Welcome to the bailout-worthy DUzy Awards, a compendium of star-spangled amusement from this week on DU. Congratulations to this week's winners!

The DUzy Awards will be announced every Friday, if I get around to it. Previous awards can be found in my journal.

Note to Mods: Skinner has authorized the DUzy Awards to be posted in GD.

Special thanks to dixiegrrrrl, CaliforniaPeggy, KarenS, awoke_in_2003, scarletwoman, hootinholler, KamaAina, DinahMoeHum, rosesaylavee, wryter2000, ColbertWatcher, liberaltrucker, northofdenali, Crisco and NanceGreggs for their invaluable assistance with this edition.

Poll question by faygokid:

      Sarah Palin has done it again. Everybody is talking about her. What's her next stunt?
Don't tell me that Sarah didn't know what was going on behind her. She will do anything to stay in the limelight - anything - and she is succeeding. Her "base" just wishes it was us here at DU being fed into the grinders.

As she grows more and more desperate for attention, what do you think her next live, totally disgusting backdrop will be?

On a thread by marmar:

      3 men plead not guilty to digging up grave to have sex with dead woman
"LANCASTER, Wis. — Three men accused of trying to dig up a grave in Cassville in order to have sex with a dead woman have entered not guilty pleas in Grant County Circuit Court.

The case against twin brothers, Alex and Nicholas Grunke, and Dustin Radke, was reinstated last July by the state Supreme Court. The high court ruled Wisconsin law bans sex with dead bodies. A lower court earlier ruled nothing in state law banned necrophilia.

Armed with shovels, a crowbar and a box of condoms, prosecutors say the men went to a cemetery in Cassville in 2006 to remove the body of a 20-year-old woman killed the week before in a motorcycle crash.

All three entered not guilty pleas to party to attempted sexual assault, attempted theft and attempted criminal damage to a cemetery."

response #3 by napoleon_in_rags:

      OMG! 100% of Obama's Administration have connections to the Clintons!

response #8 by Median Democrat:

      Exactly, We Should Hire A Cabinet...
From the members of this survivalist cult in New Mexico that has been living in a bomb shelter since 1990. They have never even heard of the Clintons, thus they are untainted, and represent real change!

The only problem is that we will convert federal budget spreadsheets to Lotus 1-2-3, and explain that folks with blue tooth headsets are not the Borg.

Theys always walken round talken like theys so smart jus becuz they knows more stuf than me.

You know, if these people's stereotypes about liberals are correct, somewhere there's a gay immigrant being smuggled across the border in the trunk of a Prius, doctoral dissertation written in Arabic in her pocket instead of a Bible, hellbent on replacing that statue of a bull on Wall Street with a statue of Marx made from recyclable materials.

response #13 by scarletwoman:

      And after that, she'll burn a flag and get an abortion.

response #17 by liberalpress:

      after hugging a tree while drinking a latte

response #19 by Dr_eldritch:

      Ok you guys....
Stop picking on my sister!

She finishes her latte before hugging the tree just to make sure she doesn't burn or stain the tree.
She got her 7th abortion first and then burned the flag while the little 'pro-life' girl was holding it outside the clinic.
The car she was smuggled in was driven by a guy with priapism. Her doctorate was written in Satanic verse, and it was on how to turn babies gay in the womb... and it's the Washington monument she wants to replace with a foam-peanut sculpture of The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Geez... it's like everyone she talks to has a different version of what she said while she was giving them a lap-dance.

OP by styersc :

Obama's misogynistic slight of Hillary will backfire on him.
It just pisses me off that Obama can look at a talented and educated woman like Senator Clinton and all he can think to do is make her a Secretary!!!!

Talk about stereotypes.

response #12 by TlalocW:

If you want to talk about stereotypes
What about having a Black man clean up a mess a bunch of Whites made?

      Couple sues McDonald's over nude photos on Web: Hubby left phone with wife's naked pictures at McDs
"A Bella Vista couple found out the hard way that when a wife sends nude pictures of herself to her husband's cell phone, these pictures can end up on the Internet.

Phillip and Tina Sherman filed a lawsuit Friday against McDonald's Corp.; Mathews Management Co., which owns the McDonald's franchise on Sixth Street in Fayetteville; and Aaron Brummley, a manager of the restaurant.

The Shermans seek more than $ 3 million in damages after nude photos of Tina Sherman were posted on a Web site and she received threatening and harassing text and phone messages, according to the lawsuit.

Phillip Sherman on July 5 left his cell phone in the McDonald's restaurant. His wife had previously sent nude pictures of herself to this cell phone for his own use, according to the complaint..."

      Alan Colmes Leaving Hannity
"FOX News Channel’s (FNC) Alan Colmes will relinquish his role as co-host of Hannity & Colmes at the end of the year.

In announcing his decision, Colmes said, 'I approached Bill Shine (FNC’s Senior Vice President of Programming) earlier this year about wanting to move on after 12 years to develop new and challenging ways to contribute to the growth of the network. Although it’s bittersweet to leave one of the longest marriages on cable news, I’m proud that both Sean (Hannity) and I remained unharmed after sitting side by side, night after night for so many years...'"

FOX News Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Roger Ailes added, 'Alan is one of the key reasons why FOX News has been such a remarkable success. We’re sad to see him leave the program but we look forward to his ongoing contributions to the network...'"

response #2 by IanDB1:

      Alan, show me on this doll what Hannity did to you. n/t

response #3 by Patsy Stone:

      "Alan is one of the key reasons why FOX News has been such a remarkable success."

response #34 by Buzz Clik:

      How hard will it be to find a bucket of sand to replace him?

response #44 by happychatter:

      that's like the Washington Generals leaving the Harlem Globetrotters

response #52 by rhett o rick:

      I heard Michael Savage needed a liberal to be sacrificed live on his show. Alan was only one with

      Police Want to Know Who Left Piano in Massachusetts Forest
"HARWICH, Mass. — Harwich police have a musical mystery on their hands: Who left a piano in the middle of the woods? And why?

The Baldwin piano discovered in the Bells Neck woods appears to be in perfect working condition and had a matching bench as if it had recently been played.

The piano was discovered Saturday by a woman walking along a path inside a conservation area at the woods.

Another question police would like to answer is how the piano got to such a remote location. The piano is heavy and it took more than a half dozen men to load it onto a truck to remove it.

Police said they've notified other police departments in the area to see if anyone has reported a missing piano..."

response #3 by rucky:

      If someone leaves a piano in the woods...
and nobody was around to see it, did someone really leave the piano?

      Conservatory, conservation area, it's close enough.
But what I'd be worried about, is when a naked Harvey Keitel will appear. It's a given.

OP by NightWatcher:

Bush operatives caught ripping copper plumbing out of the walls of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
(file under: Stories I expect to read next month)

Reporters have observed and documented numerous Bushco henchmen loading pipes ripped from the walls and floors of the White House into unmarked trucks destined for scrap metal recycling yards. With copper fetching more than one dollar sixty cents per pound, estimates put the haul near three thousand dollars in this load alone. This story goes hand in hand with recent eBay and Craigslist ads traced back to White House IP addresses offering deals on limousines with some sort of "eagle logo" on the sides. Calls placed to the Government Accounting Office were answered by a breathy female who first demanded that we provide a credit card number before she would provide comment. After five minutes reporters determined that they were not going to get the answers they were looking for and therefore ended the call twenty minutes later.

I hate to admit this, but I bag my own groceries, use the self check-out
when available, and return my cart to the cart corral or the front of the store...

response #127 by Bucky:

You're creating jobs for computer repairmen whenever you use the self check out
I usually kick them, jam up their paper receipts, or scratch the glass surfaces, just to help the job market grow.

      I suspect there are alot of Repubs thinking what if the India attacks had happened 1 month earlier.
I wonder how that would have played out. I am sure McCain would have tried to make political hay out of it, but I doubt it would have made any difference.

response #2 by CitizenPatriot:

      after someone informed Palin where Mumbai was
she would have gone on international TV saber-rattling the Indians. She'd never apologize for having gotten it wrong, either, just say "and there, too, with them wanting the democracy following there the people who are desiring of their government to put aside there and get movin in the not looking at which side you're on or whether someone got the name of the terrorists right because we're all terrorists there and again, as I've said, just gettin in there and helpin'..."

On a thread by Ichingcarpenter:

      2,700-year-old marijuana stash found
"Researchers say they have located the world's oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China.

The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly 'cultivated for psychoactive purposes,' rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

The 789 grams of dried cannabis was buried alongside a light-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man, likely a shaman of the Gushi culture, near Turpan in northwestern China.

The extremely dry conditions and alkaline soil acted as preservatives, allowing a team of scientists to carefully analyze the stash, which still looked green though it had lost its distinctive odour..."

      Accused Attacker Beaten With Candy Cane
"A man who allegedly threatened neighbors with a knife on Thanksgiving was beaten with a large decorative candy cane wielded by a bystander, Sacramento police said.

The incident began in Del Paso Heights when Donald Kercell, 49, became drunk and then got angry, Sgt. Norm Leong said.

snip

Leong said Kercell swung the knife and went after some people, adding that some of those being chased suffered minor injuries.

A bystander picked up a 2-foot-long candy cane decoration, smacked Kercell with it and disarmed him, Leong said..."
