Busy weekend, with lots of non-political stuff, so here’s last week’s LinkSwarm this week:
The Tea Party helped launch the shutdown because the GOP establishment failed so utterly to limit bloated government.
Well, that’s a scary chart. (Via Instapundit.)
Is ObamaCare increasing premiums in all 50 states? Nonsense! Only in 45.
“If you like your health insurance, you can keep it suck it when it’s cancelled due to ObamaCare.”
They’re tracking a huge amount of ObamaCare enrollment data over at http://www.enrollmaven.com/.
Number of people who have bought private insurance through ObamaCare in Oregon: 0. You’d think there would be more than that, what with the widespread dysentery and all…
Add New York doctors to those experiencing the Obamacare fail.
And the ObamaCare situation is worse than you thought.
Who won the shutdown? Ted Cruz.
Cruz wins Values Summit Presidential straw poll.
Also receives a warm welcome coming home to Texas. “After two months in Washington, it’s great to be back in America.”
Young people in Japan just can’t be bothered to have relationships or children. I wonder if any Guardian readers noticed that the declining birth rates in such a society must inevitably doom their European-style cradle-to-grave welfare states…
Missed this earlier: Australian University bans entire run of student newspaper for cartoon critical of Islam. (Indirectly via Popehat.)
Tea Party members have a better than average grasp on science. And of course, we all know liberals don’t understand debt…
Jews start leaving France.
Dilbert creator Scott Adams on success: “Goals are for losers.”
Heard a grapevine report that “the Austin American-Statesman has offered early retirement to 34 reporters and editors.” No linkable source yet.
The man who stole Christmas sentenced to prison.
Remembering the dark years of the Jennifer Plague.
A look at the strange goings-on of the Grambling football team. Honestly, unless the university is completely and utterly broke, it sounds like someone in the administration was embezzling funds and is now trying to cover their tracks…
U.S. does Mexico a solid in that game where you kick that round ball.
