Although it's definitely wrong/bad,

that the IRS targeted the Tea Party-type groups for investigation, it's TOTALLY different from what Nixon did with his 'enemies list', where he had individuals 'audited' and persecuted. This time, the IRS looked at the 'tax exempt status', of groups like Crossroad GPS,, and other rightwing groups, whose only function was to elect Repubs, cuz they claimed they were a 'social welfare' group, which is total bullshit, BUT, would allow them special tax priveleges. Politics is an ugly game, with HUGE dollar amounts, and the 'patriotic' Tea Partiers' existed for one reason only, and that was/is, to take down Obama. It's fine to fight back, but this isn't the right way, and is comparable to the 'Citizen's United' ruling by the Repub Surpeme Court that allows corporations to buy elections, legally. Unlike the Benghazi bullshit, where no one can actually explain the 'terrible thing' Obama did, but FOX assures the sheep it was 'impeachable', the IRS thing is gonna be around for a LONG time. Too soon to say if the AP phone record snooping was warranted, but I don't like the gov't being so 'Big Brother'. At least he didn't 'shock and awe' a bunch of inncocent civilians and start a 10+year, multi-trillion dollar war, based on easily provable lies, which the Pubs have 'no problem' with. Bottom line, it just proves there are sleazeballs on both sides of the aisle, which is nothing new.

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
