New York Times dispatched its best and brightest lackeys to Boston to write sensitive pieces on how hard it was for the two Tsarnaevs to fit in, it fell to a UK tabloids like The Sun to conduct an interview with the ex-girlfriend of the lead terrorist and learn that he wanted her to hate America and beat her because she wouldn’t wear a Hijab.”

The United Nations Twitter account is following “Big Busty” porn star. Out of all the millions of Twitter accounts in the world the UN only follows 537… and one of them is Penelope Black Diamond. Good to see them using the $7 billion we pay them every year so wisely.

42,000 Canadians left the country to get medical care last year. Another year, another ringing endorsement for socialized medicine.
