Maher’s fans think this is an excellent point.

@billmaher I think it’s a perfect arena to highlight our need to fix the infrastructure of this country!!!

I really like that @billmaher and I were thinking along the same lines about the #superbowlblackout #infrastructure

Excellent point @billmaher-first world country…third world #infrastructure. J #Blackout #noladark #SB47

Twitchy readers probably recall that four years ago, Democrats spent $700 billion on “fiscal stimulus,” much of which was supposed to consist of “public-works projects to repair the nation’s crumbling infrastructure.”

If our country’s infrastructure is still crumbling, as Maher and his readers concede, where did all that money go?

Rut-roh …

What’s she done, exactly? Well, she’s asking the Obama administration to extend the open enrollment period:

From Sen. Shaheen’s letter to the president:

Given the existing problems with the website, I urge you to consider extending open enrollment beyond the current end date of March 31, 2014.  Allowing extra time for consumers is critically important so they have the opportunity to become familiar with the website, survey their options and enroll.

Further, in light of the difficulties individuals may be having with enrolling through healthcare.gov, I ask that you clarify how the individual responsibility penalty will be administered and enforced.  If an individual is unable to purchase health insurance due to technical problems with enrollment, they should not be penalized because of lack of coverage.

And she’s not alone. Take a look at this:

Sen. Joe Manchin is also reportedly on-board with a delay:

B-b-but … it’s the law!

http://twitter.com/#!/JohnEkdahl/status/393114625178603520

Or is it?

Sure is funny how that works.

Even if Democrats start showing more interest in a delay, they still have a lot to answer for:

Oh, we remember.

And we can learn from this. Amanda Carpenter, Sen. Cruz’s senior communications adviser, has a message for the Democrats — and for us:

Amen.

We didn’t understand fog could be an impediment to a laser cannon, but it is advisable that you understand.

Here’s video regarding the laser for action:

( function() { var func = function() { var iframe_form = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-form-4bd52ee62501e62e73c527f9c38d6e34-540b2f10232a7’); var iframe = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-4bd52ee62501e62e73c527f9c38d6e34-540b2f10232a7’); if ( iframe_form && iframe ) { iframe_form.submit(); iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { ‘msg_type’: ‘poll_size’, ‘frame_id’: ‘wpcom-iframe-4bd52ee62501e62e73c527f9c38d6e34-540b2f10232a7’ }, window.location.protocol + ‘//wpcomwidgets.com’ ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = purpose( age ) { var source = document.createElement( ‘a’ ); origin.href = age.origin; // Verify message origin if ( ‘wpcomwidgets.com’ !== source.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we anticipate if ( ‘object’ !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { instance ‘poll_size:response’: var iframe = document.getElementById( e.data._request.frame_id ); if ( iframe && ” === iframe.width ) iframe.width = ‘100%’; if ( iframe && ” === iframe.height ) iframe.height = parseInt( e.data.height ); return; default: return; } } if ( ‘function’ === typeof screen.addEventListener ) { screen.addEventListener( ‘message’, funcSizeResponse, untrue ); } else if ( ‘function’ === typeof screen.attachEvent ) { screen.attachEvent( ‘onmessage’, funcSizeResponse ); } } if (document.readyState === ‘complete’) { func.apply(); /* compat for infinite scroll */ } else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( ‘DOMContentLoaded’, func, false ); } else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( ‘onreadystatechange’, func ); } } )();

A reaction to the brand new tool system has been rather good:

We’re uncertain if a war with is Amazon imminent, but yes, we should utilize this laser to attack Amazon’s emerging drone fleet if it previously comes to that.

And it also’s already been noticed that here is the perfect device the eventual war between guy and monster:

Exit question: How rapidly would it be always “degrade and destroy” ISIS?

Starving for food, starving for attention … what difference does it make? Former NBA badboy Dennis “The Worm” Rodman, along with a few Harlem Globetrotters, is in the prison country for a film project and a little “basketball diplomacy.” And he’s pretty darn excited to be there:

It’s true, I’m in North Korea.Looking forward to sitting down with Kim Jung Un.I love the people of North Korea. #WORMinNorthKorea

— Dennis Rodman (@dennisrodman) February 26, 2013

They love basketball here. Honored to represent The United States of America. #WORMinNorthKorea

— Dennis Rodman (@dennisrodman) February 26, 2013

Maybe I’ll run into the Gangnam Style dude while I’m here @psy_oppa #WORMinNorthKorea

— Dennis Rodman (@dennisrodman) February 26, 2013

PSY is actually South Korean. Then again, Rodman’s geography skills put him on par with Secretary of State John Kerry, so maybe he has a future in diplomacy after all.

I’m not a politician. Kim Jung Un & North Korean people are basketball fans. I love everyone. Period. End of story. #WORMinNorthKorea

— Dennis Rodman (@dennisrodman) February 26, 2013

Awww! So, does this officially put Rodman in the running for a Nobel Peace Prize?

Dennis Rodman is visiting North Korea. What could possibly go wrong?

— Robert Vertrees (@RockyRob) February 26, 2013

Dennis Rodman and some Harlem Globetrotters are going to North Korea to discuss their nuclear activity and basketball. So America is safe.

— Roy Hanks (@roy_hanks) February 26, 2013

As if tensions with North Korea weren’t strong enough,we are sending them Dennis Rodman in an act of basketball diplomacy #WW3

— Michael Smetana (@mikeysmet29) February 26, 2013

Woke up to this headline: “Dennis Rodman in North Korea for diplomacy.” Immediately went into prayer.

— Gary (@masterwilliams) February 26, 2013

“Well if anyone can mend ties with North Korea, it’s Dennis Rodman.”-no one ever

— Brad Aldous (@bradlicious) February 26, 2013

Dennis Rodman is in North Korea right now…we are living in a simulation ladies and gentleman

— Ryan (@RyanChuck_) February 26, 2013

No, it’s all too real:

The stories are true. @prince_mrketing #WORMinNorthKoreaow.ly/i3Mbz

— Dennis Rodman (@dennisrodman) February 26, 2013

You know what other stories are true, Dennis? The ones about the horrors faced by the North Korean people:

Dear @dennisrodman: Google “North Korea Cannibalism” and then get out of that dangerous country, run by lunatic crackpots

— Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) February 26, 2013

@dennisrodman don’t know what’s more pathetic that u think North Koreans watch American basketball when most of the country has no electric

Rodman really is a worm.

Update:

PSY sets Rodman straight on where “the Gangnam Style dude” is from:
