The :banghead: thread.


OJ instead of Blackwater Banned :banghead:

Brittney instead of dying oceans :banghead:

Paris Hilton instead of AG investigation :banghead:

Vick instead of FISA :banghead:

Sanjaya instead of CNMI :banghead:



...You know what, this is too easy. Let's switch things up...



Some Guy Tasered instead of $1.00US = $1.02 Canadian :banghead:

Breast feeding instead of new iraq civilian casualty estimates :banghead:

Primaries over months and months away for an election > 1 year away instead of Tigris oil spill. :banghead:

Healthcare plan minutia instead of "36 nations" and the big lie of the coalition :banghead:



...Well, the more lines I add to that the more people I'll piss off I guess...


:banghead: :banghead: Feel free to bang your head. :banghead: :banghead:

10. I know how you feel!!!
But the fluff will always accompany the real news in this 'electrified' world.

But you can always use 'ignore' threads, but I don't choose to do that...

27. Yeah, but...

...tiny little details about overarching plans that aren't even drawn up for legislative review and wouldn't get through congress without being run under the meat tenderizer, not so much.

33. I'll bang my head to all of it except one issue.
Even though there are 2143875648946782145782 threads about it here on DU, the taser issue is important, it brings up the issue of an ever-growing and more oppressive police state.
