Looks like the media may have latched on to a fraudster: Chad Henderson is the media’s poster boy for Obamacare. Reporters struggled this week to find individuals who said they had been able to enroll in one of the law’s 36 federally run health-insurance exchanges. That changed yesterday, when they found Henderson, a 21-year-old student and part-time child-care worker who lives in Georgia and says that he successfully enrolled himself and his father Bill in insurance plans via the online exchange administered at healthcare.gov. But in an exclusive phone interview this morning with Reason, Chad’s father Bill contradicted virtually every...

A new EU poster places the hammer and sickle emblem above the Christian Cross and symbols of other religions. MEP Dan Hannan is rightly angry over this atrocity at his blog: “For three generations, the badge of the Soviet revolution meant poverty, slavery, torture and death. It adorned the caps of the chekas who came in the night. It opened and closed the propaganda films which hid the famines. It advertised the people’s courts where victims of purges and show-trials were condemned. It fluttered over the re-education camps and the gulags. For hundreds of millions of Europeans, it was a...

The New York Post reported Egyptian-American columnist Mona Eltahawy has been arrested for defacing an anti-Muslim ad in the New York subway system. The video shows her spraying pink paint on the ad while a supporter of the ad tries to block her. She's a journalist for censorship. Eltahawy, a former Reuters correspondent, has been a recent favorite of CNN and MSNBC’s weekend morning shows to discuss Egypt, and she often smears together the Islamist “right wing” and the American right wing, as she did on Melissa Harris-Perry just 11 days ago [video and transcript below]: Read more: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2012/09/26/cnn-and-msnbc-pundit-arrested-vandalizing-anti-muslim-ad-ny-subway-syste#ixzz27cSJt84l

Apparently, Barack Obama's 2008 campaign to become U.S. president started with legal irregularities and underlying, nefarious ideological purposes. Federal prosecutors have successfully convicted one Shepard Fairey, creator of, "the iconic red, white and blue Obama 'Hope' posters in the lead-up to the 2008 presidential election," for, "criminal contempt of court for falsifying and destroying documents and coaching a witness while embroiled in a copyright infringement battle." Fairey misused a now-famous image owned by The Associated Press featuring then-Senator Barack Obama to "create" his now (in)famous poster. The prosecution of Fairey was not politically motivated, as he was accused and convicted...

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans...

Geraldine Doyle, Iconic Face of World War II, Dies at 86By TIMOTHY WILLIAMS Published: December 29, 2010 Geraldine Hoff Doyle, who was believed to be the unwitting model for the “We Can Do It!” poster of a woman flexing her biceps in a factory during World War II — an image that later became a symbol for the American feminist movement — died on Sunday in Lansing, Mich. She was 86. **SNIP** Mrs. Doyle was unaware of the poster’s existence until 1982, when, while thumbing through a magazine, she saw a photograph of it and recognized herself. Her daughter said...

BABY SCAN JESUS CHRISTMAS 2010 Research has revealed that 85 per cent of people agree with the statement that "Christmas should be called Christmas because we are still a Christian country". But it also shows that only 12 per cent of adults know the facts of the Christmas story in any detail. So if we Christians really want to keep Christmas focused on Christ, we must constantly re-tell the story of his birth in ways which engage positively with the public's interest. In the 21st century, proud parents-to-be proudly announce the coming birth by showing friends and family the scan...

‘The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari’ movie was released on March 19, 1921, but the classic poster of the silent film ended up as a backdrop of the ‘burger and fries’ meeting between the presidents of the USA and Russia in 2010. Some argue the poster representing the art in Germany between the two World Wars was an odd choice for a photo-op. Others believe that the movie about mad-men murderous horror dreams was a nice touch. Most likely some innocent aid did not pay attention to details. In case somebody in the White House is collecting ideas about posters...

They said the Union Jack-coloured lettering on a white background could be considered 'racist'. ‘The police told me that due to the fact that the words were written in red and blue and the background was white, my sign had racist connotations. ‘What a load or rubbish - it certainly wasn't my intention to come across as racist. I'm not racist.’ A spokeswoman for South Yorkshire Police said : ‘Officers responded to a call from a complainant who had seen the sign and interpreted it as being racist.

Emotions run high at a protest over a banner that depicts President Obama as the Joker from Batman. Some call it racist and disrespectful. Others say race has nothing to do with the issue. The image is stirring up quite a bit of controversy. You can see the large sign is displayed outside of Club Velvet, a gentlemen's club in Richmond. The banner led to a protest by the NAACP. The organization says the image is not only an attack on the president, but on all men and people of African descent. "The presence of a black president that has...
