Three Iowa State students remain hospitalized today with alcohol poisoning after participating in a post-caucus drinking game.
"We were watching Barack Obama," said student Randall Caughlin, "and someone suggested we take a drink every time he says 'Change'. Then we started drinking on 'Hope'."
"Next thing I knew, I woke up in the emergency room."
Iowa Board of Health Chairwoman Cheryll Jones said that this was the worst political drinking accident since the Republican National Convention, when 9/11-themed drinking games resulted in seven deaths nationwide.
Jones warned revelers to beware of rules that could lead to dangerous levels of consumption. "If you're drinking every time Huckabee says 'Jesus' or McCain says 'bomb', you're asking for trouble."
She suggested that if you must drink to political speeches, to restrict your sips to actual policy statements. An even safer approach is to only drink to speeches by Hillary Clinton or Mitt Romney, who rarely say anything of consequence.

If we are too rash the republicans may retaliate by rushing us into an unprovoked war or set up detention camps on some island in the Caribbean. Unless we keep our heads, the corporations may shift thousands of jobs overseas and the government may impose draconian travel restrictions. The country is not ready to remove its socks at airports. First we must struggle to recover our right to wear shoes. I have emailed our Speaker on exactly this point.
So please think long and hard, friends, before we rush into this business of selecting our nominee. The country needs a pasty heterosexual man Democrat to soothe our countrymen and countrywomen and allay their fears before we take the next step toward meaningful change.

Beck went in for hemorrhoid surgery and experienced breathing problems while he was at the outpatient facility. His doctors put him on a drug cocktail to ease his pain.
'I had the best doctors,' Beck said on 'Good Morning America' today. 'I had problem with medications.'
The doctors warned Beck he only had two options.
'You've got a choice: more pain or more drugs,' Beck said his doctors told him. At the time Beck wasn't aware of all the medications he was ingesting..."

Three members of the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church, known for protests at military funerals, are demonstrating about a block from St. Luke Evangelical Lutheran Church, the site of the service.
The demonstrators say the deaths are God's retribution against the community for a recent $11 million jury award against the Kansas group. A federal jury in Baltimore made the award in October to Albert Snyder, of York, Pa., who sued after the group protested his son's military funeral in Maryland.
Demonstrator Fred Phelps says the community is going to 'pay the price' for persecuting his group for preaching the word of God..."

You have the real funeral in one spot, but then have the "faux funeral" in another.
in hopes that these dolts protest the wrong funeral.
and to top it off, because it's a faux funeral, have someone in the faux casket, get out of it, dressed like a zombie and run after the protesters. :evilgrin:

The quote was part of a list Obama sent reporters of Keyes' accusations and epithets about him since Keyes became a candidate, NBC5 political editor Dick Kay said.
Kay also reported that Keyes called Obama a 'socialist and a liar' on a cable access news show on Monday. Obama said he wants to win big to give Keyes a spanking because Keyes wages a scorched earth campaign. Keyes then went into a very long analysis of the word 'spanking' and suggested it might be related to slavery and insulting to African- Americans. He would not answer when asked directly if he was insulted..."

You gotta admit, having no referees makes for one exciting football game. The Profiteers quarterback, Billy McBobby, having won the Heistman Trophy through some questionable balloting, was in great form. He threw 17 touchdown passes in the first 9 quarters. But the Torturers had their star running back, Shameless Cheater, run for over 550 yards and 12 touchdowns in the first 7 quarters. I'm glad Fox Sports carried it because nobody calls a game better than the "fair & balanced" network. What an ending.

Bush, the U.S. President, is prone to bouts of crying caused by the stress of his job and claims to have seen ghosts emerge from the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House, according to a new book on
his presidency.
In a series of remarkably candid admissions by a sitting president, Mr. Bush confides to author John Draper he has been 'sustained by the discipline of the faithful experience' during the most difficult days
of his presidency.
(snip)
The book casts Mr. Bush as disengaged - almost uninterested - as Hurricane Katrina approached the Gulf Coast on Aug. 28, 2005. On the day before the hurricane struck New Orleans, he spent a day riding his
mountain bike and swimming on his ranch in Crawford, Tex. By the time he joined an emergency video conference about Katrina, he was so 'gassed' by his physical exertion he did not ask any questions about the
federal government's preparedness, the book says.
(snip)
After exercising in a White House gym one evening, he told a friend he froze in his steps while approaching the Lincoln Bedroom. Mr. Bush insists 'he saw ghosts - coming out of the wall,' according to the

Hi ho, pagans! I'm the happiest man in Springfield, yes siree. I have finally found a man among swine who will lead us to the promised land. Just six months ago, I was certain that we, as a country, we done
diddly done for. Gone diggidy goners. I looked at the Democratic field of presidential candidates, and prayed that these devils in men's clothing (and a pant suit is a man's clothing) be delivered from us.
And I looked at the sinful card of Republicans and asked, "Can I vote for these horrible creatures?" The answer was nopeity negatorium. I just can't dang diddly do dang darn doodly ding dang do it! My noggin
was a floggin.
And then the hand of our Lord delivered to us an inspiration. The Hope from Hope. I looked at that man and shouted, "Hey diddly deedle. This man is my salvation!" And that's why I'm the happiest man in
Springfield. It is with a song in my heart and crucifix in my pocket that I point with joy and give my hardy hearty ho ho support for Mike Hucka-bucka-ducka-bee.
Asked for comment about this stunning development, Mr. Huckabee responded, "Ned Beatty? Isn't he dead? What? Ned Flanders? Who?"
However, when Mitt Romney heard the news, he became enraged and bellowed, "That sonofabitch! I knew he'd turn on me. How do you think that asshole would like being tied to the roof of my car for a brisk
drive down I-9 at 80 mph. He'd shit himself."

what's Howard Finemann got to do with this?GDP, January 10, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4027823 On a thread by gaiilonfong: Camille Paglia gets the REAL Hillary"Hillary's willingness to tolerate Bill's compulsive philandering is a function of her general contempt for men. She distrusts them and feels morally superior to them. Following the pattern of her
long-suffering mother, she thinks it is her mission to endure every insult and personal degradation for a higher cause -- which, unlike her self-sacrificing mother, she identifies with her near-messianic
personal ambition.
It's no coincidence that Hillary's staff has always consisted mostly of adoring women, with nerdy or geeky guys forming an adjunct brain trust. Hillary's rumored hostility to uniformed military men and some
Secret Service agents early in the first Clinton presidency probably belongs to this pattern. And let's not forget Hillary, the governor's wife, pulling out a book and rudely reading in the bleachers during
University of Arkansas football games back in Little Rock..."

I'm not an HRC fan, but I'd vote for her 100 times before I'd take advice from Paglia.If I had a choice between listening to Camille Paglia for ten minutes,
or kissing Hillary Clinton's ass on national TV...

GD, January 10, 2008: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2650740 On a thread by 7 of 11: Help me out with this scenario and win a carrot: A twilight zone order of successionBloomberg enters the race with Al gore as independents , Obama allies with Clinton, and McCain takes along Guiliani. We have a near three way tie and no one gets a majority count in the electoral college.
The college defaults and the vote goes to congress. But the candidates have so many friends there that they can't break a tie either. Swearing in day comes and goes and the Presidency goes to Pelosi or does
it.
Now Let's take it a bit further: Say Pelosi and Robert Byrd both lose or retire. Now we don't have a Prez or Vice Prez or Speaker or Pro-tempore. The cabinet is now vacant because they have all resigned as
expected. So who the hell minds the store?

Just like a real DUzy, but much, much cheaper...OP by Oeditpus Rex: The DUzy Awards are a near-perfect example of American democracy in actionTwenty-three people nominated posts for the latest round of DUzies. That's a tad less than .02 percent of DU's 112,370 registered members.
Conclusion: There's a ton o' seriously funny stuff around here that's not gettin' its propers.
I propose that overlooked element of DU hilarity be termed "Kuciniches" and those 23 people "the MSM."

I see you've been following my posts closely and noticing how out-of-proportion the number of DUzys I've received are vis-a-vis the total tonnage of titilation I've contributed to on this here site.
Some weeks, I've had the krap Kuciniched out of me, been kicked to the kurb and my spirit krushed.

I'm thinking of starting up a kind of Morris Agency for would-be, wannabe DU comics...I'd say 'stand-up comics', but clearly only a few are likely actually standing while shouting this shit from across the room via some voice activation script of some kind in that oft times only every 3 to 5 words are funny in the least; so I'll be representing
sit-down comics and no I'm not talking like Bob Newhart on a stool with just a phone receiver in his hand sans cord rolling his eyes in the course of answering his own questions, no...
I'm talking folks that are
true diamonds, or diamonds in the rough laboriously tippy-tapping away at their, presumably, ergonomic keyboards with every other good intent & intention well in their tiny little lion hearts cept the poor dears simply have no representation, you know...
Someone to send that friendly email into the bowels of the DU power structure itself, the tender, creative criticism we all need so vitally, the warm, fuzzily suggested 'spit cup take', or hi-larry-ass drop of the pants in cyber public, yeah! That's the ticket!!
This world *needs* funny, and DU is dropping the funny ball.
