The automatic pay raise for Pennsylvania lawmakers made law in 1995 kicked in Dec.1 which means that the average Pennsylvania legislator salary is now at $84.012. It’s basically a $17 a month raise or about $200 per year. It certainly will help ease the burden of the eventual 28 cents per gallon gas tax they just passed.
Note this does not include their pension or health plans or their per diem which could be as high as $242.

This prayer was given to Sister Lúcia of Fátima and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto by an angel in 1916: “My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love you. I ask pardon for
those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love
you.”
Sister Lucia, it should be noted, was a registered voter at the time of her death in 2005.
Insurance is a relatively complex product for potential buyers to
understand, reports eMarketer.com 
Digital channels are now an integral part of how consumers research and get insurance quotes, but the process remains a multifaceted journey, where traditional sources like agents and call centers are valuable.
Golly, we wonder if anybody entrusted with nuclear weaponry managed to figure this out.
Here is a link to a rather bizarre video of a rabbit herding a flock of sheep. It can almost be a metaphor for hipsters and other Democrat Party supporters.

Here is the newly-uploaded ObamaCare Homepage; see if you can register!
With all due respect to those who fantasize that ObamaCare
is self-destructing, it should be noted that it’s fully-funded [thanx
to Mike Fitzpatrick] and will begin to distribute “goodies” [subsidies]
in a month; nevertheless, “hope springs eternal” and, thus,
emerging-data are worth distilling and disseminating. Again, to save
time [as occurred with the “Racism”-themed “blast”], categorization
after an intro will be provided, with key-concepts grouped and
juxtaposed, affording the reader a database that can be used to
corroborate conclusions drawn in analyses/syntheses of this
transformational [irreversible?] effort. {ObamaCare
doesn’t officially kick off until 1/1/2014, yet millions of Americans
are already at each other’s throats over it; research from the U.S.
Census Bureau shows that the country is now more divided than at any
other time in history since the Civil War era...and BHO must now feel self-satisfied.} The GOP’s Health Care Compact tersely conveys an alternative to this crass exertion of Big Government.
This is the compilation major Healthcare Policy Articles disseminated on Nov. 25 by The Market Institute, [c/o the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons, of which this physician is a member]; readers may want to check-out/explore this website:
Healthcare.gov
is not CGI’s first bungled IT contract. They were tasked with building
out a gun registry website in Canada that ultimately did not work and
cost Canadians $80 million (Heritage Foundation Blog).
Independent undercover investigations into so called ObamaCare “Navigators” have revealed instances of fraud (Heritage Foundation Blog).
ObamaCare is supposed to influence smokers to quit tobacco use, but the
opposite effect is occurring. Because of facing higher insurance
premiums due to their tobacco use, smokers are opting out of health
coverage altogether (Fox News).
Concerns over Healthcare.gov
are not going away with the end of November deadline approaching for
the website fix, but analysts think the government has until March to
really get the website working because that is when most young people
will be looking to enroll (National Journal).
Congressional Democrats are worried the White House is not taking the
electoral blowback of the fledgling ObamaCare rollout seriously enough.
There is cause for concern however, as the President and his namesake
law are polling at all-time lows (Politico).
Dr. Sklaroff has been a consistent, and prescient, critic of the “Affordable” Care Act since it was proposed. Read more from him here.

A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by.
He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, “Perfect timing. You’re just like Frank.”
Passenger: “Who?”
Cabbie: “Frank Feldman… he’s a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time.”
Passenger: “There are always a few clouds over everybody.”
Cabbie: “Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone, and danced like a Broadway star. And you should have heard him play the piano! He was an amazing guy.”
Passenger: “Sounds like he was somebody really special.”
Cabbie: “Oh hell there’s more”. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody’s birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order, and which fork to eat it with. And he could fix anything—. Not like me -I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right.”
Passenger: “Wow, some guy then.”
Cabbie: “He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made mistakes, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never argue back, even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! I never knew him to make a mistake! No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman.”
Passenger: “An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?”
Cabbie: “Well… I never actually met Frank. He died, and I married his wife.”
