Quote of the day...  By the editors at NRO, writing about Lois Lerner and the shenanigans at the IRS:

That a not inconsiderable portion of the moral credibility of the United States government now rests in the hands of Eric Holder is not a comforting thought.

Quite.  The way the IRS was used for political purposes in the last election cycle is awful – but even worse is the way the benefiting party is actively blocking the investigation and tolerating this un-American behavior.  Toleration, in this case, is synonymous with encouragement.  The benefiting party in this case is the Democratic party, but I'm not at all sure the behavior would be any different were it the Republicans.  The whole damned system is corrupt, and voters keep voting in more corrupt politicians.

The doom is strong this morning...

   Rope (a whole bunch).
   Tree (a big forest will do).
   Federal elected and appointed officials (almost every one of them).
   Some assembly required (actually, quite a bit of assembly)...
