You so need what's below the fold.
Mayhap the Moron Horde will take up a collection if you promise to pic so it happened.

Initially, I wanted to mock how the left is handling their recent setbacks in a calm and professional manner. Like in this video.
And, yes, I am a hypocrite for loving Stewart this one time.
I was going to mock the left for continuing to push the Obamacare Disaster, despite yet another political pummeling, for it is worthy of mocking. But I can't. I cannot bring myself to pile onto something that has already been fucked worse than a barn full of capons. I can't, because what more can I add? What more can I add to a group of people who are so determined to push a massively unpopular shitpile of fuckyfuckfuckfuck laced with fuck despite every warning outside of their inner circle not to proceed?
But then, Alice sent me this. Go. Read. And report back.
My response?

Rough week for Obama, but I think Phillips has him beat.

Second, it's not funny and I shouldn't laugh but how freaking surreal is it that Scott Baio gets death threats for mocking Michelle Obama on Twitter.
You have to laugh because what the freaking hell. Look, we get pretty heated in our rhetoric around here but we also are able to stay on the proper side of the line. Even eddie's most impassioned rants cannot reasonably be taken as actual threats. Threatening someone over something on twitter? Really? Really? There's bat shit insane and then there's that.
I've mentioned before that I'm not comfortable with the slamming on the First Lady's looks but that is really really not death threat worthy.
I think a lot of the Left needs a time out and a juice box.

It appears that the brain trust over at HuffPo thinks that this is a problem for Brown. (safe link to Treacher)
Oh, yes, it's obviously a horrible terrible problem! I'm totally offended! In fact, I think I need to watch it a few dozen more times to make sure I'm super cereal offended!
You know, if I were a bitchier person, I'd note that it seems that the ones with sexual hangups are those on the Left who presume that all Republicans are total prudes who can't see a lovely women in a bathing suit without shrieking STONE HER STONE HER. But I'm not that person so I won't say that.

The HAARP Program - spawn of more conspiracy theories than the moon landing and JFK's death combined - is the cause of the earthquake in Haiti. It may also have caused the China quake last year, and what we've done so far is just a warm-up for Iran.
For anyone who's interested in exploring the really terrifying depths of the HAARP Program, may I recommend Jerry Smith's Haarp: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy. Smith doesn't think it can cause earthquakes. He does think it can be used as a mind-control device. In an aside, Smith is a good guy (yes, we know him), if a little passionatecrazy.

With everything else going on, it's no wonder that this particular story has been largely ignored. After all, who wants to discuss the fact that one of Obama's first acts as President was to announce that Guantanamo Bay would be closed by, oh, tomorrow? Here's my favorite observation of the article:
Since Obama took office a year ago, more than 40 detainees have been removed from the naval base in Cuba — sent off to their homelands or to other countries. If the administration cannot quicken that pace, it would take until a hypothetical second Obama term to actually empty the site.
Good, Solid B+.

The actual story is that today’s proposal is totally new, far more radical than anything Obama and his top officials, mainly chief economic adviser Larry Summers and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, have proposed in the past. Indeed, they’ve been actively avoiding it for the better part of their first year in office. The president was gracious enough today to credit the man responsible for it—“we’re calling it the Volcker rule after the tall guy behind me,†he said—but what Obama didn’t say was that, until now, former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker has been virtually ignored by his administration.I would guess that the other thing that wasn't said was a great big Fuck You to the GOP for having the temerity to contest a safe Dem seat and win. Even though it's false (look at contribution records) the perception is that Wall Street is in bed with the GOP, so here's a little bit of payback. I wouldn't be surprised if today's decision by the Supreme Court didn't figure into this a bit also. In any case it's a temper tantrum that is going to hurt us all.
(...)
If adopted, along with another proposal to limit the consolidation of the financial sector into giant firms—essentially what’s happened over the past two decades—Obama’s new plan would dramatically change Wall Street as we know it. It would have an effect not unlike that of the Glass-Steagall law of 1933, which forced big banks like J.P. Morgan to spin off their investment-banking sides into new firms (in that case, Morgan Stanley).
Why did Obama decide to pursue this break-up-the-bank plan? According to the senior administration officials, he grew increasingly outraged by Wall Street’s brazenness in going back to business as usual in the year since the crisis. “As we have come out of the crisis and seen major financial institutions make significant profits on their proprietary trading and using the [federal] safety net to do that,†said one official, “it persuaded the president it was worth looking into this.â€
What he didn’t say was that Obama’s been losing altitude in the polls fast, and one of his problems is a perceived softness on Wall Street in the face of public outrage.

Opposition to gay marriage =/= homophobia.
Traveling over 900km to kill your gay son? = homophobia
I trust that this example will come in handy.

I mean, we can't have any tax cheats working for the government or in the Cabinet or anything like that.
Great googly moogly is Obama trying to look like the most tone deaf, arrogant, elitist in the universe? Because if so, he's succeeding!
