Some days I just don't have much hope for humankind.

[Shakespeare]

Some asshole set a fire outside of Riverside that's killed four firefighters, destroyed homes and is continuing to rage out of control.

Our vice president thinks waterboarding is okey-dokey.

Matt Lauer says Limbaugh's despicable actions are fine because that's what we were all thinking anyway.

And that's just the tip of today's inhumanity iceberg. :cry:

1. And even here at DU

homophobia is running rampant in GD, and not getting deleted. x(

[BarenakedLady]

5. That makes me sad

I'm never leaving the lounge.

[smirkymonkey]

18. Sometimes it seems like half the people in GD wandered over

here from "somewhere else" - doesn't it. In fact I almost hope so, because if some of those sentiments are actually coming from REAL Liberals & Democrats, then we really are hopeless.

2. My cynicism is rewarded every day

I long ago gave up on this species.

Don't forget more on the tip of the inhumanity iceberg:

Bush signed for bulding the New Berlin Wall today.

Death toll in Iraq worst in a year.

Rising healthcare costs eating away at retirement savings.

[Shakespeare]

3. Sigh. Yep, that's right.

If I were a drinker, I'd be plastered three sheets to the wind by now. NOT a good day.

[Shakespeare]

7. OK, just had something happen that made me feel a little bit better....

My mom, from whom I inherited the "don't fuck with me" gene, and who is very protective of her family (especially my sister who suffers from really bad rheumatoid arthritis, and so my mom has an affinity protectiveness for the disabled), is mostly apolitical and avoids news as much as I gravitate to it. But she has seen the clip of Limbaugh mocking Michael J. Fox, and she is PISSED.

Just got off the phone with my dad, who informs me that she thinks--and this is serious--that somebody needs to send a hit man after Limbaugh RIGHT FUCKING NOW. I think it's the first time I've laughed in about the last three days. As long as my mother breathes, there will be a voice for justice in the world. :rofl:

[Zomby Woof]

8. I've got her back

And the SS can't do a thing about my intentions regarding Rush Limpballs. :evilgrin:

[NC_Nurse]

12. Your mom is COOL!

Although I'd much rather he just died on his own...hopefully in bed with an underage prostitute and
a cucumber up his ass. :evilgrin:

[Gormy Cuss]

16. Learn something new every day at DU

I had no idea the "don't fuck with me" gene was inherited. Although come to think of it, both my parents and grandmothers had it, as do most of my sibs. Hmmm.

I think I'd like your mother.:-)

[KitchenWitch]

4. I saw that fire on the news this morning

:cry:

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. I gave up hope for humankind a long time ago

If you expect little, you're rarely disappointed.

[WindRavenX]

9. wait what-- what did Matt Lauer say?

WTF???

[Shakespeare]

10. Defended Limbaugh (his golfing buddy) by saying...

"Wasn't he just saying something we were all thinking anyway?"

Uh, no, Matt, you worthless piece of shit.

[WindRavenX]

11. shut.up.

My god. How horrible :(

[maxsolomon]

13. in addition

men are making comments on issues that concern women! that's just SO TYPICAL of men.

[Shakespeare]

14. uh......ok. n/t

[maxsolomon]

15. you had to be there for those threads

it makes me feel the same way you do.

[Initech]

17. Six years of George Bush will do that to you.

Six years of Bush and the group of fucking douchebags that he's assembled and the destruction they've caused have really made me question my faith in humanity.
