    Fox's website has been awesome this week. A Benghazi headline has been featured every day this week.

    Benghazi? "What difference does it make"? "That was a long time ago".

    It's hilarious. Piano player who keeps his TV set to FOX or the NBA (huh?) starts to bring up Benghazi at every other rehearsal. Finally told him no one gave a shit, had their chance in November, blew it with binders and bigotry, so please STFU and be a good host for once. Played a trio gig with him on Election Night at a restaurant that seemingly had every TV tuned to FOX. right after the break, I started playing the melody to The Battle Hymn Of The Republic and the drummer just about blew snot all over his kit. We didn't play there again, but the restaurant closed last month, so it's all good.

    I am watching CNN, they want to know why we are only learning about the Al Q connection now. LOL! Actually I shouldn't laugh because it is all so sad.

    I'm not clicking on that because I just spent a few minutes at orlytaitz.com and have thus been exposed to near-toxic levels of idiocy already, but this would be the same Oliver North who was convicted in the Iran Contra cover up, right? That being the case, did they ask him what the administration did right or wrong?

    And they're better at it than Private Organizations, like American Crossroads.

    "Germany now is unified and a free nation, but the press is basically liberal."

    Why do these words out of O'Reillys mouth sound more like "but the press is profoundly stupid in asking "used to be shared values" and therefore inconvenient questions."

    Then later on that he said "dopey" reporter's question is "absurd". "When her family gets blown up by djihadists, believe me her attitude would be different."

    No, Mr O'Reily I can assure it wouldnt. Cause she isnt a reactionary vollspast.

    Why the hell do you give a wet fart what O'Reilly thinks? I sure as hell couldn't even name one German political commentator, let alone care what they have to say.

    Maybe you cant cause there's no MSNBC or FOX News in Germany. We like to have our news "real". A lesson of history, you know....

    Second why do I care? You're right about this guy but he as others are responsible that I as several other fellow citizens then have to come to grips with some American tourists and explain to them the difference between socialism and communism and that Germany's(and Europe's) economy is based on neither of both. That's why.

    If Republicans knew enough about the world to understand the distinctions that you just made, they would no longer be Republicans.

    A bit of a generalization, to be true. I know one hard-core GOPer who reads Le Monde. But largely true.

    If you were smart, when American tourists came up to you, you'd just pertend not to know English.

    All Germans know English. That ruse works for the French or Italians, though.
