— Gabriel Malor Happy Friday.
The Minnesota Obamacare exchange, which is seeing the full gamut of Obamacare website problems, had another little problem last month: its director took a vacation to Costa Rica right in the middle of the failed rollout. I suspect this vacation had been scheduled ("financial commitments were made") in some happier day when the exchange director thought everything was going to be hunky-dory after the October 1 launch. She's basically Sec. Sebelius on a smaller scale.
The White House is signaling its openness to letting Islamist groups join the Syrian rebel coalition. They have to promise to actually want peace, though. Oh, and "the Americans would like the Islamic Front groups to return U.S. vehicles, communications gear and other non-lethal equipment they seized last weekend from warehouses at the Syria-Turkey border." "Seized" is a more politic way of saying "stole," I think.
A UN team has determined that chemical weapons were used at least five times in Syria in attacks against . . . government soldiers and citizens.
Mike Huckabee has quit his radio show and is preparing to run for president again. My take: good. He can't win the primary, but he can suck up a lot of funding and support from fringe types, thus deterring and hamstringing other long-shot politicians considering a run.
Last night the House overwhelmingly voted to approve the Ryan-Murray budget deal, 332-94. The GOP breakdown was 169-62, easily satisfying the Hastert Rule. Speaker Boehner ends the year much stronger than he began it, and he's taken the possibility of shutdown in 2014 and 2015 off the table, assuming the Senate passes it today. We discuss this deal in depth on the podcast, which will be up later.
Here's a cover from a nice Mormon boy and some Canadian dude:
Have a great weekend.

I also suspect that the school had been notified by their lawyers that a sexual harassment charge was bullshit.
The legal aspects per US code:
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when:
1. submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment,
2. submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individuals, or
3. such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. (29 C.F.R. § 1604.11 [1980])
#3 is the closest they could get and they would have a hard time making that stick from a 6 y.o.

On Friday, police in Raleigh arrested Leonardo Miranda Garcia, 25, <an illegal> after he reportedly raped a girl under the age of 13.
The state of North Carolina is currently experiencing a virtual crime wave at the hands of illegal aliens, due in large measure to the fact that all of the state's major cities now have 'sanctuary' policies in place, shielding illegal aliens from detection and deportation.
Despite the overwhelming objections from the citizens of the Tarheel State, officials have gone out of their way to lay out the welcome mat for illegal aliens...
How about citizens lay out the unwelcome mat for "officials".
And make sure you read the titles of all the "related articles".

Fish are less horny now because of warming. Is there nothing that is not impacted by non-warming? But I can tell you this much, the fish may not be reproducing as much now. But it is due to cooling, not warming. I have noted that at lakes that have very warm discharges into the lake, such as power plant cooling discharge, the fish congregate at the point of entry to the lake of the warm water. IOW, they like it.

I am not sure I agree with this for two reasons. (1) There is no provision for it in the law, thus closing out any arguments we have with Obama's violations and (2) It helps Obama and pulls the rug out from under Republicans. What we should be doing is arguing for full repeal at every step. And let the people suffer. Remember what Obama and Roberts said, elections have consequences.

I think the NC GOP leadership is fairly new so they haven't been tested yet on this score. The fact that they are contesting this at all is an indication that they are not like the normal GOP pussy leadership.
Of course they will get NOTHING from the national GOP.

Nothing "liberal" about him; he thinks gov't should be monitoring your food intake (because his inability to monitor his own makes him feel bad and he projects that onto everyone else, just like Bloomberg and Mooch do). He's a totalitarian with a little red Bible.

He also raised taxes and increased spending, among other things. And being a petty tyrant on personal issues is the sign of a Fascist which is a socialist and liberal.
That is unless you go by the classical definition of liberal which very few people do, and nobody in the MFM does.

Seems to me there was a similar effort made to derail the original Senate vote on ChoomCare, too, but then Bitch McConnell realized Christmas was comin' and he might not get home for his presents if the vote was delayed any longer.
So he licked Hairy Reid's boots and the rest is, well, history....
Teh Kraut and Teh Noot seem to think this "budget" is a winner. After all, Potty Murray teamed up with Noted Conservative Paul Ryan to lovingly craft it. Reaching Across the Aisle!!11!!eleventy!!!

>>>There is no way actuatially or politcally to stave off the catastrophe.
If you run an amortization on the debt we would have to cut spending by 1 trillion dollars and either do a combination of further cuts and tax increases and spend 850 billion dollars a year for 30 years to pay off the debt we have racked up.
Oh and we have 100t in unfinded liabilites to contend with.
.
.
.Correct. Even if you cut the budget right now by 10% (and we all know that won't happen) and freeze it at that level forever, it still won't be enough.
Pretty soon interest rates are going to start creeping up no matter what the Fed does and when they get to normal levels of ~3-4% just servicing the interest on the debt will take over 50% of all Federal incoming revenues a few years into that cycle. There is a reason the Fed is keeping interest rates at zero as long as they can, and it has nothing to do with encouraging companies to borrow.
Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid which are already increasing by leaps and bounds will take up the rest.

That's sure what we got last November. I hate to rag on Romney because I'm sure that he's a good person and infinitely preferable to Gaylord Focker on anything in life; but he was just a terrible candidate who personified everything I hate about the Repuke party. It's being repeated by Johnny Boehner who stands for absolutely nothing but not getting in the way of the 404Care meltdown by distracting from it by actually being a principled opposition. That's a very short sighted policy but fits in well with the Rove strategy of standing for nothing but getting elected and then spending money like drunk sailors.

What fascinates me is the "conservative" talking class all giddy with glee that this will keep Obamacare in the headlines, as if the Dems are powerless to do anything in the face of the Mighty Ryan Sellout.
Again, all Reid has to do is demagogue the issue and the GOP will be back scrambling to give up even more ground, just like they did in October.
Biggest blind spot in the so-called GOP leadership and their apologists is the concept that the opponent is on a static fixed course.

Bush wasn't a piker when it comes to spending money. We overlook that because the economy was better and he didn't hate the country. But without his and Rove's throwing cash at everything we probably don't get the disasters of 2006 and 2008.

Boehner is simply a terrible communicator. He doesn't have the ability or skill to take a battle head on and make the Republicans look like the good guys by explaining their position. I've been imagining how different things would be if Newt was in his place, unwilling to take any crap from the media. Or Pelosi, who couldn't keep her plastic mug off the TV and her mouth from spewing constant incendiary comments about the R's. Boehner can't argue a point and sound convincing and steadfast to save his life.

In Sweden, December 13th is the Feast of Saint Lucia, the Christian martyr who is celebrated as one who brings light to a darkened world. Of course, it is dark in Sweden most of the day in the wintertime, so Lucia Day is a festival of lights and candles.
Traditionally, each village selects a beautiful young girl to represent Lucia, by wearing a robe of white tied with a red sash, and wearing a wreath of lingonberry leaves in her hair, entwined with lit candles. She is joined by other young ones and there are processions through the street.
Similarly, each family selects its youngest daughter to be Lucia for the day, and this girl wears the same costume and is responsible for bringing coffee and Lussekatter (saffron Lucia buns) to mama and papa in bed.
In our house, we substituted battery operated candles for the real thing. We didn't want to risk our daughter going up in flames.
Here is a Lucia procession with traditional Swedish carol

And here is a recipe for Lucia buns: (scroll down)

So they all looked the other way and giggled like a bunch of drunk nympho tramps when the endless sham lawsuits started rolling in which almost bankrupted him, similar to the Palin treatment. So we ended up with a useless turd like Hastert; kind of like a sober Boehner.

My congresscritter voted for it, like the good little party functionary she is.

I would suggest really deep down, most of the hate is not for the lawyers themselves, but for the necessity for having to have a lawyer.
Our laws having been written by lawyers, are written in such a byzantine way, purposefully using lawyerese as a languange unto itself, that the only way to deal with it is to hire a lawyer to navigate it.
One might be tempted to think that this was done on purpose. Kind of like the way the BAR operates and "polices" lawyers and judges.
A parallel example would be if somehow our legislatures were taken over by Russians. And then those Russians wrote all the laws in Russian. This would require mugs to hire a Russian to deal with and translate any legal matter, neh?
Nice rackett isn't it? I REALLY dislike our court system. But being what it is, if I have to deal with it, I want the ugliest, meanest, dirtiest SOB lawyer I can get.

Good analogy.
I've been an observer in courtrooms many many times, and one of the fascinating things to watch is the difference between a person who stands before a judge, both of whom allegedly speak English, and a person who stands NEXT TO A LAWYER in front of a judge.
If the poor bastage stands there and says "your honor, I didn't do it," it's like the judge doesn't understand the words coming out of his mouth. But if the guy's lawyer says "your honor, my client didn't do it," suddenly all sorts of things start to happen, in favor of said poor bastage standing in front of the judge.
It's amazing to watch, when it's not you who is being stared down by the cold eyes of "justice."

I am really wondering why the GOP exists.
The left is openly at war with my Faith the GOP does nothing.
The left undermines a sound economy and is waging a neo-religious holy war on industry the GOP does nothing.
If we are to be entangled in foreign affairs I would prefer that my values and American economic necessities be aided the left wants to help radical muslims for "fairness" the GOP in fact does not do nothing which would be bad enough but in fact cheers Ogabe's foreign policy "genius."
So far as I can see the GOP exists to relieve me of my excess money and roll over.

I don't see any reason why GOP Senators should vote for this budget deal. They were not part of making the deal and they have no reason to trust Patty Murray on anything. McConnell was the architect of the sequester and I don't blame him one bit for voting against a deal that kills it. His opposition is about that and not really about having a primary opponent who is losing to him 3-1 in the polls.

That's doing some serious fracturing of history where you're assuming some things would have remained static in a dynamic environment. Usually it's the left that does that. Just for starters, there probably wouldn't have been a Molotov Ribbentrop Pact which would have meant fighting a two front war almost immediately.
I'm not saying you're wrong because I don't know how things would've shaken out ultimately. What I am saying is that a Revolution which killed at least 100 million people shouldn't be thought of as a good thing.

Three words I almost never read/hear. And I'm looking forward to the season finale.

Stereo Hell, imagine if he's one of those tone-deaf sing-a-long dudes.

Boehner also made a point of telling conservatives to fuck off and die.
Clearly, he covets a promotion to House minority leader.

In other words, he's a Democrat.

Marco Rubio stated on Levin's show that he isn't voting for the budget deal. Neither is McConnell so Boehner's pathetic need to try to characterize opposition as only by conservatives is frankly wrong.
Either the Cuban Combover and the Bitch are idiots, or they think we are.

Alternatively in your scenario..... Hitler would have rolled through Russia and bumped up against The Chinese and the Indians. Still fighting a two front war.

What I was looking for was evidence from his record that he is not conservative. I have the hazy impression that he is animated by the idea of "therapeutic " government and not smaller, less intrusive government.Posted by: Mindy at December 13, 2013 08:19 AM (GRLuN)
Reliable sources have it that nobody gives a fuck.
