Day 2 of the Government Slowdown - The Crumbling Begins

A recent CNBC poll found more Americans oppose ObamaCare than oppose the Affordable Care Act. But more Americans support ObamaCare than the Affordable Care Act.

Well I hate both but perhaps ObamaCare a tad more than the ACA. :-)

A Harris Poll for the American Bar Association in 2005 found that 22% of respondents thought the three branches of government were "Republican, Democrat and Independent." Two-thirds of Americans couldn't name a single sitting Supreme Court justice in 2003, and fewer than 1% could name all nine. In 1987, about half of Americans thought Karl Marx's dictum "from each according to his ability to each according to his needs" was in the U.S. Constitution. In 1964, only 38% of the American people were certain the Soviet Union wasn't in NATO.

And the good and bad news is that the LIVs aren't even in this fight yet.

But public ignorance is a problem for Democrats, as well. According to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll last week, a whopping 64% of Americans didn't know that ObamaCare goes into effect Tuesday. This is despite huge news coverage and massive efforts to educate the public. If people don't sign up for the program - and soon - it will fall apart.

On Being Irregular

I rather enjoy agricultural fairs. I'm no farmer, but I find the animals and equipment durn interesting. I have an affection for regular people. Regular people go to, and participate in, agricultural fairs. I always wanted to be a regular person, but I couldn't manage it.

Reading the Subtext

Sailer's Law of Female Journalism:

"Society should be turned upside down, so I am considered hotter-looking."

The Modern Misandry Movement

"I feel that 'man-hating' is an honourable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them."
-Robin Morgan, Ms. Magazine Editor

The Latest Findings of Dr. Andrew Sullivan, OB-GYN

Shifting his attention from Sarah Palin's uterus he reviews the current budget standoff with his usual careful nuance.

"I regard this development as one of the more insidious and anti-constitutional acts of racist vandalism against the American republic in my adult lifetime. Those who keep talking as if there are two sides to this, when there are not, are as much a part of the vandalism as Ted Cruz."

SIEU Turning into the Westboro Church

The same scene was reenacted again today as two Honor Flights from Missouri and Chicago arrived in prearranged visits. These Honor Flights were met by hundreds of ordinary citizens and about a dozen members of Congress, who once again crashed the barricades to let the veterans into the WW2 Memorial.
After about an hour, about 20 SEIU protesters arrived on the scene chanting "Boehner, get us back to work" and claiming they were federal employees furloughed because of the shutdown.
In the video below these protesters were marching towards the press gaggle and I was asking them to show their federal IDs to prove they were in fact federal workers. No one wore their federal ID and none would provide it to prove their claim.

So What Was So Special About John Moses Browning Anyway?

Browning was not a degreed engineer, but he is, to date, the greatest firearms designer who has ever lived. Consider this: had Browning done nothing but the 1911, he'd have a place in the top rank of gun designers, ever. But that's not all he did, by any means. If he had done nothing but the M1917 and M1919 machine guns, he'd have a place in the top ranks of designers. If he'd done nothing but the M2HB, a gun which will still be in widespread infantry service a century after its introduction, and its .50 siblings, he'd be hailed as a genius. One runs out of superlatives describing Browning's career, with at least 80 firearms designed, almost 150 patents granted, and literally three-quarters of US sporting arms production in the year 1900 being Browning designs - before his successes with automatic guns.

...So why him? As we put it, what's so special?

73 This is a rebel question, but a genuine one. What is the point of Reps anymore? Take a moment to consider a few things. In 1776 our population was 2.5 million. In 1860 at the beginning of the civil war it was about 30 million. It's 315 million now. In 1776 we had about 60 members in the House, 178 in 1860, 435 today, which was capped in 1911. In 1776 there was about one rep per 30,000 people, about one rep per 170,000 in 1860, today it's about 900,000 people per rep. Let's just get real, is it realistic for ONE person to properly represent a million? When you get down to it our system was never meant to be centralized the way it is, and the founders never in their wildest dreams imagined the sort of populations we're dealing with. Today, what is it the Reps actually do? From what I gather hardly a one of them understands WTF they are doing. In this modern age with computers and the internet, I say what for? Is a digital voting system a bad idea? Assuming it's completely stable and secure and all that, would each district having a popular vote for each piece of legislation be a bad thing? Or perhaps we could appoint district committees. So in each district there's a committee of say 100 people. Those people get elected locally - unpaid. And then they vote to determine the overall vote for that district. Maybe you could even make it like jury duty, call people to the committee randomly for 1-year terms. And they are free to reject the call. Of course I'm wishing here. Just thinking out loud of how we might decentralize power without actually breaking up the union, although that's an option too. As big as the states are, is there really a benefit to this union? Military, is that all? Anything else?

101 Thank you & your family for your prayers Sven. He is back in the hospital since late Sunday night. He was there from the 11th to 27th. Monday I spoke with the doctor that had him last week and Monday evening. He told me that Paul is going to be likely to continue to get pneumonia because he is a paraplegic. I hadnÂ’t thought of him in those terms. I never cry and was going to go to ME in late August for a meeting but he called the day before to say they could transfer him here. That hasnÂ’t happened yet. I changed my plans to go there because I hoped we could get him here sooner. IÂ’m afraid I might cry when I see him like this. I have expressive face and canÂ’t hide my feelings. I might not cry but might be shocked. I hate having to wear glasses but right about now IÂ’m thankful because itÂ’s a pain to take off sunglasses & put in case and take out glasses. Thanks to all who have offered prayers. Carol

Just thinking out loud of how we might decentralize power without actually breaking up the union, although that's an option too. As big as the states are, is there really a benefit to this union? Military, is that all? Anything else?

Instead of districts, I favor the 'at large' approach to house representation. Gerrymandered districts become a thing of the past, which honestly, favor dense urban centers at the expense of rural populations. I believe by killing that, the House will be more representative of it's constituents. Also, votes for Senator should be restricted to one vote, not two.

177 Yeah, I'm about to way dumb down and over generalize, but here we go. It's not really full blown strep. The antibiotics from when I had strep *almost* killed it off, but because my immune system is compromised it didn't quite get it. So now I've been stuck in this place where the strep can't get a good enough grip to hit me in all it's glory, but my immune system isn't strong enough to clean it out. Yaaaaay auto immune disease.

210 "Or have the House repeal the legislation that froze them at only 435 members. Can you imagine a Congress based on say 100k people per state? Herding the cats becomes more difficult." I haven't researched how this came about, why 435? I'm guessing it was probably about the physical size of the House chamber. The other problem with having that many is each of those guys is paid $200k. And that itself is another issue. Why in the holy hell are these guys paid so much money? And then on top of this don't they have expense reimbursement and whatnot? Their housing for example is free from what I understand. If they needed this money to compensate for the high cost of housing, ok, I'd be ok, but from what I understand they get reimbursed for EVERYTHING and they straight pocket $200k. Serving shouldn't be a PERK, it should be SERVICE. But if you can't even get them to signup for Obamacare no way you will get them to take a pay cut.

Possibly the best/worst line in one of the best, worst movies in cinema history. Although I have to give props to the scene from the same movie, in which Stephen Seagal tells a story about an old man, with a cart, and the chick he was talking to says "He was your father, wasn't he?" That may be corny on its own, but the clincher is that he was married to that chick for 10 years.

Oh lord, I was gonna go voluntary coma too.....

Yes Congressional term limits would further strengthen the Imperial President. Functionally you would be laying the terrain for the rise of a neo-eunuch oligarchy behind the scenes and the machine would be even more powerful than it is. The Chinese were not really ruled by Emperors 85% of the dynasties were the Chinese being ruled by Eunuchs who were "ruled" by the Emperor.

The modern equivalent would be an even more emboldened, hyper-partisan civil service acting as a neo aristocracy.

Purp has it right, we're so beyond the civic virtues needed for a Republic term limits would functionally be crepe paper being swapped.

282 Two comments re Browning. If you click on that black and white photo of him, the guy had a *large* skull, implying a large brain. The P-39 cannon mentioned ended up with a couple of designations, M4 and T9, maybe a couple of variants also. The gun is often referred to as the T-9 Oldsmobile, because the gun was built by American Armament Corporation, a subsidiary of Oldsmobile. The P-39 was unique, in that it fired directly through the propeller shaft. Many were also mounted on the bow of PT boats. If you see film of a forward mounted gun on a PT boat, that would be an Oldsmobile T9. Apt, perhaps, since the engines were Packards. The P-39 aircraft wasn't at all successful among the western allies, but the Rooskies liked it quite a bit, 5 out of 10 of their Aces scoring most of their air-air kills in P-39's. We shipped them a buttload of the things, nearly 5000, I believe.

384 Hi everyone. Gotta love that SEIU story.

Today at FB, I was arguing with a very liberal friend about the shutdown, which of course he and all his swarming friends were trying to make about my feelings about Obamacare, and also they starting pestering me: "where do you get your care?? Huh? Huh?" (Of course, this friend believes Reid/Obama & Co. are completely in the right and that Boehner should be arrested or something.)

The friend also was insisting that by me arguing with him and his friends, I was therefore entering "the political arena" and had an obligation to answer his and his friends' questions. Thankfully, I stayed strong and basically told 'em to stuff it.

I'm also proud of myself because I told one of my friend's friends, who called the entire Repub House Caucus terrorists, to go fuck himself. Interestingly, none of the lefties ever bothered to challenge or harass me about that.

I hope I did well. And we'll see if we're still friends tomorrow.

388 The P-63 Kingcobra is a development of the P-39. Laminar flow airfoil and mechanical supercharger along with bigger tail are the largest changes, though even the armament doors for the nose weapons was simplified from P-39 days. Approximately 4,000 were built. Some 3,000 went to the USSR while others were flown by French forces. The ones in US service tended to become RP-63 specially armored and brightly painted target planes, B-17 gunners would shoot at them with special frangible bullets. And if hits were detected then the lights on the RP-63 would light up, hence they became known as Flying Pinballs.

http://www.hollywood-elsewhere.com/2013/10/35237/

Here's a fun excerpt:

"I wrote the following about a year ago: Â“I donÂ’t want to know, much salute or embrace, a little less than half of the people in this country. The US of A is admired for its movies and music and wide-open landscapes and its great cities, but itÂ’s also widely mocked and in many cases despised by millions worldwide for the bass-ackward, climate-change-denying attitudes that are largely due to American yokelism (religious, rightwing, racist, gay-hating, NASCAR, country music, etc.) and all the Tea Party nutters and conservative corporate toadies theyÂ’ve voted into office, particularly the House of Representatives.

Â“A significant portion of this country has devolved into over-the-cliff lunacy and fact denial over the last decade, particularly since ObamaÂ’s election. TheyÂ’re little more but stoppers and foot-draggers with unhealthy eating habits. TheyÂ’re nice people when you visit (I had a really great time in Shreveport when I visited in late 2010) but later with the shitkicker music and pickup trucks and muscle cars and conservative flag-waving and all that other stuff.Â”

401 Fi well with that one its not that simple. Hibiki is a new teacher. Moves to a new town and has zero cash. He also fails to do research on private academy that he wants to apply to. So he gets booted out since the principal and her Femi-Nazi vice-principal think only women can show students the proper love. Then Hibiki is on the hook for rent he does not have, makes a vow to prove the principle wrong, and then with typical anime WTF the landlady decides to help Hibiki become a woman so she can get her rent and to also show the principal up. Awkwardness ensues along with comedy and romance plus usual high school hijinks.

417 The state Department of Natural Resources on Wednesday refused a directive from the National Park Service to close a host of popular state properties because of the federal government shutdown. The park service ordered state officials to close the northern unit of the Kettle Moraine, Devils Lake, and Interstate state parks and the state-owned portion of the Horicon Marsh, but state authorities rebuffed the request because the lion's share of the funding came from state, not federal coffers.

I was gonna post that NDH. Guess what? It's working, too. Close to 1000 ppl have signed up on Kentucky's exchange; the highest sign-up rate reported so far. The phones and plans they are getting are better than what I have, paying over $50/month for.

I joked in the last thread that if they wanted better sign-up rates, they should give out cartons of Newports and a quart of Mad Dog. Looks like I was a prophet, not a comic.

511 I've been health insurance-less for ~15 years.

Out of pocket expenses during that 15yr period: maybe $2,000. Which included several normal checkups, blood work etc, a $400 tetanus shot at a NY hospital (because apparently NYS refuses to allocate any tetanus vaccine to walk-in clinics or doctors), a wisdom tooth extraction, and a 6-stitch gash on my knee, and some nasty anti-biotic and a Dr visit for Lyme, plus bandiads, alcohol/peroxide for routine stuff.

The 6 stitches were expensive at ~$600. I'm gonna get a surplus field surgical kit. I could have easily done that myself.

If I'd had a black market source for antibiotics, I'd have been willing to do the wisdom tooth extraction myself too and tough out the pain with Ibuprofin.

518 DUKW's a great idea, in more ways than one. If you go to the Smithsonian when it's open, and go to the original Castle building, and ask nice, you can see a large planner's model of L'Enfant's original layout of the city.

The Mall was meant to be the eastern terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, all the way across and extending right up on to the Capitol steps, kind of like Venice. And the reasoning for this was that The Kentuckians and Ohioans should be able to reach the capital without disembarking from their flatboats. Fundamentally different architectural notion of a representative democracy? And as Dingy Harry would be quick to point out, just imagine the smell.

So if every pissant small town SWAT team now has an MRAP or M113, why shouldn't the actual guys get halftracks and ducks? Seems fair to me. You wouldn't believe how many military vehicle owners there are.

After my last visit to DC, mmm about 17 years ago, I swore I would next enter that city at the head of an armored column. I can bring my own armor.

Purp, that's a little more rad than I'm willing to go, cuz you're screwed if the tooth breaks during extraction. As far as antibiotics go, I went to Mexico several years ago, whereupon I acquired a nice supply of antibiotics. I need to do that again someday, but I don't have a freakin' passport.

You say that in jest but my group of folk with our particular form of Weight Loss Surgery occasionally need Metronizadole, usually about 500mg 2x a day 3-5 days. Powerful antibiotic and most docs don't like to write for it and insurance can be picky about paying for it. Some opt to get Fishzole. Same stuff, vet grade, over the internet. They just cross their fingers there isn't anything hinky in it.

Posted by: Ragamuffin at October 02, 2013 11:43 PM (fzFF6)

I wasn't kidding at all. I had roommates who would take fish medication (they both worked in tropical fish stores [tetracycline was popular -- Rid-Ich, not so much]). Considering how companies can be sued up one side and down the other if "Buddy" died from tainted drugs, they're probably cleaner than the stuff you got dosed with 30 years ago by MDs.

614 484 It looks like I'm going to have health insurance from my employer for a few more months, I think we're due to re-up in January so we'll see if they still provide insurance for us. Hopefully by that time O-Care is either nuked (not likely) or the WA State exchanges will be easier to access (also not likely). Posted by: Theresa D., Tea Party Terrorista Sounds the same for the retirees' insurance that I've been getting through my former employer, but paying for myself. It looks like we're going to be dumped on the exchanges. I just don't want to deal with it. I've been in the dumps since TFG got re-elected. This shit is all I need. Everything was fine until that bastard interfered. I was willing to pay for my own insurance, and was able to get the same insurance that I had before I retired at group rates. Then they passed that piece of shit bill and the premiums just shot up last January. Now they might not offer it for retirees.

I'm kinda liking Castle. Season 1/2 were good, 3 is looking OK a few episodes in.

Stana Katic is easy on the eyes. I'm usually able to pick the perp within the first 5-10 minutes, so its not actually very mystery'y for me, but still better than I'd expected.

The Tamala Jones's medical examiner character is a bright spot in the show too.

632 NWConservative, I'll probably get tarred and feathered for saying it just like I got tarred and feathered by lefty FB friends earlier today for not being just absolutely crazy about Obamacare...

But I think tweaking is the best bet at this point. Especially if the Repubs can gain share in the House and Senate, and maybe even the WH. One of the things conservatives can learn from liberals is that the libs were happy to change everything very gradually over the last 40 years. They didn't demand to win every chip at the table with their first poker hand.

I believe O-Care can be tweaked into something that protects both consumers and private enterprise, encourages research, and maybe even lowers premiums. Especially if it becomes a French-style system IMHO, where it's made to cover catastrophic illness or injury and leaves everything extra to the market.

Okay, let the tarring begin. Start with the back, it's my least sensitive area. :-)

659 The difference, I'd opine, Steve, is that the Dems start by arguing for the furthest left that they possibly can without scaring anyone and when the "compromise" from that far-left position to the "middle", they're actually getting 80% of what they want. The GOP doesn't do that. They start from the middle and get themselves compromised to the moderate left again and again and again which is why the right always loses ground on these fights. The one exception is defending the 2nd Amendment but that's mainly the NRA's doing and not the GOP's.

664 Andy: right in that on both gun control and abortion, both start by claiming extreme positions on the other side. "You want to ban abortion!" "You want to ban guns!"

The GOP so desperately needs new blood, it's sickening at this point. It's also beyond obvious IMHO that they go into fights expecting to lose, so they're already about 60% defeated on the way into any negotiations. They believe everyone's already against them and start from a defensive posture, which is an almost sure sign they'll lose.

If the Democrats were faced with truly aggressive Republicans, they'd shit their pants.

669 Peaches, I posted that about my brother & then went to do laundry & eat. I'm sorry I read your comment two minutes ago. Thank you. I believe it's all in a God's hands. It is ironic that my mother's mother, was stuck in bed crippled with rheumatoid arthritis for 22 years, she died in 1953, before I was born. Two of my my mother's sisters had same arthritis, but it wasn't even 20 years later when youngest aunt started to get it, only difference was medical advances, that Aunt & another were stuck in wheelchairs for last few years of their lives. My Mother would go to My Aunt's house 3-4 times a week to take care of her. She passed wast suddenly at Mass Eye & Ear from a heart attack while waiting, I think, all day, for someone to see her. Their sister died within three months. My mother was a saint & took care of everyone from her mother to her younger siblings as a child & then babysat for older sibling's kids as teenager & young married woman. Then she lost all her siblings from 1995to 1999. She was one of nine. My mother had to get that (fucking) Alzheimer's in 2002. We had to put her in a nursing home that had nurses that were part timers in 2005 . Most of her nurses there must have cheated, I knew different types go insulin, wound dressings more than they did. My mother fell in April 2006, I went to the hospital with her, by ambulance, with papers in my hands. Her doctor was there either when she fell or right after, papers said my mother had complained of left hip pain. The hospital let me stay with my mother when they could, I was asked to leave when they did X-Rays, or wasn't allowed in. They diagnosed my mother with a urinary tract infection & I took cab, or called my older brother to pick me up, they had to keep her. I'm sorry, I don't want comments, I was thinking this today & missed a beautiful day here in the house. My mother broke her hip from that fall & after two days off being in that hell-house nursing home I kept asking why she couldn't walk, some said she forgot or was afraid. I had to have temper tantrums two times before the nurse manager imbecile paid attention to me. My mothers hip was broken for 3+ weeks & during that time she developed a small foot sore, less than size of a quarter, though no nurse showed it to me. My mother had new hip & it healed perfectly. Doctor lied to me about size of foot sore, I spoke with that c you next Tuesday on a Wednesday & she suggested I participate in PT. Six days later nurse called to tell me I had to go to wound clinic with my mother, she had no heel on right foot. That doctor specializes in foot wounds only. It took over 10 months to heal & you cannot teach a person with Alzheimer's to,walk again after 1 a. Months. Now I know what else I have to watch for, but I think older people (WWII generation) do not complain. Thank you for letting me go on, my grandmother spent 22 years stuck in bed, I'm not sure how long two of my Aunts spent in wheelchairs. My mother was from April 2006 to July 2011. Now my younger brother is going to be stuck in bed or a wheelchair, if they get him up, from April 2013 until he dies?

672 Posted by: qdpsteve at October 03, 2013 12:09 AM (T/XcG) This bill can't be fixed. You can remove all the taxes you want, but they all pay for the preexisting conditions bullshit. I am not opposed to actual state exchanges that are NOT propped up with fed tax dollars because people in states can do that, the federal government cannot and should not do that. Over 60% of Americans didn't even know the exchanges started yesterday and the many that did thought it was free like almost every lefty I know. Then comes the sticker shock. Then comes the anger that they were lied to. Then comes the protests that they are forced to buy this shit or no refund. I think the Republicans have a great issue to run on next year if they don't fuck it up with amnesty or cave on this shutdown (non shutdown).

And once they win their primary? Congratulations, you're allowed to talk about the following topics on the trail, and you're allowed to talk about the following topics to the press. Say ANYTHING else and after you get your head handed to you by the Democrats, we'll sue you for every penny you cost the Central Committee campaigning.

NO MORE TODD AKINS. I'm so sick of Repubs ending up stuck with losers forever. Funny how Democrats who embarass the party (not themselves of course, because too many of them have no shame whatsoever) ALWAYS end up either getting sick or just disappearing. Hmm.

This bill is going to get even more unpopular because it hits Democrat supporters (traditional) even harder than the Republican ones.

I just know these municipalities are just dying to dump them into the exchanges to save money on their completely underwater budgeting.

730 Posted by: Andrew at October 02, 2013 09:20 PM (VjlMj) I'm with you, but the founders were ahead of you. The whole idea was that the Federal government was supposed to be extremely limited and deliberately slow. The small scale, local representation you're talking about is... or was... already in place in the form of sovereign states and local government. Unfortunately, like everything else, that whole concept got abandoned in favor of Uncle Sugar from Washington. NONE of these issues were ever supposed to be Federal issues. 99% of it should stop at the personal accountability level. Instead, people made it a Federal issue to feed and clothe ourselves... and now it's Washington's responsibility to provide your pills, your birth control, your abortion if your birth control didn't work, or provide for your kid if you didn't kill it. More than 50% of the country has entirely forgotten (or bought into the government's lie) that you are actually capable of doing stuff for yourself. Don't want a kid? Keep it in your pants. No money required. Hungry? After you're done with the apple you picked out of the dumpster, plant the seeds. Thirsty? Walk your sorry ass over to the creek or dig a well. It's so easy cave men DID do it.

I can't help but think that the entire reason he went back on the show because he wanted to be on the tribe with his "fiance'" so he could stick it to all the straights by showing their happy relationship. Can't even understand his "fiance'" who actually seems like a normal person.

One time, we were on a dive trip to Guanaja, Honduras. At the Roatan airport, this pair got on to do the hop over to the next island.....and we were introduced to the individuals that we came to know as "Dr. Twinkie" and his "burrito-packing buddy".

Dr. Twinkie was an actual MD from the Four Corners area, who sweated "New York Jewish Asshole" from every pore. I don't, in fact, know if he had ever set foot within 500 miles of New York, and he could have been Zoroastrian.....but the stank was just the same. He talked over people, he was totally self-absorbed, he thought he was the greatest thing on toast, he threw elbows getting ready for dives.....I did a free-dive to 20' to retrieve a lens he had dropped after a dive.....not even a "thank you". We weren't even pushed back from the gate at the Roatan airport when the BH and I knew we disliked him.

By comparison, we all thought the burrito-packer was a total mensch. Honest-to-God, he actually owned and ran a company that made organic frozen burritos sold in supermarkets in the Southwest. He was a quiet guy, but really interesting to talk to, helped out with the dives, fit in to the group. Though his nic was kind o' harsh [though what are you going to do when the guy actually packs burritos?], he was a kind, gentle soul that everyone really liked -- he'd be a great neighbor. And we felt so, so, so very sorry for him that he was stuck with Doctor Twinkie for the duration.

Could be the same guys -- can't remember their real names. Shudder to think that they might still be together, though.

On one dive, we were doing the fringes of an area where less reputable dive operators had been doing feedings, so this 5' moray comes fully out of the reef to see if we brought any tidbits.....and Doctor Twinkie started rubbing it all over his body.

In a righteous and just world, it would have nipped a chunk out of him for even thinking of such a horror. Alternatively, I could have blacked out and not remember a thing today. Alas, I can still recall his obscene undulations with the creature.

We all watched, helplessly, ready to rescue if Doctor Twinkie's antics came to harm....and fervently wished we were someplace else. But we'd come there as a mutual-aid society and would leave there as a group.....though tainted.

873 30....."Do you guys think Chrissy is falling in love with Cruz and out of love with SCOAMF?"
No but his alcohol dementia means he is lucid about 1% of every day. The problem for the Obama-ninnies is that Cruz IS what they claimed Obama was in 2008. Brilliant-check. Sensational speaker-check. Nationally rated Constitutional lawyer-check. Young-check. Minority-check. Child of immigrant father-check. Ivy league-check. Law professor-check. And there is more but for Obama it was a great big pack of lies to market a slacker. With Cruz it is true and it scares the alcoholism right out of Chrissy the spit spewer. Can anyone believe that Obama gave up a brilliant law career (big bucks, federal judge clerkships, etc) to be a schmuck in a public housing cheese factory in Chicago for which he failed at even that. Me either. Obama was a moron and slacker and the courts and white shoes knew it. The very idea that Cruz is "the one they have been waiting for" is making them ill.

874 873 Bob@ 5:40,

Bob I'd say Ogabe is doing a bang up job making the United States look a lot more like Chicago....

God save us all.

875 Day 3. Tonight a pack of five feral 'non-essential' federal employees came to my door, seeking a handout. It sure didn't take long for them to revert to the wild. Anyhow, I refused to feed them or fill out any of their phony forms for them. I advise you not to either, as they then leave an emblem on your mailbox post marking you as a soft touch for the next pack to come along.

Hoboes use this same system.

878 Some guy starts to sign up for ObamaCare in the morning, see's the price tag, and opts out, then... I received an email tonight at 5:00 P.M. informing me that my fine would be $4,037 and could be attached to my yearly income tax return. Then you make it to the Â“REPERCUSSIONS PORTIONÂ” for Â“non-paymentÂ” of yearly fine. First, your drivers license will be suspended until paid, and if you go 24 consecutive months with Â“Non-PaymentÂ” and you happen to be a home owner, you will have a federal tax lien placed on your home. You can agree to give your bank information so that they can easy Â“Automatically withdrawÂ” your Â“penaltiesÂ” weekly, bi-weekly or monthly! This by no means is Â“FreeÂ” or even Â“Affordable.Â” Sounds like his computer was already infected with some sort of virus, and now someone is 'phishing' for his bank information. Pass this information along to people to be cautious. You can select that paragraph then search the net to find a link. It's all over the place.

880 749 Baldilocks, best of luck. I'd buy but I have NO money, and don't expect to have any for the foreseeable future. Posted by: Null at October 03, 2013 01:49 AM (xjpRj) God be with you.

881 You know what would be interesting...? What if GW Bush decided to take GHW Bush to see HIS memorial. What a shit storm that would cause. Discuss among yourselves. Damm, I'd pay to watch that scene.
