    I mean, how am I supposed to know? No links, no quotes. It's like I'm supposed to just KNOW!
    
    Oh, maybe I'm supposed to search my feelings for what I know to be true...

      Apparently having a mild hangover makes me capable of making uncannily similar comments within a minute of other commenters.

        In this case, Jesse, I'd say it's just a instance of "great minds"

reason seemed to lead me to believe it was the shutdown, but knowing the judge I'm going to predict the answer is going to be shouted at us.

Healthcare.gov goes online on October 1, 2013. Human decisions are removed from health insurance shopping. Obamcare begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware 2:14 AM, Eastern time, October 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Better question: which one has provided more lulz and been the most delicious? Because I know the answer to that one!
