Stories Causing Atlas to Shrug | August 12th Edition

Teams of Obama supporters are going door to door armed with targeted lists of folks who may be uninsured, talking to people seven to eight times, overcoming their objections, and encouraging them to apply for federal subsidies and sign up for Obamacare.

It's Michelle's Veggie Luv! First Lady's Let's Move! program to release hip hop album to encourage children to eat their vegetables.

Overweight people who went through in-person interviews were 27% cent less likely to score a job offer than their trimmer competition, according to the study.

The U.S. is now on the verge of a symbolic threshold: the point at which more than half of all American households receive and accept transfer benefits from the government.

The Government now fears Obamacare co-ops will run out of money before enrolling its first customers - yet another failure.

The government has figured out how to solve its 'leak' problems when it illegally spies on us: replace slow, inefficient humans with computers and violate the constitution freely.
