On a thread by MookieWilson:

      Dick Cheney even lies about his dog's health.
On February 8th, the Washington Post reported this in the Reliable Source:

"Dick Cheney taking his dog to the vet Wednesday afternoon via his usual massive security motorcade. The veep's yellow lab, Dave -- the one dressed as Superman for Halloween -- went to Friendship Animal Hospital for a routine checkup."

Word has come out that his dog died. Does he have more than one dog or does he feel compelled to lie about his dog's health?

response #1 by Lastlaughin08:

      When is Dick due for routine checkup?
Just dreamin'..........

response #4 by DearAbby:

      Actually Cheney took Dave Quail Hunting..
Ordered the dog to flush out the birds, and Cheney shot him in the face, it's reported the dog apologized, before being put down.

On a thread by babylonsister:

Bush Won’t Expess Opinions On Genocide Olympics: ‘I View The Olympics As A Sporting Event’
"During a recent interview with the BBC, President Bush boasted that the United States is the 'only nation' to have called the situation in Darfur 'genocide.'

Yet later in the interview, Bush was asked if he would 'applaud' Steven Speilberg’s recent decision to withdraw as artistic director of the Beijing Olympics because China is not doing enough to pressure Sudan to end the genocide in Darfur. 'That’s up to him,' Bush said dismissively, adding, 'I’m going to the Olympics. I view the Olympics as a sporting event.'

Bush took a subtle jab at human rights activists who will want to 'opine' during the Olympics. 'I mean, you got the Dalai Lama crowd. You’ve got global warming folks. You’ve got, you know, Darfur,' he said. 'I am not gonna you know, go and use the Olympics as an opportunity to express my opinions to the Chinese people in a public way...'”

response #1 by ocelot:

"The Dalai Lama crowd"?
What a condescending, dismissive asshole! What a putz, douche, fuckwit, assbag, diddlefart, whistleass, whatever else you can think of. Every time that buttwipe opens his mouth he says something stupid, obnoxious and embarrassing. I can hardly wait until his ugly ass is back at the pig farm.

OP by NanceGreggs:

      DU Addiction - The Warning Signs
You refer to management-level people at your workplace as mods and admins.

You use “rofl” as a word, e.g., “The first time I heard that joke, I couldn’t stop rofling.”

When engaged in a group discussion at a party, you reiterate someone else’s comment by saying, “I totally agree with Reply #7.”

Your favorite pick-up line in a bar is “Why don’t you PM me sometime?”

If your friend has dated a new love interest more than five times, you refer to their relationship as being “off to the Greatest Page”.

When you want the last word in a discussion, you end your final comment with “N/T”, or “EOM”.

You describe events in the recent past as being “upthread”.

You’ve actually described the reason for ending a relationship with the words, “I’m totally GDP, and he’s strictly Lounge.”

You refer to your dumped ex lovers as having been “tombstoned”.

Your idea of a “mixed marriage” is someone from the Photography Group marrying someone from the Pets Group.

You dismiss condescending people by thanking them for their concern.

You indicate your desire to remember something by saying, “I’m going to journal that.”

You actually use the phrase “This is hugh, and I’m series” when conveying something of importance.

You refer to dead-end relationships as having been “a link to nowhere”.

You address your spouses’ parents as “Fil and Mil”, because you think those are actually their names.

You can’t remember your own license plate or phone number – but you can rattle off the email address of every Congressman and Senator without even thinking about it.

When given a juicy piece of office gossip, you judge its credibility by asking who the OP of the rumor was.

You never see anything underlined in print without trying to “click” on it.

You never see anything printed in blue without thinking someone is responding to something you’ve said.

You’ve used the names Condasleazy, Gonzo, Rummy and McLame so often, you have to Google in order to remember their real names.

You refer to suspicious people as “low post count” or “no profile”.

When starting a conversation about something that interests you, anyone who attempts to change the subject is referred to as having “hijacked your thread”.

You tend to startle people at cocktail parties by yelling “kicked” when they say something you agree with.

You quit your last job by posting a “Why I’m Leaving _____” rant on the company website.

Instead of filing for divorce, you had your lawyer send his lawyer a fax entitled “Welcome to Ignore”.

You have disrupted political conversations in a restaurant by warning people at the next table that they are about to surpass their three-topic per evening limit.

When your toddler speaks for the first time, you proudly announce to his grandparents that he’s started “posting”.

You plan to name your next baby IH8TGOP, NeedMoreRecs, or NoFlameBait.

Remember – there is still no known cure for DU addiction. Post at your own peril.

response #10 by ZombieHorde:

      Your lover tells you that they wish that they were DU.

response #20 by cbayer:

      Mine thinks I am in a cult. nt.

response #63 by hisownpetard:

      Oh, and - when making love, at that crucial moment, you yell out, "K&R!!!!"

response #23 by jgraz:

      My own warning sign (true story)
I was ranting to my brother about all the crap * has pulled and what a dumbfuck * is and how much I hate *. He interrupts me and says, "Dude, who the fuck is 'star'?"

response #37 by scarletwoman:

      You introduce yourself to someone by your DU username. (nt)

response #40 by Lars39:

      I almost signed a Get-Well card as Lars39.
:blush:

response #41 by DeeDeeNY:

      You sarcastically tell someone spouting Republican talking points
"Enjoy your stay"!!!

:rofl:

(I now have my hubby referring to Chris Matthews as "Tweety"!!)

response #52 by The Straight Story:

      Thanks for your concern....
;)

response #53 by CaliforniaPeggy:

      My dear Nance!
I'm rofling!

Perfect!

There's only one cure for DU addiction: the same as for wanting to be President:

Embalming fluid... :scared:

response #54 by eppur_se_muova:

      You belatedly remember that "casting asparagus" is ONLY AN EXPRESSION.

response #56 by DearAbby:

      When the dog dumps trash on the kitchen floor....
you yell at your dh..."YOU LIHOP"...or WORSE..."MIHOP!11!!"

response #99 by soonerhoosier:

      This thread needs a song.
“Before DU”
To the tune of Kelly Clarkson’s “Because Of You”

I will not post the same LBN that you did
I will not let myself
Call anyone a lurking Freep
I won’t deride your low post count
(It’s only three)
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Before DU
I never heard of Philip Parlock
Before DU
I really thought that Tweety was nothin’ but a cartoon bird
Before DU
I found it hard to trust not only Bush*, but everyone around him
Because of you
That’s still the case

I start a thread
And it's not too long before it sinks like stone
I cannot kick
Because I know that's bad form in your eyes
I've written posts
that say “hey gang, can we impeach him now?”
But how can he be impeached
When he wasn't elected to start with?

Before DU
I only lurked on the AAR boards
Before DU
I didn’t know a Turd Blossom from a hole in the ground
Before DU
I found it hard to trust not only Bush*, but everyone around him
Because of you
That’s still the case

I heave a sigh
I hear Bush lie every time that he speaks
He’s not so dumb
‘Cause Dubya coined the term “strategery”
I’d rather we had anyone else
Someone who “feels our pain”
But now I type in the middle of the night
“Bush thinks he is king!”

Before DU
I never wondered if my vote was counted
Before DU
I thought that moran was spelled M-O-R-O-N
Before DU
I thought The Trouble With Harry was a Hitchcock film
Before DU
I yelled at my TV far less frequently
Before DU
I never read anything so hugh, I’m series!!!1!
Before DU
I was afraid

Before DU
Before DU

OP by Jackpine Radical:

      OK, Nance. You asked for this.
The 12 Suggested Steps of DUmmies Unanimous

1. We admitted we were powerless over GD-P--that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could tombstone us at will.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Skinner as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of the opposing candidate(s) and their advocates.

5. Admitted to the Magistrate the exact nature of their wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have The Admin remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Them to remove our tombstones and reinstate us.

8. Made a list of all persons whom we had put on Ignore or whose threads we had hijacked, and became willing to fake amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would entail inconveniences on our part.

10. Continued to take inventory of opposing candidates and their proponents and when they were wrong promptly tried to make them admit it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with Admin, as we understood Them, praying only that they would undercount our daily GD-P threads and overlook our flamewars.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to the trolls, Morans and FReepers.

On a thread by Smith_3:

      "liberals can never make up their mind."

it seems to be a common belief that if a person is a liberal, he will be too busy thinking about things to do, to actually get something done...

OP by krispos42:

      Okay, let's say as kids, Bush and Bin Laden played board games together.
I don't know if they did or not. Considering BushCo's ties to the Saudis, hell, maybe they did.

But if they did, what games do you think Bin Laden would have just spanked Bush's ass in?

I'll start: chess, Stratego, and Whack-A-Mole

Discuss!

OP by Political Heretic:

      My 7 reasons for turning away from Obama! :)
1) It has come to my attention from several very reliable (but anonymous) sources that Obama has close connections with Chthulhu. How can we possibly think he will stand any chance as our candidate once the republican hate machine gets hold of this stunning revelation??

2) Obama impregnated my cat. Seriously. I don't care how you want to live your life, but keep it behind closed doors for god's sake - and preferably not MY closed doors.

3) Obama is on the record expressing his distaste for Air Supply. Now, I don't know about you, but how anyone can seriously continue to support a candidate who demonstrates such inexcusable lack of taste is just beyond me. Let's just come out and face the facts shall we? This rejection of artistry isn't merely a slap in the face to music lovers everywhere - it is flat out a total rejection of America itself.

4) Obama once looked at me funny while I was watching him on C-Span. Yes, me! He was giving his speech and he looked up and locked eyes with me - sitting right in my living room masturbating in my own feces to pictures of captain kangaroo while fashioning anti-alien mind control ray helmets out of extra terrestrial repellent material (i.e. tin foil) - and furrowed his brow. Furrowed, I tell you! This blatant disdain for ordinary Americans is unacceptable.

5) We all know that Obama's middle name - Hussein - is obviously in reference to my neighbor, Bill Hussein, who is categorically a dick.

6) When you rearrange the letters from his name, you get "ma Abo" - ma being slang for "my" and Abo clearly referencing the Simpson's character Abu and thus implying ownership, most likely because Obama is a racist bastard who believes that all foreigners should be slaves.

7) Last night, the pan-dimensional, hyper-intelligent, superbeing and Creator and Sustainer of the Multi-verse named Joe (that is a rough translation of Xychorlopholiparazickflumbloo) came to me in a dream and told me that Hope is stupid.

I trust that you will, after being exposed to these critical truths, realize the error of your ways and immediately turn away from this candidate!

response #4 by Political Heretic:

      It has come to my attention that there are accusations that I do not, in fact have a cat.
I respond to these outlandish accusations, and point out that it depends on what your definition of "have" is... or what your definition of "cat" is for that matter. These sad attempts to smear me are clearly the work of a vast multi-wing conspiracy to flap fast enough to get off the ground which is cracked and caked from the drought we were having, at least until this winter when there was a lot of snow, only because of the government's testing of its weather control device over rural areas like this one.

response #5 by TheDoorbellRang:

      In addition, he has admitted to using words
Sometimes a whole line of them! In a sentence! With nouns, verbs, and...AND...MODIFIERS!

Oh, the humanity!

Get off the fugging podium. I want to see Bush and Cheney answering questions about war crimes, violating the Constitution, destroying human rights, wire tapping, being responsible for over a million deaths including 4000 of his own military and wrecking a fucking economy.

On a thread by theHandpuppet:

Whatever happened to child prodigies?
I was listening to NPR on my way home this afternoon when they aired an incredible work that Chopin had composed at only 17 years of age! Hearing that reminded me that history is full of child prodigies in the fields of art and music, but these days you rarely hear of artistic prodigies the likes of a Chopin, Mozart, Picasso, etc.

Am I just imagining this or has modern society's emphasis on conformity dampened the talents of the exceptionally gifted?

response #1 by Uben:

Condoleeza Rice
They said she was a prodigy, too. After that, no one wanted to be one!

OP by hisownpetard:

Mea Culpa: I have plagiarized from ALL candidates in both parties!!!
In the interest of full disclosure, I am forced to come clean: I sadly admit that, in the space of just one day,
I have plagiarized from both presidential candidates on both sides!

This afternoon, I said to the cashier at TJMaxx, who mentioned that the store has been open a year now,
"Ya know, I have been coming here since DAY ONE."

Then I went to the supermarket and stood in line a long time while the cashier tried to put a new roll of paper in the cash register.
The man in back of me, tired of waiting, threw his quart of ice cream on the conveyor belt, and as he pushed past me to leave I angrily
said, "Why, the AUDACITY!"

So I went home, ready to put away my bundles, when the phone rang. It was a friend of mine, telling me that he's going on vacation
in Brazil and asking me how I liked it when I went. "Wow," I said, "I could have stayed there for A HUNDRED YEARS."

And then, as if I hadn't already done enough harm, I was trying to put a pot of soup in the refrigerator and my two puppies managed
to wriggle between my feet and I tripped, and the whole pot of soup fell and poured down my pants legs and into my shoes and I just
stood there in my striped blue and white shirt with the elbow patches and said, "JESUS CHRIST," over and over and over again.

      Spinal Tap's "none blacker" theory SHATTERED: "Scientists Create a Black That Erases All Light"
"Researchers in New York reported this month that they have created a paper-thin material that absorbs 99.955 percent of the light that hits it, making it by far the darkest substance ever made -- about 30 times as dark as the government's current standard for blackest black.

The material, made of hollow fibers, is a Roach Motel for photons -- light checks in, but it never checks out. By voraciously sucking up all surrounding illumination, it can give those who gaze on it a dizzying sensation of nothingness.

'It's very deep, like in a forest on the darkest night,' said Shawn-Yu Lin, a scientist who helped create the material at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. 'Nothing comes back to you. It's very, very, very dark...'"

It's all the NY Times fault, my friends. They are the ones who had sex with that lobbyist for special favors, not me! That's probably what McCain will say in a couple minutes during his press conference.

I love how the Repukes are screaming, whining, and ranting...blaming this all on the NY Times, "the most Liberal paper in the country" for timing everything so McCain could win the primary and then lose the general election...all claiming how it doesn't matter to them what McCain does with his private life....and trying to make like the story is only about a sexual affair (it it really happened) and conveniently forgetting that the real story is that it was about doing lobbyists favors for sex.

Morning Joe, Tucker Carlson, Pat Buchanan...they are the biggest bunch of gossipers on the planet, bar none, especially needle-nose Morning Joe, who passes along all his hysterical opinions as if they're fact. They would all love you to think that the culprit in all of this is that terrible liberal paper, The NY Times and not McCain. Gimme a fucking break.

hahaha, all of a sudden doing lobbyists special favors for some poontang is none of our business. According to Repukes, what a man does with his sexual life should be kept private. How soon they forget!

It’s a 'motion for enlarged brief,' which in this case means the respondents want to file a brief to the Minnesota Court of Appeals exceeding the current length limit of 15,500 words. The reasons listed in the motion include:

'1 – Respondent is unable to address all pertinent issues within the current length restraints. 2 - The variety of novel issues presented by Amici Curiae’s brief are outside of the scope of the Appellant’s principal arguments. 3 – Respondent’s counsel has made honest efforts to confine its brief within the limitations prescribed by the Minnesota Rules of Appellate Procedure, but is unable to do so while presenting the Court with the information necessary to make an informed decision.'

Although just filed and posted today, the 'motion for enlarged brief' was dated Feb. 14th, Valentine’s Day..."

That's what got defendant in here in the first place!

response #6 by temeah:

      Is that an enlarged brief you just filed, or are you just happy to see me?

      Filed after his motion for "an enlarged banana hammock" was denied.

      As An Obama Supporter - I Am Afraid Of Him Debating McCain

response #11 by scheming daemons:

      My 9-year-old could out-debate McCain.... relax.
Obama has held his own in two straight debates with Clinton.... what do you think he'd do against McCain.

The old man would piss in his Depends.

response #21 by maddiejoan:

      I think Obama would come off better than McCain
I think Hillary would grind McCain into small easily chewable pieces before she swallowed him feathers and all.

I also think it's not that important --Kerry thrashed Bush around like a Shark tenderizing a surfer during their debates, and people don't even remember that.

This is an example of a stupid and non-helpful observation. I encourage Obama and Hillary supporters to go off on me for making it.

Poll question by Mr_Jefferson_24:

      In consideration of the latest revelations concerning John McCain...
...which statement do you believe best describe the likely fallout?

:bluebox: He'll never get another erection.

:bluebox: He'll never win the presidential election.

:bluebox: It will likely worsen his tired complexion.

:bluebox: From now on with his wife, he must strap on protection.

:bluebox: He'll never be firm without a double injection.

:bluebox: He'll report to a clinic and submit to inspection.

:bluebox: He'll be much more careful with future connections.

:bluebox: He'll retire and begin a stamp collection.

:bluebox: He'll complain to the media and insist on correction.

:bluebox: Other, please specify.

response #1 by Captain Angry:

      Other.
For me, voting in silly polls has never been a predilection.

response #2 by Mr_Jefferson_24:

      Now that you've brought up the subject of your...
...predilections, in accordance with longstanding DU tradition, you must now list ALL of yours -- alphabetical order please.

response #3 by Captain Angry:

      You didn't rhyme this time.
I went to the trouble of making a selection that I hoped would create affection, but that apparently evaded detection.

:-)

response #4 by Mr_Jefferson_24:

      Sorry, Captain, my bad...
... In all my perplexion from this viral infection I completely forgot to convey my affection...

:pals:

response #9 by Emit:

      He will only fall in one direction?

At press time, "He'll complain to the media and insist on correction." was winning with 50% of the votes.
