I linked the Weasel Zippers' link in one of Lance's posts, but the Obamacare National Hotline 1-800 number spells out 1-800-F...UCKYO!

Only in California would they give 1 billion dollars worth of I Pads to students and then try to get them back because horror of horrors, the kids hacked them in a matter of minutes and then used them as they were intended to be used. Meanwhile, cities are going bankrupt.

Notice the lead picture (below the animated GIF) shows huge wasps. Those later turn out to be queens; the wasps that do the stinging are considerably smaller, perhaps 1/2 to 3/4 the size of your pinky finger. Still large for wasps -- but nowhere near the size of the queens.

And for good measure, the lead section of the story blames it on climate change.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." -- H.L. Mencken

"Who can forget those heady days in 2007, when then-B.C. premier Gordon Campbell launched his green agenda."

"The science is clear, he declared in the Liberal government’s speech from the throne. “It leaves no room for procrastination. Global warming is real.”

After personal meetings and photo opportunities with then-California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger — who, like Campbell, was a politician from the right who had embraced the mission of reducing greenhouse gas emissions — Campbell set out ambitious reduction targets in law."

A democrat who probably majored in journalism and works for a mens gossip column website tells you Everything you need to know about the government shut down.

"Greenpeace crew in ‘shock’ in Russian jails"

"The activists have complained of cold cells and a lack of suitable clothing and food, said Irina Paikacheva, the head of a state-connected regional prisoners’ rights watchdog.
