Leonard Pitts: What was the IRS thinking?

Leonard Pitts: Ignoring the real while fighting the imaginary

It should've been the shot heard around the world. Chances are, you didn't hear it. An ominous sort of history was made last week near Austin, Texas, but it seems to have largely escaped notice. There was some media coverage, yes, but less than, say, Lindsay Lohan's latest stint in rehab, certainly less than you'd think for something whose ramifications will likely shadow us for years.

Leonard Pitts: Running from life

Leonard Pitts: Collins scores for gay rights

Leonard Pitts: A little humility may be in order

This is for the rest of us. Meaning the ones who don't have personal chefs, gift-wrapping rooms or hired sycophants, who don't hobnob or rub shoulders, and who drive the same car every day of the week. The rest of us would like to offer some of you a little advice:

Leonard Pitts: Even in tragedy, a nation divided

Leonard Pitts: 'Oh, my God'

Soon after the explosions, there appeared on the website of The Boston Globe a video of the moment. Runners in the city's iconic marathon are jogging across the finish line and everyone is cheering, when there is a clap of thunder and an orange bloom of fire from within a ring of flags honoring the nations represented in the race. It is followed, seconds later, by another blast from just down the street.

Leonard Pitts: More feedback on 'Accidental Racist'

There are many things to say about Brad Paisley's new song. The country music giant is under fire for "Accidental Racist," about a Starbucks employee who objects to Paisley's Confederate battle flag shirt.

Leonard Pitts: Obama's eye-candy comment leaves sour aftertaste

Leonard Pitts: We've made progress, only to see it undone

What we have here is a failure to communicate. Or at least, that's Rick Ross' story and he's sticking to it.

Leonard Pitts: Father, forgive us; for we know not what we do

Jonylah Watkins died on a Tuesday. She was with her father, who was sitting in a minivan in Chicago on the night of March 11 when someone opened fire.

Leonard Pitts: Right decision, wrong reason

Let there be no cheers for Rob Portman. The Ohio senator is, pardon the tautology, a conservative Republican and last week, he did something conservative Republicans do not do. He came out for same-sex marriage.

Leonard Pitts: Life continues, graciously

Really? Bobbie Smith, too? Geez. This is what I'm thinking when word comes that the lead singer of the Spinners has died. It comes a month after Richard Street and Damon Harris, who sang on "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" with the Temptations, passed away just days apart.

Leonard Pitts: 'Gideon's' promise still unfulfilled

Karen Houppert has written a book of nightmares.

Leonard Pitts: Freedom to make stupid decisions

Perhaps you remember when Dr. Doom conquered the world. Or perhaps you don't. Sadly enough, even in this day and age, not everyone is comic book literate.

Leonard Pitts: I (heart) introverts

Leonard Pitts: Onion 'edgy': Tasteless and sickening

The tweet went as follows: "Everyone else seems afraid to say it, but that Quvenzhane Wallis is kind of a (expletive), right?" The missing word is a bit of verbal sewage sometimes used to disparage women.

Leonard Pitts: Rush to the defense? Not so fast

Dear David from Georgia: I want to thank you for the email you sent last week. It made me laugh out loud. It seems you were unhappy I took a shot at Rush Limbaugh a few days back.

Leonard Pitts: The weighty issue of the day

So it turns out Chris Christie is fat. If, somehow, that fact had escaped you before, surely it came slamming home recently after he appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman." There was the 50-year-old governor of New Jersey jokingly snacking on a doughnut as the talk-show host -- who has taken a jab or two at Christie's weight -- gently asked him about his girth. The bit was in keeping with how Christie usually deals with weight-related humor. He seems to feel the best defense is a good fat joke.

Leonard Pitts: Calling out bugnut idiocy

Rush Limbaugh thinks John Lewis should have been armed.
