STIMULUS MONEY went to non-existent ZIP codes.

Instapundit comments: “Yeah, but it helped to ease the crushing burden of nonexistent unemployment there.”

IS THE IRS getting kinder? Or less efficient?

I used to get my tax forms before Christmas. This year I didn't receive the 1040s until today.

THE INNER WORKINGS of ObamaCare.

I suspect this is an accurate representation of what will come if the current legislation is passed.

FIVE MYTHS about keeping America safe from terrorism: "The biggest whopper of all? The paternalistic assertion that the government can keep us all safe without our help."
