    50 repeal votes, the Swiss have not had that many, and their healthcare law has some similarities with the ACA. They had one referendum after it passed both houses of the parliament and the Federal Council, and a few votes to replace it, with single payer.

    “The FBI has launched an investigation of the Corrections Corporation of America over the company’s running of an Idaho prison with a reputation so violent that inmates dubbed it ‘Gladiator School.’

    “The Nashville, Tenn.-based CCA has operated Idaho’s largest prison for more than a decade, but last year, CCA officials acknowledged it had understaffed the Idaho Correctional Center by thousands of hours in violation of the state contract.

    “CCA also said employees falsified reports to cover up the vacancies. The announcement came after an Associated Press investigation showed CCA sometimes listed guards as working 48 hours straight to meet minimum staffing requirements.

    “The Idaho State Police was asked to investigate the company last year but didn’t, until amid increasing political pressure, the governor ordered the agency to do so last month. Democratic state lawmakers asked the FBI to take up the case last month.”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: This is a REPUBLICAN bumfuck. It’s REPUBLICANS who want to privatize government functions. It’s REPUBLICANS who own and run these private contractors that make outsized profits by underdelivering promised services. It’s REPUBLICANS who cover up privatization failures like this one. Don’t vote Republican unless this is the kind of government you want.

    Terrorism Suspected In Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight

    “A key question facing investigators after a Malaysia Airlines flight went missing will be why it dropped off the radar without its pilots transmitting any last messages, an aviation expert said. ‘This was a modern, latest generation airplane which has gone missing,’ said David Learmont, operations and safety editor at Flight International magazine, told NBC News. ‘These don’t just fall out of the sky. Modern airplanes just don’t.'”

    http://www.nbcnews.com/storyli.....ert-n47711

    Meanwhile, Austria and Italy said their foreign nationals listed as passengers aboard the missing plane were, in fact, safe on the ground and both had reported their passports were stolen in Thailand, so it appears people impersonating them boarded the plane for unknown reasons. U.S. authorities said this opened the possibility of terrorism, but “its very early” in the investigation.

    http://www.nbcnews.com/storyli.....say-n47861

    As of this morning, it’s night over the Gulf of Thailand, and the search has been suspended until daylight; but Vietnamese Air Force planes spotted large oil slicks in the area where the plane lost contact. The Gulf of Thailand is very shallow, averaging 120 feet deep and less than 250 feet at its deepest point, so the wreckage should be within reach of divers.

    In sum, the GOP’s tough-love stimulus of allowing long-term UI benefits to expire has produced no detectable effect on employment, or improvement of any other kind, for the long-term unemployed. We can allow this cruel experiment to continue, but the only group likely to benefit would be congressional Democrats eager to use UI benefit cancellation against the Republicans in the next midterm election.

    Ideology slams into reality. I used to be republican leaning when it came to money, but I can never vote for those kind of republicans who value greed over governing.

    Kansas is a sucky tea party paradise. It appalls even the Kansas Supreme Court:

    Wading into a battle being fought in state capitols across the nation, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled Friday that disparities in the public funding of school districts violate the state constitution.

    The court ordered Kansas to cure these disparities by July 1 and asked a lower court to evaluate how much the state should be investing in public schools…

    In January 2013, a three-judge panel ruled on the side of the school districts, saying that it was “completely illogical” for the state to cut taxes while blaming an economic downturn for spending cuts. It ordered lawmakers to raise base state aid per pupil to $4,492 from $3,838. The state appealed that ruling.

    Conservative tea bagging freaks are a disease..

    Sure is sad to see the left wrong spinmeisters trying to say Sarah Palin didn’t say something they chose to ridicule in 2008.

    And… naturally Da Perfessa, purveyor of Friday Night leftwrong horse manure… provides their left wrong commentary!

    @11

    Well there is the fact that a Grayson campaign staffer filmed the “push” on a cell phone, turned it over and police didn’t charge him. It only showed Lolita Grayson trying to slap the Congressman in the face and then retreating into the house. Lolita also claimed to have kneed the Congressman in the stomach in self defense but pesky cell phone video…it didn’t happen.

    Rep. Alan Grayson won’t be charged.

    I know you have a giant woody for the story to be true, but alas…

    On the other hand, I have no proof that Piddles doesn’t beat his wife but I’ve heard that he does.

  14. 14

    Too bad Palin couldn’t have predicted that someone would ask her “what magazines do you read?”

  15. 15

    Rep. Alan Grayson won’t be charged.

    Giant woody? Alan Grayson… Boy, you need your head checked…

    BTW the protection order against Grayson hasn’t been voided.

    And you can “claim” all you want against Mrs Puddy. Your claims are all lies like the other horse manure you proffer here! We know you beat your small meat each day on HA!

  16. 16

    Too bad Palin couldn’t have predicted that someone would ask her “what magazines do you read?”

    And that has to do with her Russia and Ukraine prediction how hans? Remember it was you lefttards who claimed she could see Russia from Alaska. Except she never said it!

  18. 18

    Seems I may have touched a nerve.

    “Your honor, my husband beats me, I need a protective order.” Mrs Puddy.

    “Mr. Puddy, can you PROVE you never beat your wife? No? Motion granted, you must stay away from Mrs. Puddy.” Judge.

    Now I’m not saying that Puddy ks a wifebeater, but the judge says Puddy is a wifebeater.

  19. 19

    Remember it was you lefttards who claimed she could see Russia from Alaska. Except she never said it

    How does that have anything to do with her failure to predict a question?

  20. 20

    I have a question.

    Why is it, that the Teahaddanistas will take a book as an example and then make up their own words for it, totally altering the basic premise?

    Green Eggs and Ham were written at the First Grade level, and they STILL CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT. They cannot read critically. Not even at the fucking FIRST GRADE level. No wonder she couldn’t answer Katie’s question. She didn’t know any newspapers or magazine titles. She’d never read a single one. She had never been required to read anything in detail in her entire life.

    Except perhaps her husband’s Playboys and Swanks.

    I swear these idiots have congenital Syphilis or Taxoplasmosis or something.

  21. 21

    She is the living representation of the infantilization of American politics, a poisonous Grimm Sister telling toxic fairy tales to audiences drunk on fear, and hate and nonsense. She respects no standards but her own. She is in perpetual tantrum, railing against her betters, which is practically everyone, and volunteering for the job of avatar to the country’s reckless vandal of a political Id. It was the address of a malignant child delivered to an audience of malignant children. If you applauded, you’re an idiot and I feel sorry for you.

    Lulz.

    @16 “Remember it was you lefttards who claimed she could see Russia from Alaska. Except she never said it!”

    Except she did say it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGSJCDw3ZBw

    Took me less than 10 seconds to find that video clip. I wonder why Puddy couldn’t find it? Maybe because he didn’t look?

  24. 24

    Remember it was you lefttards who claimed she could see Russia from Alaska. Except she never said it!

    Here’s what she said:

    GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?

    PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.

    http://abcnews.go.com/Politics.....ePage=true

    The dumbass troll is trying to be technically correct. Is the idiot claiming Palin believes Charlie Gibson could see Russia from that island in Alaska and not her?

    The poor quitter has eyesight problems. Useless without her glasses.

  25. 25

    @22. Cause the person who pretends to be Puddy doesn’t care about the truth, he will type anything to promote a toxic agenda to get attention. He’s a self deluded fool.

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
