[crispini]

Forgive me if someone's already posted this, but per this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=120&topic_id=26087&mesg_id=26087&listing_type=

"It is possible to figure out the number of active members by clicking on the profiles list and adding up all the usernames listed."

So I did it. As of right now:

48,501.

Dayum, that's a lot!

Shortbus President, care of his good friend Whatabildeberger. It's his gyrating gerbil gif.

16. I wouldn't bother

Everyone knows that the special kids aren't allowed to have money :7

And that gerbil only gyrates like that after a weekend-long Taco Bell binge :hurts:
