Will the Good Guy With a Gun show up to save Wild West Wayne?

Or will he just go back to eating his chicken fried steak at a truck stop in Omaha?

It’s good to see the IRS going after this, and it will be better if they get the resources they need next year to start pursuing all of the wealthy and connected people cheating on their taxes. They need to be taken down, hard, because we lose a ton of tax money already from them, money that the nation has already needed to help the economic recovery.

LaPierre seemed more to be living large by the grift.

At least this time the lawyerin’ fees will be coming out of his own pocket. I doubt E&O insurance covers this.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the LaPierre family, and to all the victims of this tragedy.

Now is the time for burying dead reputations, and tending to wounded integrity.

It’s just too soon for political recriminations in the wake of this horrific audit.

See, this is why we need more praying in schools. Otherwise some of those kids might grow up to be IRS investigators.

Smart move, there may not be anything left, but I’m assuming he’ll “take the honorable way out”.
