Bengahzi Mongers

Bill O’Reilly has a Benghazi sad.
Since I'm a helper I'm going to send Mr O’Reilly over to this handy little site from the House Republicans website. That's right folks!
This is what our House majority is up to::
Doofus, a scandal-monger? At this point, it is the entire Republican party. The President was correct when he said this: If one doesn't want to be called a doofus a scandal-monger, don't be a doofus scandal monger.
and 
Raine
“I know — and you probably know, too — that these issues aren’t important to Jon Stewart, or even to the president,” O’Reilly said on Wednesday. “They don’t see them as vital, because they don’t pertain to social justice, or global warming. So, if I ask about those issues, I’m a doofus, a scandal-monger.”
Since I'm a helper I'm going to send Mr O’Reilly over to this handy little site from the House Republicans website. That's right folks!
Working in concert, the five committees investigating the attack have produced a 43-page interim report outlining what has been learned and what information we continue to seek on behalf of the American people and the families of the victims. You can read that full report here:
Read the House Committees’ Interim Report on Benghazi Investigation
This is what our House majority is up to::
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) announced the creation Wednesday of a new page on the Republican Party Web site on which the party plans to publish information and documents related to the attacks of Sept. 11 and 12, 2012, on two U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya, as House Republicans continue to accuse President Obama of stonewalling their attempts to investigate the attack further. (snip)
However, the report did not find any evidence of a political cover-up orchestrated by the Obama administration that has long been alleged by Republicans. Still, Republicans insist that the administration has withheld reports and details vital to understanding what happened leading up to the attacks and who was to blame for them not being prevented.
Doofus, a scandal-monger? At this point, it is the entire Republican party. The President was correct when he said this:
"Your detractors believe that you did not tell the world it was a terror attack because your campaign didn’t want that out," O’Reilly said. "That's what they believe."
"And they believe it because folks like you are telling them that," Obama shot back.
After some intense questioning about last year's revelation that the IRS targeted certain groups, including conservative groups, for extra scrutiny, Obama took another jab at Fox News.
"These kinds of things keep on surfacing in part because you and your TV station will promote them," he said.

I was getting some dinner last night and the place had ESPN on one of the TVs. KO was doing a report about the Sochi problems. Since they had the closed captioning going, I was reading that while trying to look at at the snark-tastitic facial expressions KO was making. He catch phrase for the story is "Put it in the bin!"

Good morning, bloggers!!
I hope that everyone is well. I am going to try to convince my brother that I should get rid of the old car, if indeed it looks not worth repairing, soon. (For reasons that he fails to explain, he wants me to wait till I get my taxes back. I haven't filed yet and don't see the point in paying auto insurance on a non running vehicle.)
As I was busy shoveling most of the day yesterday, I did not get to the blog until late. So, here is something for Mondo from yesterday's blog -- an unusual appearance in a literary work by William S. Burroughs as a character.
Mondo, you may want to check out Move Under Ground, a horror novel mash up by Nick Mamatas. (Spoilers in the Wikipedia article, of course.) It features William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsburg, Neal Cassady, Cthulhu and Azathoth. You can download the novel free (with the author's permission) here.

Guys, I have some sad news to tell you. BobR and I put Kizzie to sleep this morning. She had been deteriorating rapidly over the past few months and we just felt like it was time for her to go to the rainbow bridge.
For those that met her, you know she was an incredibly sweet and gentle soul. Our lives are so much better for having her in it. We had about 5 years of wonderful times with her.
RIP my Kizzie girl, See you someday on the other side.

May Kizzie's memory be for a blessing. She was loved and gave much love in return. May she be in peace, past all suffering, and await the two people who gave her such love and support in the past five years. It is hard to say goodbye to a pet who is suffering, but you and BobR did the right thing.

Holly had that problem. Her mind and spirit were strong, but she could not stand at times without help. I even used a towel to support her while walking. It was her time and she went to the vet's office unafraid -- and she hated the vet's office.
You had five wonderful years with Kizzie. I think she understood it was her time.

I have nothing but good memories of Kizzie. She was a great dog, very sweet. Even in the midst of Vomapalooza 08, I couldn't be angry; The Future Ex and I just had to laugh about it. Our thoughts are with y'all and Brewser.

Kizzie just looked relieved. I will never ever for the life of me know how she got that entire bowl of cookies without ever moving the bowl.
and I blamed Bob's Brother for eating all the cookies.
