OBAMACARE: out of bullets.
IT BEGINS CONTINUES: Colorado Woman Who Championed Obamacare Loses Insurance Plan.
TEAM OBAMA: Another unforced error?

For extra amusement, read the comments. My favorites: "being a Democrat ... means never being able to say 'I thought …'" and "blame the victim seems to be a last-gasp effort by Obama worshippers".
HMM: ObamaCare may be creating jobs for seniors. Just not this senior.
WHY REPUBLICANS are absolutely, completely, 100% at fault for the botched ObamaCare rollout.
UNITED STATES OF UNDEREMPLOYMENT: Dead-End Jobs Prop Up Employment Growth.

It looks like I was right.
BANNING TRANS FATS: When Trans Fats Were Healthy. Always remember: if it's 'politically correct', it's probably wrong.

It is one thing to be sure; it is another to be right.
"IT’S LIKE A MEDIEVAL TORTURER complaining to his victim about how difficult it is to use pilliwinks while the thumbscrews are on backorder.”
COMMON CORE AND 'FED ED' facing strong resistance in Colorado.

MEET THE OBAMA-SUPPORTING COUPLE who just got hosed by ObamaCare. I have absolutely zero sympathy for them, but what truly irks me is their solution: earn less so thay can qualify for a subsidy too.
MOST UNINSURED ignoring healthcare exchanges.
The reality is this law was passed to satisfy a political agenda, not to satisfy the demands of the citizenry. And that reality is demonstrated by this sort of indifferent reception. Even though the rollout has been a disaster, the biggest problem remains government butting into a market where it was neither needed or wanted. The results are predictable.
That's a theme I've written about several times over the last several years since President Obama took office: when the government gets too 'buttinski', Americans tend to just ignore it and move on. When the 'ignorers' get too numerous, there's not much a government can do short of using excessive force.

SMART KID:
I was eating breakfast with my 13-year-old granddaughter and I asked her, "What day is the 20th of February?"

She said "It's President's Day!" I asked "What does President's Day mean?" I was waiting for something about Washington or Lincoln, etc. She replied, President's Day is when President Obama steps out of the White House, and if he sees his shadow we have one more year of unemployment."

You know, it hurts when hot coffee spurts out your nose!

ZEKE THE BLEAK: Emanuel should be Obama's personal physician; their arrogance is a match made in Heaven.
BUT, BUT ... we're the good guys.

Original story is here.
POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES: Here we go again. My favorite:

IT WOULD BE SWEET JUSTICE if every Democrat who attacked the insurance companies for canceling pre-ObamaCare health plans had their own healthcare policies canceled and were told they must renew through Healthcare.gov.
RANDOM THOUGHTS from the retirement lane: an argument in favor of gay marriage. Now that the ObamaCare marriage penalty news is out, I suggest that gay couples be required to marry so that they can share the 'benefits' of marriage with the rest of us.
PRESIDENTIAL CURRENCY:
George Washington, our nation's first president and leader of the American Revolution!
Abe Lincoln, honorable leader who pulled our nation through its darkest time.
Alexander Hamilton, founding father, first Secretary of the Treasury and leader of the constitutional convention.
Andrew Jackson, "Old Hickory " fought the British in New Orleans.
Finally, we have someone to put on the food stamp.
Obama's policies have put more people on welfare than any president before him, so this placement is most appropriate. Unlike the Nobel Peace Prize, this he richly deserves.
From my email.
ANOTHER OBAMACARE BUG FEATURE:
The Massachusetts Health Connector website ... cuts off people with hyphenated last names, suggesting that having obnoxious progressive parents is now a pre-existing condition.
Heh.
