OWHDT
In expectation that President Barack Obama will win reelection, I propose keeping the following phrase handy: Obama Wouldn't Have Done That (OWHDT).
OWHDT is an ironic tag for the countless awful, conservative things Obama will do that—had they been done by Romney—would have been used to shame lefties who didn't vote for The One.

There's a retro-stupid column on Common Dreams right now by some yutz named Jill Solnit. It's busily shaming all of us pre-emptively, on the off chance that Obama actually doesn't get re-rewarded the crown. (Yeah, right.)
Within three days it got over six hundred comments, of which easily 3/4ths are indeed calling her a yutz. It's pretty amusing.
Sorry. It's Rebecca Solnit and here's the link if anyone else wants a few giggles.
We've been talking about that column all weekend on Twitter and FB (if you use either or both, you can follow/friend me there, if you'd like, using links in the margin here).
And I just posted tomorrow's 'toon, which is about that very column (which has been posted appreciatively on several "prog" sites).
To be clear, it's Solnit's column, not my upcoming 'toon, that's garnered that appreciation from the "left."
Sorry. I'm too much of an anti-social Luddite for either FB or Twitter, but I should've known you already knew about it.
Here's just about my favorite comment from that thread:
"Barack Embalmer apparently has no difficulty looking the world public squarely in the face and not being the least bit embarrassed by the lies, the fifty megaton whoppers, he told in '08, and the reality of his corrupt, greasy thumb regime. How much does he love himself? Mucho. In nearly four years the man has accomplished nothing positive for the ever growing poor and the ever dwindling middle class. And his act has absolutely worn out. The stink of his high mindedness by now smells like a public bathroom that hasn't been cleaned in a month. Barack Embalmer loves Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch". His favorite character is not William Holden but Ernest Borgnine, the most intelligent of that degenerate gang of thieves and cold-blooded killers. At the beginning of the film, the Bunch ride past a group of children tormenting two scorpions and hundreds of ants, then finally setting them afire. Barack Embalmer laughs every time and says, "That's cold." And there you have the world, the real world, according to the Embalmer. Still thinking about voting for him?"

This is really helpful post, but have you ever wondered what causes hiccups?
