The much-hyped, and long-delayed, House Republican bill to overhaul the federal tax code is not entirely without redeeming qualities.
GOP tax 'reform' worse than partisan. It's petty.

Marvel Studios and Disney's critical darling Thor: Ragnarok is expected to rouse the U.S. box office back to life this weekend with a $100 million-plus bow, well ahead of the first two films.
Directed by acclaimed New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi, the threequel sees the Asgardian god (Chris Hemsworth) team up with brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and pal Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) to fight the goddess of death, Hela (Cate Blanchett). Idris Elba and Anthony Hopkins also star.
Thor: Ragnarok currently boasts a 97 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes — the top score of any film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (sorry, Iron Man and Captain America).
Overseas, the event film opened to a thunderous $109 million last weekend from about 50 percent of the international marketplace. It debuts in the rest of the world this weekend, including China.
In North America, Thor: Ragnarok will play in 4,080 theaters, including on 391 Imax screens. All 16 MCU movies have opened at No. 1, and Thor: Ragnarok won't be any different. Waititi's film also should have no trouble securing the top debut for a superhero film unfurling in November. Thor: The Dark World, released in November 2013, is the current record-holder with $85.7 million, followed by 2016 MCU titleDoctor Strange ($85 million).
The first Thor launched to $65.7 million in May 2011, making Thor: Ragnarok the rare franchise installment to wield a heavier hammer than previous installments, should all go as planned.
In terms of the top November openings among any film genre, installments in the The Hunger Games and Twilight top the chart, led by 2013's TheHunger Games: Catching Fire ($158.1 million).
The frame's other major new offering is STXfilms' A Bad Moms Christmas, which opened to a muted $2.6 million on Wednesday from 3,615 theaters. Going after women, the sequel had hoped to post a five-day debut in the $22 million-$25 million range, on par with the first film ($23.8 million). Based on Wednesday's gross, the R-rated comedy may not clear $20 million unless it enjoys an especially strong Thursday and weekend.
Corey Feldman publicly accused actor Jon Grissom on Thursday of molesting him when Feldman was a Hollywood child star in the 1980s.
The “Goonies” actor named Grissom as one of his multiple alleged molesters during an appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show,” just moments before calling law enforcement officials to report the allegations.
“That is him,” Feldman said as host Mehmet Oz held up a photo of Grissom on his phone. “That is the guy.”
Feldman, who has alleged for years that he was the victim of a Hollywood pedophile ring, said he wanted to name Grissom in his 2013 memoir Coreyography, but his lawyers said no. He said “Ron Crimson” was the name he chose for Grissom in the book.
“We had to change the names legally,” Feldman said. “The lawyers made me change the names. ... They gave me a list of three or four, you know, names. I picked the one that sounded closest to his name.”
Feldman has publicly identified former child talent manager and convicted sex offender Marty Weiss as one of his former abusers. He said Monday during an appearance on NBC’s “Today” show that he would be “happy” to name five other alleged abusers once he gets legal representation.
The “Stand By Me” actor encouraged Grissom on Thursday to turn himself in to police.
“Now is your time,” Feldman said Thursday. “Be a man for the first time and come forward yourself. ... Let it be known and you will be dealt with in a much more tolerant way, I’m sure. However, if you do not, we are coming for you.”
Grissom appeared in the 1980s movies “License to Drive” and “Dream a Little Dream,” which both starred Feldman. Grissom did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s requests for comment.
Feldman appeared to hint at Grissom’s identity on Twitter in March.
