The comments are mind-blowing. I'm a racist bigot for pointing out that Californians (who overwhelmingly support this fuck-up festival) are stunned to find out that the money has to come from somewhere, and that they're 'somewhere.'
Who did they EXPECT was going to pay for it?

That's just it. They ARE the rich. Are liberals really so insulated from reality that they don't realize that their combined $250,000 income places them among the wealthiest in America?

Watched the trailer in the sidebar about the movie 'Lone Survivor'. I hope hollywood doesn't foul it up like they do so many real stories.
Maybe Luttrell quietly told the cast and crew what he and his fellow SEALs would do to them if they got the story wrong.

Drudge has a link to a Weekly Standard story with this title:
Florida Woman's Insurance Rate Increases 10X Under Obamacare - From $54/month to $591/month
The woman is quoted as saying: "What I have right now is what I'm happy with, and I just want to know why I can't keep what I have... Why do I have to be forced into something else?"
Two things:
1) According to Amanda Marcotte's litmus test, this woman is lying. Everyone who says their premiumsare going up is lying. Everyone's lying and it's all the fault of Faux News.
And
2) The dark, nihilistic part of my soul wants to know who this woman voted for in 2008 and 2012. Let's say my sympathy will only apply if the answer is "NOT Barack Obama."

Another Great Moment In Art School History
Thank you, Ben, for not titling that "Another Great Moment in Art History", because I think we can all agree that a gay guy getting ass-fucked in a gallery is not in any way, shape or form ART, virgin ass or not.

My Marxist doctor uncle who lives in a multi-million dollar mansion on country club grounds complains about the onerous taxes and regulations he faces, but thinks everything would be great if those damned rich people weren't so greedy and just paid a little more.

Funny thing is, depending on how you define these things, most of us are "rich."
Think about it, how long has history defined wealth by the ability to NEVER worry about where one's next meal is coming from? Where one will lay their head each night? We have cell phones, cars, cable tv and all the rest. We have, many of us, land we purchased.
We're rich.
Defining it by the amount of annual income is a silly way to do it, really.
So who is going to pay for poor people getting their healthcare? We are, the rich. We always have. Only now, the doctors and hospitals will have the full force of the federal government on our behinds to make sure we pay.

What a surprise. Everyone defines "the rich" as "someone who has more than me."
Problem being that the Democrat version of "the rich" seems to be "anyone not on welfare and food stamps", even though those people seem to have a higher standard of living than those of us keeping this f*cking welfare state afloat.

Sit one of them down. Ask the question calmly. I'll bet a week's pay the answer will be "the rich," "Republicans," "Tea Partiers."
Then ask, "why would you think their rates would go up and not yours?" The answer will be "the rich," "Republicans," "Tea Partiers."
The GOP could bury the Dems for a hundred years if they had one-millionth of a percentage point of the Horde's political acumen.

This. We all spy on each other. That the US was spying on the Euros isn't surprising, anymore than it would be surprising to find that the Euros are spying on us. Or the South Americans. Or the Asians. Or the Antarcticans, if such a people existed.
The laxadaisacal attitude our gubmint appears to have taken toward safeguarding this information, however, is where the problem arises.

The specific passages *I* am thinking of deal with Sodom and Gomorrah. It wasn't the sodomy specifically as much as WHO was being sodomized, which happened to be two of his angels.
God didn't seem to have a problem with Lot handing over his daughters to the crowd as long as his angels weren't getting it in the end.

My understaning was that the sin of Sodom was not so much sodomy as inhospitality; the men of Sodom, asking to "know" the angels visiting Lot, were ordering him to turn over guests who were under his protection, which is why Lot offered his daughters instead. Still, nobody comes off well in the event.

I think it's more a case of CBS wanting to "thoroughly cover" the story now, two years out from any meaningful Presidential campaign coverage, so that when they invariably go easy on Cankles they can point to this story and say, "See? We covered Benghazi. You can't say we didn't, because we did. And we did it two/three years ago, so you can't say we did it deliberately to help Hillary!"

Pam Kehaly, president of Anthem Blue Cross in California, said she received a recent letter from a young woman complaining about a 50% rate hike related to the healthcare law.
"She said, 'I was all for Obamacare until I found out I was paying for it,'" Kehaly said.
I'll bet she thought only the rich were supposed to pay for it. Ain't reality a kick in the fucking head.
