The 6 new things we learned today about Benghazi | The Cable

I, like many other Americans, watched (or in my case checked online) the congressional hearing today on exactly what happened the night of September 11, 2012 with a fair amount of interest. After keeping on eye on this hearing for a good chunk of the day, I found myself asking some serious questions that I shamefully didn't much think about before today..

Without getting too much in-depth into what we learned during the hearing today, this article from Foreign Policy magazine is probably one of the better "short" summaries of the headlines that arose during the congressional hearings today.

This is probably one of the more interesting political stories out of my home state as of late. One of those, "Only in Iowa" kind of situations..Give it a read!

Rand Paul's "Mr. Smith" Moment

Unless you've been hiding under a rock that last few days, you know that the biggest story in politics this week has been the nearly 13 hour filibuster by the junior senator of Kentucky, Rand Paul. The purpose of Senator Paul's filibuster was the issue of how the US government can and could use so-called "drone", including potentially using them against US citizens. While that issue is certainly an important one, not to mention terribly complicated, it's the aftermath of this filibuster that interests me more.

CNN Panel and Cop-killer Dorner: Idiocy Ensues!

First off, I need to get something out of the way when it comes to this Christopher Dorner business before I rip CNN a new one...

I'll be blunt: I couldn't give two rat asses about Christopher Dorner beyond the fact the man was a cop-killing murderer. I don't care about his "manifesto" (which I have no interest in ever reading), or his pathetic attempt to justify his actions. I don't care about his sob-story about how he was unjustly fired from the LAPD or any of that crap. Here is all I care about or need to know: he was a murderer and an absolutely pathetic excuse for a human being. That fact he has some opinions about politics or anything else is completely mute because he is a criminal and as far as I'm concerned, criminals have no right to an opinion that anyone should give a crap about.

Sadly, back in Iowa we have a lot of these hypocritical and worthless pieces of crap too. The only comfort I take from stories like this is someday they are going to have to explain this hateful and unchristian behavior to a, lets say "higher power"... and boy are they in for a SHOCK.
