What?s getting missed in the re-litgation of the Benghazi ?sideshow? talking points is the fact that this happened during the final months of the 2012 election. The New York Times, back in September 2012, published this timeline on who said what, when. Granted, nobody really knew the truth at the time, but it?s informative to take a look at it once again, now that we do know what actually happened.
For example, here?s Hillary Clinton at 10:08 p.m. on Tuesday. This statement is after our ... Quick Read |

It?s gotten to the point where I?m amazed when SNL is actually funny or relevant as political satire, but Saturday?s cold open wasn?t just a dud as a joke, but completely offensive to the four Americans who lost their lives in Benghazi. To sum it up, it?s a mock hearing on what happened in Libya with an attempt to make some sort of commentary on the media. Bonus: SNL not only offends on Benghazi, but adds in the horror of the three kidnapped women in Cleveland.
It? so unfunny and so offensive, ... Quick Read |

Looks like the techies behind the ?Facebook phone? based on the Android platform were iPhone users and didn?t design their product to meet the needs of actual Android phone users.

Facebook didn?t realize just how important widgets, docks, and app folders were to Android users, and that leaving them out of Home was a huge ... Quick Read |

Variety:
Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) on Thursday unveiled legislation that would upend the cable and satellite business, forcing them to let customers pick-and-choose which channels they would like to get rather than take programming in bundles.
?The video industry, principally cable companies and satellite companies and the programmers that sell channels, like NBC and Disney-ABC, continue to give consumers two options when buying TV programming: First, to purchase a package of channels ... Quick Read |

CNN?s Carol Costello writes on Facebook:
Good Morning. In retrospect, what happened to me yesterday is insignificant in light of what happened in the Boston.
Still, I feel the need to vent. And isn?t that what friends are for?
I was robbed.
And I am angry.
I was walking down a beautiful, leafy Atlanta street, talking on my IPhone.
Guess what happened next?
Three teenagers ran up behind me. One of them grabbed my IPhone. Stupidly I struggled to hold on-to it. But, he was a big guy. And he ... Quick Read |

In case you missed it, Meghan McCain wasn?t happy with Mark Sanford?s win in South Carolina last night and she expressed this displeasure on her Twitter feed.

Get the popcorn. After getting criticized by the New York Times for endorsing stop-question-and-frisk police tactics, Mayor Bloomberg ripped the Times?s for its lack of coverage of black crime victims in New York City. Via New York Magazine:
?Last week Bronx resident Alphonza Bryant was shot and killed while standing with friends near his home. He was 17. Like most murder victims in our city, he was a minority ?. Alphonza was a person ? he had a loving mother, family, friends. It does not ... Quick Read |
