The GOP House voted to defund ObamaCare for the forty-second time. The medical community is split on ObamaCare. Psychiatrists say it’s madness, surgeons have washed their hands of it, and radiologists can see right through it, while proctologists get a workplace flashback whenever they see a congressman on television talking about it.

President Obama vowed to veto a government funding bill that defunds ObamaCare. We’re out of money shortly. The most embarrassing part is, by next week, our government could be shut down and Bashar al-Assad’s government could still be working.

Joe Biden landed in Colorado to inspect the damage from the flooding in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. he got the greenlight to go Sunday. FEMA said the destruction’s so complete that not even an appearance by Joe Biden can make it any worse.

President Obama began his U.N. week in New York by meeting with Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan. He later led a panel discussion on ways to bolster African nations. President Obama himself was in Africa only two months ago, renewing his birth certificate.

President Obama gave a speech to the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday in New York. He began by saying the world is a more stable place than it was five years ago. The best way to get the audience on your side is a good joke at the start of your speech.

Bashar al-Assad in an interview invited members of Congress to Syria to inspect his chemical wepaons removal. How stupid is Assad? If you think Obama had enough incentive to bomb Syria before, just imagine if House Republicans were over there.

New Zealand’s yachting team outsailed the Emirates yachting team in San Francisco Bay and neared winning the America’s Cup. It’s galling to locals. If it were up to the Democrats, the America’s Cup would start a half-mile upstream from Niagara Falls.

Apple released its new operating system along with forty pages of user terms and conditions. The warning is politically correct. They say if your iPhone is black and you make Siri do tasks for you, then you’re pretty much saying slavery was OK.

North Korea’s Kim Jun Un announced he’s ready for nuclear disarmament talks with the U.S. It’s a new low. Syria was bad enough for America’s image, but how bad does it look when the only person who can protect you from nuclear attack is Dennis Rodman?

French president Francois Hollande declared victory over al-Qaeda fighters in Africa after France’s army routed them in Mali. It’s their first win in two centuries. Nobody knows how many Frenchmen it takes to defend Paris because it’s never been tried.

Russia’s president Vladimir Putin announced he may run for a fourth term as president of Russia. He said he will listen to the people. In Russia’s last election, it’s widely believed that Vladimir Putin won over sixty percent of the vote, but who’s counting.

Breaking Bad was clearly the crowd favorite when it won the Emmy Award for Best Dramatic Series. It has a unique story arc. If you watch Breaking Bad backwards, it’s about a guy who wins his family’s love by bringing people back to life and uncooking meth.

The Washington Post reports the NSA has been using its spy satellites to monitor the telephone calls and the e-mails of the people in Mexico. How greedy is that? It’s not enough to spy on American citizens, they feel they have to spy on future American citizens.
