The IRS Scandal, Day 943

Back in October, Forbes tax blogger Peter Reilly asked whether I had jumped the shark by continuing my daily coverage of the IRS Scandal.  My response ("very classy,'' said Peter) asked my readers whether I should continue daily coverage.  The response was overwhelming:  90% of the 973 voters directed me to continue daily coverage of the IRS Scandal:

The comments were even more emphatic (one reader said "Quite possibly the greatest post in the history of TaxProf, regardless of what one thinks happened at the IRS.").

Yesterday, Brian Leiter (Chicago), a member of our Law Professor Blogs Network, asked his readers What is your opinion about the Taxprof blogs daily postings about an IRS scandal that has allegedly been going on for almost three years?  Here were the results of the 38 votes when I checked last night:

I suspect Brian's readers are very different from the readers of this blog, and he attributed nefarious motivations to my daily coverage which undoubtedly influenced the voting.  But it is fair to ask, as Peter did, when my daily coverage will end. My answer is the same as it has been throughout the scandal:  I will stop when the daily commentary in the press and blogosphere on the scandal (from both the right and the left) ends.  At several points in the scandal, as I was running out of content, a new chapter would unfold and my daily coverage would continue.  Currently, the scandal has gone mostly quiet and I have only a few posts left in the queue. So it may be that my daily coverage will end soon, and will be resumed if and when the scandal heats up again.
