Let's get a few things straight

[Pale Blue Dot]

Pink? She's an opportunist. Only trying to sell records.

Colbert? Not funny.

Cindy Sheehan? Does not dress appropriately for public events.

Al Franken? Too moderate.

George Clooney? Jumped on the Darfur bandwagon late.

Randi Rhodes? Cuts off callers.

Now that that's all cleared up, can we please get back to sitting on our asses and doing nothing but posting on DU?

Edit for the sarcasm impaired: :sarcasm:

1. It's midnight on Saturday on a Saturday in May....

I just went through a grueling election...

I want to have some fun....

Is that okay....

[derby378]

2. So, uh, who exactly IS Finnfan?

[ClusterFreak]

4. Good question.

:shrug:

[Maddy McCall]

19. He's a financial contributor who's been with DU for four years.

Since you're a newbie who's never contributed to DU, I guess you wouldn't know that.

[ClusterFreak]

23. Relax.

...and while you're at, read the DU rules about drawing "negative attention to the fact that someone is new, has a low post count, or recently became a member of Democratic Underground." I may not have been around here as long as you, nor am I a contributor, but even I know those rules. In my haste to respond, I simply missed the sarcasm in the poster's comments, so sue me. After I posted I thought maybe they were being sarcastic, but since there initially was no ":sarcasm:" emoticon....maybe not? Anyway...no need for the personal attack there Maddy.

p.s. As of this writing, I have 1,136 posts and have been a DU member for 10+ months. How long, in your estimation, does someone have to be a member and how many posts do they need to have, to NOT be considered a newbie?


---------
on edit: one other thing...how do you know I have never contributed to DU? I haven't, but what's it to you? What are you, the DU bookkeeper? You been keepin' tabs on me or something? Sheesh.

[Pale Blue Dot]

5. I've been around for 4 years.

I ran for School Board in the Democratic primary a couple of years ago. And maybe I should have put the :sarcasm: smiley in my post to be clear.

[Maddy McCall]

20. It's amazing that no one could deduce that.

:hi:

[derby378]

22. Just having a little fun with your profile

Dat's all... :hi:

[ClusterFreak]

24. I've made the same oversight myself...and had people flame me...

...no biggie!;) ...and sorry for doing it to you.:hide:

[me b zola]

7. ooh, ooh, call on me...

Someone who likes to attack Liberals that are making a difference?

[Pale Blue Dot]

10. Please,

please note the sarcasm.

Every one of the above statements are things I've seen posted on these boards. I'm with you.

[me b zola]

12. Doh!

Goodness. More proof that 5 years of the bush* regime is killing my sense of humor. x(

Please accept my apology? :blush:

[Pale Blue Dot]

14. No problem

I find that it's easy to forget that sarcasm doesn't always work as well in writing.

[GregD]

3. You left out Garafolo and her psychobabble ranting

[Pale Blue Dot]

6. Good one!

Let's cross her off the list, too!

[Sydnie]

8. Neil Young ---- Canadian
