OP by ProSense:

      Bush: My job is a decision-making job. And as a result, I make a lot of decisions.|
link:thinkprogress.org/2007/10/03/decider-strikes-again/#comments|‘The Decider’ boasts again.

Hey, at least he didn't say: My job is a decision-making job. And as a result, I make a lot of jobs.

response #1 by Patsy Stone:

      And every last one of them
is wrong.

response #4 by Steve_DeShazer:

Shincerely,

Shteve_DeShasher

response #6 by Disturbed:

Yeah, I am not nice.

response #14 by Virginia Dare:

      The secret service has probably prevented this from happening..
on more than one occasion.

OP by Old and In the Way:

      Hell yes, I'm proud to be a socialist.
Because, the opposite is to be anti-socialist. I worry about those types.

OP by Bucky:

      Who would win in a fist fight between Aung San Suu Kyi and Benazir Bhutto?
Yes, it's the epic clash of the south Asian political dissident titans!

On the right, there's Benazir "the Basher" Bhutto...
Cool, detached, outgoing, even a hint of corruption as she muscles, hustles, and bustles her way back into power.

On the left, we have Aung San "Bang-a-Gong" Suu Kyi...
Two hotties will enter the ring... but only one will walk out. Call it! Who will win? Sunday... Sunday... Sunday!!

response #5 by IntravenousDemilo:

      How about Bhutto and Aung together, versus Mike Ditka?
But in answer to your question, it'd have to be Bhutto, because I suspect she eats better.

response #14 by leeroysphits:

      I'll take Bhutto. She wants it more. You can tell she has the Eye Of The Tiger...

response #16 by bicentennial_baby:

      You'll pay for the whole seat, but you'll only need
the edge EDGE EDGE!!!

response #19 by ncabot22:

      I'd pick Bhutto
Kyi has been under house arrest too long. I don't think she'd be in good physical shape to take on Bhutto. It would be a hell of a fight, though.

OP by Mend:

      anti-abortion protest here today....huge turnout of 6 people...
4 women who haven't been fertile in at least 25 years and two elderly men who require no comment. 3 posted on one corner and 3 down about a mile. It is in the nineties in SW Florida. I sure hope they aren't overcome by the passion of it all.

response #2 by Buzz Clik:

      The protest was aborted in its first trimester.
No chance of sustaining life on its own.

      Sen. Craig to join Idaho Hall of Fame

response #4 by MADem:

Was he surprised that they tapped (tap, tap, tap) him for it?

:rofl:

response #11 by DemoTex:

      It should be the "Stall of Fame"
Know what I mean, Vern?

response #18 by Fly by night:

OP by RGBolen:

      Fred Thompson drinking game for the debate
1 shot every time Fred uses the term "outsider" as in being a "Washington Outsider" and a "Hollywood Outsider"

2 shots every time Fred uses a word that isn't a word such as "fixin" "ain't" "fussin" "yall"

response #7 by leftist_not_liberal:

response #15 by Tejanocrat:

      Can we just drink the whole bottle if Thompson has to beg for applause, Giuliani takes a call from

On a thread by seafan:

      Jeb Bush bemoans "mean-spirited" politics
"A 'putrid' and 'mean-spirited' political atmosphere for both liberals and conservatives discourages good people from seeking public office, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Thursday.

'I can't watch the news, as a brother who loves my brother,' said Bush, the brother of President George W. Bush and son of former President George H. W. Bush. 'The food fight has to stop, and there needs to be a restoration of civility...'"

response #1 by MookieWilson:

      If he's looking for sympathy, he'll find it...
between 'shit' and 'syphllis' in the dictionary.

response #15 by Sentinel Chicken:

      "Jeb Bush bemoans "mean-spirited" politics"
But killing brown people to steal their oil makes him feel all right.

That would really sway me more to him and his half sane version of Libertarian Republicanism... :sarcasm:

response #4 by Major Hogwash:

      He would know, he was there when they signed the Constitution.
He's an old bugger.

"The U.S. Secret Service is investigating why one of its agents shot his car last month during a United Nations visit by the Iranian premier.

Secret Service spokesman Eric Zahren confirmed that his agency's internal affairs unit has been asked to find out the details surrounding an agent's 'accidental discharge' into the floorboard of his vehicle on Sept. 25 in Manhattan..."

response #1 by T.Ruth2power:

      That's either Barney Fife
or "there's more to this than meets the eye."

response #2 by lligrd:

      Is Brownie Now Working For The SS? nt

response #3 by bahrbearian:

      Maybe he was hung over from the late night Cheney Quail hunt.

response #4 by damntexdem:

      Maybe he's a worse shot than Cheney.

response #8 by TahitiNut:

      He must've won the bet ...
... that he couldn't hit a car even if he was inside of it. I guess that'll stop him from being teased at the firing range.

On a thread by OwnedByFerrets:

      "IF" you recognize Columbus Day as a national holiday
this is part and parcel of what you are commemorating.

"Columbus and his men also used the Taino as sex slaves: it was a common reward for Columbus’ men for him to present them with local women to rape..."

      A note about us Black folks and our "Blackcents" as it relates to Barack's church appearance

response #20 by Bucky:

      Zelig syndrome
You humans never cease to amuse me. You remind me of that time Nancy Reagan got up and started dancing and clapping and spinning around in a black church in the 80s. Funniest thing I ever saw. I reported it back to the home planet and we called off the invasion immediately.

On a thread by rinsd:

      Can anyone provide evidence showing Hillary will drive up GOP turnout?

response #1 by Xipe Totec:

      The only thing that would drive GOP turnout
is Ronald Regan's second coming.

And he would have to walk on water and cure some lepers.

response #3 by liberalmuse:

      No.
But I can present loads of premature speculation not backed up by any facts, if you want.

response #13 by originalpckelly:

      The Thompson unit seems to be defective and may have shipped without a processor.

response #24 by cadmium:

more wingnut support. The dummy vote is huge.

response #26 by Kurovski:

      Your mouse voted for Rudy.
Get over it.

response #16 by marekjed:

      Is that the e-voting thing?
Because no matter what I click, on the confirmation page it always comes up as Bush.

Not for the squeamish...

On a thread by babylonsister:

      "Friend of Falwell" Minister Dies During Bizarre Sex Play
"An Alabama minister who died in June of "accidental mechanical asphyxia" was found hogtied and wearing two complete wet suits, including a face mask, diving gloves and slippers, rubberized underwear, and a head mask, according to an autopsy report.

Investigators determined that Rev. Gary Aldridge's death was not caused by foul play and that the 51-year-old pastor of Montgomery's Thorington Road Baptist Church was alone in his home at the time he died (while apparently in the midst of some autoerotic undertaking). While the Montgomery Advertiser, which first obtained the autopsy records, reported on Aldridge's two wet suits, the family newspaper chose not to mention what police discovered inside the minister's rubber briefs..."

response #8 by TomInTib:

      Well, at least he was practicing safe sex (used a condom).
I am not even going to post it, but read "what police discovered" at Smoking Gun link.

Evidently, Ol' Gary was a complex fellow.

      Actually, he WAS a condom!

      Are you really in NC? I am nearby and have a couple of wetsuits I can loan you.
You have to get your own dildo.

      It's all in the biblical prophesies he believed
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8, KJV)

It's very simple: He suited up in a diving suit so that he could check out these "divers places" and see how the end-of-times prophecy was proceeding.

The dildo was there so he wouldn't be "left behind."

response #142 by rucky:

      If it were just one wet suit...
this wouldn't be that newsworthy.

OP by NanceGreggs:

      Jesus Facing Multiple Charges
Within days of his Second Coming, Jesus Christ (aka Prince of Peace, Savior, The Lord) is facing charges in a number of jurisdictions across the country.

After addressing a crowd in Washington D.C. with what is quickly becoming known as His now-infamous “Blessed are the Peacemakers” speech, Jesus was arrested for holding a political rally without a permit. A possible charge of treason is also pending, given that The Lord’s blatant anti-war statements may constitute a direct threat against the born-again president and his conduct of the war in Iraq.

Later that same day in Orlando, Florida, Jesus was handcuffed by local authorities after feeding a multitude of homeless people who had gathered to hear him speak about being Thy Brother’s Keeper. “We still don’t know how he pulled off the seven loaves and seven fishes thing, but the law is the law,” said the arresting officer, who refused to disclose his identity for fear of losing his immortal soul.

In a related incident, Jesus was again at odds with local authorities in Fresno, California, after attempting to prevent police from destroying makeshift shelters constructed by the homeless. After being read his Miranda rights, the Lord’s only comment was, “As you do to the least among you, so you do unto me.”

Within minutes of posting bail, Jesus reappeared at an Alabama state judicial building where he was promptly arrested for inciting to riot after making a statement about ‘rendering things unto Caesar, and things unto God’. “I knew the kid was a troublemaker the minute he started shooting his mouth off about the separation of church and state,” said a man later identified as one Roy Moore, who was outside the building protesting the removal of a granite monument displaying the Ten Commandments from the premises several years ago.

Jesus wound up his cross-country crime spree with an arrest at a mid-western mega-church, when he was unceremoniously ousted after disrupting a Sunday service by suggesting to the congregation that they do unto others as they would have others do unto them. “I was willing to let the whole thing go,” said the irate pastor, “but then he started emptying the poor box at the back of the church and handing the money out to the poor. When he started talking about he who is without sin casting the first stone, I had no choice but to call the police.” (The name of the pastor is being withheld due to pending litigation involving tax evasion, fraud, and an incident involving a male prostitute.)

While local jurisdictions in various states deal with the pending charges against Christ, Federal authorities are looking into possible ties to terrorist activity. Apparently several phone calls between Jesus and alleged distant relatives in the Middle East have been closely monitored, and further charges may be laid in connection with suspected links to terrorist organizations. “We’re pretty sure that His use of phrases like peace be with you, goodwill to all men is some kind of code," said one source, speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter.

In addition, the Department of Homeland Security is looking into the fact that Jesus was able to transport himself from one place to another without setting off red flags at any airports, despite having been placed on the no-fly list. DHS Chief Michael Chertoff has vowed to investigate the matter fully.

Given the MSM coverage of the now ill-fated Second Coming, Christ’s lawyers are already concerned about His ability to get a fair trial.

“Rush Limbaugh called him a ‘phony Savior’ on his radio show last week,” said a public defender assigned to one of the Christ cases, “and Catholic League president Bill Donahue has already publicly denied him three times. How is the Son of God supposed to get a fair shake?”

In the midst of the controversy, White House spokesperson Dana Perrino fielded a barrage of questions on the topic during a recent press conference. She firmly stated that the president, in keeping with his long-held policy in such matters, refuses to comment on an ongoing investigation.

Although unconfirmed, several reliable sources have indicated that Jesus wept.

      Well now, let's see....
Karl stares all day long, at his newspaper cutout framed picture of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and his wife on the day he was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice. And also mumbling to himself about how really, really sorry he is about ALL THAT. Oh, and he's also ruminating about how to "reinvent himself," cause he doesn't want to be just a "Bush Guy" anymore. But he understands that some people out there "hate him." So I guess he's trying to figure out how to make that work for him.

Then there's Dan Barlett. Now he's bought himself a brand new iPod to take the place of his old, White House Blackberry. But he doesn't get any calls, text messages or emails from anyone anymore. So he bugs his wife all day asking her to send him an email or have sex or something.

And Sara Taylor's in a special desensitizing 12-Step program in a futile attempt to get her soul back from the devil. She says she's got her "groove back" though, so I guess she's cruising bars now.

And Meghan O'Sullivan -- the Iraq rebuilding architect is having nightmares. About Iraq. Who would have guessed? I'm looking for a headline about her and some kind of sexual thing or maybe jumping off a building anyday now....

Ingredients
1 hot dog, cook's choice
1 Idaho baking potato, 7 to 10 ounces
Mustard for dipping, any style
Other condiments as desired such as cheese sauce, sour cream, chili, chives, bacon pieces or black olives

OP by ruggerson:

      Last night I sat in my car with God
He lives in a small apartment off of 5th on 86th st, but his Dominican illegal
housekeeper was "Fabreezing" the back bedroom. French houseguests had apparently
overstayed their welcome and spewed pomme frites and ketchup all over the bed while watching the Jerry Lewis Telethon.

So, anyway, we both had time to kill and we were talking about the election and he mentioned that if Dennis Kucinich wins he plans on sending a plague of locusts to attack Missouri.

Why Missouri?

"It's still a bellwether state isn't it," God mused, an almost rhetorical question, as he flipped the ashes from his joint out the window of my 87 Camry. "I've always
enjoyed fucking with bellwether states - they have this ungodly sense of self import."

Does God have something against Dennis Kucinich?

"Well, I usually like Vegans who marry up. But there's something about him that irritates me. He whines a lot and he kind of reminds me of Alan Keyes. If there's a presidential race, well... THERE he is."

God passed me the joint.

"Did you like my little Alan Keyes karmic moment?"

"You mean when you made his daughter a lesbian?"

God chuckles to Himself and stares out the window. "I crack myself up sometimes."

We sit in silence. God says, softly, "This whole '08 thing has your country in a frenzy. When are they ever going to learn?"

I looked at Him. "Who's going to win?"

He smiled. "This time.... the one who is supposed to."

"What, you trying to redeem yourself for George Bush?"

God outright laughs. "Everything goes in cycles, my son. Even the United States."

He glances at his watch. "Rosita should be done by now."

"Would you like me to drop you off?"

"No, I can walk it. Need the exercise."

God starts to climb out of the car.

I watch him, a little anxiously. "This election will turn out ok, won't it? I mean, I'm not going to have to move to Canada or anything?"

God leans back in the car. "Put it this way. I don't plan on having to really use those locusts."

As he grinned at me, I noticed something I'd never seen before. A little American flag pin on his robe, turned upside down.

"Goodnight," He said. And disappeared down 86th.

Americans were asked, "Who would you nominate for Democratic presidential candidate?" 45% said Al Gore, 30% said Hillary Clinton, 15% said Barak Obama, 8% said John Edwards, and 2% said somebody else.

Just so you know, a few of the people polled were my dog, my wife, the people at the coffee shop, and a few celebrities. I watched Guliani on the TV and asked him who he thinks would make the best Democratic nominee. I said, if you think it's Hillary, say "health care". If you think it's Gore, say "9/11".

18. Ladies and gentlemen, seldom can it have been a greater pleasure and privilege
than it is for me now to announce that the next award gave me the great pleasure and privilege of asking a man without whose ceaseless energy and tireless skill the British Film Industry would be today.

For me, there can be no greater privilege, and honour, than to that to which it is my lot to have befallen this evening.

Few have done more to make DU so entertaining and enlightening. If it's often indeliberate, I think we can be big enough to overlook that.

And so I must apologize.

On the upside, I avoided profanity. And you know how...how...how...DREADFULLY...difficult that is for me.

74. Yes, you were rude, but I did "get over it"
it wasn't easy though, I cried for days - months maybe. Not because of what you said, but because I thought I may have voted for Rudy. Your reprimand was the last straw that threw me over the edge, almost to the brink of a nervous breakdown, but THEN I
realized Rudy wasn't even a choice, and you were just plain wrong.

Avoiding profanity is difficult for me, too, and sometimes I just can't help myself - it started sometime in 2002, and it just keeps getting worse and worse, dammit! :loveya:

53. Thanks to JeffR and all his helpers (or, as I like to call them, the 'DUgooders') for
a great week's worth of DUzys. Always nice to start the week-end off with a good laugh.

And thanks so much for the DUzy (my second!!). I'm getting close to my 1000th post so, apparently,
once in every 500 posts, I say something worthwhile.

un-worthwhile, or something that's funny because it's so un-funny.
It can be... oh, hell, it can be just about anything.

So here I was, minding my own business, trying to remain humble
and self-deprecating while expressing gratitude for having received my
2nd ****DUzy****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and then you come along. (Thanks for the congratz! Can I put you on my Buddy List?)

to your Buddy List or whether it has to be a mutual decision.

All my computer tells me when I click on it is that I have "No Buddies."

So I guess I ain't got no buddy - but you. You're my first! (I'm blushing).
