ObamaCarenado – Snowden Storm
Rex Latchford here, back in New York for another DayPage!
More focus on Healthcare, or lack of it, today. I’m cruzin’ the New York Times, now that I’m back in town, and the paper is leading off with:
Health Law Fails to keep Prices Low in Rural Areas – More than half of the counties in 34 states on the Federally run health exchange are served by just one or two insurers, and surprise, surprise, the premiums are high in areas with the least competition.
The G.O.P., desperate to put down the Affordable Healthcare Act (known as Obamacare), and Emboldened by criticism of the exchange, Republicans are refocusing their efforts from denying funds for the law to investigating it.
Although the Video dates back to July, maybe we should taste Obamacarenado!
[G.O.P. ObamaCarenado Spot Soundtrack]
That’s the Republican-produced Video – Obamacarenado.
Speaking of storms, a year after… storm victims in ‘Joisey say that Governor Chris Christie used the disaster to promote himself. Noooooooo kiddin……
Speaking of Nooooo [kidding] JP Morgan faces a possible penalty in the Madoff Case. Authorities suspect that JPMorgan Chase turned a blind eye to Bernard L. Madoff’s Ponzi scheme, and they are said to be pursuing a type of prosecution deal that is nearly unheard-of for a large American bank. They’re going to say “you’re bad, now say you’re sorry”.
Moving right along…
Pyongyang (that’s the capital city of North Korea, so that’s what papers, which should know better, call the country. Did they forget the name “North Korea”? Remember their name! Anyway, they say they’ll finally release those 6 South Korean Detainees. Meanwhile, so called “activity” is seen (by snooper satellite) at North Korean Nuclear Test Site. The NSA isn’t saying but could it be those skinny lookin’ North Korean pom-pom girls working out?
Time Warner Cable finally agrees to distribute Al Jazeera America. Ahhh, the land of the fee and the home of the censored.
Just in time for Halloween, Web Sites about Grave Sites.
On the Snowden Storm… Germany simmered in its’ palpable anger at the United States, barely containing fury over reports that NSA and it’s pals tapped Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone. As you may know, France, Brazil, and a number of other companies are Livid with the US – and the US’s response – “nada”. This attitude is expected to cost American business hundreds of billions of dollars. Great job, intelligence dudes. Or are you just dumb dudes? It’s time for the total surveillance state to be disbanded and for our formerly great country to get back to some kind of normal. The alternative is still more economic turmoil, unemployment, and all that other fun stuff we’ve been paying our taxes for.
That’s it. that’s all I can take. Join me tomorrow for another DayPage. You can find the rest at DayPage.net, a production of Radio InfoWeb. See ya!
