      It’s been a tight race. But it’s not a sprint… it’s a marathon. And like in any marathon – I’m picking the guy from Kenya.

        For those of you who have been closely following the race on Twitter, who are you most looking forward to unfollowing? Today I unfollowed everyone from Buzzfeed and Politico and it really felt nice. So glad to have that over with.

            I still like McKay Coppins. Not sure about the others at Buzzfeed. Couldn't drop the Politico guys soon enough -- it not until I told Alex Burns that I thought his crew had damaged their brand by being so predictably left-leaning.

                      I don't want the director of the CIA unable to cover up his own affair.

                            Not a tweet - but it is political and might be outrageous...

                            The best theory that I've heard about Benghazi so far - the big story the Obama Administration is trying to cover up is that they were conducting interrogations at the Consular Annex - the kind that we officially now find abhorrent and no longer conduct - that had to be 'cleaned up' before we allowed anyone - our regular military, special forces, super-secret special forces, etc - anywhere near the Annex.

                            That would explain a lot, including why the Director of the CIA would be offering cover on the story.

                            I guess blackmail would explain the DCIA's behavior as well...

                            It would also explain the existence of a fairly large consular presence in a place where it makes no real sense to have one.

                            sounds like the storyline for Call of Duty: Black Ops III...

                                Not a tweet, but a FB meme. It's supposedly related to a Mother Jones article about Repubs drumming up too much hype over the attack in Libya, but I didn't see it right off hand and didn't look too much. I hadn't seen an attack on our consulate, killing Americans referred to as a "made-up scandal" until now.

                                I have nothing else to say at this time.
