Republicans Want You--Audited

This from Josh Marshall:

"As you've probably heard, the congress is pushing through a big omnibus spending bill this weekend. And at the last minute, Republican leaders tried to slip in a provision that would give certain committee chairman and their staffers unlimited access to any American's tax return, with none of the standard privacy protections applying.

"You heard that right.

"They could pull anyone's tax return, read it over and do whatever they wanted with the information."

If you are a voice of opposition then you could find youself audited. I for one will be combing through my old tax returns. If I find a major accounting error then you might never hear from your friendly neighborhood Hot Gun Spy ever again.
Honestly, nothing surprises anymore. Seriously, Bush could walk into my house right now and de-pants me and I would just have to say: 'Yea, that's about right.'
The unbelievable is now believable and the absurd is quite routine. I always wondered how things would be in Bizarro America.
