      Funny Thought: Next Dem President can appoint Al Gore to Supreme Court

response #1 by Lisa:

      especially poetic if he were to get Justice Thomas's spot ...
.... if there were, heaven forbid, an incident where the poor man choked while drinking a soda, or something.

response #5 by Nailzberg:

      Yup, pubic hair on your coke can cause that.

response #17 by SoCalDem:

      How about Pete Stark for SCOTUS? That would frost some republican cupcakes

On a thread by Judi Lynn:

      White House says Bush made 'rhetorical point' in warning of Third World War
"'The president was not making any war plans, and he wasn't making any declarations,' said White House press secretary Dana Perino. 'He was making a point, and the point is that we do not believe - and neither does the international community believe - that Iran should be allowed to pursue nuclear weapons.'

If Iran acquired nuclear weapons, she said, 'that would lead to a very dangerous - a potentially dangerous situation, and potentially lead to a scenario where you have World War III. But he was using that as a rhetorical point, not, you know, making a declaration...'"

      For God's sake, will someone please put Cheney's hand back up his ass? n/t

response #10 by Vinca:

      I'll give any journalist a hundred bucks if they ask Shrub
the meaning of the word "rhetorical" in a press conference.

response #24 by Lisa:

      Bush making a "rhetorical point" is like me singing an aria or baking a souffle ...
I have never been trained to do either of those things, and would be a total disaster.

On a thread by Amerigo Vespucci:

Bush Radio: "Every year, Americans grab tackle boxes and head out to their favorite fishing holes"
"THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. This weekend, I will join millions of Americans in one of our favorite national pastimes: fishing. I'm going to be on the Chesapeake Bay. For those who love fishing, the most important thing is not the size of your catch but the enjoyment of the great outdoors. Every year, millions of Americans grab their tackle boxes and head out to their favorite fishing holes. No matter where they drop their lines, they build memories that last a lifetime. And in the process, they contribute billions of dollars to our economy..."

response #3 by tularetom:

I visualize him tossing empty beer bottles into the bay
taking a whiz off the side of the boat, getting shitfaced and puking some chum into the water.

Or maybe he can crash the boat into the dock like his dumbass daddy did a few months ago at kenny bunk port.

OP by MGKrebs:

      Do you want to get on my nerves?
Here's your chance.

Use the word "thee".

I mean, wtf is up with that? It's 2007 fer chrissakes. And this is GD-Politics, not the Middle Earth Forum. Or do we have a lot of Wiccans posting in here? And even if so, does the Wiccan handbook say you have to type Old English words into your computer when posting to the internet? And aside from DragonCon attendees and gamers, we had gotten to the point where the only place you saw those words were in religious ceremonies and texts and the odd historical movie or book. Which is where they belong. The language has evolved. Embrace it.

And how come we never see "thou"? Or "thence"? Or "whence"? I mean, if you're going to go down this road, at least give us some variety. But be careful of that slippery slope... What's next? Big buckles on our shoes? Men wearing exposed hosiery?

It's bad enough we have to put up with our government rejecting science and technology, but we don't have to fall into the psychology trap they are creating and revert to 400 year old speech patterns.

Resist! Chrome on your car is OK! Electricity makes a lot of things possible! There are other fabrics besides wool!

Now back to my coffee.

OP title by LaStrega:

      Oh fuck me.
Have you heard? After Rush Limbaugh referred to Iraq war veterans who have criticized the war as "phony soldiers," he got a letter of complaint signed by 41 Democratic senators. He decided to auction "this glittering jewel of colossal ignorance" for charity, and he pledged to match the price. When the eBay auction closed Friday, the winning bid for the letter was $2.1 million.

Wonder what charity he donated to. Anyone know?

Let's get the risqué stuff out of the way first, shall we?

OP by tom_paine:

TOP NEWS STORY: Pelosi has Stark Arrested on Charges of Vagrancy
WASHINGTON (BPLSMLL) - This morning, in a move which shocked few, the FBI dispatched agents to the Washington DC townhouse of California Democratic Representative Pete Stark to make an unusual arrest.

Stark was harshly kicked out of his bed while eating crackers, handcuffed and taken to the DC Police station downtown on charges of vagrancy.

Some Constitutional and Legal scholars say Mr. Stark's arrest was a clear violation of the 4th and 6th amendments, but other more prominent and respected Constitutional and Legal Scholars have disagreed, saying the arrest for vagrancy was perfectly legal and in line with the Founding Fathers' vision for the USA.

"I think the whole notion that it is impossible for people to be vagrants while owning homes is an absurd and elitist liberal imposition on our nation," said David Hororwitz, a Senior Global Mega Fellow with the Insititute for Academic Freedom, " A strict construction of the Constitution shows no such right of being safe from vagrancy arrest while at home exists. There is therefore no inherent right implicit in the Constitution and the Liberals, as always, have no leg to stand on. It's laughable, really. These moonbats..."

Mr. Horowitz then choked with laughter on his cheese danish.

Another prominent and respected Constitutional Scholar, talk-show radio host Michael Savage, had this to say, "These Liberals just don't get the message. All they understand is violence. Do you hear what I am saying? If we kill 10% of their population, the rest will understand we mean business. And while I have called for the murder of one-hundred million Muslims before http://mediamatters.org/items/200604190001 , cleaning up the Liberal Problem should take far fewer deaths. I estimate no more than SIX million would be required, and that's not even getting our hair mussed," quipped Savage coyly.

Representative Stark was apoplectic, and was last seen on blurred CNNMSNBCFOXCBSGEDISNEY video screaming, "How can I be a vagrant? I own a home! I own three homes!"

We were told by Dana Perino that Stark later needed to be tranquilized for his own protection and safety.

Pelosi had this to say on the arrest, "If Mr. Stark thinks his wearing of an Impeach Bush t-shirt makes him immune from the laws and morals of the Homeland, then he is in for a rude awakening. I only hope this sets a precedent for all the ne'er do wells and vagrants in America. Mr. Chertoff recently told me there may be as many as 74% of Americans who are vagrants, and we MUST stop this epidemic before it disturbs Washington's cocktail parties and banquets."

Officials at the Office for Heimat Security and National Mental Health said Mr. Stark will undergo special therapy at the George HW Bush Hospital in Langley, VA, after which he will make a full statement of apology and a hollow-eyed confession of his crimes against the Leader and the State.

Uh oh, I think I violated DU copyright rules by posting more than four 'graphs. SOMEBODY ALERT A MODERATOR!

"U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has a 15-cent price tag stuck to his Yale law degree, blaming the school's affirmative action policies in the 1970s for his difficulty finding a job after he graduated..."

Most bosses love to hire people who are brimming over with self-pity.

the conservative black judge who traded being pissed at white racial bigots for being pissed at those who fought to make it possible for him to become a Supreme Justice?

Yo, Clarence! You may want to look in the mirror next time you spout off about "flowing sanctimony".

Oh, and dude, are you missing a pubic hair?

      Clarence Thomas: I shall not rest until Yale University changes the price tag
otherwise I shall return it for a refund.

response #26 by hisownpetard:

      I'm so glad for Clarabelle Thomas that affirmative action came along - otherwise, on what
could he blame his sullen personality and his lifelong mastery of the mediocre?

It is quite amazing, though, that he's managed to get around so well all these years, laboring
as he does under the weight of that chip that keeps teetering on his shoulder.

      Republicans clash: Who is most conservative?
"Front-runners Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney were forced to defend their conservative credentials by their campaign rivals Sunday night in the sharpest debate so far of the Republican presidential campaign.

'You’ve just spent the last year trying to fool people about your record. I don’t want you to start fooling them about mine,' Sen. John McCain jabbed at Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts.

Former Sen. Fred Thompson turned Giuliani into his target, saying the former New York mayor supported federal funding for abortion, gun control and havens for illegal immigrants. 'He sides with Hillary Clinton on each of those issues,' he added, referring to the New York Democrat who leads in the polls for her party’s presidential nomination..."

I'm so conservative that I want to ban all abortions but kill everyone as soon as they are born!

I'm so conservative that I want to blow up everything in the world just so we will be the last nation standing, thus assuring us #1 status forever!

      The proper enforcement of "no-tolerance"
The subject professing a policy of "no-tolerance" will be asked if they are comfortable and if their undershorts are loose-fitting.

OP by Husb2Sparkly:

      Ms. Couric, you waste of skin. Please step right up and kiss my gnarly ass.
You're supposed to be the current warmer of the chair of Murrow and Cronkite. You're not fit to warm their toes, you weasely-assed slime bucket.

You call that an interview? Why did you find it necessary to cop a 'tude? Play it straight. Ms. Plame seems perfectly capable of articulating her view of things and relating her own story. She really didn't need you to be so childish and, dare I go for alliteration, churlish in steering things the way you wanted .... to fit your views. A real news person cultivates that skill. You, on the other hand, who have been paid all your life simply to be perky, do not.

I won't call you stupid. I don't think you are. I will, however, call you ignorant. I do think you are. I also think you have an agenda and I do not think showing it is acceptable.

Ms. Couric, I hope you soon find yourself in the same unemployment line as Connie Chung, who, in many ways, was you predecessor over there at CBS, but for very different reasons.

I knew Murrow and Cronkite. I trusted them.

You're no Cronkite. You're no Murrow.

You, ma'am, are a cheap hack.

Be gone.

      A drink a day for health? Forget it, research says
"You eat your veggies, you exercise at least a few times a week, you gave up cigarettes and hormone-replacement pills, and you have a glass of red wine every day, all because you care about your health.

But one of these things is not like the others.

While your attention has been elsewhere, scientists have amassed persuasive evidence that drinking alcohol regularly — any form, even in moderate amounts — can pose a serious threat to your health.

Researchers have known for nearly 20 years that drinking alcoholic beverages can cause cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus and liver. But those diseases don't receive much publicity. The International Agency for Research on Cancer this year added breast and colon cancer — two of the four major killer cancers — to the list of malignancies known to be fostered by alcohol."

Or...he could have joined the Peace Corps, Southern Christian Leadership Conference, NAACP, or even CORE.

      Talk Host Gallagher: 'Round Up' Olbermann, Damon, And 'Put Them In A Detention Camp'
Yesterday on Fox News, talk radio host Mike Gallagher said the U.S. government should 'round up' actor Matt Damon, 'The View' host Joy Behar, and MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann and 'put them in a detention camp until this war is over because they’re a bunch of traitors.'

Gallagher was upset over Behar’s comment that Time magazine should have chosen a controversial 'Hitler-type' like Donald Rumsfeld as its Person of the Year. Gallagher said Damon should also be incarcerated because he 'attacked George Bush and Dick Cheney'; he didn’t explain why he wanted to imprison Olbermann..."

OP by TwilightZone:

      Clues that the post you’re reading on DU might not be sincere
1) A post starts with “I hate to say it, but….”

The reverse, of course, is true. It’s not hate, it’s love. The poster is simply thrilled to be providing you with the information that follows.

Remove the above phrase, and you usually end up with the sincere part.

Example: “I hate to say it, but I think X candidate really is an (insert flame-worthy accusation here)”

2) It includes the phrase “I’ve heard”

What the poster really means is, “Check out the ridiculous assertion that I just invented!”

Anything that follows “I’ve heard” should be disregarded in its entirety. The poster didn’t “hear” anything unless it was the voices in his/her head.

3) It includes some variation of “The Republicans want X candidate to be the nominee”

What the poster really means is “I hate your candidate, but since I can’t be bothered with actually explaining why, I’ll use the Republicans as an excuse.”

“Karl Rove” can be substituted for “The Republicans.”

4) It includes the phrase “I’m worried” or the phrase “I’m afraid”.

What this really means is “please believe the completely irrational assertion that follows shortly”.

Example: “I’m afraid that X candidate will be nominated, and the world will end!”

Example: “I’m worried that X candidate will be nominated, because it will turn the Republicans into a pack of rabid weasels intent on personal destruction!”

Don’t be afraid. Besides, the rabid weasel party is already intent on personal destruction, as I’m sure Mr. Gore and Mr. Kerry would confirm.

      DU's Book of Nonsense (Limericks)
The Book of Nonsense is where the limerick got its popularity a long time ago and I have always liked this art form (although some would not agree that it is art) because most people can write one.
So if you like please make one and add it to this thread and make it preferably about DU or current events Perhaps if we have enough we could have our own Book of Nonsense.
I will start it out with this:

The history of DU is unwritten
But Limericks can tell it if smitten
Just write five lines
With two different rhymes
And don’t ever think of quit’n.

There is a board named DU
Why he made it we have only a clue
But his nickname is Skinner
And he did it at dinner
When he saw a bush in his stew.

And another known as Elad
That doesn’t sound so bad
He was supping with Skinner
On that fateful dinner
And the smell of bush made him mad

Now three heads are better than one
And when it was finally done
They stayed up all night
To join in the fight
For Al Gore had actually won.

So deep underground did they go
With their Democratic Underground show
And they invited us here
And thought it not queer
To let our safety valve blow

But quantity is key, according to the study in the journal Anesthesiology.

University of California researchers found moderate use had the greatest impact on pain in 15 volunteers, while large doses actually made pain worse.

WELL, my day was RUINED! RUINED I tell you! THEN when we tried to get to the dock to check on Yacht .... we TURNED BACK! TURNED BACK I tell you! Something about evacuation.

When I got home to Mansion I ordered Butler to turn on the television and I was SHOCKED! SHOCKED I tell you! All over Southern California .... (you know 100% rich and WHITE Southern California) .... FIRES EVERYWHERE! EVERYWHERE I tell you! Mansion after mansion in blazes! Freeways jammed with RICH WHITE PEOPLE being driven by their drivers (mostly in Rolls Royce's and other EXPENSIVE cars) to some sort shelter. Why my heart just sank! I quickly called Maid, Back up Maid, Butler, Driver and ordered them to clear all the brush around mansion and ordered pool boy to hose down the roof (shirtless of course).

Just when they finished their chores and returned from getting cleaned up in the servants quarters (they were so filthy, FILTHY I tell you)and returning to their NORMAL job functions .... my telephone rang!

Well Butler was out drying off Pool Boy (luck him) so I had to answer the phone MYSELF, it was THAD! Thad told me he had to evacuate and would I be a lamb and let him stay over? Well OF COURSE! It might be a bit cramped, but I could spare the south wing for him. I mean what are friends FOR? What ARE they for, I tell you.

      Darling! As my maid read this to me I almost fell off the massage table!
Why, I nearly fired her for saying such things! Thank goodness Chips, my butler, had smelling salts and fans on stand by. You should warn people before you create such horrible and devasting posts!

Sweetie, you simply must use my pied-a-terre in Paris for your getaway. Darling, what you've been through is just monstrous - I shudder just thinking of it! We must never speak of this again!!

      Funky Winkerbean this week: am I the only one to find it depressing
to think that in 10 years we will still be having fundraisers for breast cancer reearch?

response #1 by Basileus Basileon:

      Whenever you ask the question,
"Am I the only one to find Funky Winkerbean depressing" in any regard whatsoever, the answer is certainly "no." That strip could be used to break a Gitmo inmate.

response #4 by madinmaryland:

      Someone still carries funky winkerbean?
Can you provide a link so that i can see it?

Oh, my...turns out, I'm a Republican
Okay, so I signed up to work the polls this year...I had time and they need workers...and I thought I declared myself a Democrat. Turns out, I did...but not when it counted. :blush: :blush: :blush:

Y'see, last year in the primary I wanted to influence the choices for state offices in our red-turning-blue state and ....now I'm a Republican (at least until next year's primary!)
