Morning Briefing
For November 8, 2013

1. The ATM Ate Healthcare.gov
I don’t need to belabor this point, but I think it is a point worth making.
Last year, Barack Obama blamed ATM’s for
unemployment. In fact, Barack Obama is pretty sure that the rise of
technology has caused unemployment, not his policies.
If he believes that, you’d think he’d hire a
bunch of unemployed people to answer phones all day and process
Obamacare manually instead of largely relying on Healthcare.gov and
technology.
Surely the mass of unemployed in this country
would be more efficient with pens, pads, and even mimeograph machines
than a site that does not even work. Yes, he has hired some to answer
phones, but he did not really put our money where his mouth is in this
endeavor.
Good grief people! We can put men on the moon
and send spacecraft from the 70′s into interstellar space, but in
Barack Obama’s America we can’t even build a freaking website. For
Pete’s sake, we put more people on the moon than signed up for Obamacare
in Delaware, Kansas, and Alaska combined. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
2. That’s Not an Apology for Losing Health Care Insurance
Everyone is spinning that Barack Obama is apologizing for people losing their healthcare.
He did not.
Listen to him.
He’s apologizing for people believing they would not lose healthcare insurance based on his statements.
That’s a pretty big difference. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
3. The End of Expectations
With apologies to non sports fans, allow me
to introduce you to the dumbest controversy to hit America since the
furor over whether John Bolton once put his hands on his hips while
talking to a subordinate. I am talking, of course, about the Jonathan
Martin/Richie Incognito Miami Dolphins controversy.…
A
society cannot long survive in the complete absence of expectations
about behavior in response to stimuli. If no one can ever say, “Hey man,
you need to throttle it back, as a grown adult you should be able to
handle this,” without themselves being the bad guy in the situation, we
may as well all pack it up and go home. We had a nice run, America, time
to let someone else have a try. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
4. ENDA, Pathetic Amendments, and the End of the Fight for Religious Liberty
If you
want a glimpse into the insufferable nature of the Senate GOP and its
leaders, study this week’s legislative process over the transgendered
trial lawyer employment bill (ENDA). . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
5. The single woman society
The
Virginia governor’s race was yet another example of the massive voting
gap in a huge demographic: single people, particularly single women. According
to exit polls, Republican Ken Cuccinelli won handily on the “hard”
issues facing Virginia voters, and won most other demographic slices,
but Democrat Terry McAuliffe won big with single people, crushing
Cuccinelli by nearly fifty points among single women . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
