Skinner --- Could we have a Bush Count Down clock

[wakeme2008]

thanks in advance

:)

[southpaw]

1. Sounds cool to me!

Kick

[rainy]

6. My republican girlfriend gave me a battery operated Bush count-down gadget

and a bumper sticker with the date on it and the words "Bushes last day."

[poverlay]

32. My friend gave me one of those too. Then the battery died. Gave me quite a fright

I tell you. I spent a good 10 minutes shaking it and crying in fear. Then I got a new battery and everythings ok again.:freak:

[Harper_is_Bush]

2. I can't think of a better way to drive people insane. n/t

[MidwestTransplant]

9. Ha. All the insomniacs will sit and stare at the clock!

[Harper_is_Bush]

24. 'xactly. Not to mention it would afford that imbecile more attention than he deserves. n/t

[slackmaster]

3. Endorsed

:toast:

[Buzz Clik]

4. Great idea. I found several countdown clocks online, I was just too lazy to put it together.

[MissMillie]

5. I got one as a screensaver

[jojo54]

10. MissMillie, thanks for that website.

I went into the "fun and games" page, read the hate emails which were absolutely hilarious, then went into this site: http://www.planetdan.net/pics/misc/georgie.htm

I'm playing with Georgie right now and when he gets into some pretty wild positions when he gets stuck between the balls (bwaaaaaaaa)!!

[Cabcere]

14. *snickers*

*attempts to resist urge to make inappropriate Jeff Gannon joke*

*fails miserably, blurting out "That's what HE said!" a la Michael Scott from "The Office"* :P

[jojo54]

16. You read my mind re: Jeff Gannon joke.

I was having WAY too much fun on that site. I finally had to force my hand up to the X, but not before I bookmarked the page!!!

Great stress reliever.

[Contrary1]

21. If you move your cursor just right...

you can watch Junior hump the planet. Your own reality show!

[Lochloosa]

25. I've got the key chain

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. I have one on my home page of my computer

Check it every day :)

[jojo54]

8. Great idea.

I'm married to a Vietnam vet and some of you probably did this while serving. He still to this day, has a sheet of paper which he wrote the word "Home" in large block letters. These letters were then divided into the amount of days it would be before he was home again and each day, colored in a block with his high school colors.

Moral of the story: This small measure was an inspiration, which is what I think this clock would be.

[Nightjock]

11. I guess I am in the minority for this one

I would find it deppressing and a reminder that we will probably never get to impeach the fracking war criminal.

[pat_k]

45. Maybe. . .

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1020017&mesg_id=1028490">this would fit the bill?

[libodem]

12. Sounds like a plan

[TahitiNut]

13. It's only 599 days, 1 hours, 10 minutes, and 7 seconds until George W. Bush is no longer President

[Miss_Underestimated]

15. I prefer a "countdown to impeachment" clock!

[Hissyspit]

17. I was about to say... A countdown to Bush term ending gives people a sense that we should just wait

him out. But there are MANY new crimes that this administration can commit and there needs to be accountability. The war is not over and may not be over when his term comes to an end.

Sorry to piss on the Bush Clock idea, but that was my immediate reaction.

[orleans]

18. agree n/t

[Pacifist Patriot]

22. My reaction too, but then again it could say...

### days....at most!

[pat_k]

43. Or. . .

Something like http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1020017&mesg_id=1028490">this

[pat_k]

42. Perhaps like this one:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1020017&mesg_id=1028490

[stellanoir]

19. Nooooooooooooo. . .

Not a good idea. It would be totally bad cyber magic and empower him to serve out the entirety of his term and completely undermine any potential of his much deserved impeachment or early resignation.

There are plenty in the spiritual community who have perceived that he will not complete his second term.

But who the heck knows. . .?

[pat_k]

46. perhaps could. . .

help impeachment become a reality with a countdown like http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1020017&mesg_id=1028490">this.

[rosesaylavee]

20. Perhaps a countdown clock

with the amount of days we have endured this regime listed too.

We have 599 days to go and have endured 2300 or so since he 'assumed' office in 2000.

[MiniMe]

31. There is a website that has a download

http://www.backwardsbush.com/

[emlev]

23. You actually think Bush would leave office on 1/20/09?

If he's not gone before then, you really believe that this administration, which has absolutely no respect for the Constitution or other laws, would follow the law that says they're leaving power?

Tell me another one.

[whistle]

26. That or a meltdown clock with a Shrub* image

http://www.thecountdownclock.com/index.asp

[whistle]

29. Here is the countdown page for NASA shuttle liftoff

...it's kinda neat with pics that refresh and of course if DU set up a reference page only that would not allow postings other then administration with news items concerning Dubya I think that would be a constructive addition. Here is the NASA link:

[L. Coyote]

27. How can we know when the Resignation Cometh?

Or, for that matter, if the Impeachment will have to bring forth the Final Judgement.

It has to be called the "Inauguration Clock" to be fair to the possiblities, and the high probabilities engendered by highest crimes, high crimes, lots of crimes, all those misdemeanors, and the sins of lying.

[mmonk]

28. Hope not.

A celebration of sitting on one's butt to run out the clock.

[DS1]

30. No thanks, the number is still way too high and I hate to be reminded

[Kolesar]

33. DU was founded on opposition to *'s ascendancy,but I don't want a feature dedicated to him & Cheney

sort of for the same reason I won't put an Impeach Bush sticker on my car.

[emilyg]

34. Great Idea.

598

[JoePhilly]

47. Less then 600 days remain ... and hopefully he'll spend about a 1/3 of those

on vacation.

To maintain my sanity, I've been telling myself that 8 years isn't really that long.

I hardly remember the years from my birth to age eight. I'm hoping I live long enough to forget Bush's 8 years.

[Martin Eden]

35. Lousy Idea

Such a clock would appear to preclude early departure by impeachment.

[pat_k]

44. how 'bout this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1020017&mesg_id=1028490

[sellitman]

36. I have one as an Apple Widget.

I wish I could speed up the clock.

[The Icon Painter]

38. Widget

Where did you find it? I would like to have one on my Dashboard. Thanks.

[sellitman]

39. It's for Apple only I think?

http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/justforfun/bushcountdown.html

[The Icon Painter]

50. Thanks a Heap

I have an iMac and have just installed the counter, following your help. It will keep me going every morning - one less day in Purgatory. :D

[sellitman]

51. Glad to help.

Wish we could speed the thing up. I have an iMac too. It's a baby...just under 4 months old. I'm a believer already. What a great machine!

[sofa king]

37. A countdown clock assumes he'll leave when he's supposed to leave.

And I'm not sure he's going to. Why would the most criminal President in our nation's history walk away from all that power just to watch his buddies get picked up one-by-one for federal offenses that all point straight back to him?

[pat_k]

41. Which is why we need. . .

an http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1020017&mesg_id=1028490"> impeachment countdown

[pat_k]

40. Impeachment Countdown. 23 weeks of "off the table." 86 weeks. . .

As of Monday, June 4, 2007

23 weeks since taking control of Congress.
23 weeks of submitting to Pelosi's "off the table" edict.
23 weeks of impotent gesture.

86 weeks until the inauguration of the next president.
86 weeks in which 1700 service people will be killed (avg of 20 each week).
86 weeks in which 12,000 service people will be injured (avg of 20 per day).
86 weeks for the House to impeach Bush and Cheney and break their bonds of complicity.

32 weeks until the Iowa caucus.
32 weeks for a Demcoratic candidate to prove themselves worthy of our votes by demaning the impeachment of Bush and Cheney.

74 weeks until the Presidential election.
74 weeks for a Presidential candidate to electrify the electorate by demanding the impeachment of Bush and Cheney.

[Reterr]

48. delet dupe.n/t

[Reterr]

49. I have one in my head

I wonder what the worm will do once he is out of office. Probably sign up on the board of some crazy fundie "non-profit" a la Delay.

[Zhade]

52. Yeah, let's just run out the clock while thousands die.

Jesus fucking christ.

[derby378]

53. Once upon a time, I would have been all in favor of it...

...but now, with the likelihood of impeachment shriveling up and blowing away, it would simply be depressing to watch.
