    Well, Is this not fun? Another round of BS. 2x + Premium jump expected…

    Who did this help? Is it more affordable then things were in the past? Are we better off then we were before?

      FFA, we seem to have an inexhaustible supply of spin doctors in this administration. I think Sebelius ran out of excuses, couldn’t or wouldn’t give correct info. I really don’t think this White House insider will do any better.

        I dont think any one knows what is exactly going on.

        On a different note, I caught the fist episode of The Americans. I’m hooked.

          Too bad you didn’t catch the first of the season on The Americans. I am amazed at all their disguises they use every week to do their deeds. Kerry Russell is really good in this show.

            FFA, you probably saw The Following last night. Joe Carroll is not for long and it will be over at least for this season. Coming up right behind is my favorite show – “24” with Kiefer Sutherland. I have been missing that terrific show.

            I did see that. During the coming previews, they said only two episodes left… I’ll be watching The Americans On demand. They are charging 0.99 cents per episode.

            You watch Game of Thrones too?

            You can also watch that show as well as a plethora of others at http://www.couchtuner.com

            I would recommend downloading ad-blocker+ to avoid popups.

    Ignorance, lies, corruption and piles of BS never works. I cannot imagine any Democrat except maybe those in leftist districts wanting to get within 100 miles of this garbage. For every one success their are 100 failures or more and in the end failure is never a good thing.

      FFA, I haven’t gotten into Game of Thrones. We have so many favorites to watch and I have to Tevo some that conflict with the ones I watch all the time. I have Netflix and order shows that I want to see. We hardly have time to watch a good movie anymore and have to wait until our shows are in hiatus. Another good series we have missed, but ordered on Netflix was “Homeland”. That is a good spy show as well. Kirstin Dunst is the star of that one and it was a Showtime series I believe.

        Homeland is indeed a very great and intense show. Although it’s Claire Danes as the star, not Kirsten Dunst.

        Game of Thrones is incredible if you like the medieval kind of theme. Sons of Anarchy is also a really good show. If you like alien invasion type stuff the TNT show “Falling Skies” is great.

          Sorry Destro, I got Claire and Kirstin mixed up. Both are hot and are very good actresses. We are trying to watch the new show called “Turn” that is about intrigue/spies in the Revolutionary War. It is a bit hard to follow with the characters and what they are doing.

            Agent, I highly recommend Game of Thrones. Need to watch it two time through to catch everything as they are constantly introducing new charters. They have too because they keep killing off main players. Another main one was killed off on Sunday. That one sucked me right in. Much the same as The Americans did.

            Destro, Been meaning to Catch Homeland, but have yet to be able to. Sons is a must watch for me anyways. Nuvo is re-showing The Shield again. Always like that show too. Boston Legal is an old fav I cant find on anywhere…

            I just ordered the first season of Game of Thrones from Netflix. Saw the first season of Newsroom and House of Cards and we were hooked! Second seasons of both not out yet. Watched first season of Breaking Bad, but not sure we’re all the way into it. Love Sons and Justified on FXX. Gotta try Homeland. Everyone seems to love it. I need to quit my job so I have enough time to watch everything!

            Hey FFA & Destro, did you catch “Fargo’s” first episode the other night? I really enjoyed the quirky movie when it came out some years back. I must say this TV series is equally quirky with the funny northern Minnesota accents. I have never heard so many yaaas in my life.

    And the GOP cries, for the sixteen thousandth time, that the devil ObamaCare must be repealed! And replaced! Replaced with… well, errhmm, uhh, replaced with the same things ObamaCare does, which was itself based on a Heritage Foundation GOP plan. But Republican style, without Obama’s name on it and stuff. We can call it BoehnerCare.

      Romneycare. After all, isn’t it a carbon copy of what he instituted in Massachusetts?

        Hardly a carbon copy Libby. Take Romneycare X 1,000 and you may be close. By the way, Romneycare proved to be unviable for Massachusetts as well.

        Libby, If such is true and it was a big mess / failure, then why roll it out to the entire country?
        If it is a carbon copy, then the success & credit & praise you say it is should be credited to Romney.

          What success, credit and praise??? I’ve just said the website was a fiasco, but the ACA is in infant stages so it’s too soon to call it a success or a failure.

            what ever the fall out – Good / Bad / Indifferent – By your statement, the blame / praise belongs to Romney if this is indeed a carbon copy of Romney Care in Mass.

            Actually, it belongs to the Heritage Foundation. They’re the ones that came up with it.

      Gee FFA, all the time, we thought Ezekiel Emanuel came up with Obamacare as its author. His plan as he admitted was to destroy the Health Insurance Industry. What a peach of a guy.

      I think it is more like Global Cooling FFA. Even down here, it is known as the winter that will never end. A 40 degree drop from the weekend to now.

      Do you have any ballplayers up there that can hit that the Rangers can pick up? Back to back 1-0 wins against the worst team in baseball, Houston Astros. Prince Fielder has been a disaster so far with his big fat contract.

        Have not had much time to watch any baseball this season… Our starting itching is solid. Thats it. That Short stop (Castro) cant field at all. According to Giangreco – he is the worst defensive shortstop in all of baseball. He cant hit the ball a ton. want a cheap base hit, just hit it at him. He is a great candidate for a DH.

      Maybe you two should bone up on Climate Change. Just because (scientific FACT) the world in becoming warmer, doesn’t mean it won’t be cold. Climate change explains how the warming is affecting weather patterns. You guys are just two old Republican farts. Educate yourselves!

        Its the never ending winter. Sounds like something from a tv show.
        Its not just been cold, it been record cold. Not to mention there is snow on the ground. May be gone in a few hours, but it is here.

    Still sticking to your story Libby? What a thorough brain washing you have received. By the way, the stupid people in Colorado just couldn’t explain why their predictions of last year’s hurricane season didn’t pan out. They have predicted a light season this year so that means we will have them.
