I HATE THE MEDIA ™

CBS News political director John Dickerson: Obama headed toward “credibility death spiral” on Obamacare. Spiral baby, spiral. BTW, this is the same doofus who advised Obama to destroy the Republicans back in January. Oh, how the mighty stupid have fallen. [Video at the link.]

White House not being honest about ObamaCare problems, says Ezra Klein (on MSNBC, no less). “These aren’t glitches. The website, to a first approximation, simply isn’t working.” Just like everything else the Quagmire-in-Chief does.

New York drowning in bribes and corruption. And what color is New York politically? Followup question: is anyone anywhere on the planet surprised?

Thousands get health insurance cancellation notices. “…the cancellation notices, which began arriving in August, have shocked many consumers in light of President Barack Obama’s promise that people could keep their plans if they liked them.” If the media had done their job, consumers wouldn’t be “shocked” now.

NYC mayoral candidates to add Muslim holidays to school calendar. “At this rate, city kids will be in school until the end of July. … advocates for other religious and ethnic groups are clamoring for their days to be recognized too.” July? At this rate, they’ll be in school about 3 weeks per year.

Transgendered folks want free Obamacare mammograms. Yeah, very confusing – “Mammograms of what?” is your first thought. We don’t get it either. More importantly, we can’t believe the bureaucrats wrote 10,535 pages of regulations using 11,588,500 words and somehow this crucial situation got missed.

Kathleen Sebelius tells Congress she’s too busy to testify about Obamacare website. But she had time to fly up to Boston for the inaugural Kennedy forum gala Friday night. Meanwhile, as the Secretary of Health and Human Services parties in Boston, the Obamacare website is down for the weekend for “maintenance.”

Grand Theft Nation: Red States, younger Americans see highest rate hikes from Obamacare. Check out the rate hikes for Adults aged 27 (first column) and then remember that this scheme needs young, healthy people to sign up in droves in order to subsidize everyone else. Hey, Illinois! Your young voters got a 114% increase! Way to go!

Canadian geophysicist calculates greenhouse effect for the first time. His conclusion: the greenhouse effect decreased (from 35.56°C to 35.42°C) between 1980 and 2010 while CO2 emissions were increasing by 70.9%, so any claim that CO2 emissions are enhancing the greenhouse effect is fraudulent.

NRO: WH may have to consider “unthinkable options” if website meltdown continues into November. “Exit quotation via HuffPo: ‘[F]ailure of this magnitude would discredit a core premise of this presidency, that government can do big things to improve Americans’ lives.” After 5 summers of no recovery (among other things), that discredit thing should be in the rearview mirror by now. Maybe one last big THUD with the stupid hammer will finally drive the point home.

MoveOn.ogre Wants Hosts Petition Advocating GOP Leaders Be Arrested for Sedition*: We love the smell of fascism in the morning. It smells like progressives.

Researchers Developing ‘Underwater Internet’: While Obama works just as diligently at developing an underwater country.

Professional activist who profits from conflict says we gotta stop listening to professional activists who profit from conflict. “Barack Obama took the opportunity today to lay blame for Washington dysfunction squarely on where it most belongs … outside the Beltway” Resist, you muchn’t.

The third party. “…at the heart of the crisis is money. The system of hitting up The Man in order to buy votes from a captive electorate dependent on the federal government, so successful during the postwar boom, has finally stopped working.” Republicrats and Democans are basically the same joker with different masks. The only true opposition to political insanity is reality itself – things that can’t go on forever, don’t.

TV shutdown coverage overwhelmingly blamed Republicans. 62 stories blamed Republicans, zero stories blamed Democrats. Sure, there were 21 stories that ostensibly blamed both parties but we all know how that goes: a quick mention of how Americans are unhappy with both sides, then a quick pivot to how Tea Partiers are idiots, racists, and trolls under the bridge.

Any of you gotten a raise yet because insurance premiums have dropped by 3000 percent? Let us know if you do.

Obama’s Government-Induced Inflation: Inflation, because sometimes the dollar just makes cents.

Ladies and Gentlemen we give you the Kentucky Kickback Mitch McConnell might not give a damn, but if you slip him nearly 3 billion dollars he will certainly take one.

Hollywood builds an ark destined to sink. When Jewish and Christian test audiences saw the new Darren Aronofsky film, Noah, they were upset by his leftwing environmental whacko version of the Biblical story. Darren, you see, considers Noah “the first environmentalist,” and turns the story “into an environmentalist screed and animal rights diatribe.” Gee, who saw that coming?

Chicago Tribune drops the hammer on Obamacare. You know things are bad if a fawning liberal rag from the sort-of-god’s (what sort????) home town is dumping on his namesake crap sandwich. Party on.

“Thanks, Tea-Tards”: Why does Organizing For Action hate the mentally challenged? Well, one fool is not representative of the group as a whole – that’s only true when the group is conservative or something.

Redford: “racism involved” in the “paralyzed environment” Obama faces. Hey, Obama threw up this morning… Redford: “raaaaacism undoubtedly involved.” Video at the link, if you care.

How stupid are Washington, D.C., voters? This stupid: they think the government shutdown is George Bush’s fault.

Oh, I am very weary,
Though tears no longer flow;
My eyes are tired of weeping,
My heart is sick of woe. (Anne Bronte)

ObamaCare best advertisement for Libertarianism ever. “In truth, especially in a big country like ours, the more the government controls healthcare, the worse that care is — and, ironically, the less democratic, the more discriminatory, it becomes. Where there are bureaucrats, there is favoritism.” To paraphrase Obungler’s first piece of work chief of staff, “Never waste a good failure.”

Fox News making itself at home on White House grounds. What’s that you say? Not Fox News? Oh, it’s a fox making itself at home! Still, the symbolism is delightful. If nothing else, it’s bound to make You-Know-Who paranoid.
