Er, Um, It's Kinda Quiet Here For What Happened Today. Humble Pie Anyone?

[Solomon]

Can somebody who knows how to do it, post some pictures of pie? Obama likes pie. And he likes erving pie.

It's been a hellava day. Something really good and big happened to day that hasn't happened in this country in a long time. Great victory for Obama and the democrats. Tremendous.

We'll save the best humble pie for those who still, after the primary, after the general, and after getting the largest bill ever passed in history within three weeks of taking the job, who still, even now, want to second guess and tell OBama who he should and shouldn't talk to.

Now I'm going to go and see if I can learn how to post some pie.

:thumbsup:

1. The problem I see is this thing is no were near big enough.

Small enough to fail and big enough for the Pukes to use against us.

[K Gardner]

4. Have to agree with that. No matter what happens, the Rs will claim the upper ground..

if it works - it will be because they "Fixed It"

If it fails - it will be because Obama "spent" too much and didn't listen to them.

We have to get out and frame these things before they do. I'm at the screw bipartisanship phase right now. They need to be buried.

[Solomon]

7. It won't work. They will look like idiots if they do.

I said early on that their best shot would be to vote with the thing and take credit for fixing it. But they didn't do that. They stayed stupid because their base is stupid. They couldn't afford to confuse their base, which would have happened had they looked reasonable with Obsma. Nope. He had them between a rock and a hard place. And instead of embracing the high road, they went back to what they know best.

[K Gardner]

8. Hope you're right ! I guess I'm too used to being ***ewed over by them and can't yet believe we

have a master chess player at the helm !

[cilla4progress]

33. LET'S NOT LET IT FAIL!

C'mon Guys and Gals - BO ain't in this ALONE, is he? I for one am committed to MAKING IT WORK! Are you with me?

[cliffordu]

45. Sure. I'll spend every sheckel they send...

Stimulate me!!!!

[Still Sensible]

52. I don't think this President and his administration

will allow that to happen. Yes, the GOP is banking on this not working. It is really their only chance to avoid being in the wilderness for a long time. But if it does work, I promise they won't get the credit... no way no how.

[mopinko]

22. i'm hoping he will take the rejects, put them into a bill and

have it on the house floor tomorrow.

[guruoo]

40. Love to see it slipped into faith based funding n/t

[AspenRose]

2. It's not humble, though. It's pumpkin.

Is this what you had in mind? :shrug:

[jkshaw]

16. Ahhh! Looks wonderful, Rose.

In more ways than one.

[MadBadger]

3. All credit to Occam Bandage

[rvablue]

5. Your pie chart is so funny! n/t

[liberalmuse]

6. I would love some pie!

Thanks for the reminder. I have some apple and cherry pie slices in the freezer and need to pull one out to celebrate.

BTW, I learned early on that Obama is confident for a reason. He sort of has a plan, and it usually works, or if it doesn't, he pulls out another plan.

[cilla4progress]

34. Great comment!

"He has another plan..." It's so simple, but so genius. It's just good thinking.

[Fire1]

9. What is there to celebrate? Cloture? I don't think so. Come

back when the 'meat' has been put back in the package.

[ecstatic]

10. Of course not. The haters are still in full effect

stinking up the place with their "concerns."

[Solomon]

14. I can't figure out if they're haters or

innocently shortsighted. In any case, I would have thought DU would be jumping for joy tonight. When's the last time the dems did anything?

Today was huge.

[Solomon]

11. Let me see if I can do it.

Nope don't know how to do it. Shoot!

[FatDave]

37. I'm gonna assume you use firefox, because you should be at any rate.

So find a picture you like. images.google.com is great for this. Right-click the picture. Choose "copy image location" from the popup. This will put the URL pointing directly to the image on your clipboard. Now, in the box where you type your DU message, press CTRL-V to paste the image URL into the text of the message. Push the preview button, and you should see the image in your message body instead of the text of the URL.

If you're using IE, the process should be similar, though I haven't touched IE in years. Worst case, you can right-click the image, pick "view image" (or similar option) then copy the URL out of the address bar. Then paste it into the message body as above.

[rufus dog]

12. YUP

And now the talking heads are forced to throw up the poll numbers showing support. And Republicans are looking like idiots getting dressed down on TV.

Never would have happened without playing the game. It is like a game of seven card draw when you get dealt two aces then have the other two dealt on the flop. You can go all in and win the hand, or you can slow play and let some idiot who was dealt the 2 and 3 suited keep upping the bet until the final card is turned. You are hoping the person draws a straight so you can kill them off. The dumb shit repukes went half in at the flop and went all in after the river. (The shocking part is they got dealt bad cards and still went all in - no wonder things got screwed up.)

[ulysses]

13. what was lost?

Humble pie my ass.

[Solomon]

17. Lost? Did you utter the word "Lost"?

LOL I get it. We CAN'T win. Is that right? With you there's nothing we can do except "lost".

You bucking for the best piece of the pie, ain't you?

[MadBadger]

19. 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42

[MadMaddie]

38. Noooo....not those dreaded numbers........

[ulysses]

20. no.

You don't get it and with me there's a lot we can do besides lose.

On the other hand, I'm not going to pretend that the sheer size of the bill is a cause for happy-happy-joy-joy either. And yeah, I like pie. Let me know when you learn to post images.

[NYC_SKP]

15. Should we goose-step? (with pie)

My faaaaa-vorite OP from yesterday. :eyes:

Anyway, have some pie:

[Solomon]

23. Ah, the required "should we goosestep" dodge.

You know, the republicans really have screwed us up with they way they have taught us to communicate.

You can step anyway you want but for the snark I'm nominating you as a candidate for the best humble pie.


:evilgrin:

[NYC_SKP]

27. Humbly accepted.

So was it the snark or the pie?

Eh, either way it puts a smiley on my face. :P

[Solomon]

48. That's a great Obama Pie!

:toast:

[NYC_SKP]

53. Razzleberries and blackberries!

Nomnomnom!

[dionysus]

59. why you lock-stepping, kool aid freebasing, messiah loving, cultist you...

:rofl:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

18. Well this insightful pile of shit deserves a speedy ignore.

Bye

:hi:

[Solomon]

28. Well, for what it's worth, I have never ever

used my ignore in all the years I've been on DU. Must count for something, not that you'll ever see this since you obviously make liberal use of yours.

Hello

:hi:

[AtomicKitten]

46. I love how some people think announcing they are putting you on ignore is punitive in some way. n/t

[AZBlue]

54. Want to hear something really funny?

That person's on my ignore list!

[rvablue]

55. I agree! n/t

[Number23]

56. I know, right!! That is the FUNNIEST sh*t on DU

Every single time I see someone type "I'm putting you on ignore!1!" or "plonk" I can't help but think, you might as well have typed "I am a huge nerd. A big crying, sensitive assed nerd and the purpose of Internet discussion boards has CLEARLY escaped me."

Luckily, I do think the vast majority of the people here realize how very, ahem... FRAGILE they look screaming "I'm putting you on ignore!" but there are a few who seem to have not gotten the memo. :)

[Occam Bandage]

61. It's the "well I won't come to your birthday party" of DU. nt

[Forkboy]

63. The best part about being ignored is you can make fun of that person and they can't see it.

So in that regard, I'm glad they announce it. :evilgrin:

[sniffa]

62. Counts for nothing actually

Just like my record-breaking ignore list counts for nothing save for a slower DU.

[jenmito]

21. Here's how to do it:

Find a pic of pie (google "image of pie" or something), right click on it, go to "properties" and click on it, then highlight the "location," then while it's highlighted (blue), right click on that and "copy." Then just right click in the message box here and paste it. The pic will come up.

[Solomon]

25. Thanks! I tried something like that but must have missed

a step. I'll try again when I get back.

[jenmito]

26. You're welcome!

:hi:

[Wednesdays]

24. Here it is...

[NYC_SKP]

29. That's irrational.

:rofl:

[Fire1]

31. Hah! Good one.

[Clio the Leo]

[Solomon]

49. Now That's What I'm Talking About!

Mmm! Ubmm!

That pie looks so good I could go for some myself. LOL That's the best humble pie I ever did see.

[eridani]

32. Not sure if it was good enough

Quite a bit of the most useful spending was slashed. (Or am I behind the times and the aid to states was put back in?)

[Lilith Velkor]

35. Krugman!

(WTF is erving pie?)

[boomerbust]

36. Dude

Let the Puma's rest. They had a rough day on here yesterday.

[AtomicKitten]

47. It's going to be a long eight years for some. n/t

[Solomon]

51. You know, i wasn't thinking of them at all.

If that's what they think, then I'm sorry. I didn't think all the naysayers here are PUMAs,not by a long shot. Anyway. There's enough pie for all.

[guruoo]

39. Sure. I got you pie...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYmoMY8qDNI

[Starry Messenger]

41. Great band.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKh2TBDu9L4&feature=related

Won't be so quiet if you listen to this.

[bvar22]

42. Your knowledge of Economics and Politics ...

...is rivaled only by your skill at posting graphics at DU.
:hippie:

[Danger Mouse]

43. I don't know if I'd go that far.

Unless they really fix the bill up before launch.

[GeorgeGist]

44. Tell me you don't think ...

that the profit takers are going to give up their piece of pie ... just because Obama promises to make the pie higher with money borrowed from them.

If so please think again.

[Solomon]

50. Three IN A ROW! Hot Diggity Dog

Trifecta! That's gotta be worth three slices.

[bread_and_roses]

57. the standard is pretty low if this victory is "great" (n/t)

[Solomon]

58. A win is a win is a win, baby.

They were hoping to use this occasion to shoot down his presidency for the next 4 years but it ain't gonna happen.

When's the last time you've seen every single democratic senator together on the same page? He's doing to them what they've always done to us: peel off enough of them to make your thing work.

DU should be jumping for joy but apparently DU is only happy when we got stuff to criticize.

Need I remind you all what he's done in the short span of three weeks in?

[Solomon]

60. one more kick

:kick:
