ObamaCare Victory Lap
The world’s least likely NASCAR driver took a Rose Garden victory lap to celebrate the sudden sign up of 7.1 million souls for ObamaCare. There was no mention of how many of those souls paid a premium, which is required to actually have coverage. Also unheard from were the 6 million or so who lost their coverage, doctor, or both due to changes required by the new health care law.
President Mocks Republicans after his Victory Lap
The most notable unmentionable, however, was ACA Czar Kathleen Sebelius. The president ignored her during his shout-outs to other Democrats among the Rose Garden gathering. President Obama did stop short of further humiliation for Sebelius by not mocking her as he did Republican opponents of the unpopular legislation.
Also missing from the victory lap crowd were red state Democrats up for re-election.
It wasn’t all gauche behavior by the Driver-in-Chief of ObamaCare. The president modestly declined to call attention to his own unilateral changes to the law of the land.
Northwestern Wildcat Strike
If the Northwestern University football team goes on strike would it be a Wildcat strike? The NLRB ruled last week that the players could form a union. The university is appealing the decision.
Personally I think the players ought to be cut in on the booty they produce for huge money making athletic programs. According to ESPN the AD at The Ohio State University gets an $18,000 bonus for Logan Stieber winning an NCAA wrestling championship.
Dayton Flyers Strike Again
Most schools like the Elite Eight Dayton Flyers don’t have that kind of money to throw around. Actually this was just an excuse for me to work my Flyers into a cartoon.
Update: The Flyers played hard but so did Florida and they were a little bigger and better.
Olympic Flameout
Finland sent the Russian Olympic hockey team home today without a medal. Oh wait they are home.
Last night Ukraine went up in flames. So I drew this cartoon. President Obama drew this red line. Again.
Olympic Flameout Update:
Putin doesn’t make the medal round in Ukraine protests. USA flames out against Canada and then lays an enormous goose egg against Finland 5-0.
Leading from behind fails again.
Sochi Spy Swap
There will be no Sochi Spy Swap for Edward Snowden.
Senator Mark Warner wants to deport Justin Bieber to Canada. He could go to jail. Pussy Riot has already been there.
Pussy Rioters served Russian prison time for protesting President Putin’s human rights record. That and desecrating a church. In Bieber’s case it would be for assaulting his limo driver. Or for assaulting his jet pilot with second hand pot smoke.
No Sochi Spy Swap but Snowden Welcome
Putin says Edward Snowden is welcome to attend the Sochi Olympics. Pussy Riot, not so much.
I meant to include a shirtless Putin but ran out of room.
Peyton Manning Code Cracker
Richard Sherman cracked the Peyton Manning code. He says he and his teammates figured out Manning’s hand signals based on the situation and knew what play was coming in a advance.
