Even the partisans are bringing out the knives on this one. Delicious.

I'm wondering if Anonymous is responsible for any of the O-care failures.  DDoS attacks, maybe even surreptitious deliberate sabotage via ineffective code by the authors who might empathize with anti-O-care advocates.

Doubtful, this has .gov program (in more than one sense) written all over it.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Interesting. I assume most celebrities are in business for themselves, and thus have their own health insurance, so unlike their other liberal brethern that are covered through employers, the celebs will likely be feeling the pain directly of cancelled policies and increased rates for less coverage.

I didn't look at the video, but are Stewart and Kimmel ragging on Obamacare itself, or just the website?  I would bet they are fine with Obamacare, they just don't like how difficult the website is for folks attempting to sign up.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

The problem with socialism is always the execution... and how its end path is executions.  Forget that the incentives inherent are abhorrent to human nature.  For a system that has worked no where in history at any scale, folks are still quite dedicated to it.  At least the anarchists aren't busy bodies.

Probably not.  Remember that actors, for instance, have a union.  They may pay out of pocket in reality, but they do, nominally, have a group plan.
