Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach

(FOX News) The U.S. National Reconnaissance Office launched a new spy satellite last evening on ‘Mission NROL-39’ and the new tag line and logo are quite an eye opener.

“Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach.”

Isn’t that just a comforting thought, after all we’ve learned about the NSA spying on Americans together with the latest overreach by the TSA and Dept of Homeland Security recently announced practice changes.

When was the 4th Amendment repealed?

Nancy Pelosi Cupboard is Bare

Remember when House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed “The cupboard is bare there is no more cuts (in the federal budget) to make. I think its really important that people understand that.”

According to The Washington Times when the rest of the govt prepared to ‘slimdown’ this fall the Dept of State was stocking up on booze.

In September, the final month of the fiscal year the Dept of State spent almost $180,000 on beefing up its liquor supplies and racked up a total of more than $400,000 for the year or three times the entire liquor tab for all of 2008

On the 06 October, I wrote here the Bureau of Land Management spent $98,670.00 on an outhouse in Alaska

Cupboard doesn’t appear to be too bare Nancy…

For Many People During the “Mostly Fixed” Post-ObamaCare Relaunch, This is What They’re Seeing Today –Image: Ken Gadrner@Twitter

(CNBC ) It could take a year to secure the risk of “high exposure” of personal information on the federal ObamaCare website said David Kennedy, a cyber-security expert appears on CNBC today.

“When you develop a website, you develop it with security in mind and it doesn’t appear to have happened this time.”

Surprised?

Why should anyone be surprised at government mismanaging the creation of a website which can only handle up to 50,000 users at a time–800,000 daily and claim with a straight face that Healthcare.gov is more stable and an efficient expenditure of taxpayers money when in comparison Amazon.com which has 2.7 million visitors a day and eBay, 4 million visitors a day with no excuses, no wait-time to get on their highly secure websites that are user friendly.

In related health care news. President Obama can’t assemble a team to build an efficient ACA website, has now launched a grandiose effort to cure HIV—Good luck with that.
