Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Charlene Lamb had the worst three minutes of Congressional testimony since the Watergate scandal at Wednesday’s House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearings on the Benghazi attack.
Committee Chairman Darrel Issa (R-CA) was incredulous as she claimed “we had the correct number of assets in Benghazi at the time of 9-11.” American Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed on that day in Benghazi in an organized attack by Islamists
What?!? What did it say?
No. Excuse me, bitch – but the correct number would have been whatever it took to leave the streets slick with Al-Q guts – without interruption to embassy activity. That number would have been considerably larger than your number – which was 0(Zero).
» Libya security cut while Vienna embassy gained Chevy Volts
In a May 3, 2012, email, the State Department denied a request by a group of Special Forces assigned to protect the U.S. embassy in Libya to continue their use of a DC- 3 airplane for security operations throughout the country.
….
Four days later, on May 7, the State Department authorized the U.S. embassy in Vienna to purchase a $108,000 electric vehicle charging station for the embassy motor pool’s new Chevrolet Volts. The purchase was a part of the State Department’s “Energy Efficiency Sweep of Europe” initiative, which included hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on green program expenditures at various U.S. Embassies.
I.E., if the Libyan Embassy had requested electric-powered, lead-free, sugar-free planes built exclusively by gay, illegal alien union labor and proclaimed halal ….
And then, this story fits right into the narrative of how this president fails miserably in the performance of one of his few constitutional duties – National Defense.

While gleaning links from BigFurHat, another precious jewel; this one from The Boortz:
» War Against Individualism
This is something that Biden said in 2008:
“For too long in this society we have celebrated
unrestrained individualism over the common community.”
….
this “common community” phrase is the core idea behind the word “communism.”
Now … since I have now presented you with a quote from Joe Biden, let’s try a few more quotes. See if you can figure out who uttered these lovely phrases
….
Quote 1. “We must abolish the cult of the individual decisively, once and for all.”
Quote 2. “We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what’s best for society.”
I didn’t buy into the idea last week that the Labor Department “cooked the books” on the September jobs report ….
But, today, I admit, I’m starting to wonder. This morning the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that initial claims for unemployment benefits, i.e. jobless claims, fell a staggering 30k to 339k for the week. It’s the lowest level of claims since January 2008! Analysts had expected the number to remain essentially unchanged at around 370k, where it’s been pretty much for more than a year.
The media, of course, swooned at the news. NPR bellowed the report through my car speakers this morning and I swear I could hear high-fiving in the background of their studio. You would think we’d posted double-digit growth in GDP for the way the media greeted the news. The long-stalled economic recovery had appeared on the horizon at preciously the moment Obama needed it to.Except, um, it turns out that number wasn’t right. They forgot to include CALIFORNIA, the most populous and economically depressed state in the country. A source at the Labor Department brushed aside the omission by saying that, sometimes, if a state office is under-manned they don’t complete all the jobless claims in time to report them to BLS.
In other words, the dog ate their homework.
What we don’t know, yet, is whether the California omission was an innocent oversight or was it done on purpose. I did say ‘yet’.
We will know and shortly.
We won’t learn it from the media – the dhimmicrat party press. We will be informed by the new media.
» Got Racism?
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews says the word “apartment” is racist because black people live in apartments. He also says the word “Chicago” is racist because — despite its well-known reputation as the home of Al Capone and the Daley machine — a lot of black people live there, too. (And don’t get him started on “Chicago apartments”!)
As we go to press, Matthews is working on an exciting new hypothesis that peanut butter is racist.

» Dove Dinner Lands Texas Man In Hot Water With Law
A Texas man is in hot water with the law after cooking and eating a dove that had flown against the side of his home, broke its neck and died.
“It is illegal to possess any wildlife resource that has not been taken legally …. By legal I mean there are certain means and method …. you have to have a hunting license and you have to have the appropriate weapon and ammunition.”
The only way he could have eaten the bird without running afoul of bureaucrat tyrants was to have first gotten permission from the government to kill it (hunting license), using a government-approved tool. And then only during a certain time of year and time of day. It is probable that this man’s home is inside some government-drawn boundary that forbids discharge of firearms so there’s probably no way at all he could have touched, much less eaten a bird that offed itself against the side of his house.
We marinate in ridiculous.
Pray that nobody ever tosses a cheeseburger against the side of your house ….
Stop! Citizen! Do you have a license to carry a concealed house?
From the comments:
* I found a dead bureaucrat on my porch. Is it okay if I
eat him? It would be the first time he’s ever been put to good use.
* See libtards? See why your betters hate Big Government?

» Liberals Claim Romney Will Ban Tampons
After all, it is written in the Leftist Field Manual : Never let pass an opportunity to beclown yourself.
Nothing has affected this nation more deeply than the “sue everyone” mentality that is rapidly turning virtually any interaction between two human beings into a potentially litigious event. Add the reams of rules and regulations enacted by government at every level to the mix — so much so that the law not only becomes unknown, but unknowable — and the trajectory is clear: we are litigating and regulating our way into a totalitarian strait-jacket.
So what are we going to do about it ?
The solution? It begins with tort reform ….
Oh well – yea, there’s that, the legal and civilized solution. I was gonna say hunt down and stomp the living crap out of all lawyers
