Speaking of lying. Don't know if this is true or not. But if it is, wtf?
Holder told the committee on May 15 that he was not involved in the potential prosecution of a reporter under the 1917 Espionage Act. Reports later surfaced that he had signed off on a search warrant and a subpoena for the records of Fox News reporter James Rosen.
EDIT: There is no link to the alleged report anywhere in the article.

Hah. I assume he means he'll just find and remove the people that complained, then carry on as usual with day-to-day corruption.

"We cannot in good conscience provide taxpayer dollars that are used to abuse the rights of American citizens," Republican Ander Crenshaw of Florida said
A wonder god didn't strike his ass down with lightning right there, as he uttered "taxpayer." Also voted for the bailout in '08 and to say "fuck it" to the debt ceiling.
Hey, remember when it was a big deal with Bush was tracking phone calls in which one of the parties was overseas, and they called it "domestic wire tapping?"
Yeah, well that is not a big deal anymore, and fuck you if you don't like it.

My wife's employer, a regional bank, is considering dropping their health insurance entirely because costs are going up so high, and just paying the penalty instead. Rumor has it there will be a 100% increase in cost this year.
They already stopped hiring full-time bank tellers in order to avoid the benefits requirements.
Unless Obamacare itself turns out to be amazing, I think we may see some SERIOUS opposition to it. Once anyone can figure out how it will work.
