Did you notice?
Just after we returned from break, we were able to take advantage of an opportunity to move back to our Sandy-damaged home. That necessitated suspending posts. Look for our return on Monday, the 20th. Thanks for your patience. Executive Director Mike

Benghazi still a disaster for the Obama administration (and, of course, for the families)
Today’s hearing on the Benghazi disaster offered little information to confirm who pushed the key buttons but it did establish that the probe is far from over. The dramatic testimony of
Try to find the connection to politics
It’s not hard when you think for a bit. Substitute a politician for the parent described below. And look for elected officials’ focus on winning at all costs, including insulting the opposition. Sad that they don’t realize that

We usually don’t dignify such comments but …
It’s been almost three weeks since a Minneapolis radio host made despicable comments about the Newtown, Connecticut families who lost loved ones in the senseless assault there five months ago. Twenty young children and six adults died in the massacre at their school. The remarks you will read
Thumbs up and down on MSNBC: Benghazi and Syria

Harsh criticism of the opposition: Yes when on one network, not so much on another
It’s simply not respectful of the truth and also is hypocritical, we believe. Slamming or supporting the administration when on a friendly network, or on a Sunday talk show but tempering the remarks when on a different one. Dialogue on the Sunday programs is generally more polite. There were more
