Like, for instance, this complete ass of a "doctor" who is turning people away from his practice if they are liberal, progressive, and/or Democrat.
Nice, huh? I didn't know they could do that.
What do you want to bet this guy ends up on Keith Olbermann's "Worst Persons" next week?

All the better to creep you with, my dear...
HuffPo has an entry on what they're calling The Creepiest Children's Books Ever.
There are indeed many unfortunate titles there, but they missed two or three.
Almost 20 years ago when I was working in a bookstore, some things came in that I have always remembered for how strange it seemed that they were intended for children.
One was this edition of Little Red Riding Hood:
It ends with a full-page (possibly double-page), full color illustration of Little Red with the Wolf's jaws clamped around her face. Yes, with blood, IIRC.
Then there was a book which was supposed to teach kids about the order and names of our presidents (at that time, through Bush 1), via this poem (scroll down to 35).
Finally, one of the titles they do mention had a sequel with an even more unfortunate title. The follow-up to this book:
Was called--honest to god, I saw it once at the Wilbur Jr High library--Bigger & Better Boners.

Do you hate it when people talk on their mobile phones at the movies?
Then, you probably won't want to see this movie. It actually encourages them to.

One from on The Hill, and one from out West
Fifty-six percent of respondents said thay disapprove of the [Healthcare] bill, while 42% support it. But only 47% say they want to repeal the bill. Exactly half want the bill to remain law. (23% of respondents want to keep the bill in its current form, while 27% want to make changes to "increase the government's involvement in the nation's health care system.")
News in The Hill.
"There should be another box you can check for, 'I have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
