  1. Elizabeth Warren to pen new book -- a middle-class call to arms?

    A book can’t rescue the American middle class. But a lot of politicians who say they want to rescue the American middle class are writing books about their travails and their vision — all timed to come out as the 2016 presidential election machinery kicks into gear.

  9. IRS tea party targeting "scandal" does not live up to the name

    Now that more extensive, dispassionate reporting has been done about the "scandal&rdquo; at the IRS, it is abundantly obvious that what is being called &ldquo;targeting&rdquo; of tea party organizations and other conservative groups was the result of bureaucratic confusion, not political conspiracy.
