Fox News was all over the Benghazi hearing this morning. Presumably the other networks either barely mentioned it or ignored it altogether.
USA Today buried the story on Page 4. I read the story, which takes great pains to ignore many of the key points of the day. When it does report on the testimony, the writer prefers to paraphrase rather than quote. Then the writer offsets every watered-down paraphrase with a direct quote from whichever government representative seeking to refute the testimony. The net message conveyed by the USA Today writer is a Republican-inspired purely political theatrical production that doesn't even deserve anyone's attention.
If you share the USA Today's attitude, all I ask is that you find the video or even key excerpts and watch. Then tell me you don't come away with a completely different attitude about the Benghazi massacre.
Stopped for gas on the way in today, and the gas station/convenience store was very busy. So I noticed, perhaps not exactly for the first time, who was driving the hottest cars. If I may keep the same adjective, what was apparent was that in all cases, the hottest cars were being driven by the hottest women.
After a half-century of noticing that the best looking cars seem nearly always to be driven by the best looking women, may I now proceed to make the suggestion that there's a linkage? Is it reasonable to suggest the pattern comes from the most attractive women who attach themselves to the most successful men who have sufficient wealth to provide them with an upper-class lifestyle, which includes the hottest and most expensive automobiles?
I think it's safe to make those connections based on empirical data without being labeled sexist.
