Guys it's been one hell of a day here at the good ole IRS. Need some time to process and to reach out to friends and family affected by the terminations this week. We don't know how many we lost or when this will end. Take care of yourselves, and be kind to the people hurting. We are all Americans.

Oded Lifshitz, 84, dedicated his life to help Palestinians. He drove sick Palestinians from Gaza to hospitals in Israel for treatments. What a tragedy to see a coffin with his picture carried by Palestinians in Gaza.

Oded was such a gifted pianist. This is how we will remember him: Sitting at his piano, lost in a state of flow, breathing life into every note. The sound of him playing will live in our minds and our hearts for the rest of our lives.

I grew up with the polio epidemic. I saw newspaper photos of kids in iron lungs and heard about it on the radio. We had to skip going to the beach because someone with polio had been there. It doesn't cause autism, but if it did, that would be preferable to polio. www.newsweek.com/when-did-we-...
