Those overcoming qualms learned that the plans offered were significantly more expensive than they had been led to believe—more costly than coverages available prior to the Affordable Care Act.

HA!! Hope all you lefties like the hope and change you voted for. Problem is that we are stuck with the same garbage.

Possumrump National Forest WVa - A National Park Service maintenance crew attempted blockade a road across Federal property leading to a local COSTCO was trampled by a crowd of hundreds of shoppers rushing into the store to buy gallons of mayonaise and 100 packs of hot dogs.

All of the injured are listed in stable condition at the local hospital.

Not all of the blockades were successful. Washington, DC's World War II memorial was successfully invaded by a contingent of 80 and 90-year-old veterans. “We had White House authorization to use deadly force if necessary,” said Park Ranger Bob Weaver. “But without comprehensive gun control laws we couldn't be sure we wouldn't be outgunned. Let's not forget that some of these old guys stormed the beaches of Normandy facing down Nazi artillery and machine guns—firepower that, thus far, has been denied to us.”

it's only a matter of time...

The message from Rinos should be just how mean Obama is, being a bully to our honored veterans, closing open-air memorials, telling departments to "make it hurt".

But Nooo!! ..they want to find a camera or mic to bash Cruz, Lee and T.E.A. Partiers like me.

The little bastard boy-king is a petulant, bullying, narcissistic slacker. THIS is what the democrips party has become, petulant, arrogant (seen Harry Reid lately!), bullying, and increasing their criminal nepotism.

“Meanwhile, the October 1st implementation of the Obamacare exchanges has been largely a bust. Computer glitches impeded those few who tried to access the program. Others were stunned to discover that they must first provide an array of personal data before being allowed to see details on the insurance packages offered. Those overcoming qualms learned that the plans offered were significantly more expensive than they had been led to believe—more costly than coverages available prior to the Affordable Care Act.”

Not satire but reality.

The kinds of compromises that are off-limits according to Lew include “any modification to the Affordable Care Act not initiated at the President's sole discretion, any attempt to discontinue subsidies to any corporations carrying out the President's green energy program, and any action intended to reverse or limit the scope of any Executive Order issued by the President.”

I can't find even "semi" satire here.

The thought that national parks and monuments might belong to the American people never enters their pointed little heads.

But they don't belong to the people. They belong to the government which is not even close to the same thing. If you own something do you have to pay to use it? If you own something can someone else lock you out of it?

Well done! It must be getting harder than ever to post these before the Fedzilla crosses the line. They double down on doubling down on doubling down on stupid with increasing rapidity.

A couple of ways to fix this: 1) reduce the NPS finding to $1 per year (feral gubmint employees work free!) or 2) privatize all the public areas the NPS closed and have private operators or the states run them.

If that's a rescue vehicle, I'm the governor of Virginia.
