"Strung Out: Legal Citation, The Bluebook, and the Anxiety of Authority" by Michael Bacchus--If you've ever wondered why legal writing Looks Like That, this goes a long way towards explaining. This article also helped me shift mindsets from finding some of these quirks annoying to amusing. For some additional background on The Bluebook, see the foreword and introduction to The Indigo Book.

"What Does Voluntary Tax Compliance Mean?: A Government Perspective" by J.T. Manhire--I don't think the phrase "voluntary tax compliance" is as confusing to most people as he makes it out to be, if only because most people don't know/care. Everything else before his conclusion was interesting, buuuuuuuuut...the U.S. already has a tax compliance rate so high it's baffling. People trying to solve problems that don't exist is a pet peeve of mine, especially when their proposals are this mediocre.
