Interesting post in the LA Times:

The White House has extended — for the second time — the deadline for some people signing up for health insurance taking effect Jan. 1 using online ObamaCare exchanges. People who tried to enroll for coverage before Tuesday's deadline will be able to contact the marketplace call center for personal assistance so they won't miss out due to problems with the ObamaCare website, which had a record two million visitors on Monday. [Los Angeles Times]

TWO MILLION visitors! WOW! That's like what, the entire population of Detroit? According to a quick search of 'population of the United States':

As of December 25, 2013, the United States has a total resident population of 317,334,000,[1] making it the third-most populous country in the world.[2] It is very urbanized, with 82% residing in cities and suburbs as of 2008 (the worldwide urban rate is 50.5%[3]). Much of the country is nearly uninhabited.[4] California and Texas are the most populous states,[5] as the mean center of U.S. population has consistently shifted westward and southward.[6] New York City is the most populous city in the United States.

Now I understand that the two million was for Monday only, and doesn't include the thirty thousand or so who have 'applied' previously. But the reality of the situation is that Monday was supposedly the LAST DAY to comply with the LAW!  So 2,000,000 sheeple caved on Monday, skeered that if they didn't, the Gestapo would be at their door come January first.

But two million isn't enough to fund the fiasco that is obummercare. And quite frankly, the OTHER three hundred fifteen million, three hundred and four thousand are going to be pretty fucking pissed when they tell us we have to pay a 'tax' for our lack of faith in the current regime.

Let's see if I did that math right:

  317,334,000 Population of the United States as of 25 December, 2013\
-         30,000 Number previously 'applied' for obamadon'tcare
-    3,000,000 Number 'signed up' Monday
=315,304,000

Yep. So apparently, this "law" seems to be against the will of the people.

I did NOT sign up. I WILL NOT sign up.

I refuse to be ordered by people who work for ME to buy a product that I don't want, that goes against the Constitution, and provides a substandard product.

Fuck obama.
