We started the day on a political note, with a post about Barney Frank and the health care reform town hall meeting protesters, which engendered a heated but very thoughtful (mostly) debate in the comments. (Speaking of: I haven’t checked in on that thread in awhile, have we solved all the problems?) It turns out, important real life issues that genuinely affect peoples’ lives are very complicated and not everyone agrees on their resolution! (I’m basically a political scientist.) But, so, now that we’ve settled health care for America (congrats, guys), I thought that it was only appropriate to end the day with a post that brought us all back together. I’m crossing party lines here! Non-partisan whatever. Arrested Development was a great show for all Americans! “Arrested Development was Hitler.” Hey, take it easy! (Via TheDailyWhat.)

Barney Frank is looking for something that says…”Daddy Likes Leather” (sorry, sorry, I’ll see myself to the door.)
You mean “Leather Daddy”?
Oh, do you have such a thing?
When it comes to a public option, Barney Frank is buy-curious.
To me, the funniest sign in that photo is the one on the right. We all know Orwell wrote extensively about the dangers of health care reform.
“____ is like 1984″ is the new “_____ is Hitler.”
Please insert blanks in those non-existent blanks. Thanks.
David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar
oh, I thought you wanted us to fill in the blanks.
David Lee Roth is to 1984 as Sammy Hagar is to Crystal Pepsi
what america wants!
I can’t decide whether to go with “Obama has made a huge mistake.” or “Never promise crazy health care reform.”
How about just a big “C’MON!!!”
Perhaps a town hall shall I seek.
As in, “Are you really gonna criticize the guy in the $130 billion suit? COME ON!”
I can’t get behind a health care bill that doesn’t cover my analrapist.
If only America could take some Teamocil.
Or maybe some Gleemonex.
I’m for anything that supplies me with Brain Candy, even if it’s made from monkey cum
then again i may have taken the droopy eye alcohol warning for a winking eye alcohol suggestion
There he is! There’s ol’ Barney Frank! “I’m not gonna cry about affordable public healthcare! I’m gonna build an airport! Put my name on it!” Why Barney, so you can fly away from your sadness?
Operation Hot Reform
Arrested Development wasn’t Hitler, but Hitler was a never-nude.
No, Hitler IS A MONSTER!
*arm rips, blood sprays*
And THAT’S why you always advocate the public option.
These protestors seem to have a lot on their minds. It would probably help them to talk to an analrapist.
I blue myself for America.
in reference to Job’s funniest line:
“It’s like c’mon poor people die already.”
I just want my kids back.
americans don’t need insurance as long as they watch out for the loose seals.
This photo doesn’t work without the pained expression on that kid’s face.
Pop-Pop gets health care?
take a look at banner, michael!
“Family Love Healthcare Reform”
This is the greatest comment thread ever.
I saw a sign today advertising the “Steve Holt Magic Show” at this super old-school southern style cafeteria restaurant. STEVE HOLT!
Good to see young Steve following in his father’s footsteps… STEVE HOLT!
My health plan is basically a diet of eggs and mayonnaise.
you call it the “mayonegg”
To me, the health care solution is as Ann as the nose on Plain’s face.
her?
I’m afraid the guy who made that sign prematurely shot his wad on what was supposed to be a dry run if you will, so I’m afraid he has something of a mess on his hands.
A lot of people have proposed a lot of things over these past few months, but here is what may be the most practical of them all: the next Double Dog should be Gabe going to a town hall meeting, you guys!
Make an awesome sign and take a camera (pretty please!). There are at least as many going on in every state as there are Congressional Districts and Representatives. NYC has 31 districts. That’s 31 chances to do something EPIC!
There are 12 this month alone in Chicago – BEST BELIEVE I’m going to at least 1. Sure, I’m going to try to catch a funny moment, but I also want Rep. Rush to know that there are SOME people who support the Health Care overahaul… because all these Congressmembers have been hearing lately are yells of dissent.
It’s time for Gabe to water the tree of justice.
But then he might get wet with fire.
No Sir, somebody has to wrestle with the “Devil” (Gabe) first, then THEY will be the ones who get wet with fire!
I know this because I still have it etched on the back of my iphonepod:
Memories!
Crap, Becca–totes went to up-vote this and clicked the down
…. so +! for me and +1more for the one I took away! Sorry…monster fail. 
Has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken?
Sorry to interrupt this thoughtful debate on health care reform guys, but WHO TOOK THE CAP OFF MY FUCKING GLISTEN?!
Really proud that I thought of the same headline as Videogum, not that I was smart enough to actually use it as the headline… http://flavorwire.com/33754/healthcare-shmealthcare-bring-back-arrested#idc-container
Actually, this guy is a really big fan of the song “Mr. Wendell”.
“Deductibles” Dad, you don’t have time for my “deductibles”!
Will (Big Yellow) Joints be covered by the public option?
The fact that we call making love “a Nazi death scheme” tells me we’re not ready.
What I can’t find out from anybody is if the new plan will cover these Cornballer burns. Soy loco por los cornballs.
Tricks are something Barney Frank does for money.
Okay, I laughed at this even though the promiscuous gay stereotype is deeply offensive. +1 for laffs in the face of ugly stereotypes!
GIVE POP POP YOUR HEALTH CARE!
OR…. Pop-pop gets a co-pay?
That Free Healthcare is some kind of something. Boy, this Free Healthcare is all anybody’s ever talking about. So sick and tired of hearing about how brilliant this Free Healthcare is. Overrated.
Look, I guess we should decide on who’s going to fix our healthcare. I would, but I have Laker tickets.
“Careful with that coat! It cost more than your health insurance!”
“Oh, that’s how we joke. She doesn’t even have health insurance!”
You win
David Lee Roth is to 1984 as Sammy Hagar is to Crystal Pepsi
Of course I read the health care bill; it’s my favorite favorite health care bill! (I gotta read that health care bill)
sarah palin: “obama, take me to your secular world!”
NO TOUCHING!
I’m having a love affair with this public healthcare option.
I was going to try to make a joke about health care and BS, but none of them would work.
Also, I love this thread!
Obama: “oh I’m sorry, good thing i brought a spare copy of my plan for a public health option”
Gob: “well I hope you brought a spare bowl of candy beans!”
If things don’t work out with the economy we can allways live in F*ck Mountain.
Wait. Where are you going? I haven’t shown you my business model!
Comparing Obama’s healthcare plan to 1984 like comparing apples and some fruit no one’s ever heard of.
will obama’s healthcare plan cover tea for dong?
It’s like believing Obama could turn affordable public healthcare…into ONE HUNDRED PENNIES!
Come on! What a joke! OF COURSE Free Healthinsurance is a bullshit!!! Any CongreXmen worth trusting. But I definitely think the smaller health insurance companies are a good solution – these like Humana health etc. This is the most HUMAN solution possible when everyone is crazy because of the money and when the politicians are just a broken promise…! We have to help ourselves alone!!
