The buck stops THERE… Hillary takes blame for Benghazi. “‘I take responsibility’ for what happened on September 11, Clinton said in an interview with CNN’s Elise Labott soon after arriving in Lima, Peru, for a visit.” She’s in Peru and the debate is tomorrow night. The empty chair now can “answer” any questions about the disaster. How convenient. (Video at the link.)

Chinese Motors: GM’s own chairman says 7 out of every 10 cars his company builds these days comes off a foreign assembly line. Bin Laden’s dead, GM is alive, neither of them are in the US.

Swing States poll: Women push Romney into lead. It appears that perhaps abortion isn’t the big item the Democrats think it is.

Former NY Times columnist: “The Tea Party will win in the end.” “This is a nation that loathes government and always has. Liberals should not be deluded: The Goldwater revolution will ultimately triumph, regardless of what happens in November.” But Frank Rich is not happy about it: “Conservatives are the cockroaches of the American body politic.” That famous lefty “tolerance” comes shining through, as always. Right back at ya, Frankie.

Florida passes plan for racially-based academic goals. “The Florida State Board of Ed’s plan that says that by 2018, it wants 90 percent of Asian students, 88 percent of white students, 81 percent of Hispanics and 74 percent of black students to be reading at or above grade level.” Well, Jamal Chen-Martinez-Kowalski will be glad to hear that… we think.

Harry’s Reid’s Senate is dysfunctional, says … Tom Daschle. “If we’re the standard by which other Democracies and republics judge themselves, we’ve lowered the bar, it’s vital for us to do a better job than we’re doing today, and that must begin, as much as anywhere, in the Senate.” Harry Reid can’t find the time to pass a budget but has plenty of time to bray about other people’s tax returns.

The TSA Molestation Files: Dana Loesch. This outrage occurred yesterday. And it looks like, once again, Upton Sinclair was wrong. Fascism wasn’t wrapped in flag. Nor was it carrying a cross. It was administered by a low achieving, low level federal bureaucrat with a tin plated badge and gold plated inferiority complex.

Biden’s Kennedy Crack Was Hot Debate Moment? Leave it to the Lame Streams to try and sell that steaming pile of Biden. The only people impressed with the Veep’s tired, predictable and curmudgeonly ‘crack’ were either smoking or kissing something that goes by the same name.

US ambassador: Internet fee proposal gaining momentum: Don’t worry, this new Internet fee will be put to really good use. Like -given a long enough timeline- founding and funding the enforcement agency responsible for punishing those attempting to exercise their free speech rights through the medium.

‘Operation Dot Com’: Sting Reveals Drug Dealers Openly Advertising on Craigslist: Good news for Eric Holder. He can find them that much easier next time he wants to use tax payer dollars to give them some guns.

Russ Roberts: Why Keynesians Always Get it Wrong (and Most Economists Too): We’ll tell you why they get it wrong. Because they believe in policies that rob the value of our dollars, our wages, our bank accounts, our homes, our property and our labor. They believe in policies that benefit only the very few ‘public servants’, government officials and government cronies that control the pump and skim the cream. And in that sense it isn’t so much that all of them get it wrong. Some of them very well know what they are doing. And what they are doing is getting rich off the productive class in the name of the poor. It is the very reason they oppose a return to the real capitalism. A free market is the only fair market. And in a fair market they can lose.

Bruce Springsteen to campaign for Obama in Ohio, Iowa: Very fitting. Neither of these guys have records they can be proud of.

New $100 bills stolen en route to Fed facility: Not to worry. Helicopter Ben will just print some more.

BBC in crisis as sex abuse scandal surfaces. “…[the late Jimmy Savile] was a prominent children’s entertainer whose status afforded him unsupervised access to a near-endless supply of potential victims. To make matters worse, it’s alleged senior figures at the BBC who were aware of his predilections chose to turn a blind eye.” Sex scandals… they’re not just for football teams and churches anymore.

BENGHAZI-GATE: Did two heroic SEALs ruin Obama’s October Surprise? A conspiracy theory making the rounds is that the White House hatched a plan to have our ambassador taken hostage in Libya so that Obama could trade the currently incarcerated “Blind Sheikh” for him just before the election and look like a hero. The unexpected presence of two SEALs ruined everything, so the story goes. Wacky as it sounds, it seems just as plausible as anything that’s come out of the Administration mouth-pieces since Sept. 11.

Arlen Specter dies: Magic Bullets and Unicorn Killers aside we thought we’d try and say something nice about Specter. So yeah, the wall of sound was pretty cool. Seriously though -and despite our philosophical disagreements with the man- we hope his passing was easy, he is in a better place and this process is not too hard for his family and friends.

State Dept. hired small British firm with no experience to protect Benghazi consulate. Then the manager of the contract flew out of Libya hours before the attack, leaving his employess with nothing but tasers and handcuffs to defend themselves. Something stinks in the Clinton world again and this time it’s not Bill’s cigar collection.

New Obama ad: Few presidents have faced so many challenges. Don’t waste money on an emetic, just play this video when you need to vomit. Yeah, every president inherits challenges, but no president has been so skilled at exacerbating them and then blaming someone else for it. Say, who’s Obama gonna blame for all the challenges he “inherited” if we unexpectedly re-elect him?

Why I’ll never trust PPP’s polls. When push-poll becomes shove-poll: “Do you believe conservative media want white people to think Barack Obama hates them?” And by the way, do you still beat your wife? Polling!

Fearless Felix Jumped! You can watch at Red Bull Stratos – Live Now! Fearless Felix Baumgartner just jumped from about 128,000 feet. He made it!

Atlas Shrugged Part 2 in theaters now. Send them a real October surprise. Make the sequel #1.

Global Warming? What Global Warming? Oh Al? Oh Mike? Oh Phil? Oh Rajenda? Oh IPCC? What about this one? Huh? We can’t hear you!

Will 2012 election see a “reverse Bradley” effect? “I think the number [of liberals] who vote for Romney/Ryan and then tell no one (at least in the short run) will be significant, so significant that this election may explode and be closer to a blowout than anyone, save a few, had expected.” Is there a HUGE Noooobama tide waiting to break loose Nov 6? Let the water come and carry him away.

CBS 5 Poll: Romney Gains 8 Points On Faltering Obama In California. Talk about being in deep shit. While Romney probably won’t carry California it does show even the libtard state is becoming more and more disenchanted with Obama.

DANISH WIND TURBINE COMPANY THAT RECEIVED OVER $50 MILLION IN STIMULUS LAYS OFF 800 WORKERS. Perhaps they should change their name to Solwyndra.
