I think many of us who’ve been refusing to let the Benghazi story go have had nagging questions from the get-go about the way the consulate was approached by terrorists (without the heavier fire power they were later to employ against the CIA) and the way the Ambassador was killed — with several stories pointing out that Libyans were actively trying to save him, as (supposedly) evidenced by cell phone

“It is clear that senior administration officials engaged in a wholesale rewriting of intelligence assessments about Benghazi in order to mislead the public.” [Darleen Click]
Most honest, transparent administration EVAH! Within hours of the initial attack on the U.S. facility, the State Department Operations Center sent out two alerts. The first, at 4:05 p.m. (all times are Eastern Daylight Time), indicated that the compound was under attack; the second, at 6:08 p.m., indicated that Ansar al Sharia, an al Qaeda-linked terrorist group operating in Libya, had claimed credit for the attack. According to the House

Never underestimate the depth of Left-liberal anti-religious bigotry [Darleen Click]
Piers Morgan and ilk laughing, mocking and denigrating Mitt Romney as a “religious fanatic” for quoting from Psalms in a commencement speech at University of Southern Virginia, where the students are 92% Mormon. Maeve Reston opines that Romney didn’t connect with Single Women(tm) because he’s just so “into his marriage and kids”. How icky is that! Unless it is Obama, the Family Man, of course.

“The Benghazi Talking Points”
From the Weekly Standard, Stephen Hayes: Even as the White House strove last week to move beyond questions about the Benghazi attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2012, fresh evidence emerged that senior Obama administration officials knowingly misled the country about what had happened in the days following the assaults. The Weekly Standard has obtained a timeline briefed by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence detailing the heavy substantive

“Obama Blames U.S. For Gun Violence In Mexico”
And no, this isn’t an Onion piece. It’s just another sign that the end is well and truly near, so we needn’t even pretend to have any shame left whatsoever: “Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States,” President Obama said during a speech at Mexico’s Anthropology Museum. “I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual

“And that’s the difference: intent”: on “racist” goats and racialist hermeneutics
Finally. Someone with some journalistic balls points to the naked emperor and makes it quite clear, in a loud and unshakable voice, that what we’re all looking at isn’t a “smallish, fur-lined scepter.” Perhaps what’s been missing all these years in my discussions on meaning, intent, and the idea that what we believe we’re doing when we interpret — that is, how our conscious ideas about the process influences the

protein wisdom once again displays his COURAGE
Last night, a bit tipsy on Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey, I’ll admit, I was subjected to (but nevertheless was able to rebuff) a sudden and violent attempt to hate fuck myself. Unfortunately, the rebuff made me quite angry, and outraged, I then forced myself on myself in a fit of pique — this was violence, not sex, let me remind you — managing to feel myself up a bit, all

Who stole America, redux
It was by all accounts an experiment gone wrong, though not desperately so. It involved the mixing of household chemicals in a bottle. Which I’m not terribly interested in other than to expose how the school and school board reacted. “Zero Tolerance Watch: Teen Faces Felony Charges for Science Experiment“: […] No one was hurt. There’s no sign that Wilmot was up to something malevolent. The kid’s own principal thinks
