$330 million! Chump change. Hasn't the presidents wife spent almost that on vacations these past four years? And terrorists'! How inane to accuse them of doing their job? Are you totally unaware that terrorism is their primary function? Safely here at home and snug as a bug in a bears butt, it's easy to make such an observation. Putting your kahunas on the line without the backing of your government is another thing entirely. Oh Yes! The BSA thing was only to get your undivided attention.

With everything that has been said, thank goodness I've never accused this administration of conspiracy. While it still smells of a coverup, we won't know all the facts until these hearings are over and possibly not even then. Perhaps there was no malfeasance, only a comedy of errors by the entire cabinet?

Were you ever in the Boy Scouts?

Then you must surely know, there is no fence; only a rather broad line of ignorance dividing stupidity from stupidity.

Unfortunately we will never know exactly what transpired that the outcome ended as it did. And yes, it's a sad day for the workers. Company officials and union organizers will simply go somewhere else and repeat the debacle. I'm not vindictive, pro or con; but somewhere in this life, greed vs greed must be eradicated, but how?

Beg your pardon?

Of course you know I was only seeking a bit of frivolous humor, right? But the closing of Hostess.is a very serious matter we all should consider. I don't know the exact income of those workers, but was it worth the pain they will now suffer during the holidays, because union reps demanded more than the company could afford? While these 18,000+ people will be in unemployment lines, those responsible for their folly will still be employeed and at some other location making the same demands on other companies. My Dad, Grandfather and I all fought for unions, fair employment and employee rights, not riches. Is this what equality and protection is coming to? Look at this video. it may say exactly what I have tried to explain.

Amen Brother! Get us hick kids turned on to a good food while in our forties or fifties and its worse than dope of any kind.

Been wondering about your problem. Seems you understand cursive quite well, but can't rationalize the printed word. Did you get up on the "right side" of the bed for a change, or are you always this nasty? Nostradamus wrote in quatrain, yet people of character and wisdom, not necessarily intellect; understood him. While I am no Nostradamus, where does that leave you? See if you might find some meaning in the following: Into this life we are let First only asking, then to our fame Oh! So quickly do we leave Taking not, but as we came. I actually tried being succinct once with my wife and she slapped hell out of me. What I'm saying is, never tell a woman that a size 10 would fit her ass much better than a size 8. Actually, I've never known a "ginch" not to feel that way.

Well, if it's that far over your head or below your station, then please dont try. But a blathering rant? C'mon! What part of "world stability" do you not understand, or aspire to? Isn't this the modern day philosophy of equal opportunity and equal sharing that we are seeking so hard to attain? By the way, I deliberately left out politicians; for good reasons.

I'm posting this in politics rather than immediately putting it in the trash basket. A day or so ago it was announced that my favorite 2 condiments would no longer be produced. "HO-HOs and TWINKIES"!!! Oh Yes! Both are CONDIMENTS; I eat them with everything. But, My God, am I dreaming? A stupid little disagreement over union wages and Hostess closes its doors to 16-18 thousand workers? What the hell is going on? Who does Hostess think they are to deprive hard working Americans of their livelihood and others not employeed by Hostess? How many will there be involved? Then I ask myself, just how many people out there are guilty of believing unions provide such protection? Let me see now: There's K-12 Teachers, Auto Workers, Construction Workers, Cops, Firemen, Electricians, Welders, Plumbers and??? I'm sure that I've left someone out, but who? I know; Non-Union Workers. But then, they really don't count since they can't afford to get in a union. Anyway Hostess will likely not remain closed for any duration. A modern day Carnagie, Vanderbilt or Ford, who today are considered "Entrepreneurs", will let things settle a months or so, get into the cash box and re-open the doors to new hires. Oh! If you by chance worked there at the closing, perhaps your old job is still available, providing you take a hefty reduction in pay. I've got it!! Let's reduce working hours to 24 per week, put everyone back to work doing something with no pay. That way everyone gets the same respect regardless of their position. Hey! you want to talk about equality? Ok! now I know who I forgot, Carpenters, Cement Mixers and Brick Layers. Everyone in the deal gets a new home with a 2 car garage. So, from here forward, when a business closes for lack of funds; we keep everyone on the job at no pay. Of course, since a business must be kept aware of its progress, the "former owners" can be retained as mathematical consultants and controllers, but with no pay. Eventually everyone will have no money problems since there will be no cash flow in any direction. Might this be the beginning of a real Utopia? Anyway, I hate classifying people as Wealthy, Middle Class, Poor and/or Destitute.

Dude! My initial questions of this post on Oct.3 began with:Who murdered our Ambassador in Benghazi, Libya? I know he is dead along with 3 of his comrades, but why? It has been a month now and Obama's cabinet has said nothing that rings of truth. Or are the Republicans still just grasping at straws to hurt this administration during the coming election campaign? i'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion on the issue. Today is11/16/12 so tell me, just what part of that inquiry do you still not understand?

Afraid I can't satisfy your curiousity at the moment iNow since the goal post keep moving and the water is still very muddy. Thought I had a handle on the situation, but now I'm becoming as confused as you. Let's wait a few days to see how these inquiries proceed and maybe we can discuss it more. But the fact that four Americans have been murdered and there seems to be no clear understanding as to why, you and I both know something as such is considered a major debacle and usually referred to as, SNAFU.

Wish I had your style Guy. Unfortunately the old gray matter doesn't function as it once did. But something as serious as this Benghazi SNAFU has to be continuously keel hauled until all of the barnacles are scraped away. And regardless of the party in office, my concerns would be exactly the same.

I do understand that coming from an uneducated Hill Billy, my remarks as you interpret them do not warrent semantics. But navigator laid out a pretty good framework as to why the whole schlemiel should continue to be investigated. No one really knows for sure at this time other than those involved? But any blame game prodders or coverup participants caught lying, shoud be held accountable; regardless.

Other than the four men dying in Benghazi, Petraeus is the only concern now. And regardless of if being FOX, Sen. Feinstein ot cabinet personnel who are lying, to lose such a vast amount of military savvy over a little piece of tail is total B.S. Dad always told me: "Son, the more you stir sh-t the worse it stinks, no matter who did it".

When I first asked, it was only a question? I suppose that me not caring for Obama's political views gave some of you reason to doubt my sincerity, but it had nothing to do with Obama personally. Then, after all of the see-sawing back and forth as to who was telling the truth from administration officials and none seeming to be match, yes; I became very suspicious. And then since the forum seemed so disinterested, I thought the question should be asked. As much as I dislike our presidents politics, I wish this sh-t sandwich was easier to swallow.

Holy Crap! You mean to tell me it's older than that? And myself, I thought it was only 5,700 or maybe 5.800 hundred years old. "Just shows to go ya'".

Tell you what! Let's close this rag as of today since I am unable to a-- kiss in regard to your inquiries. I could play along with a Yea Massa, No Massa compliance, but since many of us hasn't your intellect, let's close this post. Agreed? Don't play games Moon. You don't live in the deep south, but in a refined and intellectual neighborhood of Wilmington, N.C. Perhaps even the Outer Banks? A lad from W.V. with your intelligence and rock star quality shouldn't take on airs of such deportment. Be a little more humble and congenial my friend.

Moon, if things are that bad, I suggest rigney be kicked off in toto!

And you a college, (university?) graduate? Thank goodness my formal education ended with High School! But hang on, you will eventually get over your extemporized eloquence.

Honestly, did you actually read what you wrote before posting it?

How easy to take a thing out of context giving it a different meaning. You mention a statistical percentage of unfortunate people who somehow seem being denied an invitation into that well heeled supposed 1%. Well, let me tell you; I also fall into that 47% catagory, but rest assured, I am not an angry white, black, asian or any other group of bitter people. I'm an 80 year old and happily work at McDonalds 3 days a week.(evnings) By the grace of Allah and a frugal enterprising hillbilly wife, our home is mortgage free and between the two of us, have enough income to stay afloat. Believe me, I am blessed. Now! Can we please get back on the topic of who killed our ambassador to Libya.

Maybe it's because I like Alan Jacksons music!?
