For God sake....this was posted at least 10 times last night....frankly I don't care even though I believe it was over the low score of Jennifer Grey, she danced her legs off and it deserved higher from the judges....

Anyhow this type of discussion does not get another American back to work....does not explain to those not well educated on Obamacare its benefits.....does not help save a home from foreclosure.....does not explain how 8 years of Bush tax cuts doubled our unemployment rate to what it is today....and the list goes on...

Mainly when the PUGS come lurkin here they see that we are no different then they....lets stay focused.

1. Well, that's what the Lounge is for...

I think there's an "entertainment" forum as well.

2. Starting a new thread about something to complain about the

other threads about the same thing seldom has a good result. These things burn themselves out on their own lack of merit. Letting the subject fade away is usually the best idea.

3. “Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown” n/t

4. Sturgeon's Law..

Ninety percent of everything is crud..

And ol' Ted was a flaming optimist, the real score is closer to ninety nine percent.

Why would it be any different here on DU?

7. Send an alert

It probably should have been tagged for being in the wrong forum.

8. Click on the little x in the square, or scroll past the subject line to one

you approve of.

9. I'd like the option

to do that with whole groups and forums. Some I have no interest in. Some I think are a frickin waste of time. And some just make me mad most of the time.

10. I thought like you at first but...

I am beginning to like stuff like this, at least it is a break from all the anti-Obama/Democrats threads that seem to dominate these days.

11. So you think that perpetuating the discussion with your little diatribe is good why, exactly?

People discuss lots of things here, and most around here are capable of multitasking, rubbernecking the train wreck that is all things Palin and concentrating on more serious topics. If you don't like such threads, ignore them, don't click on them. Geez, I don't know what is so difficult about that.

Hell, one could make a good claim that even watching vacuous, vapid programming like DWTS makes people like freepers, rotting their brain out, turning it to mush. But that's a different topic altogether.

12. The 08 Republican line up.

Is dong reality TV and selling reverse mortgages on cable. That is fully worth noting. It is not usual, even for Republicans, for major political figures to be so openly in need of cash and wandering so fully in the woods so quickly. Fred Thompson- since he did not get to be President, he's hawking financial products to the elderly on TV. This speaks volumes.

13. Classic rubbernecker discussion...

I just ignore them.

14. Hide thread works.

I don't see any issue with that type of thread if it's in the Lounge or Entertainment, although a few were in GD. (I even posted in a few---gasp! :P).

16. Another one for your tally sheet
