Wait 'til you hear this ...

... Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius explained to reporters in Texas on Friday that her department had decided to wait to launch the Spanish version of the Obamacare website until they were sure that it would work correctly.

Sebelious said that CuidadoDeSalud.gov was "not up and running yet because what we don't want to do is bring people into a site that doesn't function well."

She is a day late and a dollar short.

Maryland state police and federal agents used a search warrant in an unrelated criminal investigation to seize the private reporting files of an award-winning former investigative journalist for The Washington Times who had exposed problems in the Homeland Security Department's Federal Air Marshal Service.

Reporter Audrey Hudson said the investigators, who included an agent for Homeland's Coast Guard service, took her private notes and government documents that she had obtained under the Freedom of Information Act during a predawn raid of her family home on Aug. 6.

The documents, some which chronicled her sources and her work at the Times about problems inside the Homeland Security Department, were seized under a warrant to search for unregistered firearms and a “potato gun” suspected of belonging to her husband, Paul Flanagan, a Coast Guard employee. Mr. Flanagan has not been charged with any wrongdoing since the raid.

The warrant, obtained by the Times, offered no specific permission to seize reporting notes or files.

The Washington Times said Friday it is preparing legal action to fight what it called an unwarranted intrusion on the First Amendment.

'Reminds me...

On the air, news-talk's Sean Hannity tried to figure out ObamaCare by telephone. The gal who answered (truthfully) was subsequently fired.

Shouldn't The Government use the FCC to eliminate news-talk shows?

 

From HuffPost:

"When Sean Hannity called the Obamacare hotline, not only did he not get the answer he wanted, but he also got a woman fired. Luckily for her, Hannity had the money to help her out.

The Fox News and radio host called the hotline on Monday and spoke on-air with employee Erling Davis about promised improvements to the Obamacare website. Hannity brought Davis back onto the show on Thursday, and she revealed that she had been let go after their conversation.

Davis said that when she returned to work the morning after the phone call, she was escorted up to HR and told that she would be released from the company. When Hannity asked her what the specific reason was, she told him that her employer said she was not permitted to have contact with the media. Davis claimed she was never told this and had no idea that this was company policy.

Hannity promised Davis a one year tax-free salary of $26,000, as well as help her to find a new job so that she can continue to support her two children..."

Hmmm.



A "Potato Gun" is made of PVC plastic piping, and shoots (launches) a potato. Hair spray is commonly used as "the propellant".

 

Whatever happened to freedom of the press?
