What happens when you don't pay taxes or fines?
You go to jail.
The ultimate cost of noncompliance with any government edict is eventual imprisonment. If you don't pay your parking tickets, you'll eventually be behind bars. Why would Obamacare be different?

Note that the word "unexpected" isn't even used any more when talking about the subject.
I'm really looking forward to next week's bloodbath.

We need to ask the French for a Berlin style airlift to deliver us testicles. The French President Sarkozy suggested raising the retirement age from 60 to 62 and the country erupts into strikes by school teachers, truck drivers, garbage men, air traffic controllers. The trains have stopped, the gas stations are closed they're one step away from Armageddon as Sarkozy sits in Elisa Palace holding his head saying, "Holy Moly!" or whatever the the French equivalent of "Holy Moly!"might be."Sacre bleu!" is what French people say, if I've learned anything from cartoons and Pink Panther movies.
Anyway, I'd like to think that Sarkozy's reaction is more along the lines of "Sacre bleu! Do we have enough fucking tear gas to shoot at these bastards?"
Seriously, most of the "protests" I've seen were comprised of teens and twenty-somethings hurling gas canisters back at riot cops.
THE FUTURE IS YOURS!!!

Can it be that the conscience of the Republican Party resides in a 26-year-old woman who has never held elective office and derives her authority, not to mention name recognition, for the fame of her father? I am referring to Meghan McCain...Okay, let me stop you right there and answer your mind-numbingly retarded query with a firm and resounding "AW, HELLS NO," Richard. MeggyMac is not the anything of the Republican Party, much less its conscience. And authority? Seriously? You get paid to write this shit? I mean, nobody to the right of fucking Lenin gives a shit about what she thinks regarding the GOP.
Cohen is, of course slobbering over Meggy's appearance on a Sunday chat show where she called Christine O'Donnell "a nutjob." Cohen calls this deep analysis a "searing evocation of the truth" and a "refreshing statement of an obvious fact." Now, I think O'Donnell's a little flaky, and she's said some stuff that has made me wince, but elevating a lame insult to the level that Cohen does here suggests to me that there's maybe just a little more than some casual antipathy going on here.
Cohen continues:
McCain went further. Appearing on the ABC show "This Week with Christiane Amanpour," she noted that O'Donnell "has no real history, no real success in any kind of business. And what that sends to my generation is: One day, you can just wake up and run for the Senate, no matter how [little] experience you have." The only quibble my generation would have with that statement is the allegation that O'Donnell woke up. She seems to have slept through much of recent history.Really? That's your only quibble? You don't have any problem with the fact that the only fucking reason this ditz is making these sort of pronouncements on national television is because her dad is famous? Which is, I noticed, a detail that you actually noted in your opening paragraph? No quibble over the idea that someone with no experience of her own is supposed to be taken seriously when leveling the same charge against someone else who is actually a few years older? Did that escape your notice, or are you willfully glossing over that shit?
I'll skip past his "blah, blah, the Tea Partiers are teh stoopid" and "Republicans only want to win" (like that's not something Dems worry about) boilerplate for this...
No doubt Meghan McCain will hear from her father about what she said. It was he who promulgated the GOP doctrine of win-at-any-cost when he chose Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Palin was, and remains, highly unqualified for the presidency, talented only in demagoguery. She came, like Eve, out of John McCain’s rib.Three words, Dick: Barack. Hussein. Obama.
And that's really what this is all about, isn't it? People like Cohen can't own up to the idea that they backed an inexperienced, incompetent empty suit for a job—THE JOB—that he was completely unqualified for, so they resort to shouting "Look over there!" at whoever is the current object of their Two Minute's Hate. And when a "Republican" or "conservative" stalking horse like MeggyMac or Kathleen Parker or The Twat comes along to do their dirty work for them, so much the better! That invite to the next cocktail party is on the way.
Cohen concludes his drivel with this:
The pureness, the political virginity that is supposed to be the virtue of the political outsider, has come, as it is supposed to, from Meghan McCain. "Out of the mouths of babes…" the Bible says. And not a moment too soon.I'm not a very religious guy, but I believe there's also a Bible verse that talks about noting the mote in someone else's eye while ignoring the beam in your own.

Oh, you're just noticing this now, you utter jackass? Just now? I mean, it's not like a huge freaking number of people who told you this.

Fox News says people with knowledge of what happened say it was Brown's wife who suggested calling Whitman a "whore," for cutting a deal to get the union's endorsement.So, NOW is an appropriate time for the iron.

This article is interesting in what it does and does not say and in the general tone of the article itself. There's more than a whiff of "those bad bad lenders who only wanted to make money and who didn't care about the poor homeowners" to it. I'll admit to being torn about this. Of course the companies servicing the loans wanted to make money. That's the whole point of being in that business. (We'll leave to another day the undercurrent that mortgage lending, if not mortgages themselves, seem to be viewed as a combination of an entitlement and a charity.) I am, however, a bit loathe to defend the mortgage serving industry as a whole since there were quite a number of really bad actors out there.
As always, what I'm more interested in some of the almost throwaway lines in the article, such as this.
What I find difficult to believe is that the Obama Administration is shocked and surprised by this. Or, well, maybe not since it is an obvious problem. The Obumbles don't really seem to have a grasp of the obvious. If anyone from the administration spent more than two minutes talking to anyone who deals with this area it would have been mentioned. Hell, just do a bing search for how to defend foreclosure and there are tons of articles bringing up this point.
Should all foreclosures be halted? No. The housing market cannot possibly stabilize until there is some type of certainty regarding how and when the backlog of foreclosed properties will hit the market. Should BoA be liable for screwing up how it handled the paperwork? Yuppers. The rules exist for a reason.

Netanyahu and his entourage were then left to cool their heels in the Roosevelt Room. At one point, the Israeli delegation asked for something to drink and food. They were served non-kosher food, which some of them wouldn't eat.
From here. Note that this is a HuffPo link so it's not like it's coming from some evil neocon.
Fuck. You. President. Obama. Fuck your staff. Fuck your cook. Fuck your stewards (who I have to believe weren't actually at fault since the White House stewards are renowned for professionalism but since this makes me furious I'm including them too). Fuck the State Department. Fuck every single fucking person who is such a fucking jackass that common motherfucking courtesy was not given to respect the dietary requirements of a fucking HEAD OF STATE and his entourage. Motherfuckers want me to fucking be accepting of fucking jackals who will fucking kill me because I think Christina Hendricks is a miracle of God's creation but won't fucking serve Netanyahu kosher food.
You know what? Fuck it, I'm going to show Obama the exact level of respect for the office of the President that he does. Or, you know, none.
(The rest of the article is even fucking worse btw)
