VALERIE JARRETT: Obamacare doesn’t force you off your plan; your insurance company does ... by complying with Obamacare!
GRETA: Witching hour for politicians' staff. It will be very interesting to find out what Obama's greatest supporter will decide for his staff....
ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE: So, Tom, tell us what you really think.
"FORGET 'HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS'. For those you have to do something and be conscious. Barack Obama should be impeached for cluelessness."
SPECIAL DELIVERY.

BIG GOVERNMENT, big failure: "[I]t remains indisputable that the federal government isn't very good at delivering on big projects. The obvious response is to not entrust the federal government with big projects on which it can't deliver. Instead, they should be left to those who can."
HEH: Year of the unemployed woman.
SAD GAS: What's causing your digestive discomfort?

I blame ObamaCare....
SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER: Problems with President’s Health Care Law Go Far Beyond the Website.
HUGE SECURITY HOLE found in Healthcare.gov. Based on this report, no one should attempt to log on to this website.
TECH TOPICS: A new way to detect accidental falls in the home. Potentially a boon for the elderly.
RANDOM THOUGHTS from the retirement lane. Checking the mail, I just received another batch of mailers from the Democratic Party of Virginia slamming all the Republican candidates as being 'anti-woman', wanting to keep them barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

Truth be told, the Democrats here are not pro-woman, or even pro-feminist; they're pro-female slavery. To be kept on the plantation as sex objects for misogynists. Shameful.
OBAMACARE SIDE EFFECTS: Top Democrat says law needed to be 'more precise'.
The admission from House Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer comes after a 2010 document emerged that predicted millions might be dropped by their providers.

The document helped explain why thousands are already getting cancellation notices and being guided toward new plans. It also gave new meaning to Nancy Pelosi's infamous remark, shortly before the complex legislation was approved in March 2010, that "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."
Do tell. If Americans had known what was in it, it never would have passed to begin with.

UPDATE from Instapundit: Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.
IMAGINE THAT, a Washington professional politician claiming one thing all the while knowing that virtually the exact opposite was the truth: Obama knew three years ago millions would lose healthcare coverage.

Shit happens, even (especially?) in the land of unicorns and rainbows.
BOEING 747-8 performs ultimate rejected takeoff (video). What's amazing about the video is that you can only tell it's a worst-case test by the smoke and fire trucks at the end of the video. Otherwise the aircraft looks perfectly normal, tracking straight and true down the runway.
NOPE, IT'S GUN OWNERS: Is The Obama Administration The Cause Of Gun Ammunition Shortages?

I'm sure part of it is stockpiling by gun owners worried about gun control legislation.
MORNING EXAMINER: Why work when you can live comfortably on the government dole?
'FRACTIVISTS' caught in flood of Colorado lies. But then ... shit is way-in-the-distant-future oil.
THAT HIGH, EH?
CAVEAT EMPTOR: "Ratings intended to give shoppers an ability to compare [ObamaCare] insurance plans are not being posted by most state and federal officials, despite being required as part of the president's signature health care plan.

I don't think the Obama administration dares publish the ratings lest the applicants find out how poorly they compare relative to the private options they used to have.
DANA PERINO has some sound advice for Republicans in advance of the Energy and Commerce committee hearings with HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Wednesday.
ATTACKERS IN MEXICO blow up nine electrical plants. Not terrorists or environmentalists, just plain-old-ordinary drug thugs.
THE TAX-AND-SPEND-OTHER-PEOPLES-MONEY PARTY is still the tax-and-spend-other-peoples-money party.
OREGON SCHOOLS TO TEACHERS: Carry guns if you want. In deep-blue Oregon? What are they thinking?
OBAMACARE MAKES LIFE HELL FOR COLLEGE PROFESSORS. A more deserving group of individuals I cannot imagine.

Note: apologies for the Star Wars allusion.
THEY'RE SMARTER THAN I THOUGHT: Budget cuts, furloughs have many young federal employers considering private sector.
