YOU CAN KEEP YOUR DOCTOR, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PLAN: Unless your Obamacare co-op goes bust, as have 14 of the 23 established at a cost of $2.4 billion in 2011. Many of the co-ops going under, reports the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Team’s Richard Pollock, lack insurance to pay patient and care provider claims in the event of bankruptcy.

This one moves right along with a brisk pace, no time wasted on tangents or transitions but hits all the top notes well. One could do worse than to make this their go-to version. 95/100

UGLY: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Gas Chamber Fantasy for Climate Skeptics

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS:

Which is why pointing the finger at Sarah Palin or Glenn Beck for the crimes of Jared Lee Loughner is only partially correct. The strident and vocal standard bearers in the various Tea Party movements, exemplified in Arizona by the likes of Russell Pearce and Jack Harper, could not develop such a big fan base were they not enablers for a much larger group of people who take the Roosevelt way of looking at the world to heart. Using crosshairs in a gun sight to identify political opponents would not seem that strange to them, because they see politics as a zero-sum game in which one’s opponent should be stuffed and hung on the wall next to the deer heads Sarah shows off on her Alaska show. Many progressives want to say that the lumpen proletariat would not be so wacko without a Fox News or Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin to stir them up. I say we can assign a certain amount of blame to the chefs in the kitchen, but we also have to identify the problem at its source.

—Loring Wirbel, “Violent Depravity as a National Pastime,” Monday, January 10, 2011, after an apolitical lunatic severely wounded Democrat Gabrielle Giffords, killed Bush #41-appointed Federal Judge John Roll, and shot 17 others.

Loring Wirbel, board member of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Colorado chapter and co-chair of the ACLU’s Colorado Springs chapter, called for supporters of GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump to be shot before they vote for the billionaire businessman.

Comparing Trump to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, Wirbel wrote in his Facebook page:

The thing is, we have to really reach out to those who might consider voting for Trump and say, “This is Goebbels. This is the final solution. If you are voting for him I will have to shoot you before election day.” They’re not going to listen to reason, so when justice is gone, there’s always force, as Laurie would say.

—“Colorado ACLU Board Member: Shoot Trump Voters ‘Before Election Day,’” as spotted by Derek Hunter of the Daily Caller, today.

By the way, note the Eiffel Tower-as-peace symbol on Wirbel’s Facebook page:
