OMG GOP WTF?
I just got this email from Nation Magazine. Let's DU this thing.

Dear Nation Friend:

We think you're pretty smart (hey, you read The Nation, right?).

Now your smarts can be put to good use AND help The Nation raise some money, quickly and easily.

Our friends at CREDO, the progressive mobile phone company, have figured out a way to put all those crazy things the right wingers say to work for progressive causes like us. They put together a quiz to test you on the latest conservative claptrap -- it's called OMG GOP WTF?!.

Every time you answer a question correctly, we get 10 cents. There are five questions, so that means if we get 1000 people to take the quiz and you score okay...we get $500 dollars. Check out the quiz: www.omggopwtf.com .

But, you'll want to act fast. The quiz only benefits The Nation from October 19 to October 26. Next week, it will be a new quiz and a new organization, so don't wait!

Thanks,


Peggy Randall
For The Nation

P.S. Tell your friends! Just forward this message to them.

3. Credo used to be Working Assets
If you use their service (cell phone--Credo or credit card--Working Assets), you cna choose where the money goes (from an extensive list) at the end of the year.

13. I missed the one I should have known...
My first choice was Pat Buchanan, since I hear his opinions everyday, but I guessed George Will. Stupid of me. x(

As for the Republicans, you're right, and I thought of Reagan, too, since he's the only one they ever mention. Who else have they got? And he's not around to prove them wrong... But I couldn't think of anyone living that they have to be proud of. :shrug:

8. Recommended before I even read the topic...
Funniest thing I've read here in some time...Even rivals that parody of a right-wing rant some wrote, which featured the Boudelangism "Koresh" in place of "Koran".

OMG GOP WTF FTW!!!
