++The creator of ACAsignups.net or Obamacaresignups.net predicted January 1 would mark 2 million enrolled in the federal and state exchanges. Brainwrap has jumped the shark and today's numbers are 2,025,432 enrolled and 4,009,595 from Medicaid expansion. That's 6,035,027 combined. Add in the 3.1 million "adult children" kept on their parents plan and we might see 10 million by the end of next month.
++Darryl Issa showed up on the morning talk shows not to announce his resignation but to refute the Times article on Benghazi. He still claims Al Qaeda was behind it and it had nothing to do with the video. The Times reporter told NBC there was no evidence of any Al Qaeda direct involvement. We will have to leave that to Lindsey Graham and Lara Logan.
++For a fun read, Caitlin Dickson at the Daily Beast on the "Best of the Fringe Factor". It is a brief run through the best political weirdness from masturbating fetuses to Wendy Davis as a terrorist.
++Carnival Cruz still blames the government shutdown on President Obama and Harry Reid. He is also taking steps to complete the legal work to renounce his Canadian citizenship.
++Conventional wisdom has Chris Christie beating Hillary Clinton by 3 pts in 2016. In second-place for the GOP nomination Mike Huckabee is tied with Carnival Cruz, who said he isn't thinking about Washington politics but only about Texas.
++Conventional wisdom also has the Democrats doomed in 2014 in both the House and Senate as well as the state houses. President Obama is always doomed. Maybe John McCain can make up the difference in another two months.
++In the South Sudan, the world's youngest country,President Salva Izir has committed himself to a ceasefire. The 25,000 "White Army" was marching on the capital last night and the press said South Sudan was doomed also. This morning they are reported going back to their homes. Who knows?
++Iran is keeping their new centrifuges off-line, contrary to press reports. The Iranian issue will be front and center for the next six months.
