IRS PROBES TATTLER

Having escaped by the skin of its beak, a Justice Department probe into its phone records, the Treetops Tattler is now under attack by the IRS for being a left and right wing organization.

Coming to the defense of his constituents in Treetops, Sen. Batson D. Belfry pointed out that all birds have two wings; otherwise they would be constantly flying in circles.

IRS Chief Consul William Wilkson presented evidence that the birds of Treetops DO mostly just fly around in circles.

Senator Belfry then countered that the flying around in circles thing was a matter of choice, combined with a remarkably poor sense of direction, and not at all politically motivated.

The Internal Revenue Service's intense scrutiny of certain organization's request for non-profit status is, itself, under intense scrutiny.

P. Martin Shoemaker, Editor of the Tattler, claims that the newspaper has no desire for "not for profit" status, "That's just the way it works out. We'd love to see a little profit around here," Shoemaker complained.

Americans everywhere are in something that can only be described as a state of mourning over their favorite government agency being on the hot seat. Randi Bing, a long time taxpayer commented, "I'm worried sick about all the fine folks at the IRS…if there's anything at all I can do…" "Hee hee"

There's talk of a "Save the IRS" march on the nation's capitol, seven to eight people are expected to attend, road closures are likely, along with the closures of some major monuments.

The Westboro Baptist Church has announced that it's planning to protest the protest.
