| The panel guests on ABC News’ This Week erupted over a discussion about United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, her role in the administration’s early push to blame the September 11 attack in Benghazi on a YouTube video and Congressional Republican’s reaction to the attack in Libya. One panel guest lamented that Republicans had not rallied around President Barack Obama as Democrats did around Ronald Reagan in the wake of an attack in Lebanon. Former Mitt Romney advisor, Dan Senor, sent the panel into a frenzy when he suggested that the Reagan administration

The facts surrounding the 1983 Lebanon attack were out in the open, nothing to hide. Benghazi, on the other hand, has been all deception, misleading statements, outright lies and cover up. When are they going to reveal the secret war? That the Benghazi "consulate" was not a consulate at all, but a secret CIA operation to send weapons for the secret war against Assad in Syria? When is the "video maker" going to be given access to the press? When is he going to be released from prison?

Let´s just sit back and enjoy the show while we watch Susan Rice and John Kerry, as they attempt to castrate each other. Such fun! .... Of course, it´s important to note that one of these candidates is black, and anyone opposing her will be labeled a racist.
Take a front row seat and pass the popcorn.

And would the ´rats have ´rallied around´ President Reagan if he had watched, live by satellite, Americans being killed and ordered everyone to ´stand down´ and not send help? Would the ´rats have ´rallied around´ President Reagan if he had gone to bed while Americans were being killed. Would the ´rats have ´rallied around´ President Reagan if he had gone to Las Vegas the very next day for a fund-raising event? NO, they would not have, they would have been incensed and a fire-storm of rage would have fallen on President Reagan by the media. But when their guy does all this, they ignore it except to condemn those who are outraged.

Unlike Obama ,Ronald Reagan was not MIA for hours , his whereabouts unknown . There were no whispers about Reagan being with his latest ..ahem...man friend while the Embassy burned. Nor were there questions about Reagan´s sobriety or his love of America . No one wondered whether Reagan was watching ESPN during the attack. And no one would ever consider the possibility that Reagan actually watched Americans being murdered in real time and refused to act or ordered a stand down.

ABC-White House, CBS White House, NBC-White House. What is the point of watching these programs? The GOP shoots themselves in the feet every time they appear on these shows by providing legitimacy to the enemies of America.
How many times has the question been asked since the election on how the GOP can compete in the marketplace of ideas and get their message out to the general public? Going on the Sunday news shows won`t cut it. It is enemy territory and the GOP is preaching to choir that does not want to hear what they have to say.
Find another way!!

Keith Ellison is a credible expert on what? Racially divisive politics maybe. Islam, maybe. American history? Since when? The entire panel discussion, including Dan Senor´s point is beside the point: an Ambassador was murdered and the Administration, assisted by Linda Rice, attempted to cover it up with blatant lies. They have been successful in getting the media to focus on process and politics. Fine with them...just don´t pay attention to incompetence and perjury.

If you think Beirut should provide a good comparison, consider this: On October, 23, 1983, U.S. Marine barracks at Beirut was bombed. On December 19, 1983, just 57 days later, the Investigations Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee (led by the opposition party) issued its report on the incident.
Contrast to Benghazi, it´s been 82 days, and the WH has combined stonewalling with a disinformation campaign.

By any observable metric, zombies are totally hot right now. Look at movies like "Warm Bodies" and the coming "World War Z," the ratings for AMC´s hit series "The Walking Dead" (12.9 million viewers for its recent season finale) and $2.5 billion in annual sales for zombie videogames. Over the past decade, between a third and a half of all zombie movies ever made have been released. A glance at Google GOOG -1.51%Trends reveals that in the past few years, interest in flesh-eating ghouls has far outstripped popular enthusiasm for vampires, wizards and hobbits.

J. David Kuo, an evangelical Christian conservative and former top official of President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative who drew wide attention when he publicly accused the administration of failing to live up to the values it espoused, died April 5 in Charlotte. He was 44.He was diagnosed a decade ago with brain cancer, his wife, Kimberly, said. The arc of Mr. Kuo’s life and career had taken him from liberal to conservative, from hard-edged Republican activism in the 1990s to disillusionment with the idea that politics could serve as an extension of his faith.

This country is an embarrassment. We can’t do anything right, least of all corruption. Look, when Venezuela’s populist demagogue Hugo Chavez died, word was he’d somehow accumulated an estate worth $2 billion. In the old days when the PRI party ruled Mexico uninterruptedly, every president got a single six-year term — and promptly retired at its close as a billionaire.And that was when a billion was real money.

Like most of you, I yearn for shorter winters, more shirt-sleeve weather, less lashing from frigid winds. As a confirmed New Yorker, I’m not willing to do what millions have done: move to the sunbelt. I want warmer weather here in the Big City.But I’ve grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when predictions of a looming ice age were supplanted by warmmongering. Now I’m 68, and there’s still no sign of warmer weather. It’s enough to make one doubt the “settled science” of the government-funded doom-sayers.

In a measure of solidarity with those affected by the budget-slashing government sequestration, President Obama is giving up 5 percent of his salary for rest of the year, which is almost as admirable and sensible as a mansion-owner shutting off his marble fountains during a drought.This is not to imply that the president shouldn´t demonstrate some unity with those who´ve been furloughed or lost work because of the blind slashing the sequestration prompted. People like Jeff Maryak, profiled by BuzzFeed, who is considering re-enlisting to make ends meet after a 27 percent pay cut.

WASHINGTON — A photo of the Obamas hugging that was released on Election Day 2012 has become the world´s most popular tweet on Twitter. A dressed-up version of Barack Obama´s State of the Union speech, packed with charts and graphs, is huge on YouTube. A playful picture of the president cavorting with a 3-year-old in a Spiderman costume is a favorite online. It´s all courtesy of the Obama image machine, serving up a stream of words, images and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding,compassionate and on the ball. In this world, Obama's family is always photogenic, first dog Bo is always well-behaved and the vegetables in the South Lawn kitchen garden always seem succulent.

The clock was about to strike 12 on one of the better Cinderella stories in NCAA tournament history.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.
