Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Where's The Outrage? It's Only On Faux News


John Boehner's called for still another hearing about Benghazi and Roger Ailes is still commanding his Fox-bots to talk about it ad nauseum.  It's time for some Jon Stewart when we need him the most:

"I think I see the problem.  You [Fox News] think people's failure to match your level of outrage is based on ignorance; that after hundreds of network and cable news stories, 13 congressional hearings, more than 50 additional congressional briefings, and over 25,000 pages of official findings [regarding Benghazi], that if we all only knew about it, we would care.  There are very few things we've heard more about!"

Stewart ends like so:

"Four people are dead and it was a tragedy, but the reason we don't seem to care is that everyone in America has seen this movie before, and it was [called the Iraq War]."

Two videos from The Daily Show, about 8 minutes total.
