Let's Play- Outrage Roulette! What will The Rethugs be mad about next?

The current Outrage flavor is Birth Control and Pre-natal care, obviously, and the last Outrage was the Moon and NASA, I think.

So, what will they be mad about next?

To play, write one topic and the number of Crazy Credits (CC) you want to assign as a bet to your topic.

For example:

I bet on Facebook, 10CC


The bets reset whenever the Outrage machine chances targets or in 3 weeks time, whichever comes first.

For my bet, I am betting on... Organic Farmers, 23CC.

-- Obama over spending will cause US to go bankrupt and default.
-- Obama letting the terrorists have their way in Iraq and Arghanistan.

I'm trying to think of something they haven't been in a tizzy about already!

Have we done Cuba yet? Or do we save that one for July?

How come Obama hasn't sent a Navy Seal team to get Elian Gonzalez back? 5 CC

They will scream that the message espoused by The Lorax are part of a Disney-hatched plot funded by Al Gore and the rest of the Tree Hugging, Climate Change Believers who are shoving their agenda down our kids throats.

Just watch.

I see the outrage machine is about to attack a very familiar target, due to today's news and postings.

But when Cons whine about "political correctness" it is any issue liberals concern themselves, such as gay rights, the environment, public health, etc. They don't see themselves "throwing the political correctness card" over issues like "the assault on religious freedom."

Bush Senior even banned it from the White House menu.

It's green. Healthy. Good for everyone. Affordable, not something only the wealthy can afford. Grown by farmers! In dirt!!
Filthy Kommanist weed!

Sounds like something the Republicans should have been up in arms about long before now.
Maybe Frank Luntz will see this and start writing up the campaign against the "liberal vegetable,"
broccoli (a foreign-sounding name!), and find that a majority of Fox viewers are highly skeptical
that it is even a real vegetable, and if it is, it is really only grown in Kenya............
