So if feeding someone's ego is now a sign of criminal activity, does that mean we get to jail all the wimpy bed-wetters that make us hand out participation trophies?

Keep the athletics, drop the "studies" of all types, and have the professors with tenure teach at least 66% of their classes instead of interns.

While the messenger is a dolt, there is a lot of truth in the message. Many go to college after high school simply because they think they are supposed to, and most enter college undeclared, hoping to find a major while getting their general courses out of the way. This is how they end up in the various "studies" majors, as they are generally less demanding and based on "feeling" the "right" way. Figuring that any degree is marketable, they waste their time and money, and if lucky end up as a GS-4, interviewing for food stamp eligibility.

Steve Miller will fly like an eagle into another cushy appointment and go on with his "stellar" career. He was only put there to take the heat for the exposure of the targeting so that the others could go on to ruin our lives and happiness implementing Obummercare. To think that he gives a flying fig what any one of us average citizens think of him or his actions is a pipe dream. He only cares about himself, and he will go far as long as he is useful to the Incompetent In Chief.

PLEASE! DON'T REMIND ME! His campaign was sleazapalooza 2012, and he never did anything in his ads but say "I'm Alan Grayson, and I approve this message". The messages were always sleazy innuendoes and twisted half truths. The only reason he got elected was the "bipartisan" redistricting that was taken from the state House and put into the hands of "non-partisan" committee. I knew it would happen the moment I saw the proposal for the change on the ballot, but people here are either too dense or preoccupied to see the folly in it.

There are progressives in both parties, and they both love expanded government.

I expect that any day now, Carney will stagger into the press room at the White House roaring drunk, and yell how amazed he is that anyone is still coming to the press briefings, given how everything he tells them is quickly proven false.

So they are using the same defense as the prison guards at Auschwitz. I am not saying they are liars, and I am sure that they were told to do it, but the fact that they actually did it without questioning the legality of it speaks volumes of the quality of "civil servant" being hired these days. Apparently it is more important to be willing to violate the law for political gain than to be competent.

Barry to Axelrod; "Why is everyone so upset? We do this all the time in Illinois!"

Well, no one would question what Stalin and the others did, as they were the law in their lands. Here, in the U.S., is the only place one could get in trouble for doing it.

So, the ACTING head of the IRS resigns. That is like the temp in the office quitting after someone found petty cash missing. Now Steve Miller can go back to his band, work on "Fly Like an Eagle" for their next tour, and in a couple of months be back in the saddle at another cushy gov. post at a higher pay grade for falling on his sword to save "The One". Business as usual in the Chicago/DC corridor of corruption.
