The Truth About the IRS Scandal? The Computer Ate It

Ah, those dear old days of school, when you hadn't done your homework and told the teacher that Rover, the faithful family dog, had mistaken your project for kibble.

Such excuses are a little less endearing in grown-up life, especially when they involve matters such as turning over evidence in a congressional investigation.

The latest bit of stonewalling by the IRS in Congress' investigation into the targeting of conservative groups for harassment involves the unlikely tale of two years of Lois Lerner's emails and a computer crash.

Manana is Good Enough for Obama

Wow, what a week.

We’ve got floods of illegal immigrant children rushing the southern border looking for freedom, only to be stored in rat-infested warehouses.

Congress questioning the Bergdahl swap that released five terrorist chiefs for one little U.S. deserter.

Iraq crumbling before the eyes of Americans who fought to give that country a shot at democracy.

The IRS losing all those emails from Lois Lerner. (Whew!)

A U.S. veteran still being held prisoner in Mexico for taking a wrong turn.

Russian tanks rolling into the Ukraine.

Chelsea Clinton going in public in leather pants and pumps. …

But don’t worry. President Obama is on the job. He’ll be thinking very hard about all the issues facing this country (many of which he caused) as he gives a commencement speech in Anaheim, California (that’s Disneyland to the rest of the world), stuffs his face at another fancy fundraiser and finally makes a hands-on inspection of the links in Palm Springs.

Obama Finally as Disliked as Bush

Good morning, America. How are you? Did you have a nice nap?

While you were sleeping, those of us who were awake have been suffering through the interminable presidency of the worst chief executive you've ever elected, a man who believes himself to be a king who can step on, over or around the Constitution whenever he feels like it; a man whose first instinct when he makes an unpopular move is to blame it on his enemies then lie about his own involvement; a man who has blithely presided over possibly the worst economic period in our country's history while insisting for years that we're in recovery; a man whose dogmatic agenda and quest for power now endangers thousands of immigrant children's lives and threatens to transform our society forever; a man whose foreign policy is so bumbling that Iraq is now looking to Iran for assistance and the entire Middle East is in danger of exploding into a regional war.

But now that you're awake, it's nice that 51 percent of you finally agree that Obama is as bad as President Bush, according to a new poll that even CNN couldn't spin.

Obama's Foreign Policy Coup: Al-Qaida Taking Back Iraq

Throughout the war in Iraq, liberals clung to the talking point that there were "no" al-Qaida terrorists in Iraq to begin with.

Most conservatives thought that the liberals' whine was meant to support their meme that the war was actually about oil or making the first President Bush proud.

Little did we realize that what liberals meant to say was there were no al-Qaida in Iraq to begin with, therefore we should give the whole country over to al-Qaida.

Similarly, when President Obama said al-Qaida was on the run, he meant on the run ... to Iraq.

Because that's what's happening now.

It's Been One Long 'Boss Battle' With Obama

I finally got a chance to sit down with my son and spend some quality time playing video games.

There were two results: One, I decided that next time “quality time” would be better spent outdoors, where I would be less likely to be beaten to a digital pulp. And two, I was reminded why President Obama is the most annoying person ever to occupy the Oval Office.

Obama’s entire Administration has been run like an ongoing video game. Not a good one, either, like World of Warcraft. More like Mario Karts or Sonic the Hedgehog.

In addition to the obvious refugees from Toon Town that Obama has put in charge of key agencies, the whole Administration runs like a cartoon taxi cab with wobbly wheels in a frantic race to reach the magic mushroom or some damn thing. (The fact that most of the Administration’s cartoon characters, including Obama himself, act like they’ve been taking magic mushrooms doesn’t help the impression.)

You Will See Signs: Transgender Priest at National Cathedral

There was a time when churches and cathedrals across this country were signs of the American populace's devotion to God in their everyday lives.

Perhaps we're all less attached to our communities, more prone to a drive-by lifestyle, but it seems that an increasing number of churches are more empty than full on any given Sunday, and biblical religion is taking more and more of a backseat.

I can't help but feel it's left a void in this country's heart, and when there's a void left behind by the disappearance of something good, it's inevitable that something else entirely will fill the empty space.

So what are we to think of the Washington National Cathedral inviting a transgendered priest to give a sermon at what was formerly a symbol of national piety?

'Ooh La' Is French for 'Oy Gevalt, Obama!'

The more President Obama goes out in public in foreign lands, the more he reminds me of a cartoon caricature.

I haven't quite pinned down which one, yet. I'm thinking some sort of cross between Mr. Magoo and Prince John the thumb-sucking lion from Disney's animated "Robin Hood."

I'll keep working on it. ...

Point is, the guy just gets more ridiculous the more he tries to assert how "cool" and in charge he is.

His latest outing is a case in point. I'm assuming you've all seen the workout video?
