*** DUzy Awards for week ending June 5, 2009 ***

[JeffR]

Welcome to the 327 cubic inch DUzy Awards, recognizing exceptional snark, enlivening satire and epigrammatic sass from the past week on DU. Congratulations to this week's winners!

The DUzy Awards might just be announced every Friday night. Previous awards can be found in my journal.

Note to Mods: Skinner has authorized the DUzy Awards to be posted in GD.

Special thanks to annabanana, Warpy, Stinky The Clown, FlyingSquirrel, LeftyFingerPop, underpants, Canuckistanian, rosesaylavee, jazzjunkysue, Fire Walk With Me, devilgrrl, hootinholler, krispos42, ColbertWatcher, havocmom and NanceGreggs for their invaluable assistance with this edition.

Poll question by SuperTrouper: Who is the Most Irrational and Unhinged Republican?

The nomination of Hon. Sonia Sotomayor by President Obama to become the next Supreme Court Justice has unmasked the GOP as irrational, bigoted, and insane; their idolatry of the Church of Intolerability is now exposed for all America to see. So the question is: Who is the most irrational and unhinged of this group?

:bluebox: Rush Limbaugh

:bluebox: Michele Bachmann

:bluebox: Tom Tancredo

:bluebox: Newt Gingrich

:bluebox: Sean Hannity

:bluebox: Patrick Buchanan

:bluebox: Anne Coulter

:bluebox: All of the Above

      Forkboy: This is like asking which sand pebble started the beach.

      L. Coyote: Really! How about adding siamese twins, Bush/Cheney?

Joined at the lack of humanity! :rofl:

      NYC_SKP: Sharing one brain!11!!!!

With Cheney getting the lion's share of it! :P

      havocmom: They are like those old days of the week underwear

One for each day

      baldguy: Saying a Republican is irrational & unhinged is redundant.

      MadBadger: Booooo...All of the above is a cop out.

      TheKentuckian: Bachmann #1 with a bullet and by a mile

She might just be the least sane employed person in all of Western Civilization.

      Yavin4: Where's The Love for Alan Keyes?

Keyes was an unhinged Republican before being an unhinged Republican was cool.

      saltpoint: A persuasive case could be made for all of the above.

In any given week, in fact, we're talkin' a photo finish.

With the horses running backwards.

At press time, "All of the Above" was winning with 48% of the votes, but Bachmann had racked up an impressive 32%.

On a thread by Jeffersons Ghost: Marcel Marceau auction nets nearly 500,000 euros

"The battered top hat of legendary French mime Marcel Marceau, his signature sailor suit and other belongings have fetched nearly 500,000 euros ($700,000) at a two-day auction.

Marceau's daughter, Camille, organized the auction to settle her late father's outstanding debts that had helped finance his show. Marceau died 2007 at age 84..."

      MorningGlow: First to ask

Was it a silent auction??

Yeah yeah I know...too easy. :eyes:

      walkaway: How much did they get for that ...

invisible box?

      Gidney N Cloyd: There are a lot of counterfeit invisible boxes out there. That probably held the price down.

And pieces of the invisible rope are as common as cross fragments.

      Stevenmarc: .



      QueenOfCalifornia: It was a quiet little affair

On a thread by marmar: Bush calls Clinton 'brother'

"Former President George W. Bush called ex-President Bill Clinton 'his brother' and the two rarely disagreed in their first-ever appearance together on stage.

The Republican and Democratic ex-presidents defended each other at a Toronto forum on Friday, disappointing some in the crowd of 6,000 who expected a more heated debate..."

OP by global1: If Obama Picked "God" For SCOTUS - How Would The Repugs Reject Him?........

Just curious - we all know that anybody Obama would have picked to fill the SC vacancy - would have been rejected by the Repugs. They are really going off the deep end saying Sotomayor is a racist - and comparing her with the likes of the KKK and David Duke.

How would the Repugs reject "God" - our ultimate judge - if Obama would have picked him/her?

Come on DU - this has got to be good for a few laughs.

      provis99: God is too easy on the death penalty.

He let Noah and family live.

      Cronus Protagonist: God keeps making these homosexuals, and he loves the poor

And JESUS!!! WTF!!! ???

      Starbucks Anarchist: They'd say he's a bigger celebrity than Paris Hilton.

And that he thinks the world revolves around him.

      DrToast: God? You mean the deadbeat dad?

Left it up to the mom to raise his kid. Those aren't the values we need in a Supreme Court Justice.

      KamaAina: Too empathetic

:eyes:

      rocktivity: He's an unwed father who knocked up a married woman

Holy family values, Batman!

:eyes:

      annabanana: (nonono - This would make him a REPUBLICAN nominee)

      Kaleko: God? Way too easy on crime.

Lets it happen all the time!

Flip flopper. Creates stuff, then destroys it, WTF?

Blatant disregard for the law as evidenced by resumé.

Yet another white male, and a Jew... eeww! And much too old to begin with.

Totally unacceptable choice for the US Supreme Court.

      Adsos Letter: God has an obvious religious agenda, and it's antithetical to theirs.

      denem: He's not a Republican.

:evilgrin:

      pnwmom: He's too creative, doesn't stick to facts. An activist. Makes his own laws. n/t

      old mark: ...and that beard.....

On a thread by Forkboy: Romney's schedule hints at run in 2012

"Ask Mitt Romney about his presidential ambitions, and he artfully demurs. But his schedule keeps looking like that of someone who has his eyes on 2012.

The former Massachusetts governor, who sought the GOP nomination last year, was the keynote speaker last night at the Virginia Republican Party's big Commonwealth Gala dinner in Richmond, his latest

appearance before the party faithful..."

      Mayberry Machiavelli: Does anybody actually LIKE this guy? Outside CPAC?

:shrug: Serious question.

      sarah553807: I swear to god

The one thing liberals and conservatives have in common is that they hate this guy

      old mark: I still wanna know....

What the fuck kind of a name is Mitt?

      Forkboy: When he was born his parents said, "Aw shit." The doctors misheard.

:)

      Happyhippychick: I guess he has another $54 million burning a hole in his pocket.

Poll question by Jackeens: Which gate is potentially the most damaging to the Obama presidency?

There are lots of gates so far, but undoubtedly the BIG two involve mustard and a date - so there'll be no 'other' option in this poll. Sorry.

:bluebox: Mustardgate

:bluebox: Dategate

:bluebox: Mustarddategate (that'd be both)

:bluebox: I have a hunch he'll survive both gates

At press time, "I have a hunch he'll survive both gates" was winning with 81% of the votes.

On a thread by drmeow: Matador gored in Madrid bullring

"Thousands of spectators watched in horror as a matador was gored during a bullfight in Madrid.

Israel Lancho was rushed to hospital after he was attacked by the enraged animal at the Spanish capital's Las Ventas bullring..."

      Towlie: Too bad the bullfighter wasn't named Juan. (The bull would have scored "a hole in ...")

      MrSlayer: Occupational hazard.

Score one for the good guys.

      ThirdWorldJohn: Originally it was decided not to release the picture for fear that there would be ...

attacks by the bulls against the remaining matadors that entered the bullring in the future

On a thread by kpete: A third-grader's biography of Dick Cheney

"Dick Cheney was the 43rd president of the United States. The second George Bush needed a ruining mate, and Dick Cheney chose himself. When terrorists hijacked planes on 9/11, Dick Cheney tried to shoot one down. Then he invaded Iraq because it was a bad country with lots of oil. He liked to hurt people and fish. One time he shot his friend in the face, and the friend said he was sorry for getting in the way.

Dick Cheney had four heart attacks and went to the inauguration of Barack Obama in a wheelchair. He was a great president because he kept America safe except for 9/11, and the soldiers killed in Iraq, and the friend he shot in the face."

http://michaelwolffe.blogspot.com/2009/05/third-graders-biography-of-dick-cheney.html

      Towlie: Cheney was a capable "ruining mate", but did Bush really need his help to ruin the country?

      FlyingSquirrel: Dick Cheney also liked his privacy...

so he removed himself from Google Earth, marked everything that he wrote or looked at as "Top Secret", and had a man-sized safe in his office. I'd tell you what he kept in the safe, but then he would have to kill me.

On a thread by yellowwood: Microsoft's "Bing" Search Engine Now Operating

"Bing is the new Microsoft search engine slated to replace the existing Live Search. The service was unveiled on May 28, 2009 and will officially launch on June 3, 2009.

Bing will differ functionally and cosmetically from both Live Search and its competitor Google. Bing varies search results according to the subject of the search, and pulls in more content from other sources than search engines have conventionally done. Its features include a navigation panel with which the user can switch between different kinds of searches, summarized contents of search results, and pop-up windows that show the search query keywords in the context of the page..."

      shadowknows69: A Microsoft search engine?

Why don't I save the virus guys some time and just pour a Pepsi directly onto my hard drive.

      willing dwarf: Terrible name, chosen by a committee?

I could see Bingo or Bring or even cherry (as in to cherry pick) but Bing sounds ridiculous.

Maybe it will croon its answers?

      onehandle: Would you let Chandler Muriel Bing perform your vital searches?

Maybe it's specifically engineered to seek celebrity dirt.

      area51: "Would you let Chandler Muriel Bing perform your vital searches?"

You beat me to it.

"Could there BE any worse a search engine?"

I can't resist a silly joke. :bounce: :silly:

      MessiahRp: THIS is the computer/data job Chandler was working on all that time...

They kept it vague all this time for proprietary reasons!

      DefenseLawyer: Bing Crosby is still very popular with the over 80 crowd.

Gotta tap new markets! Think outside the box errrr something.

      Buzz Clik: No doubt it's buggy, will cause your computer to lock up, and will require a service pack

      HopeHoops: I haven't tried Chlamydia or Leprosy yet either - I'm not interested.

      onehandle: "Why don't you Chlamydia that on the Internet?"

Well, at least it sounds like a process.

"Bing" makes me think of a system error. Maybe even the blue screen of death.

On a thread by jefferson_dem: Typical. The Jake Trapper - Matt Sludge Tag Team: "The Emergence of President Obama's Muslim Roots"

"ABC News' Jake Tapper and Sunlen Miller report: The other day we heard a comment from a White House aide that never would have been uttered during the primaries or general election campaign.

During a conference call in preparation for President Obama's trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said 'the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to -- or before he's been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world -- you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father -- obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago...'

Since the election, however... the White House has been increasingly forthcoming about the president's roots. Especially when reaching out to the Muslim world..."

But I guess saying that you're one of the "mods" around here might get confusing.

      vixengrl: Er, I might be old enough as a DUer to be a clique unto myself.

You all just showed up while I was still here and I let you all do your thing. Hmmph!

No, "psych", just kidding. I don't have a clique to my everlasting shame. I wish one would adopt me. I'm nice and sometimes funny! If there are cliques, will one adopt me? (I'll cry if there's no response--and then get a refill of my beverage, and then post again, just so you all know.)

34. Procedure for DUzyz...RKR

Reccomend, Kick, and Read!
Thanks, JeffR! :yourock::applause:

OK...I've been noticing something.
In your headings you customarily use three two-word phrases to describe the week's DUzys.
This week it was "exceptional snark, enlivening satire and epigrammatic sass".
In all of the phrases, you (well, of course you, since you wrote them, but I meant 'you' as in "everyone") can see that "e____ s____" motif.

I've seen this pattern since the Revampization (:wtf:...izzat a real word?) Of The DUzys...you've used it every week. It's not always e-s, but the same two letters are used for each two-word description.

What is this particular literary device called? It's not alliteration; that would require using the same letter for all the descriptive phrases.



:kick:

36. Good question

After careful thought, I can say with considerable confidence: I dunno.

Actually I've gotten lazy and used "exceptional snark etc." for weeks now. Time to mix it up again, I guess.

[old mark]

35. Certainly some funny peole around here.....

....in a good way, of course...:evilgrin:
