ROLL CALL: Scott Brown: New Hampshire Move Is ‘Strictly Personal.’

Well, that’s probably for the best, given the massive opposition to Brown from New Hampshire gun-rights activists.

HIDING THE HACKING AT HEALTHCARE.GOV: “At least Target informed its customers of the security breach, as it is required by federal law to do. HealthCare.gov faces no such requirement; it need never notify customers that their personal information has been hacked or possibly compromised. The Department of Health and Human Services was specifically asked to include a notification requirement in the rules it designed for the health-care exchanges, but HHS declined.”

MARK STEYN: Stand Up To The Bullies. “Personally, I think this would be a wonderful opportunity for the GLAAD executive board to sit down with half-a-dozen firebreathing imams and learn about their values, but, unlike the Commissars of the Bureau of Conformity Enforcement, I accord even condescending little ticks like the one above the freedom to arrange his own social calendar.”

You stop this by making it unpleasant and unrewarding. I see people on Twitter are going after GLAAD’s funding from Wells Fargo in response.

And if NRO finds Steyn’s truthfulness unpalatable, I’m pretty sure we could find a place for him at PJ Media. . . .

THE HILL: Manchin: Dems feeling ‘weight’ of O-Care. “Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Sunday said Democrats are feeling the weight of the botched Healthcare.gov site as they prepare for the 2014 midterms. Manchin, known for going against the grain of his party at times, wouldn’t go so far as to say Democrats would lose control of the Senate in 2014, but did say it would be ‘extremely challenging’ to hold on. He added that Republicans are using the debacle surrounding the rollout of President Obama’s signature healthcare reform law to their advantage for the upcoming election cycle.”
