The pot is coming to a boil...
It's getting hot! If someone doesn't put a lid on it, it's going to boil over. And when it does, someone is gonna get burned. Maybe if we just turned the heat down a little bit?

1. Yesterday, I was thinking that maybe DU needs a 24 hour break
This would be a good time for some sort of hardware maintenance. Or something.

3. The notion of Skinner saying to DU "Now you sit there in the corner quietly and think about what..
...you did!" strikes me as mildly amusing.

4. Yup, it's better to just walk away for a while
But it is his web site. If he decided that it was best to give the mods a breather, I wouldn't complain. Just sayin'.

2. You can't make tea out of pot without boiling it.
:D

8. Green tea - 180 degree water, white tea - 160 degree water. Not boiling.
Black teas, coffee - yes - boiling water.

So I am not quite sure I understand what you are saying. It is similar to the thought that we are saving the Iraqi people by destroying and occupying their country? Or that we have to break a few eggs to make an omelet?

9. It was an attempt at a marijuana joke.
But if it gets a promotion to cliche, that'll work as well.

15. Do people really make tea from pot? I have heard of making baked goods - but not tea.

16. You see what you want to see
Fact is Clinton is destroying the Democratic party with the never ending fake outrage attack after attack after attack because she can't accept the reality that her campaign was cocky and underestimated Obama.

Go watch the video again as an objective viewer. Her "anger" was complete nonsense, and I think you know it. As if someone from the crowd "just handed" the mailers to her. Please. Give me a break. What a phony, disgusting, desperate attempt.

17. I See Reality. She's A Politican. Politics Is A Game. But She Did Not 'Come Unhinged'
Such a meme spread around today is being done by a bunch of immature morons in my opinion, and it's completely disingenuous. The vitriol thrown at her today, the sexist bullshit, and the over the top melodramatic posts, have all been disingenuous and in large part disgusting. You all are really sinking to new lows today, even though it hadn't appeared such a new depth could occur.

7. A temporary pause in DU posting activity is a forerunner of the Rapture.
Hit those left-overs in the fridge, everyone!
