Absolutely correct.

They are so busy "shilling" for conservatives they have little time left for anything else.

IMO they are pumping the Hammer story not they really care about the guy but it gives them a platform to attack the administration.

Hey Now.......Fox is "fair and balanced."

I know that it's true because they say it all the time.

Though a guy from an old, big city, ethnic, union, Democrat neighborhood and from a family who thought FDR was superman, and I understand why, I consider myself a moderate. My father and uncles would not like my political views.

But, I can't watch Fox (can't call it Fox "news") and their talking heads, haven't in at least 6 years. What they do is so obvious.

It's now a commonly asked question during voir dire in my venue--and that speaks volumes.

Fox is good for looking at the Fox girls with the sound muted. Not good for much else.

They have the prettiest girls, IMHO.

Interesting how the rest of the media completely ignored the Benghazi story until it became so painfully obvious that it was a massive phuckup and coverup. Wouldn't want to upset the narrative right before an election would you?

If in fact Fox "broke" that item, broke probably not the right word but you get my drift, and not other(s) print or tv/radio media or in conjuction, that is 100% commendable and to their credit.

I don't remember how her BS started to unravel and who deserves the credit or why she got on the Sunday morning talkies and gave that drivel, but it knocked her out as a contender for Sec of State to take over from Mrs. Clinton.

I did see four State Dept big shots, all directly involved in security, resigned yesterday. The detailed story in yesterday's rags as to what they are saying actually happened in the assault was not nice to read.

When I started the thread, I had no desire for it to degrade into a political debate.

If you can find it in your heart to take two minutes to support a fellow countryman, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. That's the only point here.

Mexico politics are years away from being nearly developed they still beat confessions outof people as a rule of law aka "the third degree" I wouldn't step foot in that country not for girls ,money or palm trees and beaches ,there are so many murders and crimes and abductions that go un solved its practically encouraged . Stay away from that shit hole the surfing isn't really that good . I watch boarder patrol when they find traffickers with bundles of weed most of the time they let them go back and try again ,same with human smugglers . It's a farce . They are still are trying el conquista" taking back Texas and zona hat we stole during he Mexican American war ,I ask them on the web page if they want our stuff we put there or leave it a barren dessert like we found it ? They call me racists! But I'm Mexican ! Well not really but they don't know that .. Fk Mexico ,I love law abiding Mexicanos they are quality polite humble people .

I got arrested on the Isla de Cozumel as it was known then on Christmas morning, 1980 for a 1 car accident with my Hertz rent a car, even with all the insurance. phucked me around in custody trying to squeeze me for big, big $$$ for almost 24 hs. and back then I had certain US credentials that should have sprung me for that kind of a thing, please not bragging, but that was the situation. Now I am just a regular goof, or worse. But, it was Christmas day, 1980, on an Mexican island which then was still largely undeveloped (eg, limited telephones), and nobody to call. And they knew it and laughed at me. In fact, taunted me. I'll remember that laugh until I die. I was pooping in my pants and hoping i could keep my pants where they were.

The movie Midnight Express came out in '78 and it was/is powerful. If there are younger guys on the board who haven't watched it, rent it. Oliver Stone flick, 80% fact based on victim Billy Hayes's 1977 book/narration of what happened to him in Turkey. I remember i could not get that out of my mind sitting in that shit hole jail with two creeps.

Finally got the idea to offer them my AmEx card and they agreed. They went to Hertz and got the credit card imprinter machine as fast as they could, like pronto. Signed it with my name and had the brains to add "disputed and coerced". The capitan says what's that? I told him it was my full name, like they do with all their mothers stuff tacked on, like Maria Juanita Garcia Lopez Calderon. No problem, he was so happy, brought me coffee and a pastry. Let me out. Got my gringa, went directly to the airport, got the first flight out to anywhere, luckily it was to Miami so that proved to me there was a God. In pre-internet/fax 1980, Western Union telegrams were still the norm for emergency communications. Sent one from Miami to AmEx with the AmEx voucher # and all the relevant details with the "disputed and coerced" thing.

I never ever heard anything about it again, not from AmEx, not from Hertz, nada. Not one piece of mail, not one telephone call from either. And there was big $$$ damage to the new white VW convertible I had rented and sunk in what I thought was just a big puddle on a dirt road on the far side of the then desolate south tip of the island near the Celorain Lighthouse looking for Mayan ruins off of a $1 tourist map. Her goofy idea, I could have cared less about ancient ruins, I just wanted to keep getting laid. I looked at the approx place on google earth when that came on line and that area is all built up now. Back then it was the bush. Had to kick the windshield out to free us. Walked back 1/2 mile or so to the black top, some greengo's picked us up. Took her to the hospital Centro, I went to Hertz where I then got pinched. Still have my carbon copy of the credit card voucher for 20 zillion pesos framed and hung in my office.

That was it for me and Mexico where I would go 2-3x a year. Went to Colombia next vacation, in fact for a few days to Amazonas, and really, really didn't like the vibes there--was really happy when we got out of there, a dumb decision back then; a lot less anti-Gringo in Bogata and also Cartegena--mind you we're talking 1980-- but still kind of felt it; but normal on their island of San Andres which was really, really undeveloped then--I mean 5 shit hotels but in paradise. Now San Andres is a huge int'l tourist attraction. Nicaragua says it's always been theirs and if you look at the facts there is some merit to it other then Nica kind of slept on its claim--in the legal world they say "if you snooze you lose"--and they slept. But the World Court recently partially agreed and ruled that at least the maritime fishing zone was Nica. Colombia 5 years earlier said they would abide by the court's ruling. After the court ruled last month, Colombia said Phuck that court. I can foresee little wooden Nica warships firing cannons with Nica Presidente Daniel Ortega imitating Johnny Depp calling out the fire calls from broadsides, especially if his main man in Argentina, Hugo Chavez, survives. No way are they going to let a now gringo friendly country renege and walk on that deal.

I then started going to Belize, then Honduras, then Guat, and eventually and finally CR and then no where else. My car accident was a blessing in disguise. Phuck Mexico. Phuck Mexico.

I was told the following by the corporate travel department at my Fortune 50 employer in the late 70's prior to a business trip to Mexico.............

If I get into a car accident, however minor or major, immediately leave the scene of the accident if can walk or limp, whether I am bleeding or not.

Don't talk to anybody.

Take a fast taxi directly to the airport.

Get on THE NEXT PLANE that goes anywhere out of Mexico.

I had a word with my congresswoman, and he will be released today...
