Today is the deadline to sign
up for Obamacare, but a senior Obama administration official stated
that a
“good faith” exception will be given to those who try to sign
up but fail. No word on how they’ll verify that such an effort was
made.- President Obama told Congress on Sunday that he may take
further military action to protect Americans trying to evacuate
violence-plagued South Sudan. - Conservatives
are bellyaching that the Obama administration is too soft and
that the U.S. is losing its influence around the world. - The president is getting some “sleep
and sun” during a two-week vacation in Hawaii, presumably
having muttered “I hate this job” the whole nine-hour flight
there. - Ross Ulbricht, the internet “pirate” accused of running the
notorious illegal-drug-peddling web site Silk Road, claims that the
feds seized $33.6 million worth of the encrypted virtual
currency Bitcoin from him. - Members of the Russian punk band
Pussy Riot have been released from prison as part of an amnesty
bill, but they dismiss it as a PR stunt to prep for the Sochi
Winter Olympics.
