– The Real Benghazi Scandal - Ronan Farrow - The Atlantic
Once again Congress proves its ineptitude by not only being the indirect cause/foundation for the failure of Benghazi, but also by passing the blame onto the White House so as to score political points.
I wish it was easier to fire...

Community to get another midseason premiere, Parks...
robertdoc:
According to NBC’s upfronts today, we may be in for another eight month Community hiatus, since it has no fall timeslot yet.

– The Joy of Jury Duty - Andrew Guthrie Ferguson - The Atlantic
I enjoyed my time on jury duty years ago and I would do it again. I think ALL Americans should do jury duty at least once in their lives. It might even help us to be better in regards to how we approach and treat each other… You...

Like hundreds, possibly thousands, of workers on the cleanup, Griffin soon fell ill with a cluster of excruciating, bizarre, grotesque ailments. By July, unstoppable muscle spasms were twisting...
