Horse Feathers!

Obama: Bad apple insurance companies are to blame for all this losing of plans you liked
Mr. President, your bill requires everyone to buy a one size fits all insurance policy so those with policies that don't fit the one size lose them. You and your Democrats decided what fits all. Insurance companies were in it as far as getting a captive customer base but you, Mr. President, decided what form said one size policy would take. Not even your loyal media lackeys are buying this one.

So the blame is yours. Accept it.

Variation on a Theme.

He don't know nothin'!

Seriously.

Bloomberg is buying another election.

Michael Bloomberg hits Virginia attorney general candidate
Governor, Attorney General, House races, he means to win and has money to piss away.

No need for comment.

[UPDATE] I was told something was missing here. Fixed it.

The only one's getting screwed here are we the people.

Another Democrat with Buyer's Remorse.

Someone please tell me why my premium in January will be $356 more than in December?

I was all for Obamacare until I found out I was paying for it

So who did you think was going to pay for it? Oh, that's right...the other guy.

Man, ya gotta love a Democrat's buyer's remorse.

Oh. joy. The war on gun ownership continues...

...with the EPA shutting down the last lead smelter in the United States.
End of an Era: Last U.S. Lead Smelter to Close in December
Expect another increase in the cost of ammo IF you can find it.

"...a random act of journalism..."

60 Minutes confirms Benghazi is a real scandal, and you’ve been lied to
The problem is that I'm not sure I believe 60 Minutes is capable of that sort of shift from ass kisser to journalist.

So what then might be their motive? Clearing Hilliary out of the way for another Leftist more acceptable to the Obama's and their fellow travelers? Just a thought...

Books

The Dark at the End - F. Paul Wilson
Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief - Rick Riordan
Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters - Rick Riordan
Affliction - Laurell K. Hamilton
Cold City - F. Paul Wilson
Dark City - F. Paul Wilson

I picked up the Percy Jackson books because I'd watched the movies and was interested to see what the novels were like. They are OK.

I really liked the first few novels in the Anita Blake series but the sex came to take the lead over plot. I stopped reading them. She seems to have found a balance with this and the last book. I liked it.

F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack novels have always been favorites. I highly recommend them all. The best part to me was always his stings. I could take or leave the supernatural elements. The Dark at the End is all Jack the Heir with no Repairmen in it at all. I understand why at this point in the series. Still, it's a good read. Cold City and Dark City takes us back to shortly after Jack arrived in New York City and we see is evolution into Repairman Jack. No supernatural stuff. Its Jack finding his place in the world. They are part of a trilogy with the third yet to come out. If these are the last Jack novels, I'll miss them, hope for more later on, but if not, this is a good end. Thanks.

Heh.

H/T to veeshir.

Robert Heinlein needs...

...your vote. No clue who those other people are and don't much care.

He needs to buy a lottery ticket...

...and put that luck to use. If he didn't use it all up, that is.

Oh, that's gotta hurt.

...or are they the cavalry.
