A regular feature wherein symbolic outrages, contrived outrages, real outrages, and outrageous outrages are recounted. Think of it as a first draft of bathetic history.

Liberals are OUTRAGED that Rush Limbaugh seemed to liken Democrats to murderers, rapists, and "this Muslim guy" that "offed his wife's head"...

CNBC Rick Santelli is OUTRAGED that his taxpayer money is subsidizing his neighbors' mortgages.

New York Post reporters are OUTRAGED that their cartoonist compared Barack Obama to a chimp.

John Gibson is OUTRAGED that Huffington Post thought he compared Eric Holder to a monkey's bright blue scrotum.

And the New York Post is OUTRAGED that liberals interpreted the cartoon as being racist.

Europe is OUTRAGED that General Motors is cutting jobs on the continent.

Michelle Malkin is OUTRAGED that no one is paying attention to her OUTRAGE.

Republican activists continue to be OUTRAGED at the idea that Democrats will bring back the "Fairness Doctrine."

Jonas Brother Nick thinks his fans are OUTRAGEOUS in a good way.

Some folks are OUTRAGED that the House Oversight Committee refuses to hold hearings on pro wrestling and baseball's steroid problems.
