Ever heard of this...
Just got a flyer from American Express stating that if I charge the
$100 application fee for "Global Entry" (*) to my Platinum Card, they
will give me a $100 credit.
(*) "Global Entry is a U.S. government program that allows expedited
customs and immigration clearance at most U.S. airports for
pre-approved travelers returning from international travel."
Wonder if that applies to Tea Party Members or "Patriots" ?:-)
Also, in case you don't follow the news, the IRS broad, Lois Lerner,
is going to plead the Fifth in tomorrow's Congressional hearings.
Amazing how these filth take advantage of the Constitution when it's
to their advantage, but abuse it when coming after us mere citizens.

Besides - deep down...
I don't trust the Congress any more than you do, or perhaps Lois does.
Screw them. I would take the Fifth also -- even with nothing to hide. Let's see how willing they are to grant immunity if they truly want answers. My guess is it's too good of theater to smear Obama (or try to), so I'm fairly confidant they don't give a damn about Lois' answers anyway. She's a pawn.
But you know what really pisses me off is this whole political correctness bullshit. Everyone knows those 501c4's inject unfair bias into the elections. Why give them tax shelter? The IRS should tell the Supreme Court to shove it. Citizens United is the true problem here.. not Lois. (respectfully submitted, your opinions may differ).

recommendation of 'more training' makes sense, too: gotta insulate
the rank-and-file from the political appointees' maneuverings, and
insisting on following written (and easily audited) procedures makes
future misdeeds unlikely.

Regan did have Alzheimers - and was showing early symptoms when he was running for his second term - as was noticed by the British psychologist Brian Butterworth, and published in British newspapers at the time.

My theory is that he was a glove puppet, and the people who wrote his lines weren't inconvenienced by his failing memory as long as he could still learn his lines. Questioning a glove puppet is never all that useful, even when he can remember the lines he was told to memorise.

He would like nothing more than to see them replaced with more
reasonable Republicans. Given the Gerrymandering, knocking a Tea Bagger
out in the primary will still yield a Republican in the actual election,
so the Tea Baggers do not get more Republicans in office. Rather, they
just make problems for the rest of the GOP.

Here are two standard defenses to keep your arse out of jail while
giving testimony. One is "I don't recall." The other is you start your
reply with "If I understand the question......".
The deal is nobody knows what you can recall, so it isn't perjury.
Nobody knows what you comprehend, hence you can always say you didn't
fully understand the question.
Oliver North had a "recall" problem, and he certainly was of sound mind,
so to speak.
