OP by devilgrrl:

      The ultimate "Let's make shit up about Hugo Chavez" Thread
Come 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:

:popcorn:

On a thread by seawolf:

      Can we get even a semi-complete list of the Repub presidential candidates' lies and sleazy deals?

response #2 by Captain Angry:

      You'd fill the internet with that list.
I need the net for hockey scores, so I'd appreciate it if you'd not try to clog it.

Thanks!

On a thread by Atman:

      The police in Podunk, NH tell Boston news outlets not to cover hostage taking
Hmm. 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.

response #12 by Warren Stupidity:

      Fuck I just broke my last damn tooth off!
Just keep the hick jokes coming. Oh and do get real defensive when called out on it. Charming. Connecticut. Right.

response #14 by Atman:

      Isn't it funny how your CT pre-conceptions are okay, but my NH ones aren't?
Huh? Really, how does that work?

response #18 by Warren Stupidity:

      Oh so you are offended?
Do tell.

response #23 by Atman:

      Who said I was offended?
You were the one who got his duck-waders in a twist.

:hi:

response #20 by madinmaryland:

      Dude, there are no backwaters in CT.
i lived there for 20 years, and it's basically a 'burb of NYC!

response #24 by Atman:

      Are you NUTS?
There are several towns that don't even have a decent sushi bar!!!

response #15 by graywarrior:

      Hey, people from Rochester are not jerkwaterites.
Rochester may be a rural town, but a lot of my friends live there, dude. You have no idea what these small town cops have to deal with--tourists that pull the stupidest shit imaginable.

response #16 by Atman:

      God...how do you guys deal with the U-turns and all those direction-askers?
:hi:

response #22 by graywarrior:

      We give the wrong directions.
Bwhahahahahahahahaha!

On a thread by ProfessorPlum:

      Why America cannot be Norway
It looks like a wonderful place. Why can't America be Norway? Because of racism. This is the lasting, devastating effect of the legacy of slavery on this country...

response #1 by Teaser:

      Also, we're not close enough to Sweden
except for Minnesota, that is.

response #22 by leftofthedial:

      well, at least we don't have to eat that vile fish crap
they call food

response #24 by aikoaiko:

      I'd settle for America being a lot like Vermont.

response #32 by struggle4progress:

      It's because we chopped all our fjords down. Or they died of Dutch Elm disease. Something like that.
I remember learning about it in high school history

response #36 by DFW:

      The reason is simple
Too few people in America speak Norwegian.
(Kan du snakke norsk?)

On edit--I tested this that last time I was in Dallas with my friend, Gunnar.
Sure enough, every time we asked that question, we got told, "hey, you dumb
foreigners, speak English or shut up!"

Gunnar turned to me and said, "DFW, I don't think we're in Oslo any more."

I have my favorites here, but in the interest of saving time, let's just say every response also gets a DUzy. Or a Floozy or a Boozy or something.

OP by trumad:

      We need an opposite DUzy awards--- you know--- for those with no sense of humor.
My God--- there use to be a time where you can poke a little fun on DU at a politician like Dennis or Hillary, etc. Now you try it and heads explode.

      Do or 'how do' you show that you are a liberal?

response #13 by Peake:

      I attempt to use the spellchecker on a semi-regular basis.

response #39 by ALiberalSailor:

      I drive a French-made car!
Next year, I'm going to drive across Texas (Texarkana to El Paso) in it with a bumpersticker that reads, "I'm gay, I'm for Obama, and I'm here to take your guns!". Seriously, I'm not gay, but I do drive a French-made car.

On a thread by BigBearJohn:

      Sometimes I wonder if the root of what's happening today is more than just greed and lust for power.
but more essentially...

the fight between good and evil.

      where's the good?

      But wait!

On a thread by The Straight Story:

      Web Site Seeks to Reunite Gloves, Owners
"It's like an online dating service for long lost gloves. No, that's not a typo.

A Texas native who experienced her first snowflakes in Pittsburgh last year was miffed by the lost gloves she spotted all over the city last winter. Whom did they belong to? Wouldn't they want them back? Why were people just walking past them?

So Jennifer Gooch, who is pursuing her master of fine arts degree at Carnegie Mellon University, started onecoldhand.com in an effort to reunite dropped gloves with their mates — and in the process spread some goodwill..."

On a thread by XemaSab:

      A point is "moot," not "mute."

response #1 by Starbucks Anarchist:

      Supposably.
:P

response #2 by DS1:

      Here here!
:rofl:

response #8 by greyl:

      It's "moops"! nt

response #14 by helderheid:

      I can't hear your point as I have you on mute.

response #23 by lwfern:

      disagreeing here.
Being in Michigan where we have no delegates, and being to the left of the republicans and the DLC, I feel like all my points are mute.

response #29 by scarletwoman:

      It's a tossup for me between "mute point" and "marshall law".
Both cause my inner English teacher to howl in agony.

"Marshall Law" always conjures up a mental image of some tough-looking guy with a pair of six-guns and a cowboy hat standing steely-eyed in a dusty street in front of a saloon.

Anyway, I'm with you... :banghead:

response #31 by skipos:

      I am not going to mix words here, I could care less about what you say.
I no I am right. The english language isn't rocket surgery.

response #35 by porphyrian:

      Unless the point can't speak, and then it can be both. -n/t

response #38 by AZDemDist6:

      perhaps but I sure see a bunch of talking points around here
not nearly enough mute points IMO

:evilgrin:

response #41 by MassDemm:

      I can't hear you! I got the moot button on.

response #43 by burythehatchet:

      Keep me appraised of this situation, will you.

OP by dave29:

      Romney, Edwards campaigns in disarray after Physicists Prove Infinite Americas
Campaign 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.

OP by Jackpine Radical:

      I don't get it. People see their votes changing before their eyes, and they assume
it'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.

On a thread by 951-Riverside:

      Thompson Warns of Welfare State
"Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson said Saturday that election of a Democrat to the White House in 2008 would open the way for a welfare state where bigger government, higher taxes and defense cutbacks sap the country's economic and military strength.

'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..."

response #6 by scarletwoman:

      Ah. The classics never go out of style. (nt)

response #16 by Zorra:

      The republicans sure are running a bunch of kooks this time around.
Can you imagine any one of them running the country after the Chimpy disaster?

We'd be going Road Warrior within 2 years of the first term.

response #23 by momster:

      Leg-Warmers, Hair Gel and Fred
all recycled from the 1980's. He's stuck in a time warp. First 'The Soviet Union' and now the 'welfare state.' Will he be reviling Murphy Brown for her out of wedlock baby? Maybe he'll be wishing Prince Charles and Lady Diana good luck on their wedding. Or will he just rock out to 'Thriller'?

Nighty-night, Fred.

response #49 by provis99:

      what is it with this old goofball?
I mean, has he been asleep since 1980, and the kinfolk just poke him with a stick every now and then so he can wake up and grumble about "welfare bums" and the good ole days under Nixon? Go back to sleep, Fred.

response #52 by MilesColtrane:

      The Great Metamucinator speaks!
What a man of principle.

I'm sure he'll be returning his Social Security checks to the Treasury with a little Post It on each one that says, "No Thanks, Uncle Pinko!".

He is stark raving stupid, he's 200 pounds of low grade horse shit in a man suit. He's Don Imus without the racial sensitivity, Dick Cheney without the compassion, George W. Bush without the competence, and a garden slug with extra slime.

On a thread by brooklynite:

      Romney To Give 'Religion Speech'
"Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will deliver a much-anticipated speech on religious faith at the George H. 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..."

response #1 by wienerdoggie:

      It's a shame that his religion hurts him, in this day and age. He's a putz all on his own--
being Mormon is probably one of his better character traits.

response #20 by hatrack:

      Gosh, just what we need! More politicians talking about religion - especially about THEIR religions
Great idea!!

      The speech I would give would be short and sweet-
It would go something like this: Ladies and Gentleman, please kiss my ass, my religion is no one's business but my own. Thank you and good night.

Took this to be more a commentary on the strangeness of men than the objectification of women; I have, however, been wrong before.

OP by jgraz:

      Staring at Boobs Prolongs Men's Life by 5 Years
"A German research published in New England Journal of Medicine and Weekly World News said that men staring at women's breasts in fact prolong their lives with years.

'Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female such as Baywatch actress Pamela Lee is equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out,' said author Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist..."

There's only one comment, and it lists snopes.com.

This article has no date, also it has been debunked
http://www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/breasts.asp
It first appeared in the Weekly World News 13 May 1997.

But you know what? I'm not going to stop looking, and I'm not going to stop hoping. My heart is pure because I stare at boobies of all types, so no snopes is going to convince me that I'm not also adding years to my life.

Boobies give, they do not take away. So there.

Five years of NOT staring at boobs!? :scared:

      Rare Mummified Dinosaur Unearthed: Contains Skin, and Maybe Organs, Muscle
"Scientists on Monday announced the discovery of what appears to be the world's most intact dinosaur mummy: a 67-million-year-old plant-eater that contains fossilized bones and skin tissue, and possibly muscle and organs.

Preserved by a natural fluke of time and chemistry, the four-ton mummified hadrosaur, a duck-billed herbivore common to North America, could reshape the understanding of dinosaurs and their habitat, its finders say..."

OP by Mythsaje:

      A pox on their souls
Anyone shortsighted and stupid enough to vote Republican in the next Presidential election is an asshole, deserving of the worst possible fate one can dream up for a human being. 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.

Either that or lose so badly that we can openly mock them for being the malevolent gasbags they are for the rest of their days.

OP by Bucky:

      I totally LOVE Bush's explanation about the NIE report
Bob 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.

      Has Lieberman weighed in on the NIE report indicating
that Iran is not developing nuclear weapons? I saw him on TV last night briefly talking about video game violence.

response #2 by H2O Man:

      Iran poses
a very serious risk to our nation in the context of video game violence. The NIE said nothing that can be twisted to imply that this risk is any less real than the intelligence that showed Iran was seeking to but yellow cup cakes from Niger. Senator Lieberman will continue to press for war to keep us safe.

OP by Elrond Hubbard:

      Rachael Ray's Dunkin Donuts ads fill me with impotent RAGE.
It was bad enough that she had those idiotic ads that said 'Quick and Delicious. Is 'quilicious' a word?'
No, idiot, but 'moron' is. Look it up.
Then there was 'Quick and Delish.' Look, I love Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffees as much as anyone else, but I hate having to go in there and see giant posters with her smiling, vapid face mangling the English language and making it look 'cute.'
Now, to advertise their (delicious, btw) gingerbread donuts and lattes, they have a new Ray ad in which she says 'Gingerific.'
Gingerfuckingrific.
Is she stupid or something? Or is it the people who write these ads? Who is responsible for this absurdity? I HATE advertising at is (it makes me feel stupid by association), and this dumb garbage really ticks me off. Why don't we dumb ourselves down as a society even further? I mean, I don't think we're stupid enough as it is. Seriously, our powerful intellects are too much of a threat to the backwards people of the rest of the world. Maybe Rachael Ray can teach Geography lessons while she's teaching us English. 'This delish French coffee comes directly from Paris, which is right next to Narnia.'
In closing, since dumbass Racheal Ray can make up idiotic new words, I thought I'd give it a try.
Stupid + vapid + bimbo = stuvapimbo! Is that a word?

I keep forgetting that there is no scientific consensus on climate change. I swear, I'm sillier than Al Gore himself.

We have a survivalist and a bevy of food hoarders on this one block alone. We did okay. So, deer, mushrooms, ferns, fish, clams, crabs, apples, berries, oysters, possum, were left unmolested during the week. I could have distilled water with the help of the folks with generators.

As a waitress said when I moved here a few years ago: "soymilk hasn't found it's way to this end of the Earth yet."

Edit: I saw where gusts reached 120 miles an hour. But we had a short storm like that last year. It didn't last 24 hours as this one did.

36. Comedy Gold.
Thanks to fellow DUers who helped tide me over while Stewart and Colbert are sitting out the strike.

And, thanks to JeffR who separates the candy canes from the lumps of coal so that we don't have to.
