It's been a while since we reminded you that with Obamacare, everyone wins, right? Like that one lady who was all, "Oh no, I cannot afford my cancer treatment now because of how Obamacare makes it so much more expensive!" except that Obamacare was saving her money on her cancer treatment, and she did not even have to say THANKS OBAMA! And all those
The problem with coupons is not the coupons per se, it's the dopes who wait until everything's checked through, and then chime up with "Oh, I have some coupons!" and then the poor, underpaid cashier has to uncheck everything, recheck everything, all the time arguing with the customer about expired coupons/coupons for different items than on cashier's stand/coupons from different stores/etc.
Love that movie! Especially love all the shout-outs to grade-A nerds (Crick, Pascal, Eiffel, Hilbert, Escher). And showing that Will Ferrell could do fairly dramatic acting.
Ages ago when helping relatives catalog the papers of a grand parent who had some prestigious positions in the Republican party from the 1930 to his death I came across a couple documents which were parts of drafts for the 1948 and 1952 Republican National Committee Platform. They advocated continued opposition to Social Security as it the single most effective voter incentive to vote for democrats. I suspect Obamacare is so vehemently opposed by republicans now as it could diminish their prospects for decades.
I got out of the coupon habit as a result of getting too well paid. But when I did my personal best was $14 for an over $100 grocery bill. I'm starting to get back into it as like ancient and unemployed.
Haven't seen you in a while and with your Bertrand Russel avatar intact. The guys in the barracks in Vietnam would walk by my area with serious doubts as they looked at the two posters I had on my wall; that Bertrand Russell photo and the one of Raquel Welch in her animal skin bikini from 1,000,000 BC
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) — Just hours after Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told CNN that he had no choice but to sign up for Obamacare, President Barack Obama signed an executive order making Cruz ineligible for coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
“Clearly, the hardship of receiving Obamacare was causing Ted a great deal of pain,” the President said. “This should take care of that.”
Obama acknowledged that the executive order, which makes Cruz the only American expressly forbidden from signing up for Obamacare, was an extraordinary measure, but added, “I felt it was a necessary humanitarian gesture to protect Ted from the law he hates.”
Even as he signed the order, the President said that he was “torn” about barring Cruz from coverage, stating,”He’s definitely someone who would benefit from seeing a doctor.”
In an official statement released later in the day, Cruz blasted the executive order and accused Obama of distorting his position on Obamacare: “I never said I didn’t want to have it. I said I didn’t want everyone else in the country to have it.”http://www.newyorker.com/hu...
Shhhhhhhh let's not cause a panic.Remember tens of millions of Americans have invested everything they have in the failure of the Affordable Care Act! And to hear this terrible news would cause many to stroke out or have massive anyourisms! But wait! !They would all be covered by the Affordable Care Act.Or as the Republican Clown Car Set likes to call it; the unconstitutional job killing un American Obamacare Muslim Medical American Killing Act.
My mom was one of those ... and living in an area with too many big supermarkets, it was coupon heaven. Between the "buy one, get two for free" deals, and all of the stores offering to honor the other stores' coupons, she would sometimes actually get paid to take things home. Anything she didn't need - which was about half of what she bought - she'd set aside for the local food bank. They would send somebody over once a week to collect it all.
I recollect McCain running on it.

Just think how much we could save if we could get all those fat diabetics into clinics....
Bet he buys an iWatch. Because it's an "I" watch.
If you're here for the comments, you'll be sorely disappointed. Everyone knows commenting is not allowed at Wonkette!

She does but it's for prison wine.

You know the most important of the seven signs of Alzheimers is forgetting there are eight.

The Rethugs would be so torn: a chance to screw Hillary, but possibly (likely) an Obama third term.

A case of letting the best be the enemy of the good; but they're still on our side and we can all laugh at the teabaggers.
