Federal health
exchange sending confusing enrollment information to insurers
Excerpt: The federal health-care exchange that opened a
dozen days ago is marred by snags beyond the widely publicized computer
gridlock that has thwarted Americans trying to buy a health plan. Even when
consumers have been able to sign up, insurers sometimes can’t tell who their
new customers are because of a separate set of computer defects. (Well, the

Excerpt: The biggest energy challenge facing America is the need to expand, upgrade,

Excerpt: It is widely assumed that a health insurance
mandate is necessary in any workable health care system and that it is
especially needed if insurance companies are not allowed to price their
premiums based on health status, as is the case under the Affordable Care Act.
Yet most countries in the world do not have an individual mandate. And I can’t
think of a single valid argument for one.

Too many Americans
are in homes they can't afford. By Edward Pinto
Excerpt: Recently, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA)
said it needs $1.7bn to cover losses, the first taxpayer-funded bailout in the
organization's 79-year history. To put that in perspective, if FHA were held to
the same standards as private mortgage insurers, it would be insolvent to the
tune of $25bn. While this is bad news for the taxpayers, FHA has an even more
troubling problem. For decades FHA's underwriting practices have put families
into homes they can't afford. By financing failure, FHA has made foreclosures
commonplace.
Obamacare Is Not a
Bailout of State and Local Governments. By Stephen
Eide
Excerpt: True to the iron law of journalist math ("one,
two, trend"), when Detroit and Chicago announced plans to use Obamacare to
eliminate retirees' health coverage, several stories came
out predicting that it would be only a matter of time before other
governments followed suit. Conservatives pounced, eager
to highlight yet another imperfection in what they view as a hopelessly flawed
policy. As if Obamacare's subsidies, new taxes, and regulations weren't bad
enough, the law may also bail out spendthrift state and local governments.
Excerpt: I've been saying for years that Barack Hussein
Obama has proven to be the most divisive President ever. His demonization
of opponents, his "my way or the highway" relationship with Congress,
his circumvention of the Congress and breach of Constitutional law, his
tendency to take sides in any Black-White social dispute, his history with the
Reverend "God Damn America" Wright, his hate filled Ebonic-laced
speeches to the NAACP, and his absolute failure to honor the opinions of those
who oppose his philosophies have divided this nation to heights not seen since
the Civil War. Now, someone has come along and presented a mathematics model
that would seem to support my opinion.
Ridding the Nobel
Prizes of Anti-Muslim Bias. By Bruce
Bawer
Excerpt: What to do? Even as the distaste for Jews
intensifies around the Western world and more and more members of the
international community step up the pressure on Israel
to stop being the cause of so much trouble in the otherwise idyllic Middle East , Israeli and Jewish scientists continue to
clean up at the Nobel Prizes. It’s nothing less than fascinating, in fact, that
notwithstanding the lack of affection for Jews and the Jewish state that is
evidenced in the Scandinavian media, Jews (who, after all, represent less than
0.2% of the world population) have managed to accumulate a staggeringly
disproportionate number of Nobel Prizes over the decades – making up about 21%
of the laureates in chemistry, 26% in physics, 27% in physiology or medicine,
and 37% in economics.

Leftist Fanatics
Responsible for Government Shutdown
Excerpt: In 2010, a Democrat-controlled House of
Representatives, without a single Republican vote, passed “ObamaCare” by a
margin of 219 to 212. In a staggering act of misfeasance, hardly a single
member had read, let alone studied, the 1,900 page law (2,700 pages according
to some authorities), which had been dumped into the House only days earlier.
The 219 members of that House who voted for ObamaCare were willing to impose
massive, and massively expensive, legislation on the American people without
any real idea of what they were doing. Had those members been members of the
board of directors of a private corporation, their complete and utter lack of
due diligence would almost certainly have exposed them to enormous law suits
and, quite possibly, criminal penalties. (Sooner or later, someone needs to act
on principle...let's hope it's over Obamacare. --Margaret)

of the Union army against an attack by near overwhelming odds, launched by
equally gallant troops from Alabama. Chamberlain's regiment held the line

Two small parks and
an inn win victories over National Park Service closings. By Mary Katharine Ham
Excerpt: Call it the shutdown of shutdown theater. A couple
of small parks have taken to the courts to dispute their bullying at the hands
of the National Park Service during the government shutdown. One could argue
civil disobedience has been shutting down shutdown theater since it began— in
D.C., in the Badlands, in Yellowstone—but at least one of these victories might
be able to set a useful legal precedent to prevent at least some of Washington
Monument Strategy in the future. It’s a political strategy that should die an
ignominious death. It’s the opposite of public service. (It goes to show that
fighting back is the right answer to overzealous bureaucrats. Hopefully
when all the dust has cleared on this whole mess, there will be investigations
of how the Park Service abused citizens, and steps will be taken to bar this
from ever happening again. --Del

Excerpt: As I said earlier
today in addressing the president’s tanking approval numbers, we did not
anticipate how obnoxious and authoritarian Obama and congressional Democrats
would be about refusing to negotiate and inflicting gratuitous pain on
ordinary Americans — including American war heroes. But that is the natural
fallout of statists being forced to defend an indefensible position.
Obama has a long history of reversing himself, of moving 180 degrees from A to
B with no discernible shame or ebb of indignation.

When [Walmart] employees noticed that cards weren't showing limits, they called

anyway. Eager shoppers quickly bought all the stores' meat and decimated their

Michael
Needham: The Strategist Behind the Shutdown: The 31-year-old Stanford grad
explains how he outmaneuvered GOP leaders and why he thinks House Republicans
can defund Obamacare. By Stephen Moore
Excerpt:
'I really believe we are in a great position right now," says Michael
Needham, the 31-year-old president of Heritage Action, the lobbying arm of the
nation's largest conservative think tank. By "we" he means the
Republican Party and the conservative movement; their "great
position" refers to the potential to win the political battle over the
government shutdown. Though Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is
the public face of the high-risk strategy to "defund" ObamaCare, the
masterminds behind it are a new generation of young conservatives, chief among
them Mr. Needham.
Excerpt:
Before she was charged, Lanker-Simons hit the feminist warpath. “They’re
treating this like there’s someone harboring violent sexual fantasies towards
fellow students, and has stated a desire to act upon them,” she wrote on her
blog. “Now, I know having the fantasies is not a crime—voicing them to threaten
and intimidate, well, possibly a different story there."

If a government shuts down in the forest and nobody hears it, that’s the sound
of liberty dying. The so-called shutdown is, as noted last week, mostly
baloney: Eighty-three percent of the supposedly defunded government is carrying
on as usual, impervious to whatever restraints the people’s representatives
might wish to impose, and the 800,000 soi-disant “non-essential” workers have
been assured that, as soon as the government is once again lawfully funded,
they will be paid in full for all the days they’ve had at home. But the
one place where a full-scale shutdown is being enforced is in America Del

Truckers gearing up

when the public outcry is too great to stifle with their disinformation. Where
were they when the first QE happened, money printing that any fool knows will
kill an economy and a currency? Where was the story that government
unemployment figures were a bald-faced lie, that there were 100 million
unemployed, or 40% of the population! That a staggering trillion has been paid
out by the government to people out of work and that there is no recovery, just
a smokscreen of lies? Where is the truth? Some say the Soviets are the ones
telling lies. Not this time. Whatever lies the Russians are telling pale
beside the gargantuan whoppers told by a White House resident (please don't
juxtapose his name with the P word. It is a sacrilege) who has presented false
