Another hazard of this part of the world are wildfires, and there was one today in Guthrie, just north of OK City. It was 4 miles long, a mile wide and destroyed 20 homes. 1000 people were evacuated and one died who refused to evacuate. I'd sit tight for a tornado or hurricane warning, but sure as hell would get away from a wildfire.
The major news story here which is resurfacing is the Benghazi terrorist attack in which four Americans died. Like all scandals it is the cover up which is worse than the story, and is making the news. People are comparing it to Watergate, but saying at least no one died in Watergate.
Democrats just want the matter to go away, but no one has been held accountable, no one has actually said what happened, no one knows where the President was at the time, it has just been established today that he wasn't in the situation room - where these events are monitored. Hilary Clinton's whereabouts haven't been established either; the Ambassador who died had actually asked for extra security and it was refused him, in spite of the fact that the British had evacuated their staff.
Democrats are treating it like an old story and feel everyone should move on, but Republicans are determined - quite rightly - to get to the bottom of it. I am not even American and I want to know what happened and who is responsible. And if I were the mother of one of the dead Americans I would be pounding on the doors of the White House demanding answers.
Hilary Clinton, as Secretary of State, was being pressed some time ago in an interview for answers and threw her hands up, saying "what does it matter". I used to like Hilary, but you can go off someone. Until now it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that she would run as President, but it is now looking less and less likely.
