DayVII

1-Seems O'Care had additional hardware and software glitches. System took another time-out. Maybe early on applicants have an demographic problem. Too few younger folks > 26 are applying? Frau Fuhrer was on Jon Steward last night trying to explain, what the problem(s) are, to no avail. 2-pp recently said, over a hamburger and fries in a local DC joint, that he has bent over backwards trying to work with the CTPR leadership. A spineless jellyfish he. Last week he called the leaders of CTPR and LDP to WH to advise he was not going to negotiate with applicable parties period. 3-Could the two US raids in N.Africa over the w/e: Tripoli, Libya and Nairobi, Kenya be just a diversion from the mounting pressure over the partical gov't slimdown. The terrorist leader in Libya( on the lamb for ~16 years could of been nabbed weeks, maybe years ago. The Kenyan raid was a bust. 4-Speaking of cuts: Even Catholic priest in the military or on contract with the military were barred from saying Sunday mass. Not sure if Muslim services were affected last Friday nor Jewish services on Saturday? 5-A US citizen sets himself afire on the Washington mall, for no apparent reason other to make Greater DC, a killing ground. 6-SOD Hagel must of tuned in to the TV show last week, which featured his two pp predecessors of the SODs. He took independent steps to call back to work most of the Pentagon's "non-essentional" civlian employees. Our nation security has priority over pp's secret agenda. 7-Appears the pp's gov't slimdown is being erroded by the ever ebb tide of reality.
