***DUzy Awards for week ending April 25, 2008.***
Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 08:01 PM by JeffR

OP by bigbrother05:

      You people need to get out of my head!
Why does it feel as though some posts are giving me stage directions?

One poster mentions that they will type slowly so someone will have an easier time getting the point, so I methodically read each word with deliberate intent in order to grasp their full meaning one-by-one-by-one.

Another poster says that they want to keep their idea/comment on the "down low", so I lean forward and focus intently to be sure to not miss a word that's being said.

This must be a DU related syndrome, the words on my laptop screen are real, each with it's own voice. Some have accents, others are loud. A lot sound like a dull drone, but a very few draw you in and transport you to a place of understanding and sometimes even wisdom.

Think I need to go rest now.

      Titan: Treasures of Earth's oily twin (BBC) {from Vienna conference}
"If worlds have shadow twins elsewhere in the Universe, then Earth's would appear to lie just a block or two down the cosmic road, in orbit around Saturn.

'We have on Titan many of the geological features that we find on Earth,' enthuses Rosaly Lopes...

Dr Lopes, from Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California, is one of the scientists reviewing the Titan findings at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) meeting in Vienna, Europe's largest annual gathering of scientists studying the Earth, its climate and its cosmic neighbourhood.

There may be 1,000 times more liquid hydrocarbons in Titan's lakes than in all the oil wells on Earth. Its dunes may hold hundreds of times the content of Earth's coal reserves..."

      Clinton Is Against 'Whoop-Di-Do' Speeches
"After stressing the financial burdens Americans are suffering, problems with education, and more, Clinton stressed the critical decision these voters have to make. She jabbed her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, who Saturday held his largest rally ever miles from the site where Clinton spoke.

'I don’t want to show up and give one of these whoop-di-do speeches and, you know, and just kind of get everybody whipped up,' she said, 'and those feel great and, you know, try to convince some of you to be for me...'"

On a thread by sniffa:

      Whoops: Clinton actually doesn't give a crap about Passover
As you'll remember, Passover is very important to Sen. Clinton. When CBS and Sen. Barack Obama proposed holding a presidential debate tonight, April 19, in North Carolina, Sen. Clinton at first vacillated, and then ultimately condemned the idea, suggesting it would be offensive to Jewish families who will begin celebrating Passover at sundown today...

Now, Passover is here -- and since she believes that attending a campaign event on this major Jewish holiday is clearly objectionable, surely Sen. Clinton is spending the evening away from TV cameras, quietly preparing a first Seder or otherwise honoring the occasion off the campaign trail?

Not so much.

According to her campaign website, Sen. Clinton will be spending tonight just as Obama had suggested: leading a series of "Solutions for America" rallies, campaigning full-force for the Presidential nomination...

On a thread by Joanne98:

      The corporate culture. Motivational water-boarding! NO JOKE!
"No one really disputes that Chad Hudgens was waterboarded outside a Provo office park last May 29, right before lunch, by his boss.

There is also general agreement that Hudgens volunteered for the 'team-building exercise,' that he lay on his back with his head downhill, and that co-workers knelt on either side of him, pinning the young sales rep down while their supervisor poured water from a gallon jug over his nose and mouth.

And it’s widely acknowledged that the supervisor, Joshua Christopherson, then told the assembled sales team, whose numbers had been lagging: 'You saw how hard Chad fought for air right there. I want you to go back inside and fight that hard to make sales.'

What’s at issue in the lawsuit Hudgens filed against his former employers -- just as in the ongoing global debate over the CIA’s waterboarding of terrorism suspects -- is the question of intent.

Prosper Inc. maintains that what the supervisor did, while unauthorized, overzealous and misguided, falls far short of torture, and in fact was not nearly as bad as Hudgens makes out in his quest for damages.

'We’re not the mean waterboarding company that people think we are,' said George Brunt, general counsel for the firm..."

OP by GOPBasher:

      Bush Cites "King Peter of Narnia" as favorite historical figure.

Bush Cites “King Peter of Narnia” As Favorite Historical Figure



President Hails Fictional Nation as “Great Democracy”



In a rare interview with Democratic Underground Press (DUP), President George W. Bush cited “King Peter of Narnia” as his favorite historical figure. Asked what historical figure has most influenced his own governing philosophy, the president said, “King Peter was definitely my favorite, he was a heck of a leader.” Bush praised Narnia as a noble nation of free people, led by a valiant king dedicated to protecting its freedom.

“Narnia was a great Democracy,” Bush declared, “And like all great Democracies, they had a great King who was put there by God to tell everyone what to do and who to kill.”

“You can’t just trust Democracy to just ordinary people,” Bush explained. “That’s why we have Jesus, or Aslan for the Narnians, to put God’s will into people ... you know, sort of put God’s will into place, with people He wants for certain things, like for king or president or whatever.”

When told that The Chronicles of Narnia, the series of novellas written by C.S. Lewis, was a work of fiction, Bush responded that he “never quite understood much math,” but believes that the Narnians should be honored for their achievements. “They may have been just a fraction, as you say” Bush explained, “But if you think that somehow dimishinizes their accomplishments, and all the things they accomplished, and, kind of, you know, puts down the things they gotten done, such as defeating the evil White Witch and all, then I respectfully disagree.”

Bush also dismissed criticisms that Narnia was a Monarchy, not a Democracy, as “liberal media spin.” “Narnia was a great country with lots of noblenessity, with one heck of a nobly king. That’s why he was the high king and why he was such a great country. And when their freedom was under attack by freedom-hating people, you see, they were at war with some extremist folks, and so they didn’t bother much with little details and facts. (King Peter) just said, ‘Bring it on!’

“I try to model myself after the great King Peter. I know who our enemies is, and I’ll do whatever it takes to defend them ... defend us from them, from those who would take away our freedom.”

The interviewer held out a map and asked Bush to point out Narnia. “It’s in a different world,” Bush insisted. “It might be where Saddam hid his weapons.”

Responding to the same question in a DUP interview in February, Vice President Dick Cheney responded: “Attila the Hun. Fuck you.”

      Wait, hold on here. Does anyone else see something wrong here?
"A march by a busload of neo-Nazi activists on Constitution Avenue yesterday wreaked havoc on a balmy afternoon in the nation's capital, bringing traffic to a halt, filling the streets with hundreds of police officers and provoking an ugly confrontation on the sidelines that resulted in at least three arrests.

About 30 marchers from the Michigan-based National Socialist Movement, waving red swastika flags and shouting, 'Sieg Heil!' emerged about 2:30 p.m. from a bus one block from the White House and strode toward the Capitol, flanked by thick cordons of police walking the route in riot gear and hundreds of officers on horseback, bicycles and motorcycles...

When Bush visited West View Elementary School on Mingle Avenue in Knoxville Jan. 8, the announcement was made that protesters would be kept at a state building parking lot at Middlebrook Pike and Mingle Avenue several blocks - or about one-third of a mile - from the school.

Although the parking lot of the State Plaza Building at Middlebrook and Mingle originally had been designated as a First Amendment zone, about 30 minutes before Bush's motorcade arrived, police ordered the protesters to move some 150 feet west, out of sight of the motorcade..."

OP by CaptJasHook:

      Breaking: Mr. Kool Aid defecting from Obama Camp
In a stunning announcement Saturday evening, Mr. Kool Aid has shifted his support from Senator Barack Obama to the campaign for Senator Hillary Clinton.
At a press conference from his home in Strawberry Falls, Pennsylvania, an emotional Mr. Kool Aid claimed to have successfully quenched the thirst for change amongst supporters of Senator Obama.
"Oh, Yeah! My job is through here. The kids over at the Clinton campaign are incredibly thirsty. It is my duty, as an American Icon, to go where I am most needed."
This defection has caused quite a stir amongst members of the entire food industry. Speaking at a closed door meeting at the Heritage Institute, Spokesmilkshake for MacDonalds, Grimace has suggested that Mr. Kool Aid's defection is due to the lack of effectiveness of Mr. Kool Aid's secret ingredient.
"Everyone knows Kool Aid was mixed up. It's obvious he is disappointed in not being able to kill off all of the Obama campaign. Now he sees an easier target in Clinton supporters. You could tell his Kickin Kiwi Lime tears were fake."
To back up his claim, Tator, youngest of the Fry Guys released a document from sources inside Kraft foods. The little known document is an internal memo dating back to 1979. The memo is a listing, by Kraft Food master chef Cynthia McCain of possible addictive ingredients to be added to Mr. Kool Aid in order to appeal to the coveted college Greek House market niche. At number three on the list, in bold letters, is Crown Royal.
"Obviously, Mr. Kool Aid is not moving to the Clinton Campaign for the generous reasons he has given. This is a blatant marketing ploy by Kraft to take advantage of the current state of depression amongst Senator Clinton's supporters."
Commenting for the Clinton Campaign, Ms. Butterworth had this to say, "This is a great day for Senator Clinton. Obviously by imitation Maple flavoring wasn't quite helping the campaign. Adding Mr. Kool Aid's artificial flavoring to the campaign will help to quell the rumors of Hillary's bitterness."

response #7 by grantcart:

response #9 by CaptJasHook:

      The Senator from New York is petitioning
Apparently there is some hold up, because lawyers from Senator Obama's camp refuse to accept him as a voting Foodstuff. It was agreed earlier in the Primary season that foodstuffs could not vote past their shelf life. Apparently, Kool aid has no shelf life...

OP by phrigndumass:

      Guam. Guam! Guuaaaaaaaaaaaammmmm.
The 2008 Guam Democratic territorial convention will take place on May 3, 2008. Four pledged delegates are at stake. The entire Democratic primary hinges on this very important contest! Unfortunately I won't be able to follow the results from extremely close race, because May 3 is the maternal unit's birthday. So we know where my priorities are (my mama would be proud!).

We can track the results at this link. Remember to refresh often, as the numbers will most certainly fly in.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guam_Democratic_territorial_convention%2C_2008

Guam is actually named for a large breed of ferocious animals that lived on the island until they were hunted to extinction by Chuck Norris.

ABOUT GUAM

Guam is a gigantic island located in the South Pacific, hidden somewhere in the Mariana Islands (not to be confused with the Marinara Islands whose inhabitants are much more savory and delicious). The Marianas were named after Queen Mariana of Spain and Guam itself was named after her 3' tall toothless servant Bonafacio Isidro Pinche Del Guamo. After Queen Mariana left the island chain to return to her own people, Del Guamo stayed, with the express intention of forming his own colony, where he could practise voodoo.

Guam was acquired by Spain in the 1500's and for 400 years the island was mistaken for the Philippines by various aliens on shore leave. Recently, the indigenous population has been involved in the continuing battle to have themselves recognized by the United States, although for some reason the mainland STILL thinks of them as Filipinos.

Guam is recognized internationally as a breeding farm for Iron Man competitions.

THE HISTORY OF GUAM

It was sometime in 1823 that Oprah landed on Guam, bound for the East Indies with a boat full of slaves, pirate gold and small children named Simon. There, she subjugated the island to her will, changing the native custom of slaughtering black chickens to the black art of resurrecting the dead. It has been rumoured that this was so she could travel back in time, but this has never been proven.

Soon enough there were enough zombies in Guam to require a changing of the Constitution. Where it once said "all men are created equal in the eyes of God", it now reads "all creatures are formed and re-formed, gooey and screaming, equal in the eyes of their creator, the mad witch".

Due to the unsanitary and often downright dangerous working conditions on Guam, the 21st century has seen increasing numbers of zombies travelling to the United States of America searching for a better life.

Unlike their earlier predecessors, who faced ridicule, bullying, and gunshot wounds to the cranium, the "No More Room In Hell Act" has allowed them to stand up and fall apart, proud to be who they are.

KUCINICH ACTUALLY WON THE GUAM PRIMARY

With a campaign infrastructure that has been firmly entrenched in this Pacific Island for well over a year, Kucinich scored what his supporters termed "A hard won victory, with tremendous ramifications for our candidate, and ultimately the nomination to represent the Democratic Party in this fall's election."

Kucinich had installed a staff of twelve people in Guam for over two years, and his candidacy had been heavily supported by the Governor of Guam Felix Perez Camacho and House of Representatives member Madelline Z. Bordallo.

Camacho had this to say to reporters: "Dennis has promised to unite this country more closely to the United States in several ways, most importantly by building a bridge from San Diego to our beautiful island paradise, and this is what we need most."

Representative Bordallo echoed the governor's words by saying: "And Dennis will also work hard to make sure our country is as successful as the legacy he left in Cleveland, Ohio, when he was mayor of that country, even though Cleveland had to declare bankruptcy after he left office."

Guam has a population of 173,000 and the vote totals were as follows: Turnout was estimated to be 4%.

Dennis Kucinich 6,356 votes
Hillary Clinton 548 votes
Barrack Obama 312 votes
Elvis Presley 1,238 votes (annual write in candidate)

Although there are no delegates that can actually nominate at the party's convention, Kucinich appeared ecstatic at his campaign celebration shortly after ABC news called the contest a victory for Kucinich.

Standing (on a stool) at the podium of the Hyatt Regency in Hagatna (Agana), the capital of Guam, Kucinich said "I am well pleased to secure this most important victory for our campaign, now it's off to the Island of Chuuk in the Federated Islands of Micronesia, I am extremely confident in a big victory there as well."

YOUR SENATOR IS A LEVEL 70 DWARF PRIEST

Your senator is probably an adulterous, lying, cheating piece of shit. But if you live on Guam, well, one of your senators is totally awesome. Sen. Ray Tenorio is a level 70 Dwarf Priest in WoW, whose name is Paleray, and who's a member of the Knights of the Marianas on the Silverhand server. And before the dude got hooked on WoW, he was a badass Diablo II player, "where he had several top-level characters of various classes". Taxpayer-funded level-grinding? We can only hope so.

Guam is where they make guam-comole.

Everyone participates, it's mandatory. Takes about six months before they end up playing against a team they've already played against. Their playing cards are unusual as well, made out of burlap glued to sugar cane. They use kitten blood to paint on the hearts and diamonds, and charcoal for the clubs and spades. They don't play spades because the hoarding of the spade cards leaves them with black fingers.

As far as I know.

:D

OP by Rabrrrrrr:

      I am having one of the worst days ever.
Earlier this morning, about 4:00 am, I was having a difficult time sleeping properly. Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of one my coopers working on my estate, and I allowed him and the other coopers to have a celebration in their cottage. Of course, they don't have electricity there (seriously, does anyone allow their household staff to have electricity in their living quarters? I should hope not) so they can't play loud music or anything, and their cottage is about 3 miles away on one of the corners of the estate, but I swear to God that I could hear them playing cards and laughing.

Naturally, I'm used to absolute silence in the night - who isn't, right? I mean, any sensible person immediately fires loud staff.

Anyway... it's about 4:00 am, and I'm having a rough time sleeping because of the excessive noise level, so I have the night valet ring the staff to send the overnight master-suite maidwench to fluff my pillows. Well, it was a good 3 minutes before she showed up. I've told the Head House Parlour-Maid over and over that she must have someone in my wing at ALL hours of the day, so that such intolerable situations do not occur. Three minutes? That's outrageous!!

But she shows up, and fluffs my pillow, and that helps.

But I also tell her that, given the nasty night of sleep I've had, I'll need a complete change of bedding. I'm not going to sleep in the same sheets and blankets and pillow cases that I had a bad night's sleep in! I'm sure you're with me on that one.

And I don't know about you, but the command "Fluff my pillow" has an implicit command also to bring a glass of warm milk, a variety of snacks, and the masseuse. Well, I don't need to tell you that none of the latter arrived with the overnight master-suite maidslattern, as I now think of her.

I let it slide, which I shouldn't have, but every now and again mercy rears its awful head. And, like now, I have never had that happen that I didn't rue it endlessly later on.

x(

So, now tonight, I go to my rooms and discover that my bed has been changed, but instead of my own 30,000 thread count sheets, I've gotten the ridiculously harsh and unbearable 29,500 threadcount sheets that I allow the head butler to use, since he's been good to the family as were his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

There's that part of me that hates to be so strict, but I ask you - would any of you tolerate such things in your lives?

Of course I had the slattern executed, but I feel bad about it.

Maybe it's just the lack of a good night's sleep from last night, addling my brain or something, but I hope you can all understand with me how this day has been utterly without quality.

      Rendell in 11th-Hour Switch to Obama!
** Pittsburgh, PA / April 21, 2008
The Associated Press

_______________________
Gov. Rendell Abandons Clinton for Obama at 11th Hour


In an unprecedented and startling move late today, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, long a stalwart Clinton backer in the Keystone State, announced to members of the local Pittsburgh press his decision to switch his support from Sen. Clinton to Sen. Obama for the Pennsylvania Primary, which is a mere handful of hours away.

"I've just had enough of being tarnished with a corporate fat-cat image," Rendell said, his well-known voice filling the room as reporters hastily scribbled down his remarks. His staff had contacted no media and his comments were off-the-cuff and unscripted, a rarity for Rendell.

"Early on, I figured, what the hell, she's the big name in the race, the star on the marquee, the ticket to a Cabinet slot. Who wouldn't want to ride a showhorse in the big parade?"

Rendell seemed flush with relief as he spoke to reporters, but was peppered with questions about how Senator Clinton responded to his decision, coming as it does at such a critical moment in the nomination race.

"She doesn't know I've made it," Rendell offered. "You folks are the first to know. I imagine some goddam blog or other will have this up on computer screens within the hour."

Asked why he had not announced the decision to Senator Clinton himself, Rendell explained that it was a question of connection. "Look, I called her on the cell phone enroute to the Obama rally here tonight in Pittsburgh, just wanted to talk, you know, but her staff told me she was out duck-hunting and didn't want to be bothered. So I said, 'Well, fuck it, then, I'm endorsing Obama.'"

Well, if Randi Rhodes would just roll over to give John Kerry room to remove his knee from Richard Wolf's wrist, then Tom Daschle could do the splits, but now the New York Times' editorial board's hair is caught in David Schuster's wrist band, so I don't know. sigh I think we need to add another bus.

OP by SoCalDem:

      Back Home in Indiana (Hillary: the Indiana Years)
Ada Mae Cuttlesworth recalls her time as the family neighbor..all those years ago

"That Hillie ..we all called her Hillie back then... she was a pistol..

I remember helping her weed the garden in front of the modest little 2 bedroom clapboard house she lived in.. That first winter they lived there, they were so poor they didn't even have heat, so I had my son Albert chop wood for them..He also used to help pump the outhouse every year or so.. one christmas morning, I sneaked over there and left a basket of presents on the front porch.

She was a modest little girl, so you can imagine our surprise when we learned that she had shot a neighbor's beloved pet duck, back in Scranton, and that's why the family moved to Indiana. She had been running with a rough crowd and got mixed up in gun play and petty shoplifting. I heard that they went brazenly into the barber shop on Main street and stole all the combs from the blue water flask.. at gunpoint..

We started locking our door after that..and I told Albert to stay away from her."

.........................................................

Joe Don White & Betty Lou Johnson were teachers at the grade school she attended recall her antics too.

BJ: She never wanted to be a turner..only a jumper, and all the girls resented her for that. Sometimes she could only get one girl to turn the rope, so she would tie the other end to the wheelchair of a little handicapped girl, and then hunch her shoulders down so she could jump rope

JW: She'd elbow her way to the front of the line at the water fountain and then hold her hand on the drain so it would overflow..and at recess she pushed boys out of the way so she could play tether-ball first.. and dodge-ball? You NEVER wanted to be the one she was throwing the ball at.

BJ: I remember one time when we were playing kickball, and a kid called her a name..she kicked that ball so hard..little Donnie walked funny for a few days

.............................................

John Jackson remembers her as a little girl too. He ran a shoe shine business in front of the old lamar Hotel, downtown.. Little Hillary & her friend would wiz past him on their bikes, and "accidentally" knock all his cans of shoe polish off the table, and scatter them all over the sidewalk.. One time, as he was picking them up, she turned around and "accidentally" ran over his hand.. When he yelled "OUCH!"..she looked back over her shoulder and laughed (as only SHE could laugh) and said.. "Quit WHINING & get back to work"...

..........................

Juanita Jefferson owned the local restaurant and young Hillary applied for a waitress job there, but Juanita saw immediately that she was not waitress material.. She even gave her a try-out, but she kept on hurrying the customers, and telling them to move along, because she needed that table for better tippers. That didn't go over well with the regular customers..and she argued with them too.. said they needed to make up their minds RIGHT NOW.

............................................

Barbara Boudreau was one of Hillary's first bosses at the insurance company... She got the job while still in High school, but it did not work out well, since half the staff quit within a week of Hillary starting work there. She listened in to phone calls, and then called the customers back and told them that the agent who originally contacted them was not trustworthy and that SHE could get them a better deal.. She claimed that she was the ONLY one in the office who could "close the deal".. She only succeeded in pissing them off, so we had to let her go... Then she talked her dad into dropping his policies with us..

.........................................

Frances Witherspoon was Hillary's girl scout leader. She said that Hillary had leadership skills and knew how to set up a campsite, but the other girls were a bit afraid of her. once on a camp-out, she took some of the younger girls on a hike in the woods and two of them "got lost".. Took the National Guard to find those poor little girls.. Hillary claimed that she did not leave them behind on purpose..

.........................

Miss Lula Johannsen was her math teacher, and she said that Hillary often looked out the window and daydreamed in math class.. Once in an argument over a bad test grade, Hillary said. "Math?? Who even NEEDS math.. someday I'll be rich and famous and I'll PAY other people do to MY math"..

2 for moderating, one Visual, and one plain vanilla. Some people would kill for that track record. OK, probably not kill. But certainly be jealous.

91. A poignant reminder of the American tragedy that occurred when
Mr. Blackwell became Ohio Secretary of State.

O, the electoral integrity.

But yes, fashion standards in Ohio no doubt improved. As the state motto itself says: "With God, all things are possible."

Fun fact: Ken Blackwell and I share the same birthday: February 28th! We're both ultra-sleazoid manipulative hypocrites hell-bent on perverting the will of democracy by whatever means are available, with significant funding from the right wing Establishment. How fuckin' cool is that?

The right wing has been very good to you for corrupting so many once fine Democratic minds, as well it should.

The Ohio motto you mention, "With God, all things are possible" overlooks the glaring fact that even Armani--after a visit from the Holy Mother of Christ--couldn't make Blackwell's ass look good. Baby Huey in a speedo would fare better.

125. I'm sorry, all I see is a satirical image posted in a humor thread, not some fundamental outrage
to the whole of womankind. Any more than I see the song-and-dance number, "Springtime for Hitler" as a paen to anti-semitism.

Sometimes stuff is just funny.

I was raised Catholic, utterly steeped in the lore and images of martyrdom. When I was a kid in the 1950s, the nuns at school rewardeed good deeds with "Holy Cards", little printed images of saints -- a great many of them female martyrs, all painted in misty pastels with flowing locks and ecstatic moist-lipped visages, bound with ropes or chains to whichever implement of torture brought about their demise and sainthood.

Stuff like that no doubt twists the mind. So, yeah, I can dig a little Joan of Arc humor without getting my ex-Catholic Buddhist pagan panties in a twist, and feel not the least bit guilty about it.

127. First of all...
"Obama with a rope next to him" would not be the same thing, and I'll tell you why: People never lynched themselves.

On the other hand, people often do "make martyrs of themselves" for various reasons, mostly for some sort of gain or pleasure or psychological catharsis. When someone is called a martyr in that context, it is not their violent end that is the point.

That's what that artwork depicts. violence is assiduously avoided in that painting so as to DETRACT from violent implications. No flames searing her flesh, no agonized expression, no fear.

Her serene expression pleads for sympathy for all that has been done to her simply because she is on the side of the angels. Just as in any painting of the martyrs in the past.

It is more about Clinton's hopes that you will blame others for her fate, rather than concentrate on how she may have reasonably created her own fate. All arguments are reduced to mere "Hillary hatred". She is being martyred for siding with the angels.

And now, Sacheen Little Feather--back to the nearly martyr-free DUzies...

139. Whoa! "It is more about Clinton's hopes that you will blame others for her fate, rather than
concentrate on how she may have reasonably created her own fate. All arguments are reduced to mere
"Hillary hatred."

Have you just been sitting on that little gem all this time, or what?

93. Thank you, tandot. That means an awful lot to me.
I hate to whine, but the past few weeks have been an editorial minefield. I know the Clinton supporters are heavily outnumbered here and the cheap shots and knockout punches can seem a little one-sided, but there are many - rug, Perry, Maddy, maddie, many others - who keep a sense of humor and a willingness to engage in good old-school message board snark without taking themselves too seriously. But the seriousness of their allegiance to Senator Clinton is worthy of respect. Mostly, though, they make me laugh, and I love them for it.

106. JeffR - Thanks for another so-so week of somewhat humorous remarks from assorted people.*
*Please note that the less DUzys one wins, the less enthusiastic and effusive the congratulations to you
seem to be. Although that may be very un-Christ-like - hey, I never claimed to be Mother Theresa.

My haul (in case you missed the innuendo): Zero. Nada. Zilch. Zip. Plunk.

All that funniness, flown out the DU window of fame and dispelled like particles into humor heaven without ever having lived.

Oh, well.

Nice job. (Sort of).

137. JeffR - Oh, thanks so much for printing the suggestion for special kudos to grantcart!
I would've thanked you earlier but I didn't notice it until my 5th visit to this thread (so I'm wondering
if perhaps other people didn't see it, either). It sort of blended into the background for me because I wasn't
expecting it to be where it was!

Anyway - much deserved praise for grantcart's Robeson piece. I've sent it to many people and, each time
I do, I read the entire thing again, start to finish. And it's still a pleasure.

And, really, JeffR, thanks for the Herculean effort you put forth every week. Our lives would be diminished
without you!
