Going into surreal mode

comment:
The idea that this administration could still skate on this is mind-boggling.

This is just more unmistakable evidence that this society and the world has entered or has ever been on an unreal state.

Perhaps it can be said to be like the Beatles "Strawberry Fields", where nothing is real, nothing to get hung about.

 Like the song seems to say, there's nothing much you can do about it, so go along for the ride to wherever it goes.

IRS' Lois Lerner To Plead The Fifth Before House Oversight Committee

By Tyler Durden

Created 05/21/2013 - 17:32

For an affair that numerous media outlets will have you believe has been spun out of all proportion, and that it really is the conservatives fault that the IRS was targeting them, it is somewhat ironic that the IRS official who opened up the entire Pandora's box with her targeted apology two weeks ago, and who learned in 2011 about the improper targeting of political groups yet lied under oath to Congress to the contrary, has decided to plead the Fifth and will invoke her right not to testify on Wednesday for fear of self-incrimination, according to her lawyer. But this would mean that... she may have something to hide? And that would be rather problematic for the media's spin cycle, although we are confident it will take just a few minutes of deep though in the proper channels, before this all too overt admission of guilt is somehow spun as the IRS being the unwitting targets of an aggressive McCarthyesque campaign seeking to discredit the government's impartial tax collector whose only noble purpose is to enable the government to get even bigger.
