IRS Takes Willie Sutton’s Advice
When asked why he robbed banks, notorious criminal, Willie Sutton, responded: “That’s where the money is.”
The IRS finally figured out that if you what to get a lot of back taxes you need to investigate people who actually have money. MSNBC tells us that the IRS gets $3.2 billion from wealthy tax dodgers.
This has to be more profitable than hassling leftie non-profits. Hint: non-profits shouldn’t have a lot of spare change. If you know that they do have a lot of money, then maybe you should take a look.

The BBC has extensive coverage of the “Tulip Revolution”. If you’re a former republic of the Soviet Union you have to have a flower and a color to have a revolution: tulip and pink. There’s more here and even more on the people involved in Kyrgyzstan names interim leader.
You wouldn’t have to know about little countries with strange names if people would elect a government that minded its business, instead of everyone elses.
