Peter Coyne "A recent CNBC poll found more Americans oppose Obamacare than oppose the Affordable Care Act," writes USA Today's Jonah Goldberg. "But more Americans support Obamacare than the Affordable Care Act." The poll was administered to two groups. One was asked if they supported or opposed Obamacare. The other, if they supported the Affordable Care Act or not. Only 37% opposed the Affordable Care Act, while 46% opposed Obamacare. Which is comical, because 30% didn't know what the Affordable Care Act was and 12% weren't familiar with Obamacare. How's that for an informed citizenry? Meanwhile, the health care law continues to divide politicians. Public monuments are roped off… national parks closed… children's field trips have been ruined.

I really think this place is great and I've been living here for a while (incumbency FTW!). I don't want to leave but the utilities are a real bitch to afford on your own. Some facts about the digs: "It's about 775,000 square feet. Yeah, it's big, I know. But don't let the size alone fool you! It's cozy too -- lots of individual rooms! "Location, location, location. It's close to everything you could possibly want. The Botanical Gardens (they're temporary closed, but don't let that stop you); the metro, and plenty of bars. The bars are important, because what else are we gonna do? "It's historic too! It was built in like 1800 something. Don't ask me the specifics, there's a plaque somewhere. Let's just say it's pretty sweet. There are plenty of cool things inside, like a giant statue of King Kamehameha I. It makes for weird midnight runs to the bathroom, but whatever. "Wanna know more, just ask! "About you: Must be LGBT friendly. Must not be a Republican. Don't be racist. Don't hate women. Must think poor Americans are people." Hrm… $1,000 a month?
