Well, I like my steak well done, and anyone who cooks their steak any less than that is obviously a bloodthirsty savage.

Well, I read the first review on Amazon, and how could I resist? I'm now a committed sauna pants wearer. See if you don't become one after reading this excellent review:

Like a lot of guys, I sometimes have trouble getting a good crotch sweat going. Wrapping my nethers in plastic wrap and a dozen freshly baked Hot Pockets only goes so far. So, as soon as I saw this magnificent product I knew I must have it. The friendly orange hue and easy-to-use velcro attachments greatly appealed to me, and I was very pleased to see the roomy 54" waistline!

The first time I tried it I was simply amazed. I had never been so relaxed as I felt my own musky brine soak into every hairy crevice and all the pores on my considerable backside opened up. I fell into a deep meditative trance as my ears were soothed by the gentle sprinkle of ball sweat rolling down my glistening hammy thighs and dropping into a small tepid puddle on the floor. I sat there luxuriating in the cozy warmth of my nethers, slowly saturating my living room couch, and came to only when the depth of my relaxation allowed a small burst of flatulence to rise up and out of the Sauna Pants in a series of hot humid bubbles that tickled my lobster-red skin as they rolled out.

Now on freezing mornings the first thing I do after heaving myself out of bed is slip on my splendid Sauna Pants! Everyone else at the bus stop may be shivering but with my Sauna Pants tightly secured beneath my Utilikilt like a giant orange diaper, I know no fear of cold. When the bus arrives, my sweat-lubed legs slide effortlessly against each other as I waddle for the door. The pungent aroma that arises reminds me of my own healthful vitality. Through either jealousy or appreciation, I am always left with my own seat.

Now sources are saying that, despite initial claims by the Obama administration, there weren’t any “spontaneous” protests outside of the US embassy in Benghazi. In other words, there was no outcry over a movie, as the administration would like you to believe. It means that the attack and subsequent killing of four Americans, including the US ambassador, was planned in advance and the whole anti-Islamic movie bit was a excuse, not a reason.

So basically it went like this, from what I'm reading and hearing -

Terrorists: "Ok guys, the plan for 9/11: Storm the embassies, kill the ambassadors! We're all Osama, Obama! We're all Osama, Obama!"

Obama: "Oh no! You guys must be mad about this youtube video nobody's ever heard of or watched!"

Entire Arab World: "What video?" (click). "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

We chose not to legislate against flag burning.

We chose to legislate that all American flags include a lethal dose of HCN when burned.

So this happened:

The militia suspected of killing the US ambassador to Libya nearly two weeks ago has been driven out of its base in the eastern city of Benghazi.
Police and protesters stormed the HQ of the Islamist group Ansar al-Sharia during a day of demonstrations against the power of militant groups.

Witnesses say supporters of Ansar al-Sharia gathered outside its Benghazi headquarters, in front of the crowd, waving black and white banners.
They fired into the air to try to disperse the protesters, but fled with their weapons after the base was surrounded by waves of people shouting "No to militias".

Buildings and a car were set alight and fighters evicted.

Jay Carney ripped a new one by Trey Gowdy. To summarize, I was correct before - nobody'd ever heard of this video before the Obama administration started talking about it on TV every chance they got. There wasn't ever actually a "protest" in Benghazi, it was an attack from the onset, orchestrated and premeditated, with heavy weapons and "warning signs" found in advance. Lies upon lies upon lies.

The point is that under the President's watch, militant islamist terrorists attacked a US embassy and killed the staff in it on the anniversary of 9/11 and he and his underlings lied their pants off both on national TV and before congressional committee, and finger-pointed at a video nobody had ever heard of (but once they did, it sparked even more riots) to cover their own incompetence until they got caught out in it.

At least nobody died when watergate hotel was broken into.

Why is it that the one thing American security always seems to lack is foresight? We have the best tools in the world to prevent just about anything, but shit keeps happening because no one is willing to pay for vigilance. This isn't a Red or Blue issue... it's a full-on ignorance and arrogance issue and EVERY AMERICAN PRESIDENT/CONGRESS IS GUILTY OF IT.

Or you know, there was a protest next door on the same day...

The fact that they were chanting "We're all Osama, Obama" as they did so, days after the Democrat Party national convention repeatedly crowed how Obama killed Osama, has some people thinking the video is a red herring for that, as well.[DOUBLEPOST=1349990003][/DOUBLEPOST]

Pay for it? This, despite what state department CYA is claiming, is not a case of underfunding. A 10% budget cut (and remember, in washington a cut just means a smaller increase than they want) does not mean an embassy that had repeatedly requested increased security in the face of hints of an upcoming attack only gets 3 security personnel.

We already got the October Surprise... it just happened in September. The 47% remark is going to gaunt Romney till the election unless he can keep killing it in the debates. Obama really only needs to give his A-game during the final debate to energize his base.

Once again, with the whole "enough fissile material for 5 bombs" thing. It's nonsense. Any actual nuclear engineer will tell you that. Completely ridiculous. On par with saying the Atlantic Ocean has enough water to make a lot of beer: technically true, not a plausible reality. They either need to enrich that uranium another 70-odd percent, in which case they can make high-yield bombs, which they're incapable of doing, or they have enough for about 1/5th of a bomb at the current quality - a low-yield, high-radiation bomb that they couldn't actualyl use anywhere interesting.
Saying Iran "has enough fissile material to make five bombs" is just as ridiculous as saying Obama is a Jew.

@Li3n

I always found it funny that North Korea actually misfired a nuke shortly after Iraq got invaded because "they totally had WMD's you guys" and all they got was some food aid, and yet people still buy this "we can't let nation X get nukes" crap...

That's because every other network is in the tank for Obama. If you're going to spout banalities, so can I.

I think you overstate that. A lot of us think what has riled the left up so much about that mark is how close to home it hit. It's true that at least 47% of this country is petrified at the thought of having to take personal responsibility for their own life and choices.

I love how Laura Ingram goes on and on about bringing our troops home from a pointless war.... while she supports a candidate who's pretty openly saying he wants to go to war again with multiple countries.

Laura Frickin' Ingraham. The only person more irritating on the radio is the lady they call in when Ingraham takes a day off. (google google google) Her name is Tammy Bruce, and she sounds like a screeching Helen Lovejoy engaging in tribadism with an actual harpy.

Oh so "people that don't pay income tax" doesn't include those groups of people that don't pay income tax...

The 47% remark is BS the same way that saying all white people like polka...
