When it rains, it pours.  What a shitty week… I’ll be leaving right after the show today as I have to take my sister to a doctor’s appointment…

Today on the show, an update on the IRS (non) scandal and what Darrell Issa is hiding…

We’ll examine the privacy vs security conundrum with Dave Johnson…  (Read his frightening piece on the TransPacific Partnership here)

And Laffy‘s back.  Our two sad souls will attempt to cheer each other up, and we might even talk about some of these stories:

Inmate at federal prison: “A heartfelt thank you to the NRA & all those members of Congress voting with them.”

“We are saturating neighborhoods with defensive weapons… Fighting the war on women, one free shotgun at a time.”

“Everyone is wondering where

[the shooter] got the money for the weapons.” (semiautomatic assault rifle, 20 magazines, .44-caliber revolver, 1300 rounds of ammo)

Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno: “Maybe we have a bigger [sexual assault ] problem than I imagined.” Ya think?

VIDEO: So a white guy, a black guy, and a pretty blonde try to steal a bike…

VIDEO– Fox Biz’s Neil Cavuto to liberal commentator: “It’s annoying how obnoxious you can be… Cut his damn mic!”

What WI Gov. Scott Walker, GOP do when they need positive voucher school study: Pay major donors to do the research.

RNC Chair Reince Priebus thinks GOP Va. Cuccinelli running mate E.W. Jackson is a “dynamic guy,” “articulate.”

PS (Post Show) notes:  Laffy and I got to none of those stories, but they’re certainly worth checking out.  Instead, we did make each other laugh…  For those who listened to the audio of the show and are curious about Howard Dean’s really bad hair day, here’s a screen shot from his appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Jerk today:
