i imagine that most people are aware of obamacare's web site problems. it's a total clusterfuck. so it goes.
i was listening to a radio interview with john mcafee, the founder and ex president of mcafee anti virus software etc. he was CONTACTED BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION and asked for his help in fixing the malfunctioning web site. his thoughts on the whole clusterfuck were very eye-opening. he said the site was not fixable and to be fully functioning and secure it would have to be scrapped and rebuilt from scratch, a process that could take a few years if it is to be done right.
now here's the part that tickled my funny bone. the company hired to build the site is a canadian company, cgi, that has a history of cutting corners and producing less than stellar results. mr mcafee further stated that cgi contracted out a large part of the contract to second rate programmers in india. so the big question is, is the obama administration corrupt or incompetent to have done such a thing? this web site might be one of the most complicated and high profile sites in the world and it also contains some of the most sensitive data on the planet including the personal medical history and financial data of people potentially numbering in the hundreds of millions and lets not forget this site will be processing data with financial implications reaching into the trillions! there is room for a lot of shenanigans when money changing hands may be counted in the trillions over time. so why in the fuck would they cut corners? once again, corruption or incompetence?
the reason this brought a wee smile to my face is the friction between the canadian prime minister and obumble. prime minister harper has been kissing obumble's ass for a few years trying to get keystone approved without any success, only receiving threats over the level of our carbon emissions. could this be harper's revenge? i doubt it but it's fun to think about.
i love you sons of bitches

for the lead harry: this man put the lime in the coconut.
Well, CGI must have quoted a lower price than anyone else, so maybe they were trying to save money. There's a saying about what you get when you pay peanuts that Obama should have considered.
maybe the big american firms have ties to the republicans? why in the hell else would they award the contract to a cut rate foreign company.
John McAfee, for the win!
thanks thims, that was totally, totally, totally excellent!
Your knowledge and understanding of the Affordable Care Act and the function of the New Health Insurance Marketplace is as woeful as the many Americans who rated the Affordable Care Act as 'cost-efficient' and 'fair' but despised Obamacare as 'unfair' and 'socialist'.
Haven't paid much attention to it cuz I simply don't give a fuck.
we canadians have identified obumble's achille's heel, the web site!
all the king's horses and all the king's tutors could not could not put the site back together again.
During my years I’ve seen many programs get off to rocky starts but sooner or later things get squared away, or scrapped.
Whateverthefuck.
Dearest naive pilgrim,
What makes you think the website is not operating in the way it was meant to not operate?
The wonderful thing about the deeply, deeply stupid public is that they actually believe that the ruling class would not deliberately make a 'mistake'. So if a 'mistake' is discovered, it must mean the rulers have screwed up - the public have a "Gotcha" moment!
Right?
Wrong!
You're being played.
I know, it is terribly hard to think of a reason why the Democrats and President Obama would want the website to suck, but there are reasons.
Trust me.
I have to agree with Harry on this one.
Whenever I think of this bill (now law) something awful is etched into my memory.
Nancy Pelosi saying:
"To see what's in the bill, you have to pass the bill."
So, the Democrats, in their infinite wisdom, did just that.
Later, Barack and Nancy held hands.
Barack looked into Nancy's eyes and said "It's times like this I almost wish I were straight."
THIS IS MORE INTERESTING...
aquarian - excellent point, i had forgot how devious obama can be. it's amazing that the dullards south of border have figured out obama is the founder of the tea party.
tex - good point, obama probably made the cgi web site deal on a hand shake in the bath house.
king - i always knew those whale killing japs were a bunch of pricks.
Jeez, BBC, you're so rude!
What does that have to do with pilgrim's post?
Our gracious, and dare I say, long-suffering, host has toiled for hours composing this post and you ignore it completely.
Selfish!
I know you don't care about the topic 'cause you're on Welfare and your medical needs are covered under Medicaid, but still, the least you could do is say something pertinent.
How about telling us which you would prefer, The Affordable Care Act or Obamacare?
"......aquarian - excellent point, i had forgot how devious obama can be......"
Not just President Obama. All those in the Ruling Class. They always have been, they are, and they will always be thus.
MORE PROBLEMS FOR THOSE PRICKS..
Obama is not in the ruling class.
obama may not be in the ruling class buy he's paving the way for his heirs to be very privileged.
and it all started with that candygram for mongo.
Billy, mate, sorry, me old mucker, but 'tis to be sure that I'll pass [that's not get comment on] the politics, although I thought your blog was an interesting read, amigo.
What I found to be extremely and surely unfathomably uncanny, and this 'tis to be sure, mate, was that whilst creating a Rembrandt masterpiece in the baby's nursery/bedroom [that's right, I, personally ain't posh enough to call it a nursery, I call it a bedroom, but others have higher ideals and ideas! :-P] a couple of week's back, I came across about two or three of cases of old vinyl, 12" albums, that I'll never part with [and that's despite one of my mates having around 300/400 of such in storage in his sagging loft! :-P], and low-and-behold, there was the highly acclaimed debut album, 'Stealer's Wheel', which our dad'd given me when I was around 11/12 [they were one of his favourite bands - and after he'd realised just how much I loved it, he decided to let me have it]. That sure in hell brought back a lot of fond memories, my friend, especially as it was quite obvious from the age of around eight, that I was destined to be into, and love music!
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful Day/Night!
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Paddy...
Sorry, Billy, nah, I will comment on the politics, Obama's the best fuckin' president America's had since Ron. Now, why the fuck is it, that some US citizens and comment-creators on this wonderful blog can't see & realise this. Are you _ALL_ totally blind?
Fuck me, I've just spilt a wee drop of me Guinness whilst reading this, my main man!
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful Day/Night!
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,

PS And for fuck's sake, please, please, please, take that shitty Norton & McAfee so-called security software of your Windows PCs or Tablets or whatever. Or. go one better and learn Linux; it's become a lot more understandable these days! Why not install Puppy Linux as a live CD and even create a 512Mb .sfs file on your Windows [or whatever] partition, and believe you me, your life will become all the more better and hassle-free! :-P
PPS Fuck! 'Tis to be sure that I hate it when I get all serious and wound-up on Friday nights! ;-)
Ciao!
paddy - i'm very happy with windows and am ashamed of the nasty things i once said about bill gates.
being the best president since ron, i'm guessing reagan, is akin to winning the turtle derby. all in all he's probably done about as good of a job as is possible given the hand he was dealt.
if he'd open up area 51 and show us all the space ships and pickled aliens, i'd rate him as the best president in history!
Pickling or brining will result in microbiological stability, but not in chemical stability.
And we do need chemical stability! Look what happened to BBC? Self-pickling at The Eagles has not stopped his brain chemicals from becoming unstable. Now has it?
The aliens were, and still are, freeze-dried instead.
Hell!
Are you blind ALT-F?
Look at my avatar! Is that not the very picture of a freeze-dried alien?
Sheesh!
Watch out TPC!
You're practically begging to be sued for libel and defamation of character.
Billy, I still believe that Obama's still receiving a lot of flack because of the 'racial' hate thing that's never left the democratic, 'land of the free' in America, nor never will. Sadly, you've still got your dominant white majority who don't like this decent, muslim man's skin colour. Just my two Irish punts worth!
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful Day/Night.

Leslie's now packin' heat!

She says she is going to be very close to thimscool's place in an hour or so. She's driving to see her kinfolk in Georgia.
I went to the tavern this afternoon for a couple beers and bullshit with friends, it beats the cunts here. One of the ladies gave me some fruit bread with some fish in it.
I'm thinking I'll try some of it, when I'm not drinking.
fuck you king, the cunts here are way better than the cunts at frump's!
Bill, the woman didn't think you were Jesus, did she, mate, and sent you on your way to feed the 5,000?
Take care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Steve...
PS Love you! :-P
Farmer Giles, did you know that jesus liked peanut butter and pussy?
Around about way I get paid though medicaid. Do in home care for the needy who is disable. They had decent software program and decided to change it. It took the big wigs little over six months to get the kinks out. All though the company I work though made pay roll. Or I wouldn't be going to work.
Personal I would like to see United States combine there medicare and medicaid, then make it one payer system.
Yes, call me commie but still the coffee is on.
I read somewhere that they "borrowed" someone else's software and tweaked it as their own.
I also read somewhere else that the Republicans should just stop trying to get Obamacare defunded and just let it crash and burn. Nothing would be sweeter.
BBC, the idiot, blurted,
".....Farmer Giles, did you know that jesus liked peanut butter and pussy?....."
Not possible, you ignorant asshole, peanuts are a New World legume and as such no resident of the Old World would have 'tasted' them until AD 1492 - at the earliest.
Fucking moron.
There are people with the name of jesus to this very day, you fucking moron.
Touche, BBC!
I'm impressed.
Ya got me there.
My turn now.
You call yourself a "Master Mechanic" yet there is no record of a Billy B. Cook on the ASE "Master Status" accreditation lists in the State of Washington.
Query?
How does one call oneself a Master Mechanic without certification by the ASE?
I'm retired so of course I'm not on any current lists, you moron.
The lists go back to 1972 Mr. BBC.
Were you retired then?
No I wasn't, that is about the time they started testing and I was one of the first in the country on the list.
Find something else to do you moron.
You are not on the list BBC.
I think you are a liar. Either that, or Billy B. Cook is not your real name.
I don't give a fuck what you think.
But....
But..........
Everyone here will also think you are a liar now.
Is that okay with you?
U mad bro?
Just not in the mood to defend myself to a cunt.
i stand foursquare behind my king. he is no liar.
Of course you do, pilgrim, and we would not have it any other way.
Just don't position yourself 'foursquare' in front of BBC, at least not without sporting a Kevlar Lululemon anal chastity device.
ALTF, you may want to consult the records for other states.
I am certifiable, but not certified. Not as a master mechanic, tho.
By today's standards I am no longer a master mechanic, but I was damn good in my days of wrenching.
These new rigs have so much shit on them that you can't even see the engine on many of them, it takes half a day to get to the fucking engine.
But today's engines are built really good and seldom need to be worked on as long as they are not treated like shit.
ASE = Ask Someone Else.
It wasn't ASE back in my days, but I don't recall what it was called, it was shortened to ASE in the 80's as I recall.
I still have a stack of diplomas and certificates from those days in storage, could look it up but why bother.
".....By today's standards I am no longer a master mechanic,....."
By today's standards you're not even a fucking human being.
ASE originated in 1972, moron. You were, what, 29 then?
Admit it, you lying piece of dog shit, you are a fraud!
You couldn't even replace the needle valve mechanism when reassembling my Ryobi 2-stroke engine carburettor if your wretched life depended on it.
"Carburettor" Cute spelling, innit?
thimscool? You may want to fuck off. I ain't checking anything. Leslie is very near you ya know. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I'm more of a human being than a fucking cunt...
And for all we know, Mr. Non-certified Master Mechanic, to you the phrase "Four Stroke" refers to your masturbatory practices and "Two Stroke" to your intercourse acumen.
Leslie occasionally threatens me, but never delivers...
Her loss. We're having vegetarian beenie weenies and burnt toast for lunch, and yes I have an extra juice box.
Butt ugly chicks never show up, they just hide on the internut.
I know!
She threatens me all the time too and sadly, never lives up to her potential.
She's a Masshole by birth and a Who Dat by choice. What can you expect?
I'm not sure about the beenie weenies, which I covet, but I know the toast, burnt or otherwise, would kill her.
But then, you knew that.
Leslie's lecture to me when I was arranging for her to date Anthony Bourdain:
Now, the good thing about me? I'm a cute anaphylactic. I don't break out in itchy scales or throw up. My reactions are more....Shakespearean. I get light-headed, I choke for air while shaking delicately, and then I pass out. Sometimes I panic when I feel it coming on, but that's only evident by confusion and a few tears. No sweating or screaming or any real hysteria. He can finish his drink before attending to me. If he needs to unbutton my blouse to check my heartbeat, I'm ok with that. I only have a few memories of maternal guidance....one was "elbows off the table, Mabel" and the other was "always wear nice undergarments because you never know when you might wind up in the hospital".
Now, about my Epi-pen allergy. It is apparently impossible to be allergic to Epinephrine, or so a dentist once told me, prior to throwing me out of his office. Latex gloves were the culprit. (Did I have "latex" on my list of allergies? Probably not. Seems I also omitted it that day at the dentist's).
Anyway, psychosomatic or not, I have an adverse reaction to adrenaline, and Bourdain can simply avoid that step. If he wants to jab me in the thigh, he can use something else.
The site problems have more to do with capacity than coding I think and that's a hardware issue from not spending the bucks to set-up a Facebook size server farm.
Sea Lions Getting Shot Along Malibu Coast..........
aquarian - is this stuff true about the fair leslie? the king can probably use that information for an insightful counter attack in the future.
thims - i'd like your take on obumble's web site. bob has given us the democrat take on it now i'd like an independent opinion.
i haven't called him obumble in months but he said something that bugged me and i can't for the life of me remember what he said.
Very true.
http://aquarianslovetofuck.blogspot.ca/2013/06/the-tutor-is-pimp.html
He will call. He's probably just been busy.
Thimscool, threats by proxy don't count.
looks like a bit of a software problem to me:
THE CODERS KNEW IT HAD HUGE PROBLEMS
I showed up in Pembroke to meet The Mighty Tater in his tater hideout and what did The Tater do?
Shit himself.
thank you for the link aquarian, it gives me new insight into the fair leslie.
this medical condition might explain why she's so mean at times. next year i'll offer her the best tomatoes from my garden.
If you'd bother to read my blog, pilgrim, you'd be quite amazed at the ammunition I provide.
And as far as BBC using information for insightful counter-attacks in the future: insightful?
Are you mental?
Leslie?
The Tater does not excrete. He's much too lady-like for that.
And Mr. Bourdain did call The Tater. Arrangements could not be finalised due to Mr. Bourdain's insistence that you don 'kick-boxing' garb and smell like Old Spice.
Oh and he wanted you to dye your mane black and speak with an Italian accent.
She hasn’t been out of the attic for eleven years. I told a lady I would fix her cabinets today, would someone feed the cunts while I’m gone? ……..
I don't really qualify as an independent. I'm a Jeffersonian Liberal, which pretty much puts me in the pocket of the Democrats until the revolution comes, in which case I'll be using their entrails to strangle bankers. Leaving aside his affront to my native ancestors, I do admire Andy Jackson and his Quixotic charge against the blood drenched shield that the British Empire used as a codpiece until the stiff lower lips ascended to the throne in 1952.
Anyway, I got a series of "account disabled", "disabled accountant", "page not found", and "you already got your vasectomy and told the Canadians" errors.
I am accustomed to these types of errors in my line of work, and was unphased. I had the wisdom to incorporate both of my businesses years ago and they've been doing a brisk business kiting cheques and sending encrypted messages to each other ever since. As a consequence of our incorporation, we have another year to avoid altering our plan, which is keen, because we might still qualify for the subsidy anyway.
In short, I think it's all wonderful and I can't imagine why anyone would complain unless they have an axe to grind (like needing health insurance).
"......Anyway, I got a series of "account disabled", "disabled accountant", "page not found", and "you already got your vasectomy and told the Canadians" errors......."
I've been remiss of late in telling you how much I love you thimscool.
To wit:
I love you.
Because I skip the Purina and go for the Fancy Feast?
aquarian - i didn't know about your blog. i probably got preoccupied thinking about the best time and place to find empty beer tins and forgot about it but i'll keep my dictionary handy and visit regularly.
thims - i can't figure out if you're saying hardware or software?
does obamacare fund vasectomies and all that other stuff the moral majority finds so offensive?
I think it's the stiffware what troubles it.
It does indeed cover such cheap tricks, but a little known rider provides that Rush Limbaugh gets to watch (and he also gets dibs on yer meds).
Fancy Feast is Purina, but no, your wordsmithy.
You are Mozart to my Salieri.
You know, pilgrim, if you 'click' on any of your commenter's avatars you will be sent to a "Blogger: User Profile" page. And from there, you can 'click' on the blue highlighted word or phrase you find below the "My Blogs" sub-title. If there is no blue high-lighted word or phrase to be found, you must be dealing with a cunt.
Don't do that to BBC's avatar though. You'll be sent back in time to May 02, 2008 and it smells really bad.

AND you're sure to pick up a doppelgänger on the way back.
And thimscool, as far as being a Jeffersonian Liberal, does this me you condone the enslavement of human-like 'entities' not considered persons under the Law?
And the concept of 'res nullius' and 'terra nullius' when it comes to the indigenous peoples?
No. But if I could trade those for eliminating the unconstitutional financial system then yes.
Heh!
The financial system is constituted just fine, thank you very much.
Don't fight it. Join it!
Several of my comrades did after wising up to the physics game. One of them even emerged from the rubble of Lehman, jumped to Barclay's, stabbed a guard and escaped to create his own firm (named after his daughter, whom he named in honor of, and complimentary to my son). It really is a small, smelly world.
But I can't join those shenanigans and still manage to adhere to this damn diet without risking explosive incontinence.
Sexy.
A visit from Leslie causes explosive incontinence I've been told.
Not a pretty picture with a diet of beanie wenies and burnt toast.
Now that, Leslie, is sexy!
thimscool?
Can we all at least agree on how we are going to spell "Beanie Wienies" and stick to it?
I had a beer and a Benny. Now it's time for scotch!
I feel another rant developing...
AlTF- unnecessary use of commas above.
It was originally called the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. Say's so on the old certificate I just dug out.
scotch! thanks pavlov, my mouth is watering.
where's the fish. i've come up with a new additive for coffee and it's probably blasphemous in your eyes.
Worry, not, Billy & Co, your interactive sanitary towel has arrived for you all to bleed on! :-P
Take Care & Stay Lucky!

PS Bill, mate, giz a big kiss! :-P
I like my coffee like my women: full of booze.

I like me wimmons as I like me coffee, begged from strangers on a street corner.
I like women that like to be full of my dick.
Harry, mate, ah, I get it, my friend, what you in fact meant to say was "I like me strangers on a street corner as I like me wimmons, like begged cofee."
Take Care & Stay Lucky, mate!
Peace,
Steve...
Bill, mate, I think what you meant to say, but, please correct me if I'm wrong, was, something like, " I wish I had a humongous dick, then women would like me a helluva fuckin' lot more!" :-P
Take care & Stay Lucky, mate!
Peace,
Steve...
I wonder what BBC meant when he said he liked women to be full of his dick?
Filler up??
Well, if that ain't putting the question before the ...horsedick.
NEVERMIND!
The preceding remark was directed at Farmer Giles
i like my women free from disease and hard working.

Peace, Love & Lipstick,

excellent point harry. you've been down this road before.
Been down that road, ticketed and broke down too, also even.
I hope the Farmer didn't think I was calling him a dick, that wasn't my intention.
I see that the wimpy professor has reverted to his practice of "moderating" comments.
I guess he likes to read about himself on other folks blogs.
There is something very strange about the way the English language is mangled over there.
himscool may be right about the so-called "professor".
Billy, you ain't in a bad mood are you, my friend?
That's the impression I'm getting from 'across the pond'.
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful Day/Night.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I have my zlotys on the ever nebulous professor frump.
In fact, I'll wager you never even lay a glove on him.
Purely a business decision pilgrim, nothing personal of course.
That's like betting on the Terminator. It might make sense, except we already know how it all ends.
Leslie, diacritically critiqued,
"......AlTF(sic)- unnecessary use of commas above......"
Agreed, but not incorrect.
In the Vocative voice, commas are placed before, after, or around a noun or pronoun when it is used independently in speaking to and of some person, place or thing.
To wit:
"I hope, Leslie, that you will fuck off."
My original phrase, "Now that, Leslie, is sexy." can also be understood to have used the comma as a diacritic.
Sort of.
Normally, in English, the use of the comma as a diacritic involves combining the comma with another character. In this case, you are the other 'character' - and a lovely one indeed.
Notice I have ignored the fact that you ended you sentence fragment with a preposition. I suspect that you meant to write, "AlTF - unnecessary use of commas above you cunt." but thought the better of it.
Innit?
"Now that Leslie is sexy!"
Get it?
Yes
That's why I said, "Agreed".
If you insist on being clever, please to allow your opponent equal opportunity for cleverness.
I do. Please to deliver.
i was strongly encouraged to remove a few of my comments.
the moderator has been moderated.
Please to lick my clit, Leslie. The Tubby and yours truly are in mourning for Mr. Reed.
You'll get nowt from us today.
Allow me to apologise in advance for your expected experience with my intentions Leslie.
Tell you what -show me your clit and I'll lick it.

It is SO hard to drive and type!
I'd like to hear the other BBC's thoughts on Lou Reed's passing.
Apparently, driving and concurrently formulating, and subsequently expressing, coherent thought is also SO hard for you.
"ATLF"?
"....the other BBC's thoughts....."?
The other BBC?
No BBCs have ever heard of Lou Reed.
he was waiting for a liver transplant. another victim of obumble's insurance reform fiasco.
A quick search tells me Lou Reed is dead, hell, I was not aware that he was ever alive. Or cared.
Lou WHO ?
Yeah. The OTHER BBC. You linked to a BBC (UK) article, ya fuckin retard.
Little Cindy Lou WHO.
Oh yeah.
I see.
Jaysus I'm thick today.
Apologies Leslie.
Little Cindy Lou WHO?
Is she one of your Georgian cousins? You know, the one whose parents are siblings?
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas FTW!!
He weren't no Iggy Poo !
The Grinch?
Cindy Lou Who?
i think you greatly enjoy your vast intellectual powers and i can tell you that cuntery is not hereditary.
my daughter is not a cunt.
Corrupt or incompetent? Try BOTH. I'm sure people used to ask the same question about public education, before it became understood that a dumbed-down population of Ritalin babies was exactly the intended goal.
