Poll question: Is it possible to have too many threads dedicated to the Walmart tragedy?
Anger. Outrage. Disgust. Shock. Righteous indignation.

Is it all too much?

1. DU always needs something to obsess about, so there can never be too many threads.
The upside is that they are not about Palin.

3. Imagine if Rev. Jim Wright had been giving a fiery speech in the Walmart as the doors opened...
... and Ann Coulter was translating the speech into sign for the hearing impaired, and Obama had just announced that he did not favor arresting and hanging those opposed to all abortions.

It would have been HUGH!!

7. Can you imagine the ad for this? "Doors open at 5 am...."
"... Tofu: 23 cents per pound!

Free range soy milk: $7.50 per gallon!

Friday ONLY! Quantities limited!!!!"

9. You don't think it can happen?
Early this month there were people killed in China when a grocery store had a sale on cooking oil

Free range soy? That's impossible. All soybeans are held in bondage by their plants. AND THAT'S WRONG!

10. they'd better have Kobe beef on sale for 50 cents a pound
Who the hell would line up at 5 am for TOFU? Now Kobe Beef, or some other really expensive cut of meat -- people will start lining up DAYS before the door opens.

12. If you can find a way to link this tragedy to either Clinton, post it in GD:P.
Wait 5 minutes, then post it again. Continue throughout the day. At least one (and probably more) of your threads are guaranteed to wind up on the Greatest page.

13. Maybe a missing blonde woman at Wal Mart?
We're long past the "too many Wal Mart threads" mark.

We're deep into oversaturation.

17. This is a push poll.
The ultimate push poll has only one answer.

My favorite is the Rhetorical Poll in which no options are offered.
