NEWT GINGRICH: The Obama machine breaks down. Friday, ? pm on CSPAN. Be there.

RISK FACTOR: And you thought only ObamaCare had IT 'glitches'....

LEAVIN' ... ON A JET PLANE: 2013 is going to be a banner year for expatriation.

BRO'S AND HO'S: Obamacare’s bread and circuses. Maybe I'm old-fashioned (or just old) but if I were a member of the generation targeted by these marketing bozos, I'd be deeply insulted.

UNBELIEVABLE: California lawmakers want porn stars to wear safety goggles. Safety goggles?

EZRA KLEIN: the handwriting on the wall.

A FIRST RESPONSE from the health insurance industry: "This is a new insanity."

But in Obama's wonderworld, to propose an action is to perform it.

UPDATE: A second and third response. It's not looking good for our boy-President.

EZEKIEL EMANUEL blames Fox News (!) for ObamaCare’s flop. I gave up watching before he had a chance to blame Fox. Emanuel has to be the most arrogant asshole I've ever had the misfortune to watch.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY PLAN, I can tweak it. Fine. Tweak it out of existence.

DEMOCRAT: What is about that constitution thingy, anyway?

JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE FRIGHTENED doesn’t mean somebody is trying to scare you.

MCDONALDS AND THE MINIMUM WAGE:

CNET blogger Amanda Kooser seems to disapprove of [McDonalds move to] self-service checkouts.

Kooser calls the move “another blow against human interaction.” It doesn’t take much to imagine Occupy protesters lamenting a successful corporation destroying good entry-level jobs.

No, the Occupy protesters will lament a successful corporation destroying their jobs....

RANDOM THOUGHTS from the retirement lane on 'progressive linguistics'. Has anyone noticed that in today's speech the president did not use the term 'ObamaCare', using instead the acronym ACA (for Affordable Care Act)?

If you can't change the subject, change the way you speak about the subject.

THIS SHOULD GET INTERESTING: When ObamaCare hits the professoriate.

CAN HE DO THAT? Obama to announce that americans who lost health coverage because of ObamaCare can renew old plans. Of course; he's 'Emperor' Obama.

INSTAPUNDIT: "Obama is the perfect embodiment of America’s ruling class, a class that doesn’t really much like the nation it rules."

MIKE ROWE: the worst advice in the history of the world.

OBAMACARE SUPPORTERS shocked to discover tooth fairy isn’t real. The real meltdown will be when they learn that a unicorn is merely a jackass wearing a dunce cap.

And the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow was put there by a capitalist....

LINGUISTIC ALERT: Obama’s lies are merely ‘incorrect promises’. According to the New York Times.

BRIT HUME: "This is as bad a political disaster as I have ever seen."

OBAMACARE: What's 26,000 minus 7 million?

SNICKER: Even Piers Morgan is more popular than ObamaCare.

VOTER TURNOUT nearly doubles in Texas under new ID law: "And turnout among Hispanics increased four-fold."

When the probability of fraud is lowered, the real voters come out?
