Hee.

They're all fuckheads.

I saw a fabulous clip last night of Christopher Hayes schooling Fox News on the actual ACA. Fox is selling the most ridiculous lies about the law, it's amazing. Including the assertion that the law has failed because only 1% of people without insurance have been covered so far. Hayes pointed out this was because the law hasn't gone into effect yet.

Not enough face-palm in the world!

RAAAAAAAAAAGE.

I wish I had something more coherent to say than this, but I'm all about the primal scream right now.

Perhaps Ted Cruz will carry on with this tantrum until he actually does hold his breath until he passes out, at which point the grown-ups can move in and take over?

I suppose I should apologize for Ted Cruz, but Texas is a really big state, and that's a slippery slope.

Like.

Timelies all!

I'm a "non-essential" federal employee.

Fuckers.

I'm soothing myself with a little Charlie Pierce.

In the year of our Lord 2010, the voters of the United States elected the worst Congress in the history of the Republic. There have been Congresses more dilatory. There have been Congresses more irresponsible, though not many of them. There have been lazier Congresses, more vicious Congresses, and Congresses less capable of seeing forests for trees. But there has never been in a single Congress -- or, more precisely, in a single House of the Congress -- a more lethal combination of political ambition, political stupidity, and political vainglory than exists in this one, which has arranged to shut down the federal government because it disapproves of a law passed by a previous Congress, signed by the president, and upheld by the Supreme Court, a law that does nothing more than extend the possibility of health insurance to the millions of Americans who do not presently have it, a law based on a proposal from a conservative think-tank and taken out on the test track in Massachusetts by a Republican governor who also happens to have been the party's 2012 nominee for president of the United States.

But, on an important tip, is Jennifer Aniston sincerely not married yet? I thought she was supposed to be both pregnant and getting surprise married any upcoming weekend, but that doesn't seem to have either happened or changed yet...

What is the appeal of Jennifer Aniston? She's a moderately pleasant looking person, and I suppose she's as talented as any other successful comedic actress. Why are the tabloids so breathlessly interested in her?

She has a really good publicist?
