Happy Monday.

The agency that should be abolished told Congress last year that the case of a field office using mentally disabled teens in a failed sting operation and then arresting them for their participation was "an isolated case of inadequate supervision." It wasn't.

Covered California, the state's Obamacare exchange, gave consumers' personal information to insurance agents even though the consumers opted out of such information sharing. It was for their own good, you see: "I can imagine some people may be upset. . . . But I can see a lot of people will be comforted and relieved at getting the help they need to navigate a confusing process."

Oh, and the Obama administration no longer wants you to use paper forms to try and sign up for Obamacare. There isn't time enough to process them before the deadline.

Yet another state Obamacare exchange confesses it's having the same problems as the federal exchange website.

1 Good Morning Morons.  Today is Monday, December 09, 2013.  On this day in 1958 the John Birch society was founded.  They have often got a bad rep from the MFM because they were founded primarily to fight Communism in the US and all things that smell of Communism.  Since that has long been a favorite Party of the MFM they opposed it.

And I am having problems with my router again this morning so I am direct connected.

2 You Morons in the NE are going to have a tough time getting in to work this morning.  I recommend a day off.  It's 39° here; pretty much what it was all day yesterday and still drizzling rain.

16 Gillibrand's military rape bill will not pass under normal rules so Democrats plan another slight of hand to get around the rules.  Nobody is "for" rape of military folks, but nobody with any common sense wants to take prosecution of said cases out of the military chain of command.  Not only is it bad for this kind of case but it would open the floodgates for all other cases as well.  There is a reason the military is under the UCMJ and a separate legal system.

57 I've had one experience with BATF and it wasn't a positive one, although it happened years ago during the Clinton era.

My pricy Walther TPH had a mechanical failure at an indoor range/gun shop and I had the gun shop send it back to Interarms for repair.  When it was returned, it was stolen by one of the store owners (my research showed UPS signature had verified delivery), but the owners claimed the gun was never sent back.

Local LE was disturbingly uninterested, so I called ATF in Miami to alert them to a FFL who was stealing customer guns.  They too were disturbingly uninterested. 

I was unimpressed.

Lots of things cause mental disability, including pot smoking.  Or it could be any of a number of  mental "conditions" that get people declared disabled these days, which just means they are members of  the Obama FSA.

In other words, don't go assuming  just because a newspaper  suggests  the ATF is using mentally retarded "kids" in their sting operations that these supposed kids are not guilty of what they were arrested for.

Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.  Thanks for the morning briefing, Vic.

 

 

Last week I mentioned the photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston and Ziegfeld Girls.  TodayÂ’s story is a little off the usual Hollywood path, but it is a show business story.  If it were a Nero Wolfe mystery, it would be called “The Case of the Broken Butterfly.”

 

 

It was a chilly March 15th in 1923.  In a plush fourth floor bachelorette apartment five minutes from the bright lights of Broadway, maid Billie Bradford found her mistress, Ziegfeld Girl Dot King, sprawled lifeless on her bed.  Miss Bradford went for a policeman - but not before taking a pair of men's yellow silk pajamas off a nearby chair and stuffing them under a couch cushion.
 

 

When the ambulance arrived, the young intern answering the call said it looked like suicide.  But the chief medical examiner, Dr. Charles Norris, disagreed, pointing out King's twisted right arm jammed behind her back.  Spying an empty chloroform bottle in the bedroom, he detected a robbery-murder.
 

 

Robbery it certainly was - a $15,000 ruby necklace was missing, along with another $30,000 worth of expensive gifts including two diamond bracelets and a diamond-and-emerald-studded wrist watch.  But murder?
 

 

Dot's mother certainly thought so.  In fact, she was certain who'd done the deed, too - a Latin lover named Alberto Santos Guimares.  Dot kept Alberto in luxurious splendor, said momma, giving him spending money, paying all of his bills and getting nothing but black eyes in return.  But the swarthy playboy had an alibi; he was doing the speakeasy rounds all night, he insisted.  If the police wanted to arrest him for violating the Volstead Act, that was fair enough.  But he insisted he had never come near Dot King on the night of the 14th.
 

 

Dot, a stunner with an hourglass body, a doll's face and Trilby feet, had her choice of men - sugar daddies, playboys, stage-door Johnnies and big butter-and-egg men.  Some gave her roses; others gave her money or diamonds.  But all of them wrote to her, passionate, pleading, soppy letters designed to tug at her heart.
 

 

One of them seemed to offer a clue:  "Darling Dottie," it read, "Only two more days before I will be with you.  I want to see you, O so much!  And to kiss your pretty pink toes. . ."  When traced, the letter turned out to be the prose of a Philadelphia Main Line swain named J. Kearsley Mitchell.
 

 

Yes, the letter was his, Mitchell admitted.  And yes, he had seen Dot on the 14th; both he and his attorney had spent the day with her, all three in Manhattan's swankiest bôites]/i], and then Mitchell and King privately in her boudoir.  But King swore that when he left her at 2.30 in the morning (after tucking his usual $1,000 bill under her pillow), she was alive.  And since the time of death was fixed as after 2.30, an abashed Mitchell was allowed to go home.
 

 

And with that, the investigation petered out.  Over the years, the King murder would be active again as new leads or witnesses came forward, but in the end, no one ever discovered who killed Dot King, the Broadway Butterfly.

 

 

And here she is.  Not to everyoneÂ’s taste (not mine, certainly), but she obviously had “It:”

IÂ’ve read – even at the link – that three movies were based on the King case, but I have no idea what they are.  Sorry.

 

 

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

>>But liberal idiots want an even more stupid law on the books now. They want to make it illegal for men to look at women. Is this the first step in putting women in those black bags they have in the Middle East?

No. It seems to be the reverse, where they believe that women should be able to wear whatever they want (Slut Walks) and behave however they want (treat sex like men, get drunk at parties, etc.) while at the same time men are not allowed to judge them (slut-shaming!), make assumptions about their availability (how dare you assume I want sex just because I'm drunk, dancing topless on the bar at 2:00am!), or apparently, even look at them.

More of the boys and men are no longer allowed to act or even think like boys and men.

There are 600,000 in the US alone with the same genetic disease that I have. Every person with diabetes would be considered to have a pre-existing condition along with a whole list of other conditions. Now in my case, my condition is handled by another law that prohibits discrimination (for lack of a better term) against anyone with a genetic condition. It means that I can't be denied insurance because of it. The idea being that genetic conditions are not controllable and are not the fault of the sufferer.

Not all of the new Medicaid enrollees were looking for a handout. The Obamacare site *automatically* enrolls users if they qualify; they are given no other insurance plan options to choose from , they just get a message that they're  enrolled. Fox news profiled a guy this happened to and he was pissed - called the 1-800-F1uckyou line and was told sorry, we can't un-enroll you. The guy has millions in assets (but a current low salary) and knos he should not be using (or wanting) Medicaid, but thanks to a provision in Obamacare that eliminates disqualification based on personal assets he's in.

And is it a surprise to also hear that the website has been enrolling people who don't even qualify? The Medicaid numbers are by design (based on how the site is configured), and not necessarily because so many greedy people

Yep. They'll make it easy for you by just not covering certain care/treatments for defective newborns.

Which means you have no idea what the truth  is.  Yet.

Weather here in Northern MA - around 3.00am there was nothing.  By 5.00, a dusting of snow which will probably pile up to about an inch before the temperature goes into the 40s and it starts to rain.  But then more snow - 1-2" - tomorrow night and cold weather through the rest of the week.  I absolutely have to bring my bike in for winter storage this weekend, even if it means freezing my fingers off.

156 Funny thing about the Steve Spurier hate.  I was wearing a Gamecocks "GO COCKS" T-shirt in the supermarket and a woman asked "Do you think they will win?"  I replied "I hope so."  Then I told her that I moved here in 2005 and at the time everyone acted like Spurier coming to USC was the second coming (of Christ) and  he still hasn't brought home a National Championship.   She replied that before him, the Gamecocks had 0-20 streaks.   Perspective.

Just followed an Insty link to DKos.  Now I've got to dip my modem in Lysol.  They're freaking out over Levin's Art V convention, with the usual "teabagger" and "right wing asshole" vomits, all the while complaining about talk radio creating a lack of civil discourse.

 

One of the posters posited that, if the Liberty Amendments were passed, there would be revolution and blood in the streets, but it would be good.  You see, the teabaggers are outgunned, because while the left has lots of allies, the right has none, so the UN would be patrolling down Main Street to put down the rebellion.  And the DK smiles would last for years.

 

Had an old high school friend whom I haven't seen in about five years.  The last time we were together, he cited DK as a source.  I told him he might as well cite soiled toilet paper as a source, because the intellectual content was the same.  That was the end of that.

Covered California, the state's Obamacare exchange, gave consumers' personal information to insurance agents even though the consumers opted out of such information sharing. It was for their own good, you see: "I can imagine some people may be upset. . . . But I can see a lot of people will be comforted and relieved at getting the help they need to navigate a confusing process."

 

 

Oh, and the Obama administration no longer wants you to use paper forms to try and sign up for Obamacare. There isn't time enough to process them before the deadline.

 

 

Yet another state Obamacare exchange confesses it's having the same problems as the federal exchange website.

 

 

 

 

And the intransigence of our "betters" in DC    against   repealing   this monstrosity and stripping it off the books   for good becomes ever more revolting.   People are being HURT.  This is not some game with little to no impact on everyday   Americans.   This has to END.

Here's the actual comment:

 

This is crackpot business  without any chance of occurring in our lifetime, mainly because it would result in real violence in the streets, and actual partisan bloodshed by the gallons; I mean any attempt to install apartheid policies - and that's exactly what this insane gimmick amounts to - and we'd end up with a balkanized country.

 

I know that's what they think they want, but the problem is that they're outmanned, and outgunned, with nobody in the world they can turn to for help, while quite literally the rest of the world, that is every nation on earth, has a bone to pick with them. Imagine UN peacekeepers patrolling the streets of Mississippi with blue helmets and APCs.

 

The smiles would last forever.

 

So, let's all take a deep breath, return to reality, ignore the trolls, and forget about Mark Levin, his stupid face, and his silly ideas.

 

Crap like this makes me want to hunt down this asshole and give him a buckshot bukkake.

He did not support sanctions because he thought it would hurt black africans. Posted by: Dr. Jesse Pinkman at December 09, 2013 08:46 AM (h4eud) IN the early-80s when the anti-apartheid movement here was going full bore, there was a single statistic that undermined their efforts. In sub-Saharan Africa, blacks were flocking to SA despite apartheid. The reason: It was the only country with jobs. The "free" countries had turned into kleptocracies and had destroyed the economy in the name of revenge. Reagan wasn't stupid. He understood that you can't strangle a country to death and hope to effect change. You need to encourage them to change peacefully.

218 Wasn't there a book about UN's debased activities called Emergency Sex...?  Not exactly about the SMURFS but the bureaucrats who are sent to things like natural disasters.

Most nations who send troops to wear the blue like Fiji are basically renting their soldiers out as Hessians for income.  Thus I seriously doubt they would enjoy actually being mercenaries who would have to carry out military actions.

219 213 Crap like this makes me want to hunt down this asshole and give him a buckshot bukkake. Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at December 09, 2013 09:02 AM (zF6Iw) Meh. Better to just buckle down and make an Article V convention a reality. THAT would be something; to actually take back the country and put in some safeguards to at least making a repeat of the last 100 years that much more difficult.

Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at December 09, 2013 09:02 AM (zF6Iw) And by the way, from the level of frothing at the mouth and proclamations of "this would never happen" indicates that the deviant in question who wrote that actually fears the real possibility of it actually happening. No, I don't mean his fantasy of blood in the streets, but of a restoration of the Constitution and the Republic. His post reeks of fear.

221 "... a few million Chinese soldiers, if it came to it. ..." Which side? They might want to protect their American 'investment'! :/ Besides direct confrontation, I can imagine the subtle material sabotage the prankster population of America can pull. Anyway, first they'll have to come through California, and if they survive the Great San Fran Slapfest, and the Mexican Drug Gangs Battle for LA, then we'll greet them with our wickedest weapons: buckets of Chick Fil-A, beaucoup Big Macs and Big Gulps, 24/7 Wal-Marts and liquor stores. hm... I blathered on a bit; nood up meanwhile?

I'd wager that several hundred pages of the PP-ACA contain nothing but the phrase:

"The party of the first part shall hereafter be referred to as the party of the first part."

When Ocare facilitators call, they are required to ask in a nasally voice, "Is this the party to whom I am speaking?".

226 I hope everyone's commutes this morning were okay.   In my section of NH it's not too bad, but the roads are slick enough that I was going slower than I usually do even in a typical snow storm.   One car on my journey had    gone too fast on one of the    many deceptively soft turns on my road (deceptive because it's actually hella sharp and you    have to take it sloooow) and ended up grill-down in the craterous drainage ditch there on the side of the road.    I couldn't see anyone when I looked in the window -- which was hard, given the undercarriage of the car was facing the road and made it damn hard to peer inside.  There didn't seem to be any damage (well, beyond being nose down in a drainage ditch) so I hope everyone was okay.

227 "Which side? They might want to protect their American 'investment'! :/ "

Good question. Am I foreseeing anything like this happening?  Not really...at least I hope not. All I'm saying is, I put nothing past the leftists in power if they perceive a REAL threat that they cannot deflect or destroy by means of the media. If some fool on Koz or wherever can blissfully masturbate to the idea of foreign troops killing patriots, I have no doubt there are those more closely related to the policymaking machinery who are way ahead of him.

228 @ Whoever (TNTC) and old microbiology term referring to pathogens growing on a slide that means 'Too Numerous too count" Armed Blue UN helmets patrolling the streets and gunning down people in the US? Ahhhhhhh, Bring it on! I can't wait! My trigger finger is itching! Even the Japs were afraid to invade mainland US ergo the cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor. A disputed quote from a famous Jap Admiral, Isoroku Yamamoto....."You cannot invade the mainland US, there would be a rifle pointed at you behind every blade of grass!" That is most likely a miss-attributed quote but true none the less. The real scuttlebutt is from a meeting in `1960 aboard the USS Constellation between our admirals and their Japanese counterparts 15 years after VJ day. One of our Admirals asked a Japanese admiral about why they did not invade the US mainland in WWII knowing we unprepared. He replied (I am paraphrasing) that they knew about gun ownership in the US and level of marksmanship and did not want to step into that quicksand!

And The Butler claiming that the W.H. butler quit because Reagan wouldn't sign the bill is a lie; the real butler loved Reagan... the Reagans' photo is the only presidential one he kept in his house; and Reagan was the only president to have invited him to a state dinner as a guest.
