epa04744259 Russian journalist Leonid Sviridov (L) and Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergey Andreev (R) deliver a press conference at the Russian Embassy in Warsaw, Poland, 12 May 2015. Sviridov announced that he will appeal to the Head of the Foreigners Office against Masovian Voivode decision to revoke him a residence permit in Poland and in the EU. Earlier in October 2014, Polish Foreign Ministry at the request of the Internal Security Agency (ABW), had refused his accreditation to Polish FM and initiated proceeding to revoke Sviridovís residency permit in Poland. EPA/PAWEL SUPERNAK POLAND OUTFury as Russian ambassador accuses POLAND of starting the Second World War even though country suffered millions of casualties during conflict

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
