Welcome to the DUzy Awards, honoring rapidfire riffing, ravening relish and remarkable retorts from this week on DU. Congratulations to this week's winners!
The precarious DUzies will be announced every Friday, if I get around to it. Previous awards can be found in my journal.

OP by devilgrrl: The ultimate "Let's make shit up about Hugo Chavez" ThreadCome on kids! Let's do the US Corporate Media outlets a favor and make shit up about Hugo Chavez. It's pretty obvious that they want us to hate the guy in hope invading Venezuela, so don't hold back, let's see what sticks after throwing shit against a wall.
Don't worry, I'll post a "Let's make shit up about Iran" thread next week just to be fair.
I'll start off the festivities with
"Hugo Chavez wants to legalize CHILD LABOR!!!!" :wow:

So Boston news outlets are actually taking orders from the police in a jerkwater New Hampshire hamlet? What for? They've "requested" that the news copters stay at least three miles away. What the bloody f*ck for? Can anyone offer this ex-Boston rube a reasonable explanation as to why these small-town cops are able to dictate first-amendment rules to big-city news orgs?
Just curious. Mr. Cynic is working overtime today.

Keep me appraised of this situation, will you.The Lounge (moved from GD), December 1, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7195251 OP by dave29: Romney, Edwards campaigns in disarray after Physicists Prove Infinite AmericasCampaign advisors for the Romney campaign which asserted there is only one America, and the Edwards campaign which has asserted there are two -- were trying to gauge the public backlash after physicists released an elegant theory predicting an infinite number of Americas -- only limited by ones ability to understand quantum foam.
The Romney campaign was quick to admit it does not understand quantum foam, rationalizing this proves that they live in only one America. The Edwards campaign admitted the science is in, but that their calculations were "closer to the accurate number" than Romney's campaign.
The Clinton campaign promised Hillary would be the best President for all of the Americas, and that she would win election in every single one of them. The Obama campaign released a statement asserting it was time that all of the Americas tried to get along, and that even though an infinite number of Americas existed, there was still hope for all of them. The Giuliani campaign was quick to try to determine which America was the best America for his pals, while the Huckabee campaign declared that God had blessed all of the Americas, especially the ones without muslims. The Kucinich campaign declared that it had received reports of UFO's flying over at least 50% of the Americas it was aware of, and that this was further proof that his jacket pocket was indeed a black hole. The Biden campaign claimed it knew this all along, while the McCain campaign held up the theory as proof that the surge in Iraq was working. The Richardson campaign claimed the Governor had spent more time outside all of the Americas and was therefore best qualified to lead at least this America. When asked for comment, the offices of Vice President Gore admitted he had only given a sherman statement in 15 of the Americas, and that the Vice President himself was in an alternate America actually being President.
When pressed for comment, the author of the OP admitted he was drunk, and couldn't think of anywhere else to take this silliness.
GD, December 1, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2382066 OP by Jackpine Radical: I don't get it. People see their votes changing before their eyes, and they assumeit's some kind of machine error or political mischief. Why can't they accept the reality of the situation? God is correcting their errors for them, changing their Satanic Democratic votes into Godly Republican ones, and thereby no doubt saving their souls as well as divinely intervening in the electoral process.

'Our country is at a crossroads,' Thompson told several hundred people at a rally at a community clubhouse.
'We know that the most liberal element of the Democratic Party has taken control of the Democratic Party, and if they win this next election we're going to go down the road of a welfare state,' he said.
After warning of a government that gets 'bigger and bigger,' he said 'I don't think the American people are going to turn the keys to this country over to the most left-wing part of a left-wing party next year.'
'We've got to make sure that doesn't happen,' he said..."

W. Bush library on Thursday, CBS News has confirmed. Romney's Mormon faith has been an underlying theme of his presidential candidacy but, until today, it has been an area he and his campaign have shied away from addressing directly.
'This speech is an opportunity for Governor Romney to share his views on religious liberty, the grand tradition religious tolerance has played in the progress of our nation and how the governor's own faith would inform his Presidency if he were elected,' said Romney spokesman Kevin Madden in a statement released this evening..."

May they be thrown bodily from their place of residence, land face-first in a steaming pile of exrement left by the Great Dane next door, then be forced to walk sixteen miles through the pouring rain in borrowed shoes two sizes too small only to find themselves on a streetcorner mistaken for a john trying to solicit a undercover vice cop masquerading as a streetwalker and spend the night in jail entertaining their cellmates with long and detailed explanations of why Republicans are lower than the underside of a road-flattened snake.
And furthermore, may they wake the next morning to find that their drunk cellmate mistook their shivering form for the toilet and be forced to attend court smelling like a urinal. And, in attempting to explain themselves to the judge, so offend said officer of the court that they are penalized to the full extent of the law and sent to the worst hell-hole of a jail to labor under the desert sun at the mercy of the most sadistic guards in the universe. May they be shunned by their fellow prisoners and, upon release, find themselves at the mercy of the vagaries of fate, standing on the side of the road with a sign saying "will work for food" in the same too small shoes they started out in the very night when they made the worst decision in their useless, misguided lives. And may every single stroke of good luck that might come their way after this be instead directed to one of those with which they share the street until, in the end, the only people who remain homeless are former Republican assholes who damn well deserve it.
And may they live a long and miserable life until they either repent their evil Republican ways or die and find whatever afterlife may await them. And may they then be afflicted with a lecture so harsh that their ears catch fire and they are forced to spend eternity with tiny blackened stumps on the sides of their heads as a reminder that they brought all their misfortune upon themselves.

The sad truth isthat hundreds of dogs become homeless and are put to sleep because of cannabis addiction. Yes, they start out experimenting, due to the notorious dog pound pressure, and think of it as fun and games. Rather than attending doggie obedience classes, they skip off and "chase a buzz," as hippie dogs on Dragnet used to say. But look what happens: while siblings who follow the straight and narrow become police dogs, politicians, or beauty contestants on a cable network dog show, Little Sheba leaves Hazel at home wondering "why?" John Lennon once wandered hairied as a dog, and this too can be attributed to reclusive drug abuse.
The Lounge, December 4, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7205429 OP by Bucky: I totally LOVE Bush's explanation about the NIE reportBob Newhart, look out. There's a new king of deadpan humor hitting the airwaves and he's going to available for "booking" (we hope) starting in January 2009. At his press conference today, George Bush let the world know the Executive Branch gets along just fine without him...
At the presser, David Gregory addressed the Comedian-in-Chief with the problem of that NIE report saying the Persian boogie man isn't actually doing the one thing that could give us cause to worry about them. "You warned about the prospect of World War III, when months before you made that statement, this intelligence about them suspending their weapons program back in ‘03 had already come to light to this administration."
Bush's defense is hilarious. "I don't want to contradict an august reporter such as yourself. I was made aware of the NIE last week... I think it was Mike McConnell came in and said 'We have some new information'. He didn't tell me what the new information was."
In other words, Bush doesn't bother to ask anything about the information, even when people come by his office just to say "Hey, we have some new information on Iran." Iran? Shit, Mike, don't bother me with that backwater malarkey--can't you see I'm busy with important matters of state? I gotta walk Barney. I gotta veto health care for the children of working families. I gotta, you know, hard work.
And so the CIA folks go back and analyse that new information from Iran, that uninteresting minutiae concerning God-knows-what trivial matter, only coming to the conclusion at the very last minute, that Iran has no nuclear weapons program. I assume the conclusion came at the last minute since they never bothered, between August and the end of December to update the White House on this forgotten and irrelevant matter concerning a tiny country hardly anyone in this administration ever mentions or even knows about. No one calls and says, "Hey, just in case anyone mentions Iran in next coupla months, you might think about tapering your words on the threat they pose to us. No hard conclusions yet, but we might have some data here suggesting they're not actually weaponizing their uranium."
Or maybe there was a mix up over whether "nuclear weapons" are the same thing as "nucular weapons."
Whichever is the case, the situation seems to be that no one in the country's 16 intellegence agencies that were conjointly analyzing this 'new information' thought the president of the United States could be trusted, or at least could understand, ongoing updates on the analysis of intelligence about Iran's military strength, despite the fact that the US was doing everything in its power to dissuade Iran from continuing its nuclear weapons program--almost up to the point of actually talking to them. Or maybe the National Security Agency just thought the president would really enjoy getting a big suprise on this issue.
Surprises, after all, have been so good to this president in the past.

Let me tell ya'll something about my people, the ItaliansWe wrap shit up in pork. We don't go to the "butcher shop." We go to the "pork store." We take a pig, cure it, then slice it up and wrap it around a piece of fucking cantaloupe. A fig. Whatever. You name it, we'll wrap the fucking thing in pork. We have 800 varieties of what you people call bacon. We eat that shit up. So am I surprised that somebody at Balducci's would think the nice Jewish customers might like one uh dese here hyams for der holiday meal?
I'm surprised it wasn't a full window display with the Star of David shaped out of various strung salamini.
