   http://finance.yahoo.com/news/obamacare-shotgun-wedding-marry-lose-091500078.html Part of the text: Here’s where the law of unintended consequences comes into Obamacare. Thanks to the exchange programming, consumers are getting enrolled in Medicaid whether they understand what that means or not, and in much greater numbers than before. (In the first month, nearly 90 percent of all the enrollees in the federal and state exchanges were Medicaid applicants.) Unless they look at the fine print in the paperwork in Washington and other states with similar asset-forfeiture regulations, any assets they own will not pass to their heirs but to the state instead. …

   The DEA struck a deal with Mexico's most notorious drug cartel

   http://www.businessinsider.com/the-us-government-and-the-sinaloa-cartel-2014-1 An investigation by El Universal found that between the years 2000 and 2012, the U.S. government had an arrangement with Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel that allowed the organization to smuggle billions of dollars of drugs while Sinaloa provided information on rival cartels. Sinaloa, led by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, supplies 80% of the drugs entering the Chicago area and has a presence in cities across the U.S. Sweet! Maybe we'll team up with Al Qaeda next to get info about rival terrorist organizations.

    The Middle East Problem (Wall of text/Political Incorrectness) 1 2

    Iraq was a pretty decent country before it was invaded. Despite his dictatorial tendencies, Saddam controlled the country, and effectively stabilized it. The same goes with Bashar al Assad in Syria. Iraq and Syria were fairly stable until their leaders were removed. In fact, most of the Middle East was without major problems prior to the Iraq War and the ridiculous Arab Spring. You may not be aware of this, but guys like Saddam, al Assad, Ben Ali (Tunisia) and Mubarrak were secularists. They hardly cared about religion barring some exceptions. I do concede that Saddam was ruthless (w/ the Kurds), and al Assad has mishandled the revolution, but my point still stands, over…

    I remember many of us saying that we didn't believe the Obama administration and their information regarding the sarin gas attack in Syria. Many of us believed this had a WMDs in Iraq feel to it. Most of us also believed that the rebels, aka Al Qaeda, were most likely behind the sarin attack. As more and more information starts to come out...we see we were right. http://news.yahoo.com/seymour-hersh-alleges-obama-administration-lied-syria-gas-204437397.html Thank God we didn't start another war over this BS.

    Sanaa, Yemen (CNN) -- A U.S. drone mistakenly targeted a wedding convoy in Yemen's al-Baitha province after intelligence reports identified the vehicles as carrying al Qaeda militants, two Yemeni national security officials told CNN on Thursday. The officials said that 14 people were killed and 22 others injured, nine in critical condition. The vehicles were traveling near the town of Radda when they were attacked. "This was a tragic mistake and comes at a very critical time. None of the killed was a wanted suspect by the Yemeni government," said a top Yemeni national security official who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to talk to media.

    I have one (sort of). I signed up for Obamacare on the Covered California site over the Thanksgiving weekend. The whole thing was a breeze, took under 45 minutes. The site works great, very easy to navigate. They told me Blue Cross would be contacting me with payment information. I must pay them my first months' premium by Dec 26th in order for me to be covered come January 1st. There was one glitch. The link they gave me that was supposed to set up my payment with them is dead. When I logged in to Blue Cross (I'm currently a member), all they have is my current plan and billing info. Nothing at all about my new policy. When I called them, I got a recording tellin…
