It is an unbelievable storm which has now claimed the lives of at least 24 people, nine of whom are children. The stories of children at the Plaza Towers elementary school being pulled out of the rubble, some not making it out alive or missing, are beyond heartbreaking.

Picket jumped in and posed a very valid question, "What happens when the IRS is in charge of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act?" For more on today's IRS testimony, please click here. Today's "Hot Topic" On The Hannity Forums: Rand Paul applauds tax trickery - rightoftheleft "Senator Paul said that as far as he could tell Apple had done nothing illegal. The firm had simply taken advantage of the complexities of the US and foreign tax codes, he said. He complained that instead of celebrating the firm's success, senators were "dragging in" Apple executives and berating them. "Apple has done more to enrich people's lives than politicians will ever do," said the Kentucky lawmaker, a favorite of the tea party. "To the Apple executives here I apologize for this theater of the absurd." >> TV Tonight (Hannity FoxNews at 9pm ET): Search and recovery efforts are ongoing near Oklahoma City.
