  1. The Department of Health and Human Services extended the deadline for individuals who want to be covered on the first of the year from Dec. 23 to Dec. 31.
    More deadlines could be bended later and it is “considering moving the deadline to a later date should exceptional circumstances pose barriers to consumers.”
    Feyman doesn’t rule out another delay in the future,
    “This screws insurers,” he says. “I don’t know any insurer that can get coverage ready to go in one day.”

    The health insurance companies begged for this crap, they advertised for this crap,
    and they lobbied for this shit.
    Now, I can’t think of anyone that needs screwing more than they do..

  2. EBD:
    It’s interesting that you should feature this song in Czech. In French, it’s known as ”J’attendrai” (I’ll wait) and performed by a host of popular singers. In Italian it’s under the title of ”Tornerai” (You will return) and in German they named it ”Komm zurück” (Come back.)
    It was a favorite amongst German soldiers during WWII. If any of your are familiar with the movie ”Das Boot” you will recall that the crew of U-96, while in the North Sea at night, played it on the Sub’s turntable and in French. A classic moment in foreign movie history.
    enjoy.

    “Flirty Obama owes us an apology”
    “Maybe he went into sugar shock over a Danish pastry.
    The president of the United States, leader of the free world, standard-bearer for everything upright, good and wholesome about the nation he leads, lost his morality, his dignity and his mind, using the solemn occasion of Nelson Mandela’s memorial service Tuesday to act like a hormone-ravaged frat boy on a road trip to a strip bar.
    In front of 91 world leaders, the mourning nation of South Africa and Obama’s clearly furious wife, Michelle, the president flirted, giggled, whispered like a recalcitrant child and made a damn fool of himself at first sight of Denmark’s voluptuously curvy and married prime minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt.
    Not to be outdone by the president’s bad behavior, the Danish hellcat hiked up her skirt to expose long Scandinavian legs covered by nothing more substantial than sheer black stockings.”

  5. Turns out he is a Nigerian and his sign language told a story about needing help to retrieve a very large inheritance from the bank and all he needs is a nice person in the 1st world to help him. He guarantees you will be well rewarded for your efforts.
    Only a Nigerian would have the balls to take their email scam onto the world stage with sign language.
    Priceless.

    “More Snow, Cold in Jerusalem Through Saturday”
    “Snowfall amounts have been varied across the city and surrounding area with as much as 30 cm (12 inches), according to The Jerusalem Post.”
    “Significant accumulating snow, such as what has occurred the past few days, is much more rare.
    This marks the third year in a row for snowfall in Jerusalem,.”

  8. Only a few months after voting to enact Canada’s first anti-cyberbullying act, actress-turned-Nova Scotia MLA Lenore Zann has employed the new law to launch an investigation against a teenaged constituent she alleges was cyberbullying her on Twitter.
    Ms. Zann’s complaint, made earlier this month to the province’s newly opened CyberSCAN investigation unit, concerned 17-year-old high school student Nick Scissons who, on November 29, tweeted a nude image of Ms. Zann pulled from her 2008 performance on the Showtime drama series The L Word.
    The scene in question takes place in the public shower of a women’s prison, and depicts a fully nude Ms. Zann intimidating a fellow inmate with a shiv.
    Irony is alive and well.
