Hey Seattle, This Is Why Everyone Thinks You’re Crazy

Who's leading in a Seattle city council race? Why, a socialist, of course!

http://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/2013/11/14/hey-seattle-this-is-why-everyone-thinks-youre-crazy/

The West Coast has a pretty solid reputation for leftist politics. Calling some of their more kooky leftists “socialist” is a bit of a cliche, but let’s face it — there’s so much truth to the stereotype. Take Seattle, for example. This is the city where police passed out Doritos to attendees of the annual Hempfest, where Occupy protesters dumped $5,000 out a hotel window, where lawmakers closed a budget deficit with $5 billion in tax hikes. And now this year, we have a literal socialist making inroads in a city council election.

Following the latest ballot count Tuesday night, Kshama Sawant had a 41-vote lead over 16-year incumbent Richard Conlin.
Given Washington state’s mail-in voting system, a winner won’t be named for days or even weeks after the Nov. 4 election.
Still, the strong showing by Sawant, a college economics professor and prominent figure in Seattle’s Occupy Wall Street movement, has surprised many people.[...]

This year, Sawant’s platform includes raising the minimum wage to $15.00/hour, rent control, and levying higher taxes on millionaires to pay for public works. She has seized on what she calls “economic inequality” to get the attention of her fellow leftists:

“This is one of wealthiest cities in the wealthiest country in the world,” she said. “For people to struggle for basic needs is absurd.”

City Council races are technically non-partisan in Seattle. Sawant, however, made sure people knew she was running as a Socialist, a label that would ensure defeat in many areas of the country.

The last time a self-declared Socialist ran for office in Seattle was 1991, when Yolanda Alaniz emerged from the primary in second place but was easily defeated in the general election.

“There were certainly populist candidates,” said Cline, the city archivist. “I don’t think any of them you could remotely call Socialist. Certainly there has never been anybody who has run as strongly as Sawant has.”

Go figure. At a time when the rest of the country appears to be turning more toward conservatism, we can count on Seattle to keep the stereotype of the loony Left Coast alive.

If You Liked ObamaCare, You’ll Love ClimateCare

If You Liked ObamaCare, You’ll Love ClimateCare - Reason.com:
"Using figures derived from a May 2013 Congressional Budget Office report on the economic effects of a carbon tax, an auction price of nearly $60 per ton would boost the price of a gallon of gasoline by 60 cents per gallon and the average price of electricity by about 48 percent.
The average household consumes just over 1,000 gallons of gasoline annually. Increasing the price of a gallon of gas from the current average of $3.20 to $3.80 would raise household gasoline expenditures by $600 per year. Similarly, average annual household electric bills more rise by more than $600."

Auctioning off emissions permits was not enough. The original Obama Climate Plan would have required that the United States obtain 25 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources—wind, solar, geothermal, and so on—by 2025. 
Nuclear and natural gas were not mentioned. 
As it happens, in 2012, solar, geothermal, and wind energy generated 0.11, 0.41, and 3.46 percent respectively of electric power in the United States. 
A recent Information Technology and Innovation Foundation study estimated that replacing all U.S. fossil fuel power by 2030 would cost each American household nearly $5,700 per year. 
Extrapolating from that, the earlier Obama electric power renewable fuel mandate would result in an increase in household electricity costs on the neighborhood of $570 per year.

But, of course, he must.

Potentially Fatal ‘Knockout’ Game Targeting Strangers May be Spreading « CBS DC

A terrifying new ‘game’ that’s already caused deaths in Syracuse, St. Louis and New Jersey is sweeping the nation, and it preys upon unsuspecting people walking the streets, anywhere.

A recent report from New York-based CBS 2 shed light on the growing trend, displaying unsettling footage of teens participating in this game – which goes by the name ‘Knockout’ – and involves randomly targeting passersby, with the ultimate goal being to knock them out with one punch as they walk by.

.......And what’s the point?

“For the fun of it,” one teen said in the video.
“They just want to see if you got enough strength to knock somebody out,” said another.

$174K-Per-Year Congressmen Will Get Special Obamacare Subsidy

$174K-Per-Year Congressmen Will Get Special Obamacare Subsidy | CNS News:
 "Under Obamacare -- as it is being implemented under a regulation issued by the White House Office of Personnel Management (OPM) -- a middle-aged member of Congress who earns an annual salary of $174,000 from the taxpayers, and who has a wife and children, will get a $10,000 subsidy from the taxpayers (over and above his $174,000 salary) to buy a health insurance plan that a regular citizen making almost $80,000 less than the congressman will not get.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), popularly known as Obamacare, included language mandating that members of Congress and their staff buy their now-mandated health insurance plans through a government exchange."

UnitedHealth drops thousands of doctors from insurance plans: WSJ - Yahoo News:
" UnitedHealth Group dropped thousands of doctors from its networks in recent weeks, leaving many elderly patients unsure whether they need to switch plans to continue seeing their doctors, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

The insurer said in October that underfunding of Medicare Advantage plans for the elderly could not be fully offset by the company's other healthcare business. The company also reported spending more healthcare premiums on medical claims in the third quarter, due mainly to government cuts to payments for Medicare Advantage services.

The Journal report said that doctors in at least 10 states were notified of being laid off the plans, some citing "significant changes and pressures in the healthcare environment.""

Bozo's bids bust-2nd Packard bidder misses deadline; property now offered to Peru developer

2nd Packard bidder misses deadline; property now offered to Peru developer | Crain's Detroit Business: "The $2 million bid to buy the abandoned Packard plant has been scrapped.

Now Fernando Palazuelo, a developer from Peru, can buy the plant for $405,000, his bid during last month's Wayne County tax foreclosure auction. "
Palazuelo placed the third-highest bid for the plant at October's tax foreclosure auction.
...Hults had wanted to turn the plant – which sits on 40 acres and has long been the target of scrappers, vandals, graffiti taggers and arsonists – into a development with a 120-room luxury hotel, more than 750 lofts, 1,500 single-family residences, and commercial and dining space.

Total Healthcare "Enrollment" As A Result Of Obamacare: -3.9 Million

Total Healthcare "Enrollment" As A Result Of Obamacare: -3.9 Million | Zero Hedge:
 ""We fumbled the rollout on this health-care law," could be President Obama's understatement of the century.
In the month-or-so since Obamacare was unleashed 106,185 people enrolled (based on a loose re-definition by the White House).
However, in that same period, the WSJ reports a stunning 4.02 million people received policy cancellations. So, in a month, a total of 3,918,205 fewer people are now 'enrolled' in a heathcare plan than before Obamacare.
So far, California, Florida, and Washington are suffering the most under Obamacare...

And here's the states where the coverage cancellations are the greatest..."

Wow! Catchin' up with my new friend Barack!

Friend --

I want to cut through the noise and talk with you directly about where we're headed in the fight for change.

That's why I'm getting on the phone with OFA supporters this Monday, November 18th.

Will you join me?

I have just over three years left as president -- and there's a lot left on my to-do list.

That's why I want to talk with you. You're the ones putting in the time and effort to achieve real progress, and fighting to make the agenda Americans voted for last fall a reality.

I know we all care about what we can get done together these next few years, so let's talk about how to make it happen.

Make sure you join Monday's call:

http://my.barackobama.com/Join-the-Call-on-Monday

Thanks -- I can't wait to catch up.

Barack

P.S. -- It's been a while since I've been able to do something like this -- I hope you can join the call.

Retired union workers facing 'unprecedented' pension cuts - Nov. 15, 2013:
"The proposal would allow cuts for those plans that are closest to insolvency.
According to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, which insures pension plans, up to 10% of the roughly 1,500 multiemployer plans will run out of money in coming decades.
If cuts are allowed, retired truck driver Glenn Nicodemus, 63, could see his monthly benefits fall from around $3,300 a month to as little as $1,180. 
He retired in March after nearly 40 years on the road, and his only other source of income is $1,700 a month in Social Security benefits."
