*** DUzy Awards for week ending October 24, 2008 ***


Welcome to the socialist, tax-and-spend DUzy Awards, a compendium of star-spangled amusement from this week on DU.

OP by Believing_Is_Art:

      I finally figured it out, and Sarah Palin is a national security genius
It came to me last night. I don't know if it's my case of life-long insomnia (aka grad school) or the month-long migraine I've had from being too poor to get contacts with the right prescription, but now it all makes sense.

Sarah Palin IS single-handedly protecting the United States from a Russian invasion. By decrying claims that global warming is caused by man, she is tacitly endorsing the continued use of fossil fuels. This ensures the continued existence of the Bering Strait, preventing any glacial formation that could result in a land bridge. And that bridge would lead to somewhere: the end of democracy and freedom forever!

So thank you Sarah Palin, for protecting this nation from Putin and borscht.

I imagine that every morning Sarah Palin goes into her gubernatorial yard and patriotically sprays dozens of cans of aerosol in an easterly direction. Such bravery and foreign policy acumen are a rare trait, and I feel that the only conscience choice this November is McCain-Palin.

      Macacarthy

The day started with "Joe" and ended with "McCarthy"..... coincidence?? :shrug:

I doubt that Minnesotans want their own Joe McCarthy ... only to be laughed at by their neighboring cheeseheads.

OP by mycritters2:

      I've just been asked to serve on a committee with a pastor from Trinity United Church--
yes, THAT Trinity Church. Does make me officially anti-American?

response #2 by wryter2000:

      Shhhh
Don't tell Agent Mike. :evilgrin:

response #6 by jobycom:

      Didn't you hear?
Agent Mike joined Trinity! Yeah, turns out that four years of reading our posts, he converted to liberalism and is now one of Reverend Wright's disciples. He's even been to Africa a few times and wears traditional garb, which is odd, because he's white, but hey, it's a start!

:rofl:

response #8 by wryter2000:

      I'm so glad to hear that
I always liked Agent Mike.

I wonder what happened to the poor bastard who's assigned to Freak Republick.

response #10 by jobycom:

      I think he quit
and became a plumber.

response #3 by rucky:

      You'll never get elected President, now.

OP by Pacifist Patriot:

      I am so not proud of myself tonight. This is indeed a new low for me.
I stole a McCain yard sign.

But there is more to the story. My neighborhood does not permit signs in yards so they have accummulated on a grassy knoll just outside the subdivision. My Obama sign has been stolen three times. Tonight I drove by and saw that not only was the Obama sign stolen, but a McCain one was put in it's place. So I pulled over just to check if once again they had simply thrown it into the woods. Nope, it was definitely gone. I couldn't help myself. I slipped the plastic McCain sign right off it's posts. It is now lining the cats' litter box.

Not my proudest moment. So I donated $2.00 to the McCain campaign.

WHAT?!

Yes I did. But this isn't necessarily bad news. I have purchased from the Obama store but have declined to donate directly in cash. Horribly irrational and superstitious, but every time I donate money to a candidate they lose. Yep, I have never in my life ever donated to the winning side. I am convinced my money is cursed.

So in one fell swoop I eased my conscience a little on the sign and doomed McCain to a resounding defeat.

Oooo, I hear scratching in the other room. Me thinks McCain's name may be in the process of being shat upon.

response #19 by vanderRock:

      So it was YOU who caused them to lose!
You and your damn donations!

response #38 by Pacifist Patriot:

      Yep. All my fault. My husband also won't let me stay in the room when the Patriots have possession.
They tend to score only when I'm peeing.

response #35 by Fly by night:

      Habanero paste slathered on my sign (and those of neighbors) has worked great.

We all had signs stolen before I started grinding up those fiery hot peppers with a little olive oil and coating the outer edges of our signs with the napalm paste. After that, I did notice my sign askew once, but it was still there.

I hope the Rethug who grabbed my sticky sign put his hand to his nose to see what the goo was and cauterized every nose hair and sinus cell he had.

That's one neo-Nazi skinhead Rethuglican who is now bald on the inside of his skull as well as the outside.

      Sex toy removed over melamine contamination
"Sex shops have been forced to remove a novelty chocolate spread from their shelves over fears that it may contain a toxic chemical.

Thousands of cans of the spread, bought by couples to spice up their love lives, have been removed from outlets of the Ann Summers chain after tests showed they contain melamine.

Levels were 100 times above the limits imposed by the European commission..."

This guy, on the other hand...

OP by 20score:

      “Oh Yeah! .. Sez You!” New Talking Point From The Right
After unsuccessfully trying to paint Obama as too inexperienced, too elitist, a Muslim, a terrorist, an Arab, a celebrity and not one of us, the McCain/Palin campaign unveiled a new slogan, “Oh Yeah!… Sez You!” The think tank, The Ann Coulter Foundation, consisting of members of the McCain campaign, the KKK and The Flat Earth Society came up with the slogan after months of trial and error and poll testing of Republicans.

“We’re very exited about this,” said Laura Ingraham. “It gives us something to hang our hats on, and it’s something our followers can understand.”

“My congregation loves it!” said preacher Billy Joe Bob outside of his mega-church in Atlanta. “Well, after I told them it’s a good thing… I told them, that’s what Jesus would have said.”

“I already say this all the time when I’m arguing with a lefty at work,” said Joe the Mechanic, who works for the defense contractor, General Dynamics. “It’s like they read my mind… or something.”

McCain spokeswoman, Wendy Riemann hopes that the timing will be right to counteract Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama. “We think it’s perfect,” Wendy beamed. “See, when someone points out all the endorsements from Republicans, like Colin Powell, all a person has to say is, ‘Oh yeah, sez you,’ I mean, what can you say to that?”

response #1 by notalemming:

      They fell out of love with "neener neener"?
:rofl:

response #13 by Sparkly:

      Have they retired "I know you are but what am I?"
Or "I am rubber you are glue?"

Some people here are posting every 20 or 30 minutes... They are reposting topics which are already being covered multiple times and driving some good posts off the page.

I really would like to see the 3 post limit a day come back as we approach election day.

What's your reason for the way you voted? :shrug:

:bluebox: Yes, Bring it back. Three original posts a day is plenty.

:bluebox: Hell no! I need to post way more than three OP's a day!

:bluebox: Make it 4 OP's a day and I'm in.

:bluebox: I often scream and run around naked in my front yard just to feel the freedom after a visit to GDP

:bluebox: I'm agnostic so don't ask me.

:bluebox: What this poll needs is MORE COWBELL!

:bluebox: GDP Needs to make less sense - It is far too logical and unemotional

:bluebox: Other

:bluebox: Other - other - I mean if that other other is not the one you want, this is it.

OP by bigtree:

      Palin Calls For the Separation of Northern and Southern Virginia
*satire*

REAL, America -- Echoing her past affinity for the secessionist Alaska Independence Party, Sarah Palin today called for the separation of "real Virginia" from Northern Virginia and the establishment of an independent republican state in the south which she's opportunistically named 'Republica."

Palin called for repatriation of lands held by the Alexandria and Arlington “to the state and people of Republica,” as well as, among other issues, the right to open the N. Virginia zoo and release all the supposedly endangered animals into the wild for aerial hunting.

Palin told reporters that she was inspired to call for the birth of Republica by the comments this week of McCain senior adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer who suggested that "real Virginia" is the "part of the state that is more Southern in nature, if you will," and that "Northern Virginia is really metro D.C.."

"Democrats have just come in from the District of Columbia and moved into Northern Virginia and that's really what you see there," Pfotenhauer told MSNBC. "But the rest of the state, real Virginia, if you will, I think will be very responsive to Senator McCain's message."

"We believe that the best of America is not all in Northern Virginia," Palin told reporters. "We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, with all of the hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation," she said.

"This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans," said Palin. "Those folks who we'll expect to be running our robo-calls about Obama and his terrorist pals; teaching their kids to fear black preachers; packaging Obama waffles; and assaulting the communist press and stealing Obama signs for us. Those who are protecting us in Obama-bin-Lyin t-shirts. Those who are protecting me from having to answer reporters' questions."

Like her campaign's moniker, 'Country First,' Palin said her slogan for the new state would be 'Republicans First,' reflecting her party and her campaign's most important priority.

Her trail boss, John McCain was asked by a voter in his audience whether he approved of Palin's recommendations and, if they went through with the succession and he lost, what he would do with his property and campaign headquarters which are, in fact, in N. Virginia.

"I've lived here for at least 10 years and before that about every third duty I was in either Arlington or Alexandria, up in communist country," he said. "The fires of Hell (where I expect to run into bin-Laden) are glaciers compared to my hate for Northern Virginia," he said.

McCain said he was already mobilizing an army of regular Joes who would take and hold the territory if he failed to get elected, promising his new recruits a piece of the pie Obama's been raving about in his stump speeches. "Senator Obama is more interested in controlling who gets your piece of the pie than he is in growing the pie," said McCain, who drew cheers when he proclaimed he was relying on Joe the plumber and Rose the teacher and Phil the bricklayer and Wendy the waitress . . ."

"I mean, I don't dwell on it," he replied. "But, look, I've had a wonderful life . . . I don't want people to feel sorry for John McCain, and John McCain will be concentrating on not feeling sorry for himself."

OP by WCGreen:

      A funny, but long EMail I got today....
This all happens when friends start to retire. they sit around all day and EMail me stuff...


On the first day, God created the dog and said: 'Sit all day by the door
of your house and
Bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a
life span of twenty years.'

The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years
and I'll give you back the other ten?'

So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said: ¡Entertain people, do
tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life
span.'

The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long
time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?'

And God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow and said: 'You must go into the
field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves
and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a
life span of sixty years.'

The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty
years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?'

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created man and said: 'Eat, sleep, play, marry and
enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years.'

But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty,
the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the
dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?'

'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it..'

So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our
family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the
grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and
bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you..

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it
as a public service.

      Top ten signs that you are a progressive who is obsessed with this election.
1. You wake up in the morning and fire up the PC to check the latest polls even before you make coffee.

2. You have your precinct captain on speed dial. You suspect that she is starting to block your calls.

3. Your significant other has banned the following programs from the living room TV: Hardball, Countdown, Rachel Maddow, the Daily Show. You sneak your nightly politics fix in the bedroom. This has had an effect on the more intimate aspects of your relationship. You have been heard to say "Not now Honey, I have to watch this. "Rachel's about to rip Pat Buchanan's lungs out!"

4. You have become intimately familiar with the voting habits and demographics of southwest Pennsylvannia even though you live in California.

5. You arrange your Sundays around the morning talk shows. "Oh good, there's no one worth watching on "Meet the Press" we can go to Arnie's wedding after all.

6. You are considering naming your unborn child Barack even though you're Italian. You've already named your new kitten "Joe".

7. Your yard sign is chained to a tree. Your significant other had to talk you down from putting an old bear trap you bought at a yard sale in front of it. You are considering spending your next paycheck on a video monitor to catch any thieves that would dare touch your sign.

8. You discount every rise for Obama in the polls and go into a state of immediate and total angst at the slightest hint of a drop. You are a Democrat. You are not accustomed to winning. You are sure those leads are an illusion.

9. You spend so much time online trying to keep ahead of what's going on with this election that you are beginning to develop karpal tunnel syndrome and you had to spend a couple hundred bucks on new glasses.

10. Despite the good news in the polls you absolutely refuse to buy a bottle of champagne to celebrate what looks like a coming victory. You are positive that the ten buck bottle you bought in 2004 cost Kerry Ohio. You will not make that mistake again but you are planning to take the day after election day off because one way or the other you are sure you will have the mother of all hangovers!

Karlo Steel, an owner there, said he had gone through the store’s receipts for September, twice, and found no sales that matched that amount, nor any combination of sales that added up to the total. Because the store carries aggressively directional men’s wear, he caters to a small clientèle and knows most of his customers by name, as well as the history of their purchases.

When The Caucus called Mr. Steel back to ask him to also check August sales just in case, Mr. Steel said he found one purchase that came close to the amount in the campaign finance reports but said that he knew who that customer was and it certainly was not Mr. Palin.

God damn but the jokes just write themselves, don't they? There are going to be a lot of comedians experiencing mixed feelings on November 5.

response #19 by jmowreader:

      Aggressively directional men's wear? Hmm...
I found the Atelier New York website and looked at the clothes they offer. It's all this Milan Catwalk stuff...if you don't wear eyeliner on a daily basis you won't want these clothes.

I think the "aggressively directional" line means "we know the three customers who would buy this item."

OP by LeftyMom:

      Some poor housewife is de-gaying her kitchen, and it's all my fault.
I went to this lady's house to pick up a freecycle item. It wasn't on the porch, as I'd told it would be, so I rang the bell. She came to the door, apologized for forgetting to put it out, and had me follow her through her kitchen to the garage to get it. I was carrying it out when she offered me a pro-Prop 8 yard sign. I had noticed on the way in that they had a pile of them on the front porch, and that all of their neighbors had them- I'm guessing they got a stack from their church with instructions to give them all out. Anyhow, I just said "no thank you" and was about to leave when a rather naughty impulse struck me. I blushed prettily and said with a sly smile, "I don't think my wife would like that."

And then I told her I hoped she had a nice day anyhow, and I left.

On a thread by nomad1776:

      Study: 3 Cups of Coffee a Day May Shrink Women's Breasts
"According to the Swedish researchers, three cups a day was enough to start making breasts shrink, with the effects increasing for every cup drunk.

They said there was a clear link between drinking coffee and smaller breasts, as about half of women possessed a gene shown to link breast size to coffee intake..."

To paraphrase a poster up thread, "Yay! My sense of humor is coming back."

Ha! If DU thinks I'm a pain when I'm in "humorless feminist" mode; you're really gonna hate my humor mode. :evilgrin:
