Just 51,000 sign up for insurance through Healthcare.gov the first week
Anyone got a calculator? Let's figure out what 51,000 out of a potential 30 million uninsured managed to get on Obama's broken website.
For 3 years, we've been hearing Obama and Democrats warn about the 30 million desperate Americans who needed health insurance. So how many people sign up for Obamacare during its first week? A measly 51,000.
What does that say about the Chicken Little Caucus?

Pa. Lawmaker Wants Maximum Speed Limit Raised To 70
In reality, most Pennsylvania drivers do at least 70 mph on most of the state's highways, so I'm not sure what the harm would be to raising the speed limit.
Also keep in mind that Scarnati represents one of the most rural legislative districts in Pennsylvania, one that has few police officers patrolling interstate highways, so I'm sure people are already doing a lot more than 70 mph.
On the other hand, is this really the most pressing issue facing Pennsylvania residents or is this another legislator looking for something to keep himself busy with instead of tackling real issues?
Scarnati
issued the following statement regarding his proposal to increase the maximum
speed limit on Pennsylvania interstate highways and the Pennsylvania
Turnpike:
Today I have circulated a co-sponsorship memo for legislation I intend to introduce which would increase the maximum speed limit on Pennsylvania interstate highways and the Pennsylvania Turnpike from 65 to 70 miles per hour.Increasing Pennsylvania’s maximum speed limit on interstate highways and the PA Turnpike will allow for better traffic flow and provide for greater efficiency in the delivery of goods throughout the Commonwealth. Numerous other states have already taken the step to allow for traveling at a maximum speed of 70 MPH or more.Over the last two decades since Pennsylvania’s maximum speed limit was last set, our vehicles have become more technically efficient and safety standards have continued to increase. As we move forward with this measure a significant component of the legislation will focus on ensuring necessary traffic and engineering studies are completed prior to increasing the speed limit on any stretch of highway.
Study: Obamacare could tax Berks County down the line
Mike Urban of he Reading Eagle has a fascinating story today about how Obamacare will end up screwing Berks County workers, many of whom are Democrats who supported Obama:
Berks County will pay an additional $25 million in Obamacare taxes from 2018 to 2022 unless it reduces the level of health care coverage given to its employees, according to a consultant's study.Study: Obamacare could tax Berks down the line

Newspaper won't print opinions that dispute global warming
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but if you're a reader of the Los Angeles Times, you'll have to keep those opinions to yourself - unless you share the same views as the newspaper's far-left editorial board.
In a shocking new policy that essentially censors all opinions that differ from those of the L.A. Times liberal staff, you must accept the highly-disputed view of climate change or you don't get to have a say in the newspaper.
This is how the Times' letters editor summed up the paper's policy of rejecting all opinions that do no conform:
In other words, freedom of the press is only reserved for those who own the press.

put, I do my best to keep errors of fact off the letters page; when

have caused climate change" is not stating an opinion, it's asserting a
factual inaccuracy.

AP Poll: Obama Job Approval Drops To 37%
The Associated Press, a left-leaning news organization that no longer pretends to hide its political bias, conducted one of its periodic polls of President Obama's job approval. The results? Just 37 percent of Americans approve of the job Obama is doing. So how does the AP report Obama's stunning decline in popularity? By burying the news in the eighth paragraph of the story, of course.
That's right. The wire service manages to hide the biggest news in its own poll deep inside the story. You had to wade through seven long paragraphs of superfluous information to get to the real news in the poll. That, my friends, is what is know as liberal media bias.
Check out the poll results for yourself here.

The district must always be mindful of the sensitivity of all the members of the community with regard to holidays and celebrations of a religious, cultural or secular nature. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that school districts may not endorse, prefer, favor, promote or advance any religious beliefs...."Montco elem. school cancels Halloween
