There is a serious requirement for a quantitative rating system to accurately determine the precise amount of anguish and suffering being exacted on American citizens by each action and policy of the Obama administration. At this point in time, the preponderance of this pain is being felt by conservative-leaning citizens, since most of those on the left are still numb with the debilitating disease, "Obama Messiah Syndrome". This is thankfully beginning to dissipate, as indicated by recent polls, and pain levels on the left will soon approach the rest of the country. In my selfless attempt to fulfill this urgent need, I have used the model of the "Schmidt Sting Pain Index".

Right on the money, except for this:
“Feels like a mild jab in the groin, mitigated by the knowledge that most of the Red Shirts (ACORN) and Purple Shirts (SEIU) probably won’t show up unless they are paid.”
Whatever mitigation is involved is more than offset by the aggravation of realizing that much of what is paid to these agitators ultimately can be traced back to taxpayer funding!
And since the law maker judges said that Ashcroft as AG can be held personally liable, look out BamaKennedy and your misery making band of czars!!!!
