Sigh…

Perhaps part of the public’s fascination with stories of devastation isn’t detached & heartless schadenfreude at all.

It is, afterall, one of the few times that we ever see normal people acting decently to each other in the media.

Perhaps a less sordid narrative is in fact what we’re after when we eagerly tune in to stories of other peoples’ troubles. We want to look for the helpers, just like Mr. Roger’s mother said we should.

IF this account is factual then there is one FBI agent and two Mass State Troopers who need to be relieved of their badges and benched.

Shooting to kill an important source of information when confronted with minor injuries from a knife? Incompetent. Clearly not able to perform their duties. The End.

Republican’s obsession with bringing up Benghazi seems really kinky. It’s like the idea turns them on so much they can’t focus on anything else.

Like the fact that Lois Lerner is a Bush appointee for starters…

Dirty old perverts squirting in their pants about dead Americans every time there is an unrelated scandal. Ewwww!
