Haunter – Yarn Trails (self released)
Solo project of K. Arthur Miller, making some somber tunes out of drone, folk, and doom. Exceptional stuff, using all weapons at his disposal, quietly screaming Godspeed guitars, layered, processed, & rewound, delicate picking inside on a rainy day, lush washes of bliss, hushed echoes in haunted halls, a few moments of doomed & distorted crunch, all wrapped up in a dark, melancholic shroud, bright enough not to push you over the edge but gloomy in all the right order cialis usa ways, a melodramatic dance through fog with Death waiting for you on the other side, beautiful & depressing, the best kind of drone. Free if you want it to be so there's no reason to pass over this, and seeing as this is his first proper full length, you might want to keep an eye on him.

Subscribe To Comic Con: Live Blogging The Resident Evil: Afterlife Panel Updates
I've already subscribed
Come September, Milla Jovovich will reprise her role as Alice in the fourth film in the Resident Evil franchise. The longest series in the history of video game adaptation, the stars and crew are here in San Diego to show us some footage and answer some questions. And guess what? I'm here to live blog it!
4:06 Kicking it off with a trailer we've already seen, only this time it's in 3D. Arriving on stage are director/writer/producer Paul W.S. Anderson, Wentworth Miller, Ali Larter and Milla Jovovich. Despite the fact that this was one of those rare movies to actually be filmed in 3D, the whole video was almost entirely clear without the glasses. No depth=why made 3D?
4:10 Anderson says he has always been a fan of 3D, but it was Avatar that showed him that the technology was ready.
4:11 The exact same creative team and cast has worked on all four films in the franchise.
4:13 Larter says that Milla and Anderson are the heart of the franchise that properly treat the franchise with the perfect amount of passion.
4:17 The movie was shot in 3D and changed the way that Anderson shot, set up and edited the film. He believes it will be the same type of shift as color and sound.
4:18 Footage of the fight between Ali, Milla and The Executioner from the Resident Evil 5 videogame. I don't know if it is because of the prop or the 3D, but his axe looked like plastic.
4:24 Milla accidentally shot out one of the cameras on set with a gun. Good use of $100,000.
4:27 Just as implied at the end of the third film, there will be an army of Alices in this new film.
4:28 The film was shot all over the world and has the higher budget than any other in the franchise.
4:31 After diverting from the story of the video games in the third film, this film will be heavily based on Resident Evil 5
4:32 Sorry, fans: Leon will not be in this film.
4:34 A fan just got Milla to say "Multipass" like Leeloo from The Fifth Element. Awesome.
4:39 Most of the action scenes in this film were done on green screen, though not all of them.
4:41 Larter just called The Phantom camera (aka the one Cameron used for Avatar) "the diva of the set" because of its inability to function in hot or cold temperatures.
4:43 That's all for this one. Check back in a few for the next round of live blogging!


text: "Real Housewives of New York City" star Kelly Bensimon and chef Sam Talbot are doing a poor job of hiding their romance. While they've denied being an item, the pair were spotted at no fewer than three parties Tuesday night: at a dinner at Butter celebrating Bensimon's upcoming Playboy pictorial, at the bash for "How To Make It in America" and at Interview magazine's 40th anniversary party at Good Units beneath the Hudson Hotel. "I don't know why they deny it," laughs a friend. Also at the Interview party were Naomi Campbell, Kate Bosworth and Mary-Kate Olsen.

Less than two months ago, the Republican Governors Association lectured President Obama on state flexibility for pursuing health reform: "The one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare adopted last year does not work in the states and imposes unnecessary financial burdens on already strapped state budgets."
Such a comment ignored the high degree of state flexibility already in the new health reform law, which allows states to receiver waivers from federal rules if they have alternate approaches for expanding coverage and cutting costs as much as the federal law would.
But the current law wouldn't grant those waivers until 2017, meaning that the states would have to try out the federal approach for three years first.
Yesterday, the President embraced the Wyden-Brown bill, which would allow states to get waivers in 2014, right when the federal law is set to be fully implemented. In other words, states wouldn't have to wait.
Those state-rights lovin' conservatives must be celebrating right?
Apparently not.
The head of the RGA, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said, "I have great concern that the administration is not going to go forward with the flexibility that we're asking for … governors just want freedom to manage their states as they and their citizens see fit."
I don't think Gov. Perry understands what "flexibility" means.
If the Wyden-Brown bill passed, he would have the freedom to pursue the twin health care goals of expanded coverage and cost control however he and his citizens saw fit. Wouldn't even need to have an individual mandate requiring most people to purchase health insurance.
If conservatives had a more private market-oriented approach to expanding coverage and cutting costs — more market-oriented than the current law's plan for 50 state-regulated health insurance marketplaces consisting of only private insurers — here is their golden opportunity to prove it.
Of course, it's also a great opportunity for liberals to show that having a public insurance option or a state-based single-payer system with no private insurance, as Vermont is eager to pursue, can also expand coverage and cut costs.
That's what seems to be making conservatives so ungrateful. The Heritage Foundation blog headlines today, "Obama Offers Flexibility to Implement Single Payer Faster."
That would not be a completely true statement, if conservatives actually had their own private market solutions for expanding coverage and cutting costs. Then the President's plan would effectively provide flexibility for both conservative and liberal ideas.
(Conservatives like those at the Heritage foundation used to have ideas like that, such as the "individual mandate." It just stopped being accepted by conservatives once it was accepted by President Obama.)
But I can only conclude from the conservative reaction that what today's conservative leaders mean by "flexibility" is not flexibility regarding how to pursue the widely popular goals of expanding coverage and reducing costs. Instead, conservatives seem to mean they want the flexibility to not have to care at all about expanding coverage to the 50 million Americans who are uninsured.
If conservatives wish to prove me wrong, then they should embrace Wyden-Brown, join hands with President Obama, and get to work on their own health reform ideas.
If conservatives want to prove that they don't really believe in any sort of health reform that expands coverage and cuts costs, then they should just keep doing what they're doing.

The Metamorphosis; and other stories (1915)
New York Public Library's Books of the Century
Genuine self-analysis is impossible; otherwise there
would be no illness.
Two things strike me about Franz Kafka. First, the almost complete absence of ideas in his work. Second, how obvious it is that his work is fundamentally about either repressed or closeted homosexuality.
First things first; reading these stories and comparing what's actually on the page to the central position that Kafka holds among critics in 20th Century literature, I couldn't help thinking of Chauncey Gardiner. He, of course, is the simple minded hero of Jerzy Kozinski's great book Being There. Having spent his whole life within the grounds of a mansion gardening and watching TV, he enters the world completely unprepared to interact with his fellow man. But the people he meets inflate his non sequitirs into faux profundities and he is soon advising the President of the United States. He is a blank slate upon which other people scribble and then interpret their own ideas as genius. In much the same way, Kafka wrote a series of completely autobiographical tales, and an unpleasant autobiography it is: grown men living at home with their parents; working menial jobs in huge bureaucracies; terrified of marriage; bullied by overbearing fathers; plagued by illness, nightmares and feelings of alienation from all around them except for one loving sister. This was Kafka's own life and these are the common threads that run throughout his work. But add them all together and what you get is a situation, not a set of ideas. Kafka endlessly rewrites the situation that he found himself in; noticeably absent are any thoughts about the origin, meaning or alternatives to this situation, other than killing off the character who finds himself stuck therein.
Second, I guess the discussion of Kafka as a "gay" writer is fairly recent, but I'm not sure how else he can be read. The very lack of socio-political meanings in his work, the degree to which it is situation based, rather than driven by ideas, leaves you with only the elements of the situation to interpret and the point inexorably towards a conclusion that his heroes are isolated by their homosexuality. Just take Metamorphosis; here are the elements of the plot. A grown single man who still lives with his family wakes up one morning to find that he has become a bug. This leads to his being isolated from his shamefaced family. His father drives him out of a room by throwing apples at him. One lodges in his backside and rots there; the resulting infection kills him. Well c'mon; this just isn't even subtle. A family ashamed of their single son. He's a dung beetle for cripes sakes. The apple (sin) infects his posterior. I mean surely we've all got the picture by now. Why go on?
All of which leaves us with an interesting question, does the fact that his stories may not have meant to him what they have come to mean to different schools of critics in some way diminish his stature as a literary figure? Or does the fact that his intensely personal story can be read in a universal manner to apply to (1) the Jewish experience, (2) the epoch of totalitarian regimes and (3) the dehumanizing age of bureaucracy in which we all live, actually demonstrate just how great a writer he was?
I'm inclined towards the first view. I think that the situation that he reiterates in his work is so specific to him and has so little to say about the world most of us live in that it is hard to justify his lofty position in the literary pantheon. As I read, I found myself thinking, "this author is a troubled boy" more often than "this is a troubling society he describes". In a perverse way, it seems likely that the best thing that ever happened to Kafka was the rise of totalitarian regimes in general and, specifically, their banning of his works. It is noteworthy that he died before the long dark night of Nazism and Communism descended on Europe. It is only retrospectively that his work came to be read as a gloss on these regimes. And had they simply ignored him, it's hard to believe that he would have come to be so closely associated with their machinations. Return him to the time and place that he wrote and take his work at face value and I think you're left, not with a writer whose work defines and illuminates the 20th Century (a la Orwell, with whom he is often unjustly paired), but with merely the mildly intriguing tales of an unwell man.

After reading "Description of a Struggle," a work unpublished until after Kafkaa's death, in which the first-person narrator, a self-loathing skinny tall man, struggles with the inner torment of falling for his outwardly straight "new acquaintance," I quickly came to realize that Kafka was gay. Upon making that realization, I reread Metamorphosis, and my favorite "Unhappiness" only to find that Kafka's writing is so obviously laced with his gayness conflict (whether self-realized or not, I dont know.) I mean look at the titles of his stories alone: the Stoker ? in the Penal Colony? Come on! Surely its a shock to those that first see it, but sorry to say it: Kafka was a gay dude and he used his writing to deal with the surrounding conflict.

I was an English literature and political philosophy major at a large (American, Roger) state university. "The Metamorphosis" was required reading in no fewer than five of the courses I took. The only work that showed up as required reading more often was "Hamlet," which I was required to read in six different classes. I have to say that while some of my fellow students expressed a certain level of outrage whilst studying "The Metamorphosis," none reached the fevered pitch of some of the comments posted here. Most of the objections from my classmates seemed to concern the silliness of a stiflingly serious story in which a dude turns into a bug. None involved angry sympathy for a closeted homosexual or self-righteous indignation against the American hegemony.
Which is to say, Orrin, that your somewhat more succinctly-stated critique of the work is consistent with the response of most of my classmates: to borrow a phrase, "The Metamorphosis" is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Piss and wind. And so it is---even minimal awareness of Kafka's milieu and the narrow themes of his writing demonstrate that he wasa one-trick pony whose works did not in and of themselves aspire to communicate anything approaching universal truth. To read into Kafka any meaningful, true, final insight into the condition of the human soul or society is to impose upon the ramblings of a young, unhappy, unfulfilled, rather unthoughtful Czech rube a vastly unjustified potency.
On the other hand, you may be a little too quick to dismiss "The Metamorphosis" without recognizing its value as a literary tool. What I mean is that not every literary work need be a paradigm of invention to have a place of quasi-canonical significance. "The Metamorphosis," like the rest of Kafka's work, is no better than a snapshot of the life of one tortured, dim hack scribbler. But the snapshot captures a confluence of conditions, events and ideas which profoundly influenced Western cultural development (and which, based on the venom of some of your posters, continue to resonate). First and foremost is the dimmest, most negative sort of existentialism. S*!t just happens to poor Gregor. Second is the bureaucratism of city life and the persistent class system in post-feudal eastern Europe (that's probably really two separate items). Third is the presentation of what Kafka presents in his story. Remember that the novel itself as a literary form is today only a little older than our nation (that's the US of A, Roger). The concept of using an unexplained supernatural event to highlight and reify the unhappiness of a doomed protagonist---well, that's pretty high-concept for the novel of the late 19th century. Not necessarily subtle or ingenious, but high-concept and worth noting in the course of the development of the form. Then there's the family conflict related in terms that resonate in what we now perceive to be sexually symbolic, thanks to the influence of Freudian psychoanalysis.
As a prescriptive matter, we could have all probably done without "The Metamorphosis." As a descriptive matter---as a registration of significant and substantial shifts in the Western worldview and, part and parcel, Western literature, the story is an efficient and remarkable little tool.
If it is indeed a gay book, as current convention suggests, then it is fairly remarkable on that count as well. I tend to view that particular matter, however, as one of convergent evolution. Those (like you, apparently, Orrin) who view the work singularly as the expression of misery of the "closeted homosexual," have in my opinion bought into the myth of the universality of experience of said misery. Don't misunderstand; I'm not attempting to belittle the struggle related by countless self-described gays who perceive societal and family resistance to their efforts to define their lives exclusively according to their sexual attractions and behavior and then dare anyone to object. I'm just not convinced that such an infantile, unjust-victim-of-society self-image informed any cohesive body of persons who engaged in homosexual behavior in Kafka's time. If this is indeed what "The Metamorphosis" is all about---and it may well be---well, the story is prescient indeed, is it not?
I myself grew glad to see "The Metamorphosis" on syllabi, because I had grown intimately familiar with the work. I remain bemused by those who are so enthused with defending its literary value and/or using it as a springboard to emote on issues of the day (gayness, Americannness). But I view Kafka as, more or less, a Poe-like figure (though with less literate panache)---self-absorbed, miserable, and impotent. Sorta good readin', lotsa bad livin'.

Hello...I shall openly admit that I am a 15 year old who happened to come across Kafka's books. I decided to search online for a non-biased analysis of his stories and stumbled upon this website... Really, your arguments are really entertaining...Personally, I think all you guys out there are not entirely wrong or right in your analysis of Kafka's fiction. I do agree to an extent, that Kafka is a troubled soul...But face the fact, in today's world, many people are plagued by this disease called depression, and if Kafka actually wrote his stories to give a description of his predicament rather than consolidate ideas, then what is wrong with that? I don't think that we should just label this man as someone who is wrapped all over in self-pity. How can we do so when we did not live in the country that he lived in and at also that particular time period? I think OJ is going a little bit far there, when you say that he is hinting at "repressed homosexuals". Maybe I'm young and naive, but just because Kafka often talks of being ostracised and shamed, doesn't mean that he hints at homosexuality or whatever. Also, although I would say that though Kafka's books do not exactly reflect the perfect vision of a melting-pot of ideas, it is not lacking thereof of ideas at all. No book can exist without ideas. Kafka's books do not have the shape or format of an average novel or work of literature has. But though you can say that Kafka's works do not have strong plots (or proper narratives maybe), you can't really say that they lack ideas. The strong themes that he wants to express are ideas in themselves.

Yes, a gay author can write a universal story, but a gay story is generally not universal.

oj, you seem to really be uncomfortable with homosexuality, you do know that Shakespeare was gay, right?
you gave him a pretty good review
by the way, incredibly shallow reviews, i read 'em for entertainment purposes only, this website is literary bubblegum, its fun to chew on, but swallowing this stuff can't be to good for you

I have great sympathy for Kafka. Whether he is gay or straight is beyond the point of his writing. I read somewhere that Kafka was disgusted by the thought of sex, which would lead many to believe that Kafka, maybe infact was a homosexual. However, if you examine the relationship with he had with his father and mother, it may be that his repulsion from sex came not from homosexuality but from the fact that sex was a reminder of intimacy that was simply to painful and to meaningful for him to involve himself in after the damgae his family relationships had done to him. Where I see why you may become bored with Kafka's diversity of the themes in his works, and you mention that his works contained no universal theemes that people could relate to, therefore making him not inclusive with the greats of literature. However, isn't it entirely possible that maybe Kafka never intended to be a great? He was just writing to ease his inner pain and to connect to those who felt the same way in order toe arse some of his isolation. He just wanted to be heard and maybe not make philosophical statements. This may be why he order his friend Max to burn his works after his death. However, maybe that's truly the greatest part about Kafka, he started out with intent to free his soul, and on the way unintentionally connected with a greater audience.
Sincerely, Amy Trudell
P.S. Although Kafka did live and die long ebfore Nazism reached it's higher power, it isn't to say he didn't experience the hardships of the Jews. he was born in Prague and into an area highly ridden with anti-Semitism, to which he felt the burden of heavily.

The "universal theme" in Kafka's work is human alienation because of negative family relationships, work, failure to make acquaintances into friendships ... whatever. This theme is important because everyone has dealt with this to one degree or another.
On the other hand, when reading some of his work, you can't help but pick up on some of autobiographical roots. Some are interesting; others have more of a "Get over it" reaction, at least from me. I'n not talking about Kafka's characters, rather Kafka himself. I think his biggest obstacle was himself: a lot of people have family relationships that are a lot worse than Kafka's, but they find ways to overcome them.

To explain my last comment to the unresponsive degenerate: your last statement proves your being American by highlighting your tendency to believe that you understand the minds of people from far off lands whom you have never dealt with in any meaningful way, and to assert that they would surely agree with you; You the righteous, superior, and future of the Earth. Land of the free and home of the brave. God bless you, Orrin. You and all your idiotic brethren.
- Roger Davidson
- Jul-08-2003, 10:30
I find it hard to believe that you are attempting to suggest that Kafka's work did not touch upon universal themes. Do we all not struggle with difficult family relationship from time to time in our lives? To statae that his work contains no ideas is quite frankly proposterous. Do you not agree that mans alination from his own life and society is a huge idea that Kafka eagerly presented. I feel the autobiographical nature of his work serves only to heigten our response as a reader. I really dont see how you can feel that this narrows his literary scope at all.

No need to be so upset just because Kafka agreed with me rather than you...
- oj
- Jun-21-2003, 10:33
Further (because I am so annoyed by your stupidity and arrogance), it is well-known among intelligent readers that Kafka is renowned precisely BECAUSE he was able to incorporate some of the personal aspects of his life into universally meaningful tales. This was his speciality, if you like; therefore you have missed the point at the outset. There are millions of websites like this one, and they are bad for literature, and bad for intelligent discourse. I'm sorry I stepped upon it. Are you American by any chance? "...the mildly intriguing tales of an unwell man." I expect you will spend the rest of your life being only "mildly intrigued", as that is surely the utmost your level of intelligence will allow.
- Roger Davidson
- Jun-21-2003, 10:22
"Move on." "Get over it." Why do you bother reading at all? You sound like you're suggesting Kafka shouldn't have written at all. You simplify and reduce. You obviously have no sensitivity to the nuances of writing like Kafka's. It is the ambiguity which is so important. "The lack of meanings..." - you are obviously blind to subtleties. You are boorish and idiotic. I know many people like you who read a book, then announce "It's about THIS!" and have done with it. Kafka professed to have written solely for himself, requesting that his works be burned. I don't entirely believe this, but I certainly believe he didn't write for people like you. You are just another arsehole with a website and an opinion.
- Roger Davidson
- Jun-21-2003, 09:49
I don't see how you can group authors together on the grounds of their sexuality.
you really couldn't get a trio of more different writers than kafka, hemingway and forster - yet you seem to dismiss them all on the basis of homosexuality. if forster fits in with any 'category', it is surely with the bloomsbury set, and authors like mansfield, woolf etc, not these other 'gay' writers.
sexuality may well inform some aspects of their work - but they all write about many different aspects of humanity because they are human beings.
to say hemingway isn't 'universal' is odd - his novels are extremely popular around the world.
to point out areas where an author's sexuality influences his work is valid. to criticise an author or say he can't have 'universal' appeal BECAUSE he is gay is pure homophobia and is not valid.
some academics say Shakespeare may have had homosexual relationships. will you revise your rave reviews of Julius Caesar if this is one day proven?
- May-27-2003, 10:55
Yes, the miserableness is the point, is it not? What can an author who is so profoundly self-loathing tell us about life in general? Because their stories proceed from their sexuality they're interesting case studies but not universal in the way great literatiure should be.
- oj
- May-27-2003, 09:19
well a)what have they ever done to you?
and b) what has their (alleged, not proven, not even very obvious) homosexuality got to do the quality of the prose? was rock hudson a bad actor because he was gay? or elton john a bad songwriter, or alexander the great a poor military tactician?
i notice you've also bashed hemingway for being gay... well, you can't exactly accuse him of flaunting it...IF he did have gay tendencies, they made him miserable.
- May-27-2003, 05:35
Sure. It seems pretty straightforward, but if you can tell me what's unclear about it, I'll be glad to elaborate.
- oj
- May-21-2003, 12:54
having read some of your reviews, espeically forster, kafka and kerouac, it seems to me that you have a bit of a hang-up about homosexuality.
care to elaborate on why you dislike gays?

My Dad has always made me feel like I am his favorite daughter. He has a way of making all 5 of us girls feel that way. He's told me before that he didn't know what to do with so many girls, he had always pictured himself with sons, but I must say that he is the perfect man for the job of being a Dad to 5 girls and 1 boy.
Some of my first memories are of Sunday mornings when I would get ready for church and my Dad would see me and say: "Chels, you look like a million bucks!" That is the greatest compliment he can give to any person, and it always has meant a lot to me when he says it. He taught me and Meg how to fish, how to play softball, how to be gracious winners, and how to be content and grateful for what you have. He has always had a gift for meeting new people and making them feel comfortable and feel like they've known him for years. He is a hard worker. He has always been very conscientious of Meg and I as individuals. He has known our differences from the beginning and always helped us grow those differences and be comfortable with being an individual. He has always done little things to make me feel important. Whether it was taking me around the block in his truck while I chewed Grape Bubblegum (he always knew how much Meg and I loved bubblegum), stopping at the gas station to get chocolate milk because we needed a random treat, or listening to me and Meg sing "Somewhere Out There" when we were 4 years old and needed an audience.
Over the years I have learned to know him as more than just my Dad, he is a wonderful man. He has been through so much in his life, and he always tries to teach me the lessons he has learned so I don't have to go through the same things and so I can avoid hurt. He is my biggest fan and the biggest believer in me. I am so grateful that he is my Dad! Here we are on my wedding day:
Now I'll talk about my sweet Father in Law, Jim. Jim is a quiet man. He listens more than he speaks. But when he does have something to say it is either filled with wisdom or very witty. He is also a hard worker, like my Dad. His whole life revolves around family and the Gospel. He is an amazing Grandpa. I am so excited to have kids so they can have fun with their Papa Jimmy, just like all of the grand kids do now. He is a true Patriarch. He is very nonjudgmental. He loves people and wants those around him to feel loved. He is a great example of faith to me. He knows what is right and he sticks to his guns no matter what, but at the same time he never makes people feel guilty if they make mistakes. He has made Jesse into the man he is today, and for that I will always be grateful. Here's a picture of Jesse and his Dad on our wedding day (don't they look alike? Like father like son :)
I am so lucky to have these men in my life. They have taught me so much and continue to do so. I love you Dad and Jim!

Ky. gov hits McConnell on ACA
Democratic Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear took a jab at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell over his continued opposition to the Affordable Care Act.
Speaking on Capitol Hill on Thursday, Beshear called on McConnell and other Republicans in his state's congressional delegation to come see the exchange and the state residents who want to take advantage of the law. Kentucky's state-run insurance exchange is operating more efficiently than most other exchanges in the country, including the federal system.
Story Continued Below
"I want to publicly invite our entire federal delegation to come back to Kentucky as [Democratic Rep.] John Yarmuth does all the time and come over to our center, our nerve center where we're running this program and see for yourself what is going on," said Beshear. "When you see that, I think you'll quit saying this will not work and Kentuckians don't want it."
( PHOTOS: Mitch McConnell's career)
McConnell said he's aware of how the health care law is unfolding in his home state.
"Ever since the passage of Obamacare, I've been traveling around Kentucky, listening to what my constituents have to say about this disastrous law," McConnell said in a statement. "I've spoken with concerned Kentuckians at 57 health care town halls around the state. What I've heard at every stop is proof that the damage Obamacare is doing isn't just speculation — it's reality."
Beshear said he expects McConnell's criticism of the law will come back to haunt him.
"I have a U.S. senator who keeps saying Kentuckians don't want this," Beshear said. "Well, the facts don't prove that out. There's about 550,000 on our website right now who want it — and some 65,000 to 69,000 that have signed up. So Kentuckians do want it."
Beshear said he expects the health care law to be an issue in McConnell's reelection campaign next year.
"It will be interesting to see what type of an election issue this is next year," Beshear said. "Obviously, the critics right now want to divert attention from the dysfunction here and the lack of ability to get things done, would like us all to be looking at the website and all of these extraneous types of issues with the Affordable Care Act, but I have a feeling by November of next year, this will be an issue."
( PHOTOS: 12 Democrats criticizing the Obamacare rollout)
Beshear was on the Hill Thursday to buck up House Democrats, who have been downtrodden about the law's disastrous rollout.
"My main message to the House caucus today was a message that's tough for folks to listen to when you have elections coming up but it's simply this: Be patient. Take a deep breath," Beshear said. "Because I'll guarantee you by next November, this issue is going to look a lot different than it looks right here on the Hill right now."
He encouraged Democrats to talk about the health care overhaul in their campaigns.
"I think it's going to be a plus," he said. "If I were running for anything, I sure would be running on it."

And lawmakers continued to press the Defense Department, the government's largest civilian employer, to further reduce or eliminate planned furloughs and other cutbacks for most of its workforce.
"It is increasingly clear that these actions are threatening to undermine mission performance and, as a result, mission readiness," a bipartisan group of 126 House members wrote in a letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
Although many observers see little chance of fully rolling back the sequester, the controversy is not going away, said Peter Winch, deputy director of field services and education for the American Federation of Government Employees, the union that represents many federal workers.
"This sort of punitive across-the-board approach just seems illogical, and both the administration and Congress seem to be backing away from that," Winch said.
The sequester's $85 billion in spending cuts, which began taking effect in March, were triggered by the 2011 Budget Control Act after lawmakers and the White House deadlocked on a path to reduce future deficits by $1.2 trillion by 2021. The Pentagon is taking about an 8 percent cut; most other agencies, 5 percent.
Furloughs begin
Furloughs for some 4,000 Labor Department employees began April 15. The FAA, Office of Management and Budget, Environmental Protection Agency and National Park Service followed suit last week, said Jessica Klement, legislative director for the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association.
On Capitol Hill, the sharpest partisan sparring involved the FAA, where thousands of air traffic controllers and other employees are forced to take one furlough day per pay period. As flight delays quickly mounted, top Republican lawmakers accused the Obama administration of political posturing.
"You didn't forewarn us that this was coming," House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers, R-Ky., told FAA Administrator Michael Huerta at a hearing. "You didn't ask advice about how we should handle it." Another top Republican, Rep. Tom Latham of Iowa, questioned why the FAA's parent agency, the Transportation Department, is still doling out almost a half-billion dollars in grants aimed at fostering "livable and sustainable" communities.
"Do you have any ability to transfer any of this money?" Latham asked.
Huerta replied that salaries and benefits account for about 70 percent of his agency's operations budget and the law requires him to cut every account to achieve $637 million in cuts. "The hardest thing that we have to do is reduce these hours," he said. "But in order to hit the target we need to hit, we don't really have any choice."
The furloughs have sparked a legal challenge by two airline trade groups and the airline pilots union. It is unlikely that a court will take action on the matter until before late May. FAA employees, who are taking a 10 percent pay cut as long as the furloughs last, are "pawns," Tom Rizzardo, an air traffic controller at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, said in a phone interview.
"We are probably being used by both sides in a kind of political firestorm," said Rizzardo, also the facility representative for the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. "The short-term goal for us is to get back to work, period."
Under the bipartisan bill introduced by Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, that quickly passed the Senate and House late last week, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood could transfer up to $253 million from an airport grant program to "ensure a safe and efficient air traffic control system." Only about 15,000 of FAA's 47,000 employees are air traffic controllers, and it is unclear whether other agency employees will be exempted from furloughs. It will be up to LaHood to decide that, but the issue has already "created a lot of tension," Louis Dupart, executive director of the FAA Managers Association, said in an interview.
At press time, the measure was expected to be signed by President Obama.
To Klement, it came as no surprise that lawmakers, many of whom fly home every week Congress is in session, are taking a special interest in FAA. But employees at other federal agencies do equally important work, she said, and nonetheless still face furloughs.
"What about the rest of them?"
Other furlough plans
At least two other agencies scaled back their furloughs last week. One of those is the Justice Department, which for months has been warning prosecutors, FBI agents and others in its 100,000-strong workforce that they faced up to 14 days of unpaid time off. Last month, however, the department resorted to an emergency funding transfer to head off furloughs at federal prisons.
In last week's memo, Attorney General Eric Holder said extra money in a recently passed spending bill — coupled with a hiring freeze, contracting cuts and other reductions — means that no furloughs for any Justice Department staff will be needed in fiscal 2013. Holder noted, however, that the 2014 landscape is still unsettled. If sequester funding levels continue past September, he said, "furloughs are a distinct possibility."
EPA, has adopted a two-stage strategy. Starting April 21, employees began scheduling four furlough days through mid-June. After that, the agency will decide whether more furloughs are needed, but the maximum has been cut from 13 to about 10, according to a memo last week from acting Administrator Bob Perciasepe.
The Internal Revenue Service confirmed it will need to shut down for at least five days between May and August, with an additional two days "possible in August and September," acting Commissioner Steve Miller told staff. On those dates, "all public-facing operations" will close, including toll-free help lines and taxpayer assistance centers, he said.
And National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration employees face up to four furlough days, according to an official notice.
Courts ask for more money
For the federal courts, which are losing almost $350 million to the sequester, the impact is particularly harsh because they "have no control over their workload," Chief Judge William Traxler said in a statement signaling plans to seek more than $51 million in extra 2013 appropriations to replace money for defender services, security and other areas. Courts "must respond to all cases that are filed, whether they are by individuals, businesses or the government," he said.
Traxler chairs the executive committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States, the judiciary's main policymaking body. This month, the panel approved a spending plan for the defender services program that will require employee furloughs of up to 15 days, Traxler said, and defer payments to private attorneys for the last 15 business days of the fiscal year in September. Among the defender offices in the firing line is Boston's, which is representing Tsarnaev in the Boston marathon bombing case, according to court filings.
The judiciary's plan also means millions of dollars in expenses will be shifted to fiscal 2014, even though those costs weren't part of the courts' budget request. "This level of funding is unsustainable without relief from Congress," Traxler said.
DoD furloughs undecided
The biggest question mark hovers over DoD's almost 800,000 permanent civilian workers, who face up to 14 furlough days by the end of September. That is down from the 22 originally forecast; Hagel made the change after the latest spending bill gave the Pentagon more flexibility to shift money among accounts.
Last week, 126 House members urged him to go further and let the individual military services and other DoD operations avoid furloughs if they can.
The lawmakers said they are aware that Hagel's office is reviewing individual installations' requests for relief, but "to date we have been told only that all civilian furloughs are being applied in the same manner across the department, regardless of whether a service component or defense agency has the resources to buy back the furlough days."
The letter was released by AFGE, which said in a news release that its members were instrumental in rounding up signatures of support. While the bulk of the signers were Democrats, they also included Republicans such as Rep. Blake Farenthold, whose South Texas district encompasses Corpus Christi Army Depot.
DoD is seeking to close a $41 billion budget gap for fiscal 2013 stemming from the sequester. Besides the planned furloughs, it is already using hiring freezes and layoffs of temporary workers to cut payroll costs.
A DoD spokeswoman had no comment on the letter. At a recent Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Hagel said officials were "probably a couple of weeks away" from making a final decision on the number of furlough days needed.
Winch, of AFGE, expected a decision by early next week.
