1. Up Yours!

That's hilarious. Is it real?

[asthmaticeog]

2. If it's real, I LOVE IT, and they're totally forgiven for going MOR/Minivan-rock in the '80s. nt

[PeaceNikki]

3. I'm trying to determine its authenticity.

I love it.

[eShirl]

[PeaceNikki]

14. So, does that mean that it is real?

I'm not familiar with that site. Is it for real or a spoof?

[ThePhoenix]

13. It's from The Stranger

Spoof. Too bad. It's a good'un, too.

16. Who's the smilin' puddy?

I'm trying to create an avatar out of my fat, orange tabby. Does yours drool, too, when he's happy?

6. Is this for real? n/t

[PeaceNikki]

8. I'm not sure. This is on Wikipedia

Roger Fisher, (founding band member and one of the five co-writers of the song), was reported to be "thrilled" by the song's use, as the publicity it generated allowed him to endorse Barack Obama's campaign to a much bigger audience, and the additional royalties generated allowed him to make a bigger donation to Obama's campaign. (The song is licensed for use in public performances under a blanket fee paid to ASCAP by the Republican National Convention; the Xcel Energy Center's ASCAP license itself did not cover non-sporting events

10. not sure, but I think this one is

19. No. It's a joke website. NT

[PeaceNikki]

21. Well, it may be fake, but the facts are true.

Sony BMG did http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/05/mccain-palin-embrace-barracuda/">send a cease and desist and they are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_(band)#2008">using the royalties generated to donate to Obama campaign.

[asthmaticeog]

24. It's not a joke website. The Stranger is a real newspaper with real, non-joke news.

It just has an admirably fucked up sense of humor.

9. They forgot Ted Nugent!!!

[shadowknows69]

11. As if I didn't love those two women enough already

That was an epic insult. No wonder Cindy hit the pills? Brutal.

[janethussein]

17. PRICELESS !

I have tears running down my face I'm laughing so hard.

:rofl:

[Eric J in MN]

18. It's a joke. They didn't really write that.

Check out the article below:

"I Got Drunk and Blew 3/4 of Van Halen" by Sarah Palin.

20. "We'd rather rim Meatloaf. Seriously"

:rofl:

[Va Lefty]

27. They had me thinking it was real until that!

[PeaceNikki]

22. OK it looks like a spoof, but the facts are true.

Sony BMG did http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/05/mccain-palin-embrace-barracuda/">send a cease and desist and they are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_(band)#2008">using the additional royalties generated to donate to Obama campaign.

[Unbowed]

25. Ladies, you rock! In more ways than one. n/t

[arthritisR_US]

28. oh fuck I love these 2 women!!!! n/t

[yewberry]

29. The Stranger is a real Seattle weekly newspaper.

The Wilson sisters do live here (some of the time, anyway).

The article may be a spoof (hard to say at this point), but the paper's real.

30. "Old Fart"? Cool! I hate old people too.

They should euthanize all oldsters immediately.

[PeaceNikki]

31. umm... one can be "old" without being a "fart".

I think this was a joke about McCain, not old people in general.

[tuckessee]

32. I figured "if you can't beat 'em join 'em".

Hatred and slurs against old people are currently rampant on DU and I just want to fit in.

[Maat]

33. Go, Wilson Sisters!

Woohoo! Snap! Sending this to Hubby downstairs ('cause at least part of it's true - Roger Fisher is donating his proceeds)!

:rofl:

[AtomicKitten]

35. They are admittedly awesome.
