Proposal: DU's "A Day without Palins"
say, on Buy-Nothing Day (next friday, Nov. 26th), & mercilessly enforced by the mods on every forum. nothing about any Palin, or Levi Johnston, or Wasilla. a blissful intertube space full of emptiness.

i'd like a Palin-free Eternity, frankly, but i'll negotiate with myself down to a day first. i'd also settle for a Palin-Free Hour.

who's with me?

2. I'm with you. Why must we hear every little thing about her?
Surely we could go without her for just one day...

6. I proposed a Palin dungeon, where those posts would be sent like I/P, 9/11, and gun threads are. nt

12. I'm in favor of the adults discussing what they want to dicuss and wildly in favor of scroll buttons
and "hide thread."

I don't particiapte, but they don't bother me in the least.

14. and if it works out well
I suggest a permanent moratorium. If ever the desire to know anything about a Palin should strike me, there are plenty of other places I can go to check out the nonsense.

15. To quote Anita Bryant, A day without the palins, is like a day without...
hemorrhoids.
