Overnight Open Thread (28 Dec 2013)

This is a good question. When will insurers ever say enough's enough? As it stands, I have little sympathy towards insurers. They willingly got in bed with this administration on this.

How can anyone run a business this way? This is worse than being a federal agency. No federal agency would be expected to stop and start on a personal whim like this. These aren’t rules, they aren’t regulations, they are dictates based on nothing more than Kathleen Sebelius’ momentary feelings.

These are only the “glitches” that have been made public. God knows what orders and threats are being issued in closed-door meetings.

How long will the insurance industry abide being treated like shoe shine boys?


Shoes

Alright 'ettes, here's my penance for the spider video last night. Crazy high heel designs.

Flower Ammo

A 12 gauge shotgun shell that lets you fire flower seeds with a shotgun. Um, yeah, OK. 4 shells for $50??? Must have marijuana seed in it. Jeez.

Naval Aviation

Marine Corps Standards

Suhprise, suhprise. OK not really. US Marine Corps has quietly pushed back a deadline that requires all female Marines to do three (yes three!) pullups. I'm sorry, but if one cannot do three pullups, then perhaps seeking employment in something combat related should not be considered.

Famous Movie Scenes...

...done with animals.

Obama vs Israel

Jeez. Now the administration is telling Israeli generals to stop being so concerned about Israeli security concerns. Umm, that's their job and is essential to their survival and existence.

Global Warmists Trapped

Australian ice-breaker closes in on trapped global warmist ship as Chinese ice-breaker retreats to open ocean. Guess they should've consulted actual weather reports and not AGW models to plan their route.

Aurora captain Murray Doyle said it was always possible the ice would be too thick for the Xue Long.

''We were always option B,'' he said. ''We were always going to be sent on until the end.''

Reports from the Chinese ice-breaker and the Akademik Shokalskiy say pack ice in the area is 10/10ths, which means the vessel is surrounded, and some ice floes are between three and four metres thick.

The Aurora could comfortably slice through ice up to 1.35 metres thick, and crash through thicker slabs by reversing and ramming.

But Mr Doyle was unsure how the ice-breaker would handle ice thicker than three metres. ''It's not what we're built for,'' he said.

Did You Know....

....that this administration believes it has cut the deficit in half since 2009? Just wow.
