— Gabriel Malor Happy Monday.
ICYMI, WaPo had a piece on how the White House let politics destroy its Obamacare rollout.
The President will be spending some time this week campaigning for Obamacare. No, the website's not fixed yet. He's got one answer for everything -- a speech -- and, by Golly, if that's all he can do then that's all he'll do.
National Journal's Ron Founier doesn't think Obama has learned anything from the failed Obamacare rollout and expects more "insularity, incompetence, and deception" as things get worse.
Megan McArdle picks apart the latest Democratic lie that people who get their insurance through their employers are unaffected by the Obamacare disaster.

I'm sure in his speech Obama will talk about howno one is as angry as he and how he will not rest until someone is held respsonsible. You know, just like the Tea Party/IRS, NSA and Benghazi.

I'm seriously pissed off today (okay, so that's maybe not new).
Another week starts, and what do we have? A bunch of pundits, anal-ysts and prognosticators, each one with his own take on how some superficial part of Choom Boy's Plan to Fuck Up America has some little glitch, and makes him look not-quite-so-wonderful until it a) gets more money, b) is fixed by Google or c) gets a nice compromise from teh Eeeeeeevil Rethuglikkkans so it is Free to Save the World.
In short, since President Historic First© came wandering out of Illinois in a haze of choom smoke, he has faced a storm of mild criticism. All with no result, mainly because none of those who are paid to observe his little foibles have the balls -- or the love-for-country -- necessary to draw a damn conclusion and get behind a push to throw the Chicago Jesus's miserable treasonous ass out of office.
We're fighting fire with paper. Taking a water pistol to a .50 cal fight. Fiddling while the United States burns. Insert your favorite simile here.
Okay, so yeah, I'm a little upset. I can't believe this kind of limp-wristed detachment would have occurred 50 years ago. I don't want to believe it.

Why not? Education is personal, and it is. Food is personal, and it is. My toilet, the bulb in my reading light, I could keep going but it's all too depressing.
The tyranny may not have been obvious until recently when the ratchet got really tight all of a sudden, but it started before I was born.

One deer, two cars.
Driving to breakfast yesterday a deer jumped out in front of my wife's 2012 GMC Acadia (I was driving). I hit it with the left front doing about 12 to 15K in damage.
At the same moment, a woman was traveling in the opposite direction and hit the same deer as it bounced off of my car. Honda Accord totaled. Nobody hurt.
The deer didn't come out too well either.

But if Ike, or JFK, or even that crook Johnson had represented as real and basic a threat to the existence of the country as Choom Boy, there would have been a pushback.
Hard to imagine that JFK's bumbling, which almost resulted in a mushroom cloud or two during the Missile Crisis has been eclipsed....

People objected. But Johnson sold the "war on poverty" and the carrying on of the legacy of the dead Kennedy.
How dare anyone object to that? People tried, but... well, see the Goldwater election campaign, for one.

The toll system you're talking about is old-tech, JJ. I had a tiny part in the marketing of one such system in the early 1990s, all drawn from its manufacturer's defense electronics work.
At least they didn't attach a missile battery to each toll plaza as "enforcement." I can see Choom Boy advocating that.

Indeed!
Good morning everyone.
I haven't finished that WaPo article yet, but I see the continuation in there of a meme the libtards are trying to push that implementation of Obamacare is all the fault of the states that refused to do their own exchanges. That's just bullshit.
From a project design perspective, it shouldn't matter how many states are on the federal exchange. Each state has its own discreet offerings, but presented to the web site user the same. They could have designed the site for a single state and simply had a sub-site for each state.
Shit.. they could have simply bought the code from one of the states that did it right!
What a bunch of fuckups.

Right, that's what I meant. In response to Heather's question, Goldwater was trying to make the case AGAINST bigger government, but he wasn't being heard. The combination of JFK's death, and the fact that the R party was evenly split (gee, that sounds familiar) between conservatives and reach around across the aisle types made in damn near impossible for any coherent message against the coming government expansion to get through.

"Also, check your insurance policies, not all of them cover damage to a car caused by a deer. Expect to pay a deductible, because even though it's the deers fault, your insurance can't collect from its insurance, so you're out."
We're going to see how the insurance works later today.
I've got 6 cars, 2 houses, boats, trailers and toys, along with personal liability all through Allstate with what suppose to be gold-plated policies. This agent has been making a fairly good living off of my premiums, so I hope he'll earn his money.

The problem with English and European nativism is that recent experience shows us that it may end badly.
Of course it's a completely different situation, and Islam is in fact degrading Western culture, but most of the message is coming from the knuckle-dragging, booger-eating fools on the far end of the sanity spectrum.

The obvious fear of hyper-nationalism has blinded the left in Europe the undeniable fact that people like borders and fences and neighborhoods and being around like-minded people.
The trick is to structure the political process, and therefore society, so that it is contained, and allowed to create growth and vibrancy and wealth rather than xenophobia.
That was, until recently, the magic of American Exceptionalism.

I don't think Preznit Jarrett waits for shit to pass. She just grabs Barky by his jug ear, and tells him to make it so. "By his Royal Decree, all doctors herewith and henceforth shall be reimbursed with the Royal script. They may find their payment on their Royal EBT cards."
It has to just gall them that they can only push (so far) docs to take part in their harebrained scheme. I have no doubt they'll be ruthless, but that would expose them even more to the lo-fo masses.

Megan McArdle picks apart the latest Democratic lie that people who get their insurance through their employers are unaffected by the Obamacare disaster.
It's like Obammy decided to unilaterally delay the employer mandate for a reason or something. Like maybe because that will be many, many times more damaging than the immediate consequences of the individual mandate, and he wanted to push it back far enough that the nitty gritty of Obammycare will be in full swing by the time it kicks into effect, making it that much harder to repeal this monster of a "law."
Gosh. It's almost like a conspiracy or something. What's a conspiracy called that's actually based in facts and actions? Oh right, a PLAN.

Obammy doesn't believe in any particular religion because they all require a belief in a power greater than one's self, be that a deity, a pantheon of deities, or a state of consciousness. Since, to Obammy, there is nothing greater than himself, he is a monotheistic believer in the Church of Barack. He just pretends to care about other religions because it keeps the plebes happy.

Probably. As well as realizing she was nothing more than JFKs jiz-jar.
I've got a recent bio of MM that makes a list of all the meds she was on at the time of her death. I'll see if I can find it and post it tomorrow. She was a very lonely, unhappy woman, but she was also flighty, paranoid and - in my opinion - suffering from at least a touch of the mental disease that plagued her mother's side of the family. As much as it's sad to look at her and wish someone could have saved her, I don't think any man could have.
BTW, just as an aside, I based my novels' relationship between Theda Bara and Toby, her makeup man, on the close friendship between MM and her makeup man, Whitey Snyder.

Meghan McArdle's an idiot to float nonsense like that without context.

How about the increased premiums as a result of PPACA?
That "80%" is very much affected by Obamacare.

Yes, Carol. Vic's fine. He was just sitting in his rocking chair, remembering the good old days when he and Abe Lincoln would split a few rails and then chase some tail. I don't know where he is today; he is expecting a great-grandchild, so that might be the reason. Or he's just rockin' and a-pickin' and a-grinnin'.

For a cancer patient, medical coverage is a matter of life and death.
Take away people's ability to control their medical-coverage choices and
they may die. I guess that's a highly effective way to control medical
costs. Perhaps that's the point."
It's these folks you really feel sorry for. Ogabe's mess just makes life all the more stressful. Also heard of another case where the parents of an infant with a chronic heart condition have been told they can no longer use their cardiologist's practice.

Well, Snyder and MM weren't lovers, but they were very close. He did her first makeup tests when she joined Twentieth Century-Fox and stayed with her to the end. In fact, she made him promise that when she died, he would do her makeup for the funeral. And one of the first calls DiMaggio made after her death was to Snyder: "Whitey, you're going to to her makeup, aren't you? You promised her." And he did.
DiMaggio tried.
Yes he did. But note this. The day they got married, Marilyn said to one of her friends, "I'm going to marry Arthur Miller." Here's the thing: her first marriage to Jim Daugherty was fairly happy (although Daugherty said that she was insatiable when it came to sex, wanting it constantly). I think if he had not joined the service and she had not become a model, she would have led a more or less content life as an ordinary (if MILFy) housewife. But we'll never know.

So, can someone explain to me what the hell is going on with the Miami Dolphins and Richie Incognito? It went from, "This is odd," to, "WTF?" in less than 24 hours, and I still can't get a handle on what the heck is happening.
I did love the tweet Greeny read on Mike and Mike this morning, which said something to the effect of, "So the veteran players are running an extortion ring against the rookies who don't have as much cash." Greeny's response was, "That's a bit harsh," and my response to that was, "But 100% true."

I still think there's a strong probability that her death was an accidental overdose and/or a bad reaction between all the medications she was on.

I have a very sick feeling that hidden in all of the provisions of the Affordable Crap Act are incentives for parents and doctors to NOT proceed with pregnancies that may involve "the least of these". And to deny treatment for those who do live.

Who's that? Beatty or Nicholson?
Anyway, so far as the abortions, I don't know that a dozen is correct, but she certainly had plenty and did regret it, because she genuinely loved children. But her lovers (not her husbands) loved sex more. The writer Jim Goad once said something along the lines of her being, to men, nothing more than a talking vagina. Which leads me to a nasty / sad story, which you're free to skip over.
It's unconfirmed (meaning that, while people have claimed to have been there or seen pictures, no real proof has turned up) that, towards the "Mr. President" days, Marilyn and Frank Sinatra were at the Cal-Neva Lodge in Nevada. Also there was mob boss Sam Giancana. As a gift, a drugged-up, drunk-off-her-ass Marilyn was presented for Giancana's entertainment; pictures of the two in bed and (yuck) pictures of him riding her as she crawled around the room naked on all fours are said to exist.
How can you expect a living blowup doll to be normal in any way?
