CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: It's precisely why historically centrally-planned economies don't work.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let me go to Brandon first. I guess this is the question that gets to me.

What happened? BRANDON WEB: Hi, Chris. I think people need to

Pat Caddell: The American People Not Going To Walk Away And Give Up On Privacy

PAT CADDELL: The public overwhelmingly believes the White House either designed, ordered, or knew about the IRS stuff. What we find out with all the scandal stuff, it comes out in driplets.

Dear Governor Perry, It’s me, Melissa. We are getting to be regular pen pals! I hate to be a pest, but it seems my earlier letters didn’t sink in.
