There Is No Pravda in Правда - 2013 Edition
From a recent Pravda editorial on John Kerry and Syria:
Moral: President Obama does not have a leg to stand on in his neo-conservative elitist dream to take Syria by force and install a US-friendly regime to give the USA control over the country's resources before the upcoming attacks against Lebanon and Iran.
Wait - Syria has resources and Obama's a neo-conservative? Eh forget it - they're rolling.
But if an attack on Iran really is on the Syrian menu, then consider me open to suasion. Cause I've been nursing a 30+ year grudge against those Persian bastards.
PJ O'Rourke on Brave Sir Obama Throughout History
Pontius Barack Pilate Obama,
Matthew 27:24
When he saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of these just persons, but I'll ask the Senate back in Rome for authority to do something-or-other, although it may have to wait until after Good Friday."
John Barack Fitzgerald
Kennedy Obama
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill-and since we're not engaged in nation-building, every nation should wish us well-that we shall pay any price if it's not too high, bear any burden unless it's burdensome, meet any hardship unless it's hard, support any friend if we have any, oppose any foe-although no nation should think of us as a foe because we're not that kind of country anymore-to assure the survival and success of liberty, unless it's a holiday weekend.
I used to think he was merely foolish and misguided (but sincere), but after enough of his assholery including today's anti-gun screed it's clear he's just a nasty piece of work in a human suit.
And here's some of his ugly little Twitter droppings from today:
Eh. At this point if it came down to Frum vs. fire, I'd say let fire have its chance.
Miss California on How To Deal With the Syrian Situation
And her answer is about as coherent as Obama's Syria policy.
But in her defense she's probably only given it maybe 8 seconds thought tops and still had to worry about the talent portion of the pageant. I'm not sure what Obama's excuse is.
Heh: The NYT Times Finally Discovers Voter Fraud
And of course it involves a local Tuscaloosa, AL school board election, U of Alabama sororities and fraternities, and whole lotta white people and Republican-types.
The turmoil began some weeks earlier. It raised the specter of the Machine, a secret society representing a league of select and almost exclusively white fraternities and sororities, which has been around for a century or more. Once a breeding ground for state political leaders, the Machine (it has long been known by that nickname) today maintains a solid hold on student government through an effective, and critics say coercive, brand of old-fashioned organization politics.But the Machine's apparent involvement in an August school board election, a rare appearance in municipal politics, has prompted a lawsuit, accusations of voter fraud and an outcry that in many ways primed the campus for the larger storm over inclusion and tradition that is now taking place.
...The numbers bear out their influence. Of the 369 voters registered in the district this year, 269 registered during one week in mid-August, and 94 percent of those newly registered voters were 21 or younger. Mr. Kirby won the race by 416 to 329 votes.
His opponent, Kelly Horwitz, filed suit this month, claiming that many of the voters were ineligible, including 11 unrelated people who listed the same residence - a small, single-family house near the football stadium.
Keep in mind that the total number of votes in the entire election is barely the turnout of a even single Chicago cemetery.
Obamacare Wants to Know About Your Sex Life
He who pays gets to pry:
'Are you sexually active? If so, with one partner, multiple partners or same-sex partners?"Be ready to answer those questions and more the next time you go to the doctor, whether it's the dermatologist or the cardiologist and no matter if the questions are unrelated to why you're seeking medical help. And you can thank the Obama health law.
"This is nasty business," says New York cardiologist Dr. Adam Budzikowski. He called the sex questions "insensitive, stupid and very intrusive." He couldn't think of an occasion when a cardiologist would need such information - but he knows he'll be pushed to ask for it.
The president's "reforms" aim to turn doctors into government agents, pressuring them financially to ask questions they consider inappropriate and unnecessary, and to violate their Hippocratic Oath to keep patients' records confidential.
Embarrassing though it may be, you confide things to a doctor you wouldn't tell anyone else. But this is entirely different.
Doctors and hospitals who don't comply with the federal government's electronic-health-records requirements forgo incentive payments now; starting in 2015, they'll face financial penalties from Medicare and Medicaid. The Department of Health and Human Services has already paid out over $12.7 billion for these incentives.
My opinion has always been that it you ask an out-of-bounds intrusive question, then you have no right to expect a truthful answer. So from me you'll get a lie, a boastful over-the-top exaggeration, or a gratuitous maternal insult or worse depending on whatever is most convenient/satisfying for me at the moment.
Palin Sued For Posting This Photo on Facebook

It's been years since I've seen one of his ads but I can still it hear it playing in my head. Back when I lived in LA it was common among what Ace would call the New Class to mock Cal as just a dumb hick who got lucky - but in reality he was anything but - and he didn't mind if he got mocked so as long as you bought a car from one of his dealerships.
Cal Worthington died Sunday at the age of 92. If the name doesn't ring a bell, you (a) never lived in Southern California; (b) don't watch car dealer commercials on TV, (c) never worked in sales, or (d) all the above.Mr. Worthington was the Los Angeles-area car dealer whose angular features, cowboy suit and ubiquitous "Dog Spot" (an animal that was never a canine) graced thousands of commercials over a career more than 50 years. The Television Advertising Bureau described him as the "greatest car pitchman" in the history of the medium, and it's hard to disagree...
Most advertising "pros" recoil at the Worthington model; by their standards, he did almost everything wrong. In an era that favored smooth-talking announcers, Cal looked and sounded like your uncle from Oklahoma (where he was born and grew up during the Dust Bowl). His spots weren't particularly artistic, but they certainly caught your attention. There was Cal, doing a headstand on the hood of a car, promising to "stand on my head, 'til my ears turn red" (to sell a vehicle). The background music was a jingle that was lifted from "If You're Happy and You Know It," with a home-spun chorus telling viewers to "Go see Cal/Go see Cal/Go See Cal" about every three seconds. Incidentally, the jingle had 26 stanzas, for those keeping score at home. Worthington wrote it himself.
...In passing, Cal Worthington will be largely remembered for those thousands of TV commercials that made him a cultural icon. But that does him something of a disservice; Worthington belonged to that same generation of Americans that included men like Ray Kroc and Sam Walton; businessmen who were salesmen at heart, that knew what their customers wanted and sold the hell out of their product line. Selling, as practiced by a Walton, Kroc or Worthington, is an art. But unfortunately, it's a dying art; today's generation seems less interested in closing the deal if it can't be done on-line.

Cal was a genius--although the one time we went to his Long Beach place the 'special' was priced low because of a fire having taken place inside the car
not an allegorical fire, but a fire-fire.

Also in today's edition of Cretins Attempting And Failing To Talk Intelligently About Guns, there was this gem, from the chief of medicine at the D.C. hospital where several of the Navy Yard survivors were taken:
"Orlowski also notes that the weapon used to shoot the victims 'had to be a semi-automatic because they're talking about gunshots that they heard in rapid succession.'"
Facepalm. Hey, doc, how about having yourself a nice steaming hot mug of Shut The Fuck Up, and answering questions about medical matters, and not incorrectly opining about guns.
The same MD proceeded to turn the press conference into a forum for her own personal and quite indignant views about how awful it is that people in America can buy guns. And how she hopes that guns can be outlawed so that her hospital can get rid of its trauma department. (That'll work out just great for all those auto accident victims, then.)
None of you will be surprised to hear, I wager, that she hails from Shitcargo.

Frum needs to be punched in the face. Not metaphorically. Literally. He strikes me as someone who was somehow sheltered from any rough kids as a child. No one ever punched him in the face, and that's a shame. A punch to the face really puts things in perspective.
Well, that's too bad because he sure looks like he's been punched in his fat, doughy face. Bad genetics, I guess.

I pay a membership fee of $30 per month. For that, I can see her as often as I want, for $15 a pop. Blood work, including liver enzymes and cholesterol, runs me another $15.
She said that the chances of them closing due to OCare was zero, as their target market is the uninsured (like me) and small businesses that cannot afford to offer any healthcare plans except membership in this clinic.

I went to my doctor about a month ago. Hadn't been in a few years and they no longer had my file. They sat me down at a computer to fill out about 15 screens of medical history. I decided to Mirandize myself, thinking someday, anything I say can and will be used against me. So other than a couple of benign answers, I skipped all questions. I figured (correctly) that my Dr, who I trust, would only ask me what was essential for him to know to treat me (and fortunately it was a routine visit, so not much to discuss).
I wonder how many people are going to zip lips like me? Suck it, Obamaccare.

So we're going back to every able-bodied male is in the militia and expected to have a gun? Sweet!
I said in the other thread: we should give the libs what they want and go back to a "well-regulated" militia, by requiring every male to complete firearms training during high school. That training will also include operation and care of a light machine gun, squad tactics, and construction of homemade explosives.

I went to my doctor about a month ago. Hadn't been in a few years and they no longer had my file. They sat me down at a computer to fill out about 15 screens of medical history. I decided to Mirandize myself, thinking someday, anything I say can and will be used against me. So other than a couple of benign answers, I skipped all questions. I figured (correctly) that my Dr, who I trust, would only ask me what was essential for him to know to treat me (and fortunately it was a routine visit, so not much to discuss).
I wonder how many people are going to zip lips like me? Suck it, Obamaccare.

Sithlord - it's routine - and insurance-based, so I guess that is a conspiracy, of sorts. The great insurance database in the sky has existed for some time. I saw it used in the early '90s while I was still a paralegal where a claimant's non-related mental health history was used against her by her own auto carrier when she had the gall to file an uninsured motorist claim against them. You waive all that privilege stuff whenever you file a claim and put your medical history at issue. If you do not want stuff in your records, lie ...

Read the fine print on your insurance policy and claim forms - you waive it routinely contractually, without government intervention. Obviously, in the new Obamacare world, your medical history then becomes politicized ...
Only way around it would be to not accept insurance and pay for your care directly to a doctor that is willing to accept cash, but that too will eventually be banned, as it is in Canada ...
HIPAA is supposed to protect the confidentiality of our records, but who watches the watchers when there are political advantages that can be taken. When care is rationed, it will be rationed to those that provided the "correct" answers, or else behavioral, as it is with the NHS in the UK currently.

Presumably you speak of the Fiat 850 Coupe.

"The true story of how the Navy Yard shooter got into the building. The NY has scan in security all day except for AM rush hour. During rush hour a second door is opened to handle the the inflownof people were you only have to swipe your badge. The shooter went to this door, waited for someone to swipe their id and piggybacked behind them. A security officer saw this and in the process of stopping the shooter was shot and killed by the shooter. A second security guard was alerted by the shots comes in and the shooter shot him in both legs.
The shooter then took the deceased officers weapon and entered the building. His goal was the 5th floor where the contractors work because he was just fired. The 5th floor requires security access which he no longer had. So he went to the 4th floor and proceeded to shoot whoever he wanted."
Anyone here (maybe Bomber) that can corroborate the security procedures or indicate if this sounds plausible?

Posted by: Buzzion at September 16, 2013 11:24 PM (ixjDm)
Believe it or don't. Ace has historically been unusually receptive to "I was on a three-day bender, that's not how I normally act" arguments....although, yeah -- now that you remind me, Marple went multi-media -- so another month might be prudent. Then, again, it might take a month to convince Marple.
And, like I said, under normal circumstances it might be enough to say, "your house, your rules. Can I get unbanned?" through gritted teeth. Some can say it, some cannot -- which is why even accidental bannings or "collateral damage" bannings don't totally tip the place into paranoia.....and I'm pretty freakin' paranoid to start with. I think Marple was reaping more than she'd sown because of a build-up that she hadn't participated in -- but she sure as hell didn't help her case in the immediate followup.

When you go in by pov, you go around the back and go through the whole vehicle checkpoint deal. There is also a pedestrian gate there. The story could work at the back gate. There are couple of turnstile covered by an armed guard - I don't recall a fortified position.

I had my fill of Fiat 124's and 850's 40 years ago. I have a cousin (who lives in Chapel Hill) who had a brace of 850 Roadster race cars, one for himself, and one for his wife. They did OK, but had been heavily prepped. A guy I was in the service with had a roadster also. When the muffler rotted out, he put a pair of Triumph 650 mufflers on. Sounded pretty good.

You're right, but it's one thing to run from Duluth to Carlton on I-35 at 11pm. It's another thing entirely to try to find parking in Berwick-on-Tweed.
Too, the effing governments want to tell you not only how fast to drive (as tho' safely arriving wasn't its own reward), but wut 2 drive, 2.

The short version: rezalB was being a drunken dick to some of the moronettes on the ONT so I asked him to leave. He refused and doubled down which got him banned.
The next day he tried begging/cajoling Ace to let him back but in the drunken process managed to have such a complete and utter meltdown that by the end he was posting his address and threatening to fight/kill anyone who showed up. That got him banned with extreme prejudice.

Not particularly scary, or anything. It also has a a good build up that leads to a bit of a let down. But, Event Horizon is well done anyway. Quite stylish with atmosphere and looks great. Some good bits. Worth checking out if you don't expect a horror masterpiece or anything.

Yeah, it's kind of like Sunshine in a way that the payoff doesn't match the build up. But, I like Event Horizon anyway. As mentioned by Thrawn, the haunted spaceship angle is great. It's arguably much better directed than Sunshine. As laughable as Sunshine became in the 3rd act, I enjoyed it up to a point, mostly for the going to Mercury bit. Event Horizon is a better movie, though. Plus it's got Neptune in it.

I don't blame him for being bitter about the hit and run. I don't blame him for being angry. I don't consider him whiny or bitchy -- he suffered a legitimate harm and has been stonewalled and fucked-over by the government that confiscates part of every one of his paychecks. I don't get too worked up about him tangling with EoJ -- leading to EoJ, being a gentleman and acting the adult, to retreat off the ONT.

If it's any consolation, I've been listening to Bowie's Station To Station, Low, and "Heroes" basically nonstop for the past four days and reaffirming that they're among my all-time favorite albums by any artist.
"TVC-15" is easily the greatest honky-tonk piano-prog-rock song ever written about a girlfriend-eating television set, hands down.

Now that I think of it, this whole genre reminds me of "Ship of Fools" / "Unto Leviathan." It's a passable novel about the perils of exploring malicious alien ships. Got a couple of cheap thrills out of me, but the ending was real dumb.
Posted by: Yoshi, Aggrieved Victim of the White Man at September 17, 2013 12:56 AM
Yeah, the ending to Sunshine was utter shit. It's pretty dumb, overall, but had some interesting bits. Who wrote that novel? It sounds familiar, somehow. On the subject of "The Thing", the Dr. Who episodes of "Seeds of Death" was on last night. Haven't seen it since 1975. There';s a hell of a lot of "Who Goes There" and the 2 "Thing" movies in it... particularly interesting are the bits that predate the Carpenter one. It's either a huge coincidence, or it must have led to borrowed bits. Odd.

Huh. Now *that* is an impressively obscure pull right there. You're right, it's a damn good song and lyric, especially for so early in Bowie's career. A few ungainly lines in there ("the love machine lumbers through desolation rows," please?) but still, pretty epic.
That entire album is actually quite underrated. People usually dismiss it as "Space Oddity" + a bunch of crap but in truth most of the songs there are pretty solid. "Janine" in particular is another very underappreciated one.

So was it in 1978 or 1989 that you saw him? If it was 1978 (when he was touring the Berlin-era material with Adrian Belew backing him on guitar & vocals) then you are one lucky son of a bitch. If 1989, then still pretty lucky anyway.

One of my personal hobbyhorses is that performers who were once buskers have an understanding of showmanship that is infinitely superior to those who were just told they were showmen and stuck on stage as part of a larger production.

A good thesis, and correct I think. Bowie cut his teeth on experimental theater for years before he 'made it' as a musician, so he was equipped from the start to be a great stage performer.

Wish the whole thing were available on YouTube...that might actually be single best live performance of the song he's ever done, speaking strictly musically.
I can't say enough good things about "TVC-15" - it might just be my single favorite Bowie song ever, and I really love his '70s work so that's saying something. Roy Bittan, in particular (yes, that's right, the pianist from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band) is absolutely inspired on it, turning in a performance that's arguably better than anything he ever did with Springsteen.

Still, probably among my fav Side One : Track One cuts of all time.

I dunno. There's more than a single disc. It could have been a killer double LP, but, I think it's their best. There's a ton of good shit on it, even the weird stuff and just fucking around stuff, mixed in with the stand out tracks makes for a pretty epic triple LP.

Yeah someone else started it, I called back, but it stopped there - I remember most, but not all, of their lyrics, although some were completely unintelligible.
Nice to have a music conversation without the obligatory "nothing good since the '70s" comment.

Easy for me, London Calling. I would rank Siamese Dream way up there - the drumming is incredible. Need to refresh my memory banks, the art of the album went away some time ago.
Posted by: Joe at September 16, 2013 10:06 PM (8Prb7)
There's way too much good music out there, from every era.
I know I've mentioned it here, before, but Imperial Teen's 'Feel the Sound' is an awesome record. Some of the slickest pop to come out in years. Filthy good stuff.

- Quadrophenia, The Who: maybe my single favorite album of all time, by anyone, ever.
- Double Nickels On The Dime, Minutemen: there's actually a bit of filler crammed in near the end but who can argue with shit like "Two Beads At The End," "It's Expected I'm Gone," and "Do You Want New Wave Or Do You Want The Truth?"
- Zen Arcade, Husker Du: the necessary companion to Double Nickels (D. Boon even had "Take that, Huskers!" carved into the runout groove of Nickels in acknowledgment of how Zen Arcade inspired them.) The first LP is arguably the definitive hardcore statement: that's it, nobody's topped it and nobody ever will. "I'll Never Forget You" alone is more harrowing and painful than anything Black Flag or Minor Threat ever dreamed of. The second LP is rock nirvana. And the whole damn thing ends with what can only be described as the world's first jazz-hardcore instrumental jam ("Reoccurring Dreams") AND IT'S FUCKING AWESOME.
Posted by: Jeff B. at September 16, 2013 10:11 PM (n/+FT)
You forgot 'Electric Ladyland', Hat!
Not that there aren't a ton of others...and I was talking studio stuff.
'Layla and other Assorted Love Songs'
'Zen Arcade'
'Quadrophenia'
'At War With The Mystics'
'The Reality of My Surroundings'
and it might get me panned a bit, but I do love Soundgarden's 'Down on the Upside'
Posted by: garrett at September 16, 2013 10:16 PM (W7L2Q)
- London Calling, The Clash: needs no explanation from me.
- Exile On Main Street, The Rolling Stones: see above. But I will say that fucking love the fact that the last song on this album, "Soul Survivor," is a gritty, down-and-dirty rock song about...life as a pirate on the high seas. Arrr, matey!
- English Settlement, XTC: my favorite art-rock outfit of the late '70s/early '80s, although they grew and changed so much that they're weirdly unclassifiable. This is their best, from right before they quit touring altogether.
- The Beatles, The Beatles: it's the White Album, it's a classic for a reason.
- Blonde On Blonde, Bob Dylan: again, see above. I could do without "Pledging My Time" and "Temporary Like Achilles" and everything else is written in my soul at this point. "Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again" for the win.

Couple things on wiki list I would rank highly, although Siamese Dream isn't listed as a double, although the running length is certainly > 45 mins ...
Chicago Chicago Transit Authority debut 69
LCD Soundsystem eponymous debut 05
Outkast Speakerboxx/The Love Below 03
Prince Sign "O" the Times 87
RHCP Blood Sugar Sex Magick 91 (because history, not a huge fan)
Posted by: Joe at September 16, 2013 10:25 PM (8Prb7)
- Metal Box, Public Image, Ltd.: one of the records that invented postpunk as we know it, and still as uncompromisingly weird (yet great) as the day it was released. Poptones!
- 1999, Prince: people usually go for Sign O' The Times as the Prince double-LP to choose, but I still prefer this one. How can you deny "Little Red Corvette," "Let's Pretend We're Married," "Delirious," and "Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)"? (Oh and the B-sides from this record are every bit as good as the stuff he included.
- Daydream Nation, Sonic Youth: SY is overrated as a group, but the reason they're overrated is because of this record which is pretty much impossible to overrate. Listen to the opening minute of "The Sprawl" or "Candle" or "'Cross The Breeze" and you'll be hooked too.

Oh, if we're gonna get into the live stuff...
'Live After Death' hard to imagine a live LP could capture a performance the way this one does.
'Derek and the Dominoes at the Filmore East' - This just eats up the Allman's Filmore show, imho. Bobby Whitlock and Carl Radle shine on this.
of course, that Little Feat record you mention is an essential live double album.

My favorite Bowie song is "Cygnet Committee" off of Space Oddity. For me it perfectly sums up the resulting dystopia of idealistic hippies coming to power (or hell the French Revolution). The disillusionment and slow build are perfect. The dude could write/perform.

1.) It gets ridiculous if you go to comps, as there are too many. How about Snap! by The Jam or Neil Young's Decade?
2.) Substance by New Order is actually better than Substance by Joy Division. And I say this as a person who has literally every single thing ever recorded AND EVERY CONCERT EVER PERFORMED up to 1985 or so by both bands. JD were better in the sense that every single thing they did in a studio is a must-own, but honestly I just plain enjoy NO (up until 1987 or so) more.

When you're talking about "massively awesome double albums", I think most people are thinking about classes 3 and 4 from my post at 621, with a slight edge toward 4. There are worthy live albums (e.g. Feat's "Columbus") and worthy retrospectives (e.g. Skynyrd's "Gold and Platinum")....but fully-developed concepts that are bigger than one album (Genesis "Lamb", Floyd "Wall") or primal eruptions of talent (e.g. Beatles "White Album", Prince "1999", Dylan "Blonde on blonde") steal the show.
Posted by: cthulhu at September 16, 2013 11:00 PM (T1005)
I here you on NO Substance, and I almost brought it up in addition. I guess I can say I migrated over time from more of a NO fan, on account of the depressiveness, to a preference for JD, as I came to appreciate the rawness and clarity of the sound. I gave a way a vinyl "Closer" not too long after buying it new. It was probably the NIN cover of Dead Souls that turned me, and why I sought out Substance, which is now frustratingly missing and my rip is skippy.
I need to get a copy of Snap!

Scene: honky-tonk bar, after midnight, noise over in the middle.....darker, quieter drinkin' at the end of the bar.
There's a dusty, lined, rough man in the shadows out at the very edge, wearing a cowboy hat, slowly sippin' on a glass of whiskey. Not his first, not his last....the one he has now.
A young woman, avoiding the crowds, takes the stool next to him and signals the barkeep. After taking a big gulp from the mixed concoction she is served, she turns to the man and says, "hope you don't mind me crowdin' in here. What do you do?"
He thinks a minute and replies, "I'm a cowboy. I take cattle out to the range and bring 'em back again. I birth 'em, brand 'em, keep 'em safe for years, and ship 'em off for slaughter." There is a beat, until he remembers his manners......"How 'bout you?"
She looks a bit perplexed for a moment, but decides to ride gamely on -- "I'm a lesbian. I get up in the morning, and think about women; I go through my day and think about touching them, holding them; I go to sleep at night and dream about women." ......but her nerve fails her, and she blurts out, "oh, is that Dianne?" and scurries off to the other side of the room.
Time passes.
A while later, a tired-looking businessman sidles up to the bar. Seating himself, he turns to the man with the cowboy hat and says, "hope you don't mind me crowdin' in here. What do you do?"
There's an even longer pause, and then the reply: "well, up until this evening, I thought of myself as a cowboy.....but now, I think I might be a lesbian."

A little background to this.
It is cosmic incomprehensible bullshit to try to brand Republicans with oppressing blacks. Martin Luther King, jr. was a Republican; Republicans (Lincoln) freed the slaves in the first place; the KKK was vigilante Democrats, and civil rights legislation pushed by Republicans managed to be enacted when Democrat resistance was fractured.
Which explains why I can honor MLK and so thoroughly despise Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton....because I, too, dream of a world where we "live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Anyway, this sets up a Thurgood Marshall anecdote. In case one needs reminding, he was the first African-American Supreme Court justice and had successfully argued a number of cases before the court, including the monumental "Brown v. Board of Education", which overturned "separate, but equal."
So the story goes that on his first day of real work, showing up to the Supreme Court, he said, "How's it hangin', Chiefie-baby?" to the notoriously stuck-up Chief Justice. So, whenever I say, "how's it hangin'?" -- that's who I'm thinking of.

A short summary of the current flameout might be, "laws were passed to maintain order but also to establish a dominant paradigm....until they were passed to establish a dominant paradigm and possibly maintain order.....which soon became a debate between raw power and the ideology of the paradigm....which was won by the exercise of lawless power. The roots are easy to see -- the very first "exemptions" and "deferrals" from Obamacare have no basis in the law, whatsoever.
