You know what, I'm going to say it. This is the most positive I've seen DU in quite a few months

I recognize names I haven't seen posting in a long time posting again. I see people who have been very ambivalent about the last two years enjoying a few victories, and, dare I say it, there is a bit of a Democratic swagger happening again.

It won't last for long, especially with the incoming congress, but, for now, it is nice to see such unified joy in sharing in some civil, social and international victories.

1. Humbug. Humbug, I say.

A poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every December 25th.

7. Well I guess it is because of DADT being done away with.

And now that we have that it does not matter if the rich again fuck us over and kill SS and all the social programs....those are just minor points....in the "deal" we gave up our financial future and they gave up almost nothing of importance to them.

9. And there are like a dozen or so negative posts on the maing GDP page.

Which tells ya something. (I agree with you btw.)

10. It's also the quietest it's been in years.

It seems dead around here. Even the most popular posts only get a few replies.

Where did everyone go? :shrug:

11. It's a Festivus miracle!

Tomorrow, the airing of the grievances will resume.

12. We'll all be on the same team when the corporate agents take over the House.

We'll be in perpetual amazement at how much more they'll try to squeeze bloodless turnips for the sake of more corporate profit.
