When any entity gets so large that it is unyielding and unmanageable, it is only a matter of time before it becomes intrusive. It appears that several departments of our federal government have obviously become downright tyrannical.

Attorney General Holder approved the "Fast and furious" sale of firearms to the drug cartel, but he claims to know nothing about the program. He recused himself from the wiretapping of the Associated Press telephones and seizure of their Facebook accounts, but didn't fill out any paperwork to verify his recusal. And he doesn't remember the date that he took this action. It seems that all he knows is that he doesn't know anything about the initiative to seize the AP journalists' documents. Now it is revealed that the Justice Department seized records of James Rosen, Fox News reporter. What I don't understand is; if the Administration had leaks, why didn't they wiretap their own people? Why infringe on the rights of what, until now, has always been a free press?

Acting IRS Director Miller was grilled by a House Committee and he seems to have come down with convenient amnesia. He couldn't remember which office told him what or when, nor could he recall their names. He was not aware of the IRS targeting conservative and religious groups which opposed the Obama agenda of bigger government. When asked why he didn't provide "full disclosure" at a previous congressional hearing, he danced on the head of a needle al la Clinton and stated that he had told the truth. Any and all specifics of significance usefully escape his recollection.

President Obama stated that he first learned about the IRS targeting conservative groups from hearing it on the news. Several other White House officials knew, but the storyline is that they decided not to tell the One. We are to presume that Mr. Obama was not advised by the Secretary of the Treasury, even though he know at least as early as June 2012, and meets with the president regularly. Also the White House counsel was aware of the IRS targeting effort in June 2012, and even though he is hired to provide counsel to the President, he forgot to tell Mr. Obama.

The individual who was in charge of the tax exempt certificate application department has now been promoted to head the Obamacare tax assessment department. Sarah Hall Ingram headed the tax-exempt division while the conservative and religious groups were targeted for obstruction and delay of their applications. But even though she ran the department, she claims to have known nothing of what was going on. Now Lois Lerner, the IRS director of exempt organizations, invokes her 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination. And still many Americans are awaiting 3-D glasses to see what is going on!

Former Secretary Clinton was asked for additional security for the Benghazi consulate on several occasions, but she knows nothing of those requests. She was advised by Mr. Hicks by telephone, in real time, that there was an "ongoing" terrorist attack on the consulate. But she told the families of the deceased and the American public that it was only a demonstration over a silly video that got out of hand.

Health and Human Services head Kathleen Sebelius is now under investigation for illegal fundraising to help with Obamacare. Probably put pressure on some big corporations to help; the problem is that government employees cannot use their position to raise money.

At some point we must begin to wonder "who the hell is running our government?" Everyone who is charged to know what is going on seems to not have a clue? The acting IRS Director doesn't know what is going on within the IRS. The Attorney General doesn't know what is going on within the Justice Department. The former Secretary of State claims she didn't know what was going on within the State Department. The head of the tax-exempt department won't talk because she doesn't want to go to federal prison? And the President claims that he knows nothing about nothing – and I am prone to believe him if not the others.

President Obama is detached and intellectually disinterested. He won the lottery twice and is preoccupied with making sure that he doesn't miss any of the taxpayer provided goodies before he leaves office. He is interested in: play golf, playing basketball with NBA players, sending Michelle on vacations and shopping trips, sending his kids of spring break trips, hobnobbing with celebrities, traveling around the country raising money for liberal political objectives, and hosting star studded galas at the White House.

One would think that about everything that can go wrong within our government has gone wrong in the past few months: a consulate attacked and an Ambassador killed, a terrorist attack on America, wiretapping of a major news organization, targeting of conservative applicants for tax-exempt status, and private personal information being shared by different federal departments for the purpose of harassing American citizens. Mr. Obama says that there is no "there, there" as pertains to Benghazi; with Harry Reid and a friendly media to protect him, he may be right.

Our mammoth government is so bewildering that no human being could possibly oversee its function. And it so completely corrupt and out of control that it obviously doesn't have the ability to police itself.

The amazing thing is that Obama's approval rating has not dropped through the floor since all the scandals emerged. Guess that means that the 47% actually do exist? Where we are heading is fearful to contemplate but we are getting there faster every day.

Have a good week.

Leroy, do you mind if I ask what kind of cancer you are dealing with?

Bama falls into the losers' bracket after a 5-2 loss to Troy.

Will play the loser of FSU and Savannah State.

Morning gents. Beautiful, but hot, day in suburban Baltimore today. Off of work, so I think I will take junior down to the National Aquarium at the Inner Harbor this morning. He just finished kindergarten last week, so he will be starting first grade next year. Geez, he is growing up too fast.
