[rewritten, with some additional links]

As many writers have been noting, particularly over the past week. the Obama Administration is getting more and more desperate in trying to make Obamacare work, or at least to avoid complete disaster. They are tossing aside enacted laws, published regulations, and their own computer systems to find some way to avoid the hard collision between what the ACA says and what is happening in real life. This was all predictable and predicted — not just over the past 2 1/2 months, but over the past four years.

Right now, I’m not sure how much new IT-related systems analysis I have to give. The IT problems are all pretty much unfolding as I and many, many others said they would, which is probably why the Obama Administration is resorting to its current measures. It is, perhaps, time to sit back a bit and see what happens next.

In the meantime, I give you Yeats.

“The Second Coming” (1919)

William B. Yeats Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand;

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out

When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi

Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,

A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it

Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again but now I know

That twenty centuries of stony sleep

Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

What rough beast indeed? ..bruce w..
