Welcome to the DUzy Awards, honoring choice cheekiness, challenging chortles and charming chippiness from this week on DU. Congratulations to this week's winners!

On a thread by cat_girl25:

      I always had this fear of fleeing from an escaped Gorilla at the Zoo.
"AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -- A 400-pound gorilla escaped from his enclosure and ran amok in a Rotterdam zoo Friday, biting one woman, dragging her around, and causing panic among dozens of visitors before he was finally subdued, officials and a witness said..."

response #1 by Bucky:

      You know, if Charlton Heston were there with a gun, this tragedy would have ended sooner
Dutch liberals creating their own little simian hell because they refuse to allow their citizens the right to carry guns in public. Yet if Holland were a well armed society, this tragedy could have been prevented.

response #9 by rasputin1952:

      Incredible....
"It was not immediately clear how he managed to climb the high stone walls surrounding his enclosure."

He's an ape, they climb, they ford rivers, they swing from things.... :dunce:

Besides, I thought stuff like this only happened in NYC...Great Apes grabbing women and running around climbing buildings...now they go to a Bistro????.. :P

response #3 by dsa:

      as a physicist
it's obvious kennedy was shot from behind and not from the grassy knoll. and the "single bullet theory" also has to be true. there's no other way it could have happened.

response #4 by PCIntern:

      As a dentist,
there is no question that he was shot from multiple points by at least three shooters. There is no other way it could have happened.

response #5 by parasim:

      As a horticulturist,
I'm just glad to see that the grassy knoll is off the hook.

response #16 by Louis C. Phurye:

      As a lay philosopher,
If a bullet is fired from the grassy knoll, and nobody sees it, does it make a sound?

OP by dave_p:

      Wolfowitz cleared in shock finding
Claims that deposed World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz had a girlfriend were based on “faulty intelligence”, international inspectors have found.

It had been alleged that Wolfowitz was involved in a relationship with former Bank communications officer Shaha Riza, for whom he arranged a $61,000 pay raise following his appointment.

But new photographic evidence indicates that claims were “sexed up” by members of the anti-Wolfowitz coalition, which included most of the Bank’s staff and member countries.

"Pre-resignation intelligence suggested that there was some kind of liaison going on," a member of the inspection team said, "But photographs of Mr Wolfowitz now convince us that he has never had sex."

Analysts are now asking why Mr Wolfowitz failed to demonstrate that he had no sex life before the coalition operation. “It looks like he wanted people to believe he had a girlfriend so he wouldn’t seem such a total jerk”, said one.

Mr Wolfowitz refused to comment beyond saying that his job at the Bank prevented him from speaking about Iraq.

response #2 by SpiralHawk:

      "Oh Volfie, sex up my evidence, you comb-licking beast you." - Sha-haaa
"You and your republicon cronies are, like, a totally hot and heinous pack of ravenous 'SPECIAL' cases.

"No one in history has ever done sanctimony as shamelessly as you 'buttoned-down' republicons, while at the same time indulging so gluttonishly in lies, corruption, sexual deviancy, war profiteering, and disloyalty to the great ideals and laws of the United States of America.

"Tell me, Volfie, dahlink, vy do you republicons HATE America?"

- Sha-haaaa

OP by Atman:

      What is Pat Buchanan's actual JOB?
What does he do? It seems his only purpose in life is to sit in with any talking head show who'll give him a sandwich and a cup of coffee and tell them what he thinks. And to somehow convince them to invite his sister, Bay (as in "at the moon") along when he's not available. But seriously...what does it say on his business card? Who the fuck is Pat Buchanan, and why the hell does anyone listen to him? Has he ever been right about anything?

response #14 by warren pease:

      By day, he's an underpaid, non-union janitor at NBC headquarters...
...where he fights the noble class struggle with a floor polisher and a dust pan. He also spends his days storing up resentment and rage at being employed in a position so far beneath his inflated sense of his own capabilities.

Then, when 5:00 rolls around, he drops the dust pan, puts on a threadbare suit and an '80s tie, gets makeup to turn him from an octogenarian toad into the wingnut adonis we all know and esteem, and spends his evenings spewing the venom and hatred he's accumulated during his day as a pissant wage slave.

I know it's unlikely, but it explains so much, including how such a talentless, chronically wrong, vicious, ugly little bastard can manage to pay the rent on his cold water walk-up Bronx tenement.

      OMG! NOTHING HAPPENED!
This ought to be good for a thousand re-runs today. CNN even pulled Smiles O'Brian out of mothballs to narrate the live non-crash. Meanwhile, a bus with a flat tire didn't crash in Chicago today; and an Ohio man with a weed-whacker cut into his own electrical cord but didn't get electrocuted. Film at 1:00, 1:04, 1:10, 1:15, 1:17, 1:22,..........

      Good old Channel 9
The Manchester ABC affiliate broke in with live coverage of this. Apparently, the plane is registered to a company in Derry, NH.

OP by NormaR:

Monica and the Magic Memo: A Morality Tale
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful conservative princess named Monica Goodling. She only wanted to help people, and lead a life of service. And crush Godless liberals. Yes, she wanted to crush the liberals very badly.

Although Monica went to a fourth-tier law school and never tried a case, she ended up as one of the highest ranking lawyers at the Department of Justice by her early 30's. Monica worked very hard! Monica baked brownies. Monica made sure her evangelical friends also got really good jobs at the DOJ, even though they were very very unqualified. That is because Monica prayed very hard! She prayed for Attorney General Ashcroft. She prayed for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. She prayed for President Bush. She prayed that Harriet Miers would find a husband. She even prayed for Kyle Sampson. But most of all, she prayed that Baby Jesus would help her crush the Godless liberals!

"Dear Baby Jesus", she prayed. "I know there are hungry people in the world, and people who are suffering, and soldiers and women and childern who are getting blowed up every day, but could you please answer my prayers first, Baby Jesus? Could you please help me rid the Department of Justice of Godless liberals!!!"

Monica so wanted to do this herself, but she knew it would be illegal! How, oh how, could Princess White House Liason Monica remove the scourge of liberals from her workplace?? Help me, Baby Jesus, you are my only hope!

And, lo, Baby Jesus did wrought a miracle at the Department of Justice.

Baby Jesus created a memo! A magic memo! A memo that listed all of the bad evil liberals that should be fired because they didn't want a theocratic one-party system like St. President George Bush did! The magic memo was pink and purple and sparkly - Princess Monica's favorite colors! And best of all, the Magic Memo created itself, wrote itself, revised itself, circulated itself, approved itself, fired people and then disappeared itself without human intervention of any kind!!!!

When all the mean old nasty Democrats tried to hold Princess Monica responsible for breaking the law, they just couldn't figure out WHO put the names on that lil' Magic Memo!

But Princess Monica knew! It was Baby Jesus! But the oversight committee has no jurisdiction over Heaven, so they could not subpoena him.

And all the liberals were fired! And no human was held accountable, not even Princess Senior Counsel Monica!

And all the conservatives lived happily ever after!

The moral of the story: Don't be a Godless liberal or Baby Jesus will get you.

Amen.
