I'm posting two opinion pieces because they mirror my opinions. It's very convenient to have people write these columns so I can quote them rather than having to do any heavy lifting on my own. :-)

On Tuesday, it looked like we had three possible political scandals brewing. Two days later, with much more evidence available, it doesn’t look like any of them will pan out. There’ll be more hearings, and more bad press for the Obama administration, and more demands for documents. But — and this is a key qualification — absent more revelations, the scandals that could reach high don’t seem to include any real wrongdoing, whereas the ones that include real wrongdoing don’t reach high enough. Let’s go through them.

Peggy Noonan is so overwhelmed by her contempt for the president, she wrote in her column this morning, "We are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate," and then neglected to mention which perceived "scandal" she was even referring to.

Whether you consider the ongoing controversies as serious or trivial, there has to be a smarter way of looking at the news.
