THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS: Government shutdowns are nothing new, and they’re not always the fault of Republicans.

PRESCIENT:

From the Washington Times last week.

AND THE MOST POPULAR QUESTION at Healthcare.gov is ... "How do I get an exemption from the fee for not having health coverage?"

Assuming, of course, you can log in.

THOSE PESKY COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS must be Republicans.

GLOBULL WARMENING: "So not only can’t the IPCC predict the future; they can’t even predict the past."

WELL, THE GOVERNMENT'S SHUT DOWN; the lights are still on, and the sun's still rising in the east. I guess Obama's not all that necessary after all....

ABOUT ALL THOSE "Made in USA" stickers we see on things we buy....

MICHAEL BARONE: the decline and fall of a great religion.

OBAMACARE: ready for liftoff.

POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES. Here's my favorite:

I watched the 'debate'. At his best, McAuliffe came across as unctuous. If he wins, I'm outta here.

Also, check out the Goldberg post over at National Review Online.

SUE THE BASTARDS: Virginia Beach School Board Chairman Publicly Posts Suspended Student’s Private Information.

OBAMACARE for the young and clueless. Instapundit comments: "Luckily, they might be too dumb to notice. Hey, they voted for Obama!"

D.C. HEALTH CARE EXCHANGE not ready for prime time. Neither is Colorado's.

But both D.C. and Colorado have plenty of time to rail about gun control while health care has far more impact on their citizens....
