What’s interesting in the news today?

1. ObamaCare?…  Affordable Care Act?…….

Nope, doesn’t ring a bell…..

From NationalReview  “At this point, the real action of 2014 will be in the red state Senate races in Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, South Dakota, and Montana. Unsurprisingly, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee isn’t so eager to talk about Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act — at least on their home page.

The only reference to “health” on the DSCC home page right now is a John Walsh tweet that “#MT can’t afford ppl like @SteveDaines who don’t believe in a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions” and a generic “war on women” blog post that claims “We must do everything in our power to protect women’s rights and women’s health.”

The words “Affordable Care Act” and “Obamacare” do not currently appear on the home page of the DSCC web site, nor do the words “exchange” or “insurance” or any other reference to the president’s signature domestic legislation, impacting families, workers, and businesses right now.”

As if we’d let them get off that easy. 🙄

2. This is what Democrats consider success. This is also why having your state running one of these debacles is a bad idea. Thankfully I live in a state that refused.

3. Four minutes. That’s how long it took to hack HealthCare.gov.

From TheDailyCaller  “David Kennedy, the hacking expert that shook the country this week with his congressional testimony about the security failures of HealthCare.gov, explained Sunday how he was able to penetrate the site.

“There’s a technique called, what we call ‘passive reconnaissance,’” Kennedy explained to “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace, “which allows us to query and look at how the website operates and performs.”

“And these type of attacks that I’m mentioning here, and the 70,000 [personal records Kennedy found] that you’re referencing, is very easy to do,” Kennedy continued. “It’s a rudimentary type attack that doesn’t actually attack the website itself. It extracts information from it without actually having to go into the system.”

4. The walk back.

From TheWeeklyStandard  “New York governor Andrew Cuomo came under fire for criticizing pro-life and pro-Second Amendment citizens of his state — and saying “that is not who New Yorkers are.”

“Now his office is backtracking and insisting that the governor said “‘it is fine’ to be anti-gun control, and anti-choice – as he respects both positions.

The video at the link demonstrates otherwise, in his own words.

5. Here’s a fun one.

From Time  “See how your preferences in dogs, Internet browsers, and 10 other items predict your partisan leanings.”

I’m 87% conservative.
