Is it special prosecutor time yet, or is Obama still too historic and popular for the GOP to bother doing the right thing and get definitive answers? From the NYPost: Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack on the US consulate because of a secret low-level war in which American hit squads took out leaders of al Qaeda militias, which retaliated in Benghazi. There was

“Where Was Obama on Night of Benghazi Attack? WH Isn’t Saying”
If I had to guess? Cheeseburgers and ESPN, followed by an early bedtime. So he could be nice and refreshed for his visit with Beyonce. Who rumor has it detests men with puffy eyes.But who knows? It’s all speculation, because evidently it’s none of our goddamn business. The White House isn’t saying where President Barack Obama was, what he did or whom he spoke to between 5:30 p.m. Sept. 11,

Pope Benedict XVI to resign
Becoming the first Pope to do so in 600 years — or since the later Middle Ages / early Renaissance (depending on which historian you use). — Making Pope Benedict far more progressive than score of Popes before him. And yet even he wasn’t good enough for Catholics like Andrew Sullivan, who continue to insist the Church evolve to suit them (and “the modern world”), rather than stick to a

No shame: Obama’s sequestration was “designed as budget threat, not budget strategy” [Darleen Click]
Dem Dick Durbin says so, quite matter-of-factly — as if Obama’s duplicity in July 2011 is, really, no Big Fucking Deal. SOP from King Barry I. h/t Gateway Pundit

What the hell is wrong with people? [Darleen Click] UPDATED x2
It’s not that I didn’t expect some of the usual Leftist Emos to cheer on homicidal manic, Dorner — nevermind the cognitive dissonance of cheering on someone shooting The Man while said oppressed fighter published a “manifesto” full of yearning and praise for Big Daddy Government headed by Obama… …However, the fact that Facebook pages are being put up to support him while his first victims are being mourned by

Dr. Benjamin Carson Addresses National Prayer Breakfast, Criticizes Obamacare [Darleen Click]
I’m thinking we start a pool on how long it takes the IRS or DOJ to start an investigation of this apostate. The first part is about the PC police, Tocqueville and his personal story. At about the 19:00 mark Dr. Carson starts criticizing the tax code: What about our taxation system? So complex! There is no one who can possibly comply with every jot and tittle of our tax

“What immediately comes to mind is Hitler’s paintings …” [Darleen Click]
Oh my, how President George W. Bush continues to live rent-free in the [alleged] minds of leftists WASHINGTON — Many hailed the unveiling of former President George W. Bush’s official portrait in May as a rare moment of bipartisanship in a notoriously divided town. But the photos of Bush’s self-portraits published by The Smoking Gun Thursday night were met with confusion rather than cheers. The paintings, obtained* by hackers who

“Rand Paul to give tea-party group’s response to State of the Union after Rubio delivers GOP’s”
Well, now. That’s pointed, isn’t it? Or is it? With the Rove group having been so thoroughly excoriated for its presumptuousness, and the GOP establishment comically looking to promote Jeb Bush or Chris Christie while keeping Rubio close as a VP candidate who can woo Hispanics and carry FL, perhaps the trick here is to join Paul and Rubio, in whatever configuration, and carry both the right and the moderates

“Community rallies behind homeowner arrested for shooting at burglar”
I posted about this story over the weekend, and there seemed to be something of a split among commenters on the issue. The larger point of my post then — because all the specifics of the incident itself hadn’t yet been made available — was that the kinds of laws that prosecute those defending their property, whether they seem on some level to be a good idea or not, condition
