Went for Pre-Transplant Pulmonary Rehab today. Slapped a
mask on me with 100% oxygen and I worked on the treadmill, leg press machine
and did squats holding a heavy ball. Went pretty well. Nice to be able to

Shutdown Austerity:
No Money for Kids’ Cancer Treatments; PBS, NPR Still Get $445 Million
Excerpt: I wrote the other day that I was waiting for
Big Bird to make the headlines amid this government shutdown, lamenting to his
young viewers that due to the Republican-led shutdown, he wouldn’t be able to
be on the TV anymore. Well, he’s made headlines, but not for that reason.
The headline is that he’s still getting paid big bucks while
children’s cancer treatments get halted. You can’t get more “political
leverage” than kids with cancer.

New Obamacare Challenge: The Origination Clause. By Randy
Barnett
Excerpt: The Pacific Legal Foundation has filed a motion in
its pending suit against Obamacare asking the judge (1) to rule that, when it
enacted the Senate health care reform bill that includes a “tax” for not
purchasing health insurance, Congress violated the Origination Clause, which
says that all revenue bills must originate in the House; and (2) that
their clients are under no legal obligation to purchase health insurance under
the ruling of the Court.

The Obama Blockade. By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: The barricades around the Lincoln Memorial and the
WW2 Memorial, the traffic cones blocking the view of Mt.
Rushmore and the sawhorses around Old Faithful are no Berlin Blockade, but they come out of
the same meanness of spirit and the same motives. The petty harassment extended
to a 24-hour blockade of an inn that had tried to stay open and rangers
arriving to block Old Faithful every time it
erupted. There are few moments that sum up the meanness of spirit of the Obama
Blockade as well as a park ranger angrily telling senior citizens to get back
on the bus and stop taking photos because they are engaging in forbidden
“recreating”.
Democrats to America
Excerpt: Contrary to Obama’s
promises, it turns out: You can’t keep your doctor, you can’t keep your insurance
— you can’t even keep your job. In other words, it’s a typical government
program, but this one wrecks your health care. (I'm not always in tune with
Coulter, she goes a bit extreme at times. In this column she lays down a
bunch of facts that are really important. That's three tries at making very
reasonable offers in negotiation, every one of which the Democrats and Mr.
Obama have turned down. The last one is the real attention getter.
The big "concession" the GOP asked for was that everyone live under
the same rules, including all of Congress, their staffs, and various big
businesses (and assumably, unions) as well. That's a
"concession" that I think 9 Americans out of 10 would be very much in
favor of. And it hit the same granite wall of total refusal as everything
else. You really can't say the GOP guys weren't trying, and you really can't
say the Democrats were being even remotely reasonable. But the shutdown is the
Republicans' fault? --Del
Excerpt: Let's say my wife was going over last month's
household budget, finds that our spending is exceeding our income and begins
looking for places to cut back. In going through the check book she finds
that I've been hitting the ATM up every Friday night for a hundred
bucks. When she asks me about I tell her that my Fridays are my night out
with the boys at the local strip club. She sternly notes that the $400
dollars per month I'm spending on booze and lap dances is nearly 20% of our
income. Well, being open minded, the old girl tells me that, though she
knows I really enjoy those Friday night lap dances, that I'm going to
have to fore go them until our income catches up to our outgo. I am
naturally furious at this notion!
Obamacare site hits
reset button on passwords as contractors scramble
Excerpt: Amid all the attention, bugs, and work happening at
Healthcare.gov in light of the Affordable Care Act, potential registrants
talking to phone support today have been told that all user passwords are being
reset to help address the site's login woes. And the tech supports behind
Healthcare.gov will be asking more users to act in the name of fixing the site,
too. According to registrants speaking with Ars, individuals whose logins never
made it to the site's database will have to re-register using a different
username, as their previously chosen names are now stuck in authentication
limbo.

Dick Morris: Oklahoma
Excerpt: "Why didn't anyone else think of it?" Morris wrote in The Hill. "Unlike
the suit brought by 26 state attorney generals, this suit does not make a
constitutional objection to the Affordable Care Act. Instead, it uses the
language of the law to challenge the elaborate system of subsidies, tax
credits, and individual or employer mandates and fines the act has
spawned." (I think Roberts and the other four are now vested in finding
Obamacare constitutional, regardless. ~Bob)

Excerpt: One of my favorite plays is T.S. Eliot’s ‘Murder in the Cathedral.’ Like the best of any artistic medium, its brilliance wasn’t perfectly manifested to me until I saw it performed, rather than simply upon my reading it. It’s an exquisitely subtle and profound meditation on free will and sin and human nature, how God’s will works despite, between, and throughout human will.
