I ran King George's latest photo-op through my magic bullshit remover.

[Richard Steele]

Here's todays government-approved propaganda photo:

"President Bush takes the stage to address
the National Conference on Faith-Based and Community Initiatives
Thursday, March 9, 2006 in Washington.
The conference highlighted the benefit to corporations and foundations
of investing in faith-based and community organizations."

Meanwhile, back in the REALITY-BASED world,
The Magical Bullshit Remover™ reminds us that
many thousands of Americans have ALREADY
experienced B*sh's "compassion" first hand:


So just how much more of this sort of COMPASSION can one Nation survive?

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

8. Is that a Windows app or will it run on Mac?

There must be a bug...I don't see blood dripping from his outstretched hand.

Nice work.

[Richard Steele]

16. The app itself is wetware, but the interface is vintage Mac!

And thanks for mentioning Mac And Windows in the same sentence;
the resultant flamewar should boost this thread
by a hundred responses or so!

I owe you one! :evilgrin:

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

20. What's better, Photoshop or Illustrator?

There, that oughta set you up proper! :D

[jmowreader]

23. You mean you can get buy with just one?

I've ALWAYS used both. They do different things.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

25. Nah, both are good

But I've been able to self-teach myself Photoshop a lot more easily than Illustrator.

When I was just starting out and frustrated with both, I asked that innocent question in one of the groups here and inadvertently started a flamewar. Got my ass kicked for asking, too. Jeez!

[Richard Steele]

24. Tee Hee!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll just be over here....:hide:

[Richard Steele]

41. OK, I got AMBITIOUS, so it's gonna take longer than I thought.

But I have most of the gruntwork done for the SC design;
I expect it will be finished sometime tomorrow.

It will be better than the SD design in several ways.

[watrwefitinfor]

45. Thanks. Holding my breath here... (n/t)

[Richard Steele]

57. It's finally finished!

Started a thread for it HERE:

22. Yes, you certainly did.

And you deserve a big award for that. It's a one man Fairness Doctrine if you ask me.

[Richard Steele]

26. Holy Crap! 24 "Recs for Greatest"! My old record is SHATTERED!

I really don't know what to say, DUers...
It's a great feeling when people enjoy something
that you put your heart into, and I thank you all
for that.

I feel like shouting...
well, y'all know what I feel like shouting:

So what did I do so right this time?
These things usually get 10 responses or so when I do them,
but this one is a runaway hit!

You can tell me: It's the phrase "Magic Bullshit Remover™", isn't it?

[Richard Steele]

[Richard Steele]

34. High praise indeed, considering the source.

After seeing some of the work you have done,
I know perfectly well that you are VERY familiar with "awesome".
When I think back to the stupid crap I was doing when I was your age,
you start to seem kinda SCARY!

All you DUers who think my little PhotoShops are good
REALLY owe it to yourselves to check out Ava's work.
Here is a good place to start:

[Richard Steele]

31. Well, I do have my moments.

As a toothless hillbilly from Polecat Hollow
with a whole TEN years of public school education,
I sometimes like to think that I am doing fairly well
out here in the Big Wide WWWorld.

But then I remember that PRIDE is the mother of all sins,
so I go look at PornSites for an hour or two.

[FreedomAngel82]

32. You did a good job

And it's much more truthful. Good job!

[oasis]

33. It's a dandy.

[katinmn]

[Nothing Without Hope]

43. Just super! And let's not forget that Bush's March 7 executive order

has OFFICIALLY made "faith-based initiatives" part of the Department of Homeland Security, which is charged to "remove all obstacles." Read the text of the executive order and see for yourself just how far from the Constitution this latest - and IGNORED - executive order has taken the country:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x602831
thread title (3-8-06 GD): Army of God - Homeland Security to Help Spread Faith
New Bush Executive order: “Responsibilities of the Department of Homeland Security with Respect to Faith-Based and Community Initiatives” – link: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/03/20060307-5.html

This outrage is slipping by with basically no notice at all even from the progressive blogs.

Oh yeah, the Department of Homeland Security showed its COMPASSION to the Hurricane victims and survivors.

[ClayZ]

44. Wow, magic bulshit remover! Bravo!

What an invention!

53. calling all Freepers! your prezdint got a purty pitcher here

54. Curiosity: Are you lefthanded?

The direction of the coathanger makes me ask.

[Richard Steele]

55. Nope. That's just the way the hanger jpeg was when I found it.

You have a good eye for detail there!

[NYC]

56. Now I wonder if the person who made the hanger jpeg

was lefthanded.

I once walked into an apartment where I knew both occupants were righthanded, but the Christmas tree was covered with candy canes all hung by a lefthanded person, judging by the direction. They were amazed that I knew someone else had decorated their tree. When I pointed it out to them, they understood.

[Richard Steele]

64. I just looked at my latest design, where _I_ made the hanger jpeg....

And sure enough, I faced the hook the other way!

[Richard Steele]

60. Well, I guess I'll try to be happy with ONLY 64, lol!

I really need to figure out why everyone liked this
particular post so much, so I can do it again!

My old record was like 10 or 12; whatever it was,
it wasn't even high enough that I bothered to remember the number.

The response to this one has really blown me away!

[katty]

61. PERFECT for 2006 midterms

62. Magical Bullshit Remover™ -- I want me one of those!

Great job, dicksteele!
