More ObamaCare transparency [Darleen Click]
Wednesday night prior to a major, national holiday, a quiet “annoucement.” The Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday that it will delay the launch of the online SHOP Marketplace — which is meant for small businesses — until November 2014. Officials did not give a hard deadline, though the start could easily slip past the 2014 midterms, sparing the administration any headaches right before the election.

“The Future That Never Comes”
Sultan Knish: The constant expansion and destructive acquisition of small innovative companies maintains the illusion that the latest digital horse is something special. It’s not. The unglamorous truth is that Google makes its money selling ad space to insurance companies and Microsoft makes its money releasing incremental updates to its flawed operating system that it alternately sabotages and then repairs. If you’re annoyed by Windows 8, don’t worry. Windows 9

“Let’s Talk About Thin Privilege”
Or rather, let’s listen to some sanctimonious twat pat herself on the back for speaking out for the poor fatties whom she evidently oppresses with her genetics and / or workout regimen, and which corpulent beasts need a thin women’s championing, lest the poor cows be left to fend for their waddling, huffing, portly selves in a society so unfair that its members are conditioned — brainwashed, in fact, be

“Obama personally lobbied on filibuster rule change”
Because you can’t spell “screw your separation of powers” without “do as I say, or else so help me, I’ll have Oprah call you racists.” And before you start in with your, “uh, those letters don’t match up, Jeff,” let me remind you that grammar, punctuation, and the alphabet itself are really nothing more than forms of institutionalized slavery meant to keep certain people in intellectual chains. It’s micro-oppressive aggressive

Generic Americans: critical, but never ever too judgmental
Geraghty points out the absurdity of the entire “Good Man” affectation adopted by many on both sides of the political aisle — the charge being to “criticize the policies but don’t attack the man/woman. Unless it’s some drooling teabagger with his racist code words and his self-aware assault weapons. In which case, go to town on those domestic terrorists and cultural anarchists, those revolting intolerant fringe extremists who, for the

Made it out of the sick bed to coach
…10 and unders in the Metro Youth Wrestling league up in Kersey CO yesterday morning. Satch had a few epic matches, including one against a kid working his best Ben Askren tripod bottom series (this kid was very good, the son of a coach); and a second match in which I had to lie about Satch’s weight in order for the opposing team’s coaches to allow him to go up

FINALLY … transparency from the Obama Administration [Darleen Click]
The 2014 enrollment period for ObamaCare is being delayed until AFTER the mid-term elections. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and a Department of Health and Human Services official confirmed the change to the 2014 sign-up on Friday. That decision does not affect those trying to enroll this year. Rather, it affects those who will sign up late next year for 2015 coverage. The administration will allow consumers to start
