If you're tuning in late here's the scoop

Romney and the GOP have wet their collective panties over controlling the news cycle with tales about Libya. Yet no one really cares. Too many issues at home.

thank you for stopping by. Nothing much here. Head over to The Flame Zone. Lots of fun there.

Oh Libya is gold, Pure gold. Nothing was going to be an Arab Spring. And none of this was for democracy.

Now do you want me to school you? Well let us take a chance on this. But grab your extra strength Imodium AD and rum out for pampers.

Let me know when you're ready to take it.

The father of Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya who was killed in the attack in Benghazi last month, said his son’s death shouldn’t be politicized in the presidential campaign.

“It would really be abhorrent to make this into a campaign issue,” Jan Stevens, 77, said in a telephone interview from his home in Loomis, California, as he prepares for a memorial service for his son next week.

Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee, has criticized President Barack Obama for not providing adequate security in Libya, saying the administration has left the country exposed to a deadly terrorist attack.

The ambassador’s father, a lawyer, said politicians should await the findings of a formal investigation before making accusations or judgments.

“The security matters are being adequately investigated,” Stevens said. “We don’t pretend to be experts in security. It has to be objectively examined. That’s where it belongs. It does not belong in the campaign arena.” Stevens said he has been getting briefings from the State Department on the progress of the investigation.
