BUSH PARDONS BLAGOJEVICH

[ThisThreadIsSatire]

Buys Senate Seat for First-Lady

In a development that blindsided all but their closest mutual friends, President Bush issued a “full complete, and absolute” Christmas Day pardon to Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. True to the spirit of holiday season ‘pay to play’ tradition, Blagojevich later announced that he and the President had “reached an agreement in principle” and would announce his appointment of First-Lady Laura Bush to fill the Senate seat vacated by President-Elect Barack Obama, “as soon as the funds clear.”

10. I couldn't resist since it's an example of getting past spellcheck!

or maybe you were being ironic and it went over my head.

11. No, you were right...

'desperate' and 'proud' don't mix -- it was my not being on top of it (as opposed to clever)...

My 'pieces' are ironic (although I aspire to 'satire') (rhyme totally unintentional)

my responses, as you can see, are more 'off the cuff'...

Let me guess -- you be's a english majur two? (or perhaps a friend of my mother...)

please forgive extensive parentheses -- DU reads brackets as html (!)

3. Looking for a little help...

Someone suggested the other day that I add a 'satire face' to these posts... I'm new, and have no idea how -- and am getting 'negative feedback' from elsewhere because link was copied from here and some people (must be careful readers) actually think this is real...

4. Is there hope for the humor-impaired?

Whoever's giving you static oughta lighten up. Your post is funny.

I dunno what a "satire face" is. Maybe it's this thing? ;-)

You can choose from a bunch of these little winkydinks by clicking the "Smilies lookup table" when you post your message, then cutting and pasting from the choices there.

But again, if people can't figure out your post was humorous, I don't know if you can really help them...

By the way, welcome to DU!!

:hi:

5. I'm Honored...

First of all Mr. Ed -- I'm a huge fan of your show! Please give my regards to Wilbur...

I saw the look up table and figured I must be an idiot because I have no idea what each one means.

Thanks so much for your kind words -- I'm thrilled to find a place with so many others like me who have probably been called 'Un-American' by the Bushies and the far right.

Happy New Year, and may 2009 bring the end of so many of our countrymen considering 'liberal' a dirty word!
