| *** DUzy Awards for weeks ending December 5 & December 12, 2008 *** |
 Welcome to the natural-born non-Kenyan DUzy Awards, a compendium of star-spangled amusement from the past two weeks on DU. Congratulations to this week's winners!The DUzy Awards will be announced every Friday, if I get around to it. Previous awards can be found in my journal. Note to Mods: Skinner has authorized the DUzy Awards to be posted in GD. On a thread by SallyMander: Tips for finding cheap(er) tickets to Ireland? response #19 by leeroysphits: You could always try to win some White Star Lines tickets in a poker game. n/t OP by mw: Thank you, George Bush, for doing the right thing since Nov 4th That being: NOTHING. George Bush is doing the greatest service he possibly can to the US by DISAPPEARING and NOT TOUCHING ANYTHING. There's only one president at a time...and fortunately, we have Barack Obama now, after having NO president for almost 8 years. response #1 by Sebastian Doyle: Yeah, but what's Cheney doing? And does it have anything to do with recent events in India? response #4 by Xipe Totec: Dick is busy with paperwork He doesn't have a shred of free time left. response #10 by Shiver: He's keeping himself busy Not easy to move a portal to hell from Washington D.C. to Wyoming. There there's the packing of the torture implements, the priceless Nazi memorabilia, making sure all the bodies are buried deep enough (in case the Bidens get a dog too)... the list goes on. On a thread by underpants: Drug-smeared boobs knock out robbed men "UGANDA'S police warned male bar-goers to keep their noses clean after a probe found a gang of robbers had been using women with chloroform smeared on their chests to knock their victims unconscious. 'They apply this chemical to their chest. We have found victims in an unconscious state,' Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) spokesman Fred Enanga said. "You find the person stripped totally naked and everything is taken from him," he said. Mr Enanga, who explained that several types of heavy sedatives had been used, said he first came across the practice last year when an apprehended thief named Juliana Mukasa made a clean breast of the matter. She is a very dangerous lady,' he said..." response #3 by OmmmSweetOmmm: It was a booby trap! :rofl: response #5 by peekaloo: hee-heeeeee. knockered out. :rofl: response #6 by Bucky: Are the crooks at large still or have the cops finally got a bust in this case? response #17 by Shiver: Can't be too long, if they aren't already... I mean, with a method like this, the charges must continue to rack up. GD, November 29, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4554975 On a thread by warrior1: Google Earth Greenland There's something going on.

On a thread by AJH032: Obama to nominate Hillary for Secretary of State on Monday response #3 by rug: GDP to institute stop-loss progran for moderators on Monday. OP by proud2Blib: Great bailout joke Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died. Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.' Chuck said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him?' Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said, 'You can't raffle off a dead donkey!' Chuck said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.' A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?' Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998.' The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.' Chuck now works for Goldman Sachs. response #1 by TahitiNut: Chuck better hire an accountant. His profit is $898, not $998. :silly: :dunce: Yes, Virginia, once an auditor always an auditor. It's a curse. :rofl: response #8 by bvar22: No, He wrote off the first hundred as a Business Expense, and then claimed it as a a Capital Loss. Then he asked Congress for a Bailout and made another Thousand. After that, he went looking for Dead Donkeys. response #3 by Skink: The second guy then repackaged the donkey into derivatives. On a thread by Are_grits_groceries: Savior Causes Collision- Jesus' will because the other motorist was not “driving like a Christian.” "A speeding pickup rear-ended a woman's sedan on the South Side on Friday morning and sheriff's officials say the driver said it was Jesus' will because the other motorist was not 'driving like a Christian.' The bizarre incident that shut down southbound U.S. 281 above the Medina River happened about 7:25 a.m. 'He just said God said she wasn't driving right, and she needed to be taken off the road,' said Lt. Kyle Coleman of the Bexar County Sheriff's Office..." response #5 by quantessd: I wonder if God will pay his fines and increased insurance, too? response #10 by ColbertWatcher: I believe God's will dictates that we pick up the tab. n/t response #7 by IanDB1: "God is my Co-Pilot and He Wants Me To Punish You." n/t response #9 by KansDem: "Who Would Jesus Rear-End?" Just how do Christians drive? response #14 by JVS: When your driving is so awful that you rationalize it as a manifestation of God's wrath... maybe it's time to buy a bus pass. response #15 by Are_grits_groceries: I hope the judge has a "Come to Jesus" hearing for him! response #18 by ColbertWatcher: From the officer giving the citation: "Where's the rapture, buddy?" n/t response #31 by eppur_se_muova: Idiot -- you're supposed to wait for the lightning bolt. God's got this covered, OK? response #51 by dixiegrrrrl: "objects in your rear view mirrow look crazier than you think" response #52 by lame54: They should give GOD a Breathalyzer Poll question by Buzz Clik: Is it really necessary to voice your opinion about everything? Just asking. response #1 by TahitiNut: Wouldn't you like to know? :dunce: response #4 by dkf: Is that humanly possible? response #20 by lumberjack_jeff: Give me ambiguity, or give me something else. n/t response #23 by Bluzmann57: Yeah My opinion of this post is that it is ridiculous. My opinion of the answer to this post is that it is ridiculous. And it's snowing outside. That stinks. Of course, that's just one man's opinion. response #24 by slay: I don't know. Maybe. The ultimate answers to every question. Really you say? Maybe. Where did I get this info? I don't know. Am I sure? Maybe. So I can avoid giving my opinion about whether or not abortion should be legal? I don't know - maybe. Now if we could only get others to use these responces instead of chiming in with dopey opinions all the time the world would be a better place right? I don't know. Maybe. :evilgrin: response #27 by dwickham: yes jeesh! response #28 by Buns_of_Fire: I voted "Robb is a dingbat." But only because you left out "I like to vote." :-) response #37 by stlsaxman: No. Just my opinion, and that's a fact! GD, November 30, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4561718 OP by Breeze54: Fuck all of you... I'll celebrate Xmas, T-Day, LIFE, LOVE, My Friends AND IF you don't like it?!! Then do you know what to do?? :shrug: BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! response #1 by Forkboy: Now there's some Christmas spirit even I can appreciate! ;) response #11 by Tom Kitten: What's with this "Xmas" bullshit? Put the goddamm Christ word back where it belongs, as in "Christmas", not "Xmas", and then maybe I'll ponder your point seriously instead of just farting in your general direction you big bag of gas!...and oh by the way Merry "Christmas" asshole! This guy (me, pointing towards myself) happens to believe in Peace on Earth and Good Will towards All, so fuck you! P.S. Happy Fucking New Year! Maybe we can get together and clean up our garbage strewn society sometime? (With an inspiring graphic by Thomas Kincade, the Painter of Light!) response #12 by unapatriciated: Go ahead but I'm returning your gifts response #25 by iwillalwayswonderwhy: Ahem...is this thing on? Holidays are here, The folks are all happy, The music is playing, and it's all sweet and sappy, I wish you season's greetings, Best wishes, peace and luck, and if you do not like it, you can take a flying fuck. The end. response #36 by Bluebear: You should write for Hallmark! :hi: response #38 by flvegan: "Xmas"? "Seasons Greetings"? Fucking pagan heathen. War on Christmas much? On a thread by CatWoman: Henry Kissinger gives me the creeps response #19 by mitchum: I do a great Kissinger impersonation that involves a pair of glasses and my penis On a thread by Robbien: Nestle water ads misleading "Canadian environmental groups have filed a misleading advertising complaint against Nestle disputing claims in an ad by the world's largest food company that its bottled water has numerous ecological benefits. A group comprising Friends of the Earth Canada, the Polaris Institute, the Council of Canadians, Wellington Water Watchers and Ecojustice said Nestle Waters Canada contravened the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards 'by making false and misleading statements regarding the environmental impacts of its product' in full-page newspaper ad in October. 'They can spin the bottle all they want, but the truth is there is no green solution to bottled water,' said Joe Cressy, Campaigns Coordinator, for the Polaris Institute, in Ottawa..." response #11 by happy5: I have a Berkey filter the stainless steel model. The filter system is expensive, about $250-300, but it can pretty much filter anything up to radioactive urine. http://www.berkeyfilters.com/ And I also use the plastic water bottles for months at a time, with 8-9 in my fridge. response #14 by awoke_in_2003: Never had radioctive urine... though some of the stuff that has come out my other end is questionable :) Poll question by skygazer: Is there a more obnoxious and childish-sounding epithet than "hater?" :bluebox: No :bluebox: Hell, no response #1 by PeaceNikki: Poopyhead response #2 by Rabrrrrrr: Ooh, the old "I hate the term hater" meme. :rofl: response #8 by Midlodemocrat: I hate the word meme, hater. :rofl: response #7 by JVS: Don't be a hater hater hater response #10 by Oeditpus Rex: Hater, Hater, bo Bater... response #12 by hunter: The potty-mouthed haters are the worst... ...real dickheads. The Lounge, December 1, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8285722 Poll question by Amerigo Vespucci: Your FAVORITE menu item at the George W. Bush Presidential LIE-berry cafeteria-slash-gift shop :bluebox: Shit sandwich. Two slices of bread with eight years of shit sandwiched in between. :bluebox: My Pet Goat's Head Soup :bluebox: Twin Towers Got My Bullhorn Standin' On The Rubble Dubble Cheeseburger with Freedom Fries :bluebox: LIE-berry pie a la mode :bluebox: DECIDER apple cider :bluebox: Poppy Bush poppy seed muffins :bluebox: Barbara Bush Beautiful Mind Deep-Fried Batter-Dipped Brain Sanwich on a bun :bluebox: Jenna Bush Munchie Deluxe: 48 Taco Bell Taco Supremes with a full bag of Oreos chaser :bluebox: Jeb Bush Big Swollen Head-cheese sammich :bluebox: OTHER response #1 by TheGoldenRule: You forgot the booze to wash it down with. :puke: response #2 by Amerigo Vespucci: "The long-neck, what the heck, I'm OUTTA HERE" burger 'n' brewski special... ...just for you, my friend. :toast: :rofl: response #3 by Ilsa: You also forgot W's special "salt"; you know, those tiny packages of very refined white powdery stuff. response #6 by LiberalEsto: What, no pretzels? I'm all choked up. response #7 by Inkyfuzzbottom: You left out my favorite... Beer Battered Mission Accomplished Codpiece Cod...fries optional. GD, December 1, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4568689 OP by Kurt_and_Hunter: Hillary fell for it! Obama is a genius constitutional lawyer! he got Hillary to resign from the Senate knowing full well the Constitution prevents her from being Secretary of State. Blinded by power-madness, the 'monster' walked right into the trap. Next week Hillary will be withdrawn and Richardson will move from Commerce to State, which was the plan all along!!! And Hillary will be nothing more than a sad old lady out of a job. No Senate seat. No SoS. And now Barack has the list of Bill CLinton's donors so he came blackmail both Clintons into retiring from public life altogether. Game. Set. Match. _________________ Offered to save some wear and tear on the brains of folks trying to come up with this week's annoying paranoid Clinton fantasy. response #8 by Gman: Put down the crack pipe and step away from the computer put your hands where we can see them. We're here to help you... response #17 by H2O Man: The White House Weatherman strikes again! response #18 by Alter Ego: Hillary Clinton is composed entirely of uranium 235. Hillary Clinton's eyes shoot mind-control beams that subjugate her targets and forces them to appoint her to positions of power. Hillary Clinton's arms are prosthetics that hide her large, Kraken-sized tentacles. When Hillary Clinton goes to give blood, she declines the needle and instead just requests a handgun and a bucket. response #53 by truedelphi: Remind me not to drop by your house if I should ever be in the neighborhood. Not that I would mind your company, but should one of the glasses in front of me seem slightly different than the other -- And heavens help me if you are serving almond cookies along with the drinks... On a thread by ccharles000: Why in the world is Ludacris campaigning for Jim Martin. response #4 by malaise: Why not Princess Ludicrous is campaigning for Chambliss. :rofl: On a thread by redstate_democrat: Steve Schmidt: Bobby Jindal will be President response #31 by socialdemocrat1981: Steve Schmidt? You mean the guy who made McCain President? Oh wait a minute.... response #51 by TexasObserver: EXORCISM IV - the Jindal Factor I can hardly wait for that film to come out. Sequels usually suck, but this should be good. response #62 by tomg: Jindal and Palin in 2012. What a show. One can perform exorcisms while the other talks in tongues. Maybe Jindal can exorcise any witches hanging out around Palin. Then, since one is conservative ( as in 11th century) Catholic and the other makes your standard Fundie look like a Unitarian, Jindal can accuse Palin of heresy while Palin gives a speech about Rome as the Whore of Babylon. (in fact and in fairness, Jindal never performed an exorcism - that has to be done by an official exorcist - but he was present at a sort of do-it-yourself exorcism while in college for a woman he knew). On a thread by maddowfan: You Guys Do Realize That Clinton Is The Most Respected/Adored Figure In The World, Right? response #78 by robertpaulsen: You must be drinking Kool-Aid, Jim Jones is the most respected person in Obama's cabinet. Just kidding. I just wanted to put the words "Jim Jones" and "Kool-Aid" in the same sentence. response #160 by MilesColtrane: Most adored? Not until her image begins appearing on tortillas and toast. On a thread by hedgehog: Am I the only one uncomfortable with our SOS playing a command performance for the Queen of England? response #12 by jobycom: Nah, I'd rather her tinkling in front of the queen than dumping on the rest of the world. Poll question by Richardo: Phrases that make you instantly stop reading a post: :bluebox: "Truth to power" :bluebox: "Folks" :bluebox: "Fascist" :bluebox: "Hugh" :bluebox: "Wait for it" :bluebox: "Author: Richardo" :bluebox: Other (name it!) :bluebox: On edit: "Recommend this post if you agree with me" response #3 by Symarip: star star star CAPS CAPS CAPS star star star I think we're all guilty of it but it really is annoying when half of the threads in GD or GD P look like that. response #16 by kingofalldems: Blah blah blah blah----Here's why response #17 by jakefrep: Other - Ralph Nader. response #19 by Aristus: "Teh kitteh". I'm done right there, man... response #47 by Ptah: Teh anything. response #57 by Peake: (Poll) response #84 by underpants: "Hitler" + "Dry humping" The Lounge, December 2, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8289129 On a thread by RamboLiberal: Wounded deer attacks hunter who shot him "A Sedalia hunter bagged a big buck on the second day of firearms season, but the kill caused him a lot of pain. Forty-nine-year-old Randy Goodman said he thought two well-placed shots with his .270-caliber rifle had killed the buck on Nov. 19. Goodman said the deer looked dead to him, but seconds later the nine-point, 240-pound animal came to life. The buck rose up, knocked Goodman down and attacked him with his antlers in what the veteran hunter called '15 seconds of hell.' The deer ran a short distance and went down, and died after Goodman fired two more shots. Soon Goodman started feeling dizzy and noticed his vest was soaked in blood. So he reached his truck and drove to a hospital, where he received seven staples in his scalp and was treated for a slight concussion and bruises..." response #21 by scheming daemons: That makes the score this hunting season: Hunters 3,456,123.... Deer 1 It's getting closer. ;-) response #36 by PurityOfEssence: Bambo: Second Blood Too bad it didn't get away. Poll question by XemaSab: YOU MUST CHOOSE: Bush or Nixon? If you had to pick either George W. Bush or Richard Nixon for the next president, which would you choose? :shrug: :bluebox: Bush :bluebox: Nixon response #1 by d_b: Suicide. response #2 by DS1: Nixon. He's dead. Biden wins. Game, set, match. :P response #16 by dixiegrrrrl: Nixon..here's why 1. as mentioned upthread, he is dead. (do we have a dancing on the grave smilie? something tells me it is going to be in demand) 2. He had a brain. He could read. He liked to read. 3. He actually could rein in someone like Kissinger. 4. He really did give a damn about the war protesters, his image vis-a-vis Viet Nam. 5. He could articulate a thought. 6. He was capable of serious retrospection. 7. His lushdom came at the end, not the beginning of his presidency. No one could call him a feeble-brained sot. 8. He is dead. (just wanted to enjoy the emphasis). response #19 by rateyes: Well, well, well, that is the first and last time I ever voted for Nixon. response #26 by michele77: I didn't vote... I'm a Latin Americanist...so I can't pick Nixon even though Bush sucks the left nut of a burro. There, I said it. GD, December 2, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4575519 OP by a kennedy: Best idea I've heard in a while.... Members of Congress should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers, so we can identify their corporate sponsors. response #34 by awoke_in_2003: It is sad... 540 elected members of congress give the rest a bad name :) response #21 by Ezlivin: They're already good at going in circles for hours OP by Bucky: I didn't ask you if you *wanted* a blessed day, I merely wished that you would have one! Geeze Louise, I didn't know wishing you well would stick a bug up your butt. It's just a figure of speech, slightly less stale than the cliche "Have a nice day," but slightly less banal than "See ya." If offering good tidings to you, the most basic form of human communication, is that offensive, allow me to suggest relocating to a hermitage of some sort, a retreat where you'll never be offended by the insufferable salutations of your fellow humans beings. response #4 by Truth Hurts A Lot: What should someone say when someone else sneezes? Damn you! response #8 by Mz Pip: How about "Cover your mouth, you asshole!!!" That should work... response #10 by Orrex: Doesn't bother this atheist, except... I was a little put off when coworkers, fully aware of my non-belief, insisted on telling me how God had blessed my wife and me with the birth of our healthy children, and stuff like that. I respect that their views include some sort of fellow named God; I'd like them to extend me the same respect and recognize that I do not share their belief. I mean, when Joan announced that she was pregnant, I didn't say "Congratulations on a successful conception subsequent to fornication in this rudderless universe of ours." I said "Congratulations" and left it at that, respecting that her views differ from mine. Incidentally, when someone tells me "God bless you" after a sneeze or whatever, I usually reply "every little bit helps." response #15 by Shiver: Funny... That's EXACTLY what I said when my cousin was pregnant... She replied with, "The odds of conception were favourable based upon my current rate of fornication in conjunction with the timing of my menstrual cycle." :shrug: response #45 by foxfeet: And are you both Coneheads? :P response #17 by zbdent: Hey, I'm sorry for snapping ... I had a bad day, horrendous PMS and I'M A GUY!!! On a thread by DeSwiss: Driving Under The Influence Of Christianity "A speeding pickup rear-ended a woman's sedan on the South Side on Friday morning and sheriff's officials say the driver said it was Jesus' will because the other motorist was not 'driving like a Christian.' The bizarre incident that shut down southbound U.S. 281 above the Medina River happened about 7:25 a.m. 'He just said God said she wasn't driving right, and she needed to be taken off the road,' said Lt. Kyle Coleman of the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. The driver of the pickup was identified in a Sheriff's Office news release as Michael E. Schwab, 52, of Blooming Grove. Schwab told first responders at the scene that 'the other vehicle was not driving like a Christian and it was Jesus' will for him to punish the car,” according to the release. The 35-year-old woman was driving her sedan north when the pickup struck her vehicle. Schwab told deputies he was driving faster than 100 mph at the time, Coleman said. The impact caused both vehicles to spin across a median before they came to a stop along a barrier in the southbound lanes. No other vehicles were involved. Though both vehicles were badly damaged, the drivers suffered minor injuries..." response #4 by Bozita: At 100+ mph, it didn't take him long to receive and interpret his message from God Must've been a text message. response #9 by moggie: Ramming at 100mph = driving like a Christian? Is that what they mean by "God speed"? Personally, I'd like to know whether the un-Christian car had any bumper stickers which offended this warrior of God. On a thread by Low Notes: Sarah Palin a Superstar? What?? response #4 by Feeney2: Wake me up when she says something with substance. response #9 by 11 Bravo: Rip van Winkle, is that you? GDP, December 3, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7949323 OP by dixiegrrrrl: Did you know there is a Henchmen's Union? I am watching Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (funny stuff) http://www.drhorrible.com/mushortio.html wherein is mentioned a Henchmen's Union. Kinda makes ya wonder... qualifications? standards of conduct? dues? (payable in what form, etc). things that make ya go ...........hmmmmmm response #1 by skygazer: Are minions allowed in that union? Or do they have to form their own? response #2 by dixiegrrrrl: depends on the skulk factor, I think. response #4 by SidneyCarton: I think "minion" is henchmen speak for "scab" So no, non-union. On a thread by Cattledog: Dog saves another dog hit on freeway. response #7 by Ezlivin: Rusty's in the club! response #67 by judasdisney: Dog is MY co-pilot On a thread by HEyHEY: The Jehovah's witnesses were just around....why the fuck were they driving a hummer? response #1 by slackmaster: It's probably a lot easier then pushing the sonofabitch :shrug: response #7 by pipi_k: Was it steel plated too? My best guess would be that they got tired of being shot at all the time and wanted something that would allow them a faster, safer getaway. Plus with a Hummer, they can invade all the more rural sections they couldn't get to before...at least not in the winter On a thread by pokerfan: Teddy bear toss in Calgary a few nights ago Total count: 22,871 bears: http://www.youtube.com/v/qm0M2kGpN1s A Teddy bear toss is a popular Christmas season promotion at many minor and junior hockey arenas throughout North America. Fans are encouraged to bring teddy bears to the game, and to throw them onto the ice when the home team scores its first goal. The toys are then gathered up to be donated as Christmas presents to hospitals and charities. In many cases, the players themselves personally donate some of the bears to children at area hospitals. (wiki) response #1 by hughee99: With god as my witness, I thought Teddy Bears could fly :) On a thread by the late Popol Vuh: WTF? Good Grief! "Council members caved in to demands from an angry crowd and delayed approving a neatness ordinance until officials explain every word of the 26-page document to Kenneth City residents. In what was estimated to be the largest crowd to ever attend a Kenneth City Council meeting, an outraged group of residents railed at the proposal that would regulate the upkeep of both the exterior and interior of all property in the town. The proposal basically sets standards for upkeep and appearance and gives town officials the right to enter homes. If the owner refuses to allow the official to enter, the town can go to a judge for an 'administrative search warrant' to allow access to the interior of buildings. Violations would cost up to $250 a day..." response #1 by Liberal_Lurker: Oh, Florida. You'd be adorable if you weren't absolutely horrifying. response #10 by GrpCaptMandrake: Do these authoritarian idiots even KNOW where they are? It's Florida, doofi! A state that lets you shoot people if you're even the slightest bit "threatened." This should be fun to watch. "Chenille? You've got CHENILLE curtains? Oh, I'm gonna hafta write you up!" BANG! response #51 by SoCalDem: I'd end up with Life in the Big House :rofl: OP by Believing_Is_Art: Definition of a Natural-Born Citizen As I understand it, the Donofrio argument before the SCOTUS today is that despite being born on American soil, Obama is actually a UK citizen since his father was Kenyan and subject to UK jurisdiction. Even if we concede that the Fourteenth Amendment makes it clear that Obama is a citizen, it does not say that he is "natural-born" citizen. The Constitution is actually quite vague on what defines a "natural-born" citizen. I would like to submit the following for consideration. A natural-born citizen is a person who meets the following criteria: 1. Was born on US soil 2. Was born to US citizens 3. Was conceived in the missionary position on US soil 4. Subject's parents possessed a valid marriage certificate at the time of conception 5. Has not resided outside the US for a duration exceeding one month, excepting in the service of the military If any of the above criteria are not met, a person may attain natural-born citizenship status if he/she meets the following: 1. Believes that marriage is between a man and a woman 2. Has attained an arsenal of at least 50 firearms, 10% of which must be automatic or semi-automatic 3. Does not support Roe v. Wade 4. Is a deacon at his/her church I think this should clear up any future question of a candidate's eligibility. On a thread by LiberalEsto: Palin's 'traveling makeup artist' paid $32,000 a month "Yesterday, a National Journal report put Palin's total 'accessory' and clothing tab at $180,000. Today a report put her total styling bill for hair and makeup at a whopping $110,000. It gets better -- Palin's 'traveling makeup artist' was paid roughly $32,000 a month for the final two months of the campaign. Palin’s 'traveling makeup artist' raked in $68,400 and her hair stylist netted more than $42,000 -- for roughly two months of work. To put that in perspective, makeup for Palin alone would have cost $410,400 if spread out over an entire year, and her hair -- $252,000..." response #5 by islandmkl: you gotta admit... you could not even see one trace of the reptile, could you? response #10 by kingofalldems: Shouldn't it be --"travelin' makeup artist"? response #13 by CitizenPatriot: Oh, I never asked for anythin but maybe a Diet Dr Pepper occasionally! these guys...these anonymous...JERKS are come out and say it to my face, there....Those clothes being reported are not mine. They belong to the RNC there, also, just like the lights and the stage. (scolding tone borders on shrill, but the big hair softens the school marm thing) Shame on them, there for that would be by many gotcha reportin'. Nobody's comin up to check on the clothes, there also, we gave those what we had, not too many of them, we spent the weekend the family Trig and Piper helped during half time, there, on the floor, sortin through those clothes that had been lent to me from the belly of that plane, there, but not in my closet. NOT in my closet, those are my clothes, here that I have on (fingers jacket). Come on, now (pouty face) ...why the mean things? It's seemin sexist there, talkin about my clothes there...I had no control over what I wore, they gave me they told me to ...I was never asked... just a few things, there, to for the RNC, for gosh sake's...go shopping, also, never asked for a darn thing there. There again, I never went shopping also, the clothes were brought to me by the campaign as part of a strategy there, but also, I asked I wanted there too, to just go on out there to the American people and also...talk directly without the filter, there, also, of the gotcha media. (bends down to stir prop moose stew while ignoring pleas of smallest girl child for attention. big smile now) Also, we're just focused here on ALasKA, havin' fun on our snow machines there, again as I said and also, too, gettin the budget worked out and thinkin about cuttin wasteful spendin there, also, for the American people in this great continent of ours, founded by the Pledge of Allegiance there in the 1800's with our Christian fathers.

If my hair cost that, I'd shave my head response #24 by Mabus: And I would have shaved it for you for a mere $250. Savings all around. :evilgrin: response #28 by struggle4progress: I had no idea I could be smooth and shiny for only $250/day. That's only $7500/month. What a bargain! I'll keep your offer in mind! response #32 by Mabus: Heavens no. My total cost would be $250. That would have been $250 for the initial shave. After that, to keep costs down, you'd have to do the upkeep yourself. Otherwise, if the RNC wanted to pick up daily maintenance costs, I would have soaked them and shared the ill-gotten booty with you. response #34 by struggle4progress: And the shine? Is it wax or polyurethane? response #35 by Mabus: Whatever your little heart desires For $250 I'm sure I could fit it into the budget. response #22 by ksimons: I would have done it for fweee!!!

OP by davidswanson: Unlimited Pardon Power and Five Other Impossible Things Before Breakfast Alice squinted as she peered up through the rabbit hole at sunlight wondering how many books she might have to stand on to be able to climb back out. She hadn't even begun to make up her mind when she was completely distracted by a large elephant on a motor scooter who grabbed her with his trunk and stuck her on the back seat as he sped off down a dark gravel path. The strange thing about the motor scooter was that it was a rental, and the elephant explained that he had rented it in a deal involving "unlimited mileage." That was written down very legally in a signed contract, so naturally the elephant had decided to drive backwards in time in order to put on as many miles as possible before next Tuesday. This meant both that Alice was getting younger every mile they progressed and that the tires had long since worn off, and the scooter was riding on bare wheels now. Alice was unable to say anything back to the elephant as they rode and he chatted, but before long he stopped in front of an All-You-Can-Eat buffet restaurant, and they both got out. Alice didn't know how they'd gotten there, since her kidnapping by the elephant would be happening in the future, but she knew that she was hungry. Alice intended to take full advantage of the all-you-can-eat arrangement. She filled up three plates with food before she was full, but the elephant out-did her. He ate most of the available food without bothering about a plate, and then ate the stack of plates too, before starting on the chairs and tables. Tragically, the elephant also ate the cooks and waiters, so the food stopped coming. After that, the elephant was arrested and put on trial, but acquitted of cannibalism on the grounds that the restaurant had said "All You Can Eat" in three-foot letters. Alice didn't stick around for the trial, but bought an unlimited travel ticket with which she rode around on busses for the next four years until she was back to her previous age. When Alice emerged from the rabbit hole, she found that her family and all of the townspeople she'd known had been slaughtered by White House staffers following the instructions of the president. The murderers didn't face a trial as the elephant had, because the president simply pardoned them before anyone even had a chance to suggest it. "But wait," said Alice, "how can he pardon people for crimes he told them to commit? Once he's done that, there are no more crimes and no more laws. So there must, then, be no more pardons." Alice was overheard making this exclamation by a creature stranger than any she'd ever before encountered, a creature called a lawyer. The lawyer explained that the president's pardon power was unlimited. The lawyer knew this to be so because no court had ever limited the president's pardon power. Alice asked the lawyer his name five times before understanding that it was John Yoo, and that he wasn't insisting on knowing her name first. Yoo told Alice that she had much to be thankful for. "First of all," said Yoo, "we killed everyone while you were away. Second of all, we've united the land, or what's left of it -- all the lawyers agree about unlimited pardon powers. And third of all, you should be very pleased that you have no testicles." This last remark confused Alice, but the chainsaw didn't. She turned and ran as fast as she could, and out of the corner of her eye she caught an image of George W. Bush in a priest's robes chasing after her and Yoo and shouting: "I'm gonna pardon you, Yoo! I'm gonna pardon you, Yoo, but you have to let me watch her suffer!"

On a thread by DeSwiss: Cops Get Stung In Reverse Drug Bust!!! Boo-Ya!!! "KopBusters rented a house in Odessa, Texas and began growing two small Christmas trees under a grow light similar to those used for growing marijuana. When faced with a suspected marijuana grow, the police usually use illegal FLIR cameras and/or lie on the search warrant affidavit claiming they have probable cause to raid the house. Instead of conducting a proper investigation which usually leads to no probable cause, the Kops lie on the affidavit claiming a confidential informant saw the plants and/or the police could smell marijuana coming from the suspected house. The trap was set and less than 24 hours later, the Odessa narcotics unit raided the house only to find KopBuster’s attorney waiting under a system of complex gadgetry and spy cameras that streamed online to the KopBuster’s secret mobile office nearby..." response #1 by ribofunk: The Beauty of It Is They didn't have to say a word.

While pondering my response to this poll, my mind wandered to the five classical stages of grief. This, in turn, got me thinking: 'How would Freepers, not known for following logical thought processes, deal with grief?' Before I even realized it, possibly due to lack of sleep, I had this typed up... :crazy: ***** The Five Stages of Freeper Grief(adjusted specifically for use on January 20th, 2009) Stage One: Whimpering. Wailing like an infant as President Obama takes the oath of office, arms wrapped around their legs and rocking back and forth. They'd rest their weepy eyes in Momma's bosom, but she's all the way upstairs, and the Cheetos are down here... Stage Two: Laundry. Having been seized by a moment of utter terror at the thought of the socialist, muslin turn the country will soon take, the Freeper will have shat themselves repeatedly, staining their pure white sheets. They must be cleaned now, and... hey, if you fold the cloth like this, cut some eyeholes... Stage Three: Huffing. The fumes from the laundry detergent smell soooo gooood. Freepers will hallucinate that they have returned to the Eighties, when Reagan was President, teh gays stayed hidden, the hippies had cut their hair and gotten jobs, and we were winning against the Commies! All was right with the world, and that pink unicorn with an enticing dildo horn doesn't mean anything... Stage Four: Palin. Once Stage Three passes, the minds of the Freepers will suddenly shift to their new savior, Sarah Palin. They will remind themselves how wonderful and brilliant she is, and that 'Obummer' will stand no chance against her in 2012 - clean sweep for sure! 538 total electoral votes! Ninety percent of the popular vote! Reagan will rise from the dead to serve in her Cabinet! Mom will stop saying that 38 is 'not too old' to finally start dating! Stage Five: Retreat. Despite the pleasant thoughts of Sarah Palin, the feeble-minded will still feel despair at having to wait so long. Freepers will thus, for the next four years at the very least, retreat to their secret 'Real America', located in the bomb shelter (read: pillow fort) they've set up in mom's basement. Don't let them know you know, but the password is 'I brought cupcakes'. If they answer 'with sprinkles?', then be warned - they have no pants and a Sarah Palin cardboard cutout is in there with them. ***** Of course, not all Freepers are the same... some of you may have other idea on the stages of Freeper grief. Please share if you do! :rofl: :yoiks: :rofl: response #4 by DS1: Hopeful Stage 6: Accidental discharge while giving gun blowjob response #18 by BlueIris: Stage 1: Insular denial ("He didn't win 'cause he wasn't eligible to run in the first place!"). Or whatever you would call denial that denies not only reality but psuedo-reality. Stage 2: Reactive amnesia. ("What election? Bush is king for life!") Stage 3: Implosion. (Milwaukee's Beast. Muteness. Sobbing.) Stage 4: Acting out. (Compulsive masturbation. Strip clubs. Same-sex affairs.) Stage 5: Groveling. ("Maybe if I threaten to withhold my taxes or move to Canada, Obama will see the light and start kissing my ass!") Stage 6: Seething resentment. (Freeper coworkers will notice the refusal to share space in the cafeteria or the board room, and the cheap shots at people with Obama bumper stickers in the parking lot.) Stage 7: Libertarianism. It's the new Fascist. response #32 by Shiver: Optional Stage Six: "Independence" After several months inside the "bomb shelter", the Freeper's rank odor will finally drive their parents nuts, and they will throw him out of the house. For the first time in their life, the Freeper is independent, and they come to an "epiphany" (possibly brought on by a vision of Jesus in their baked beans). Their beloved party has failed, and now exposed to ideas from the "outside world", decide to declare themselves "Independents". They will continue to spew the same hateful drivel and vote for the same morans, but whenever called on it, they can claim "I'm not a Republican, I'm an INDEPENDENT!" They might also, if they reach this stage, discover that women rarely find watching Hannity during sex to be a mood-enhancer.

OP by 20score: Introducing The New ‘Golden Glute’ Awards. Each week I plan on awarding The Golden Glute to someone who has been a true ass. The day of the week will most likely vary at first due to my work schedule. If this award goes over well, I will continue it. It will start with the winner’s name and what that person did to deserve the honor. Then there will most likely be a satirical piece devoted to the winner for that week. The first Golden Glute goes to Larry Elder. My personal opinion is that Larry Elder is a sociopath given that he lies with such ease about such important issues. If a person is ill informed or not thinking through the arguments, his diatribes could seem true. One of his favorite tactics is to quote studies and statistics out of context, as he does when he says the 9/11 Commission Report confirms Bush didn’t lie about WMD’s in Iraq. Today, for the second day in a row, Elder tied President-Elect Obama to Governor Blagojevich and Chicago corruption. He does this knowing full well that Barack Obama has zero connection to any improper or illegal actions committed by Blagojevich. So to you Larry Elder, congatulations on being this weeks most astounding ass. Larry Elder Haunted By Gandhi’s Ghost At Debate With Stephanie Miller Los Angeles – At a debate between the liberal and hilarious talk show host, Stephanie Miller, and the ultra-right wing Larry Elder, sponsored by UCLA, a few unexpected events happened. Stephanie Miller had just pointed out that Larry Elder had lied again about the Iraq War and WMD’s. Using his standard line about how The 9/11 Commission had proved Bush didn’t lie about the weapons, Ms. Miller pointed out the 9/11 Report was about - 9/11. “Look, your listeners will believe anything – for Christ’s sake, you’ve got them believing Bush is brilliant – but, we’re not your listeners,” said Ms Miller to a round of applause. “Well, he saved us from an attack for seven years,” Larry stammered. “What have you got to say to that? Huh?” “Well then, by your logic, so did Polk, Buchanan and Pierce and Johnson,” Stephanie said. “Plus if you’re going to take credit, then you also have to accept blame. Didn’t hear much of that from your fearless leader, or you.” But the fireworks were saved for the portion of the debate concerning the economy. “The invisible hand of the market - the invisible hand of the market,” Elder yelled. “Minimum wage hurts the economy! Taxing the rich is immoral” “Okay, that’s it!” yelled a man dressed in eighteenth century garments, strolling up to the front. “Enough! I’m Adam Smith and I’ve had enough of you and people like you using my name to steal from the poor. You scallywag – a pox on you and your ilk! My philosophy is not interchangeable with Machiavelli’s.” “And you know, Mr. Elder,” said an apparition dressed in a humble robe. “I’m Mohandas Gandhi and in life it was almost impossible to get me to lose my temper, or do anything undignified - but I never met you. Not only are you responsible for so much of the mess created - the war, the economy, people without insurance – but you are now blaming those who tried to stop this from happening. You sir, are a dick!” “Yes, yes he is,” said Will Rogers from the back row. At that, Larry Elder was silent in public for the first time. (The satire is a repost from something I wrote in October.)

OP by 20score: Senator Corker: “We Don’t Hate Poor People, We Want Lots More Of Them” “Sure we hate unions and everything they stand for,” said Senator Mitch McConnell. “The higher wages, better benefits… and don’t even get me started on pensions. But it’s not just about that, you know.” “He’s right, but we’re being misrepresented in the media,” drawled Saxby Chambliss. “They’re asking us unfair questions like ‘how could you give trillions to the financial institutions and refuse to pay less than five-thousand dollars a piece to save three million jobs?’ Well, it’s takin’ the whole thing outta context!” The Republican Senators had called a hasty press conference after stalling the auto manufacturer's loan. Mitch McConnell had gathered those Senators who felt they were being attacked and maligned in the “liberal media.” Orin Hatch and Jon Kyl were in the process of fighting for time at the podium. “Okay, it may not LOOK good to give all the money we have to the banks,” said Jon Kyl. “And it may look like we’re traitorous, greedy bastards willing to sell the country down the river for ideology in a race to the bottom – hey!” Kyl said when Tom Coburn elbowed him to quiet down. “Well… anyway.” He finished. “The point Senator Kyl was trying to make,” picked up Senator Corker. “Is that we don’t just ‘hate’ the unions, we hate the middle class! Now I hope you guys can back us on that? I mean they’re always begging, ‘Give us a wage we can live on.’ ‘One person getting sick shouldn’t make a whole family homeless.’ ‘We voted you in to represent us.’ Well, I think I speak for all of us here when I say - we’ve had enough! That’s why we’ve decided to not just represent the very rich by giving them everything they want and then some; but we will also represent the poor by increasing their numbers.
