I am sure we repay this…well…at least our kids will.

McDonald’s has offered their part time employees cheap, affordable health care.  Thanks to Obamacare that effort must come to an end.  The issue is Obamacare dictates that a certain percentage of revenue has to go to claims rather than administrative costs.  When this plan is dropped these people will have no choice but expensive comprehensive plans. 

This part of Obamacare is intentional.  It is designed to move people to the government run health care it creates.  The bill is so poorly written it is forcing its mandate in an illogical order.

“But Obama promised we would not loose our coverage and could keep what we have!”    …..and you believed him?????

This is why so many were screaming from the rooftops when this turd of a bill was going through congress.   It was INCREDIBLY obvious the administration was being dishonest about the contents of the bill.  The media happily reported little of this in their effort to give the administration cover.   Not to worry…in the long run your kids will pay the price.   You just have to gut it out for a few decades.

Dems have so alienated the masses that their “pounding the table” comes across as insulting, manipulative and petty.  Like a five year old who feels wronged based on unrealistic expectations, the dems will next try stomping their feet and holding their breath.  Feel free to pass them a plastic bag with tape.

Predicted by many.  An obvious implication of Obamacare.

The video is poor quality and smuggled in from a Taliban controlled area in Pakistan. 

She is tethered to the ground with a hood.   She clings to life as long as she can.

The mission often goes into low security systems as outlined in the below screen shot.  When I did the mission it went to a 0.5 system.

Once you arrive in the mission system and warp to the mission area you will have a jump gate to go through.  Going through the jump gate you see the below.  Make sure you target the “drone energy succubus” as outlined in the mission brief.  The screen shot below is targeting the “drone  structure” which is pointless to the mission objective.

The screen shot below is as bad as it gets..no worries. Once you shoot the “succubus” the waves of drones will start.  They come six at a time in about five waves.  The last two waves are bigger drones pictured below.  It is short work, taking maybe ten minutes.

I was expecting to go in low sec and used a Caldari Navy Hookbill with Zach Donnell’s PVP Fitting.  It worked great.  I never got below 92% shields.  I was using the wrong ammo (kinetic) so most drones took two or three volleys.  EM would be better.  T2 ammo was used.  Missiles and Frigate skills are all level five. 

My security status topped out at 5.88.

via Hot Air » Insurers to drop child-only plans

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connecticut requested a wide range of premium increases, which will take effect Oct. 1, to cover the costs of new benefits required by federal health reform. Higher prices mostly affect new members shopping for a health plan on the individual market rather than people who have group plans through an employer or some other organization.

The Connecticut Department of Insurance approved Anthem’s request without changes, including a boost of as much as 22.9 percent just to comply with one provision: eliminating annual spending limits per customer. But it’s unclear how much more customers will pay because of the variety of plans and the complexity of other factors, such as a person’s age.

New provisions mandated by federal law to start Thursday include allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ plan until they turn 26, eliminating annual and lifetime limits on the amount of money an insurer spends per customer and mandating that insurers cover the full cost of preventive services, such as mammogramsand colonoscopies.

The looming question is how much those new mandated benefits, along with rising medical costs, will raise prices for health insurance next year. Insurers will submit a new batch of rate requests in October and November to take effect in 2011.

I need to tell my mother in-law…”if the kid can do it so can you!”

Just a quick note to advise that I am now in Afghanistan, I’ve left civilization.  Right now I’m in Kandahar and will be traveling to Helmand in the next day or so.  Ah life is grand.

I thought this piece was interesting.  While we all know the threat Iran poses to our nation, the world, and the Middle East, not much is reported on their political realities.  Iran is going through some tough times, so it is no wonder Ahmadi-Nejad tries to divert his people’s attentions by saber rattling—this is a time honored, traditional approach practiced by all, from tin-pot dictators to Clinton (Serbian War anyone?).

The fact is, Iran is hurting.  Their oil exports are down 90%.  Oil infrastructure capabilities have been attacked, and the people seem to hate their president, including elements of the military.  In a funny development, their military shot down their own drones believing them to be foreign drones spying.  Classic!

This is a difficult time however as this is how wars can start.  Many times, a regime in trouble may opt to strike, blame “others” and bring a region (even the world) into chaos, thus destabilizing the area.  This is the time for our country to take the advantage.  While BHO does nothing, we should be funding anti-government elements and freedom opposition groups in Iran to their fullest.   The best result would be an implosion from within such as we witnessed in E. Europe in the late 1980s.

In any event, not all is roses with that screw loose in Iran…
