I mean the one about how IRS agents processing applications for tax-exempt status gave an especially hard time to Tea Party and similar groups, asking endless intrusive questions and delaying legitimate tax-exempt status for years or never granting it at all. The botches and disillusionment occasioned by the Obamacare non-rollout have pushed other Obama scandals off the front pages. But as Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice argues <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0019xCvoQga6C7E6T_vbmEaxW-S_IIQckKHzzYZ6k2r6HYc vXoafMkH_Bkns_Xg_jT1x_lf62vHRytdOOubY0O4KeryJTrCBsGpfDEe-PX3OmyegKqSjsn8CZnW W6cbOchz5jgpvKyhwc88M5V-PGQLUWOQ9gjb5Ydq4lEgu6-wY3acIVHAYDLoZceJiCfCL7QqpjsR rSML518LBDhIieZujg==> , the IRS scandal won't be fading from memory any time soon. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0019xCvoQga6C6KBUPn4mG3_lJkxQUc_tUyN7OazG5eAo5a iGEekqUeCxK-YD8BVVezOCBNk0oB3DwCLVmY3HxDRjmL1q_hdh92ndUfNVw3ATq7oraCufpV1zsR 2A9xc_H5P82x-gTbWxPlUDaqTjafl_t7k_rldk1gGBOzsKooAZzgKE3IJUpXDg==> First, details of the agency's wrongdoing, initially said to be confined to a few renegade overworked Cincinnati agents, are still being revealed and at higher levels. Second, the IRS is still being sued by Sekulow's organization. Third, the scandal reminds us of how mean <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0019xCvoQga6C5x0hkMy5KH3FcE-PTRT0ba0i2JLUEF6rKT GZcr3ByE5CTB4Ruv84ZXYumvDJwdDahlIxJ1ai59oqjzHA-pCmt_3vNN-v_p1pgoj7GkXPR2HAk3 29BCJ3a522yDlrAPgQ6Uia0lQw4YO1xe-H7BwproLb5PQXbYnqUUzOoeYtFiousBohp14b_D5Haq qGVqF3lP3Ei3LTliEf_MHpgi6qtqCVo0EZxMehSMzCRZfHASDaQmUl9Fjmam8ASN2Zxzp7Q=> , incompetent, and corrupt the IRS is in so many ways. Fourth, the fish rots from the head <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0019xCvoQga6C4j_wk4ZZHf8DGufsngt3y7xBjFIBsWj4rW vCaWG8Z4DEXEUH_sf9GnQi_q3QzuF2QGJFA3w8nbgz3DAZed2inar3qsPjXLa-raEED_vIKMuf9T T9ghArplQMlY0aknn9K9ndbITOsPTgA_BEnmo20uKmBLCuFlp-Sc2xbeAVOSNMQWssHxoErdjoO6 NMr3ZVNrHwiKgwio4tEyYKcjB6By> . Even if President Obama didn't call IRS and say, "Start targeting Tea Partier types," his many condemnations of such groups all but explicitly invited the targeting. Fifth, Obamacare and the IRS are joined at the hip, with the rogue agency charged with enforcing Obama-mandates. This is like treating food poisoning by clubbing the sufferer's kneecaps. If you're the guy getting your knees smashed, are you going to forget about the role and nature of the perpetrator any time soon? Well, there are millions of people now with bruised kneecaps. This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Lewis, both of whom died in 1963, the same day (as it happens) as the assassination of American President John F. Kennedy. British novelist Anthony Burgess died exactly 30 years later. The date also marks the birth of the great British novelist George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), in 1819. Recommended reading from these authors include: "Silas Marner" (1861), a short and brilliant novel by George Eliot. "Earthly Powers" (1980), a massive novel about life in the 20th century, by the ever-iconoclastic and hard-to-pin-down Anthony Burgess. "The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment" (1949) and "Till We Have Faces" (1956), the former being C.S. Lewis's thoughtful essay on the nature of modern tyranny, and the latter being what some regard his best novel, a retelling of the Psyche myth. "Brave New World" (1931) and "Brave New World Revisited" (1958), the former is Aldous Huxley's classic dystopian satire on technological tyranny, and the latter is the author's survey of the issues raised by - and the degrees to which reality conforms to - his earlier fictional prophecy.
