***DUzy Awards for week ending October 19, 2007.***
Edited on Fri Oct-19-07 06:15 PM by JeffR


Welcome to the DUzy Awards, honoring effulgent effluence, epigrammatic enlightenment and entrancing egregiousness from this week on DU. Congratulations to this week's winners!


The surging DUzies will be announced every Friday, if I get around to it. 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 Yael, Kurovski, Peake, hootinholler, babylonsister, havocmom, krispos42, stellanoir, LearnedHand, unhappycamper, Buzz Clik, malta blue, CaliforniaPeggy, Breeze54, KitchenWitch, TheDoorbellRang, Tuesday Afternoon, rosesaylavee and NanceGreggs for their invaluable assistance.

Now as to that "anal bleaching" thread, well... never mind.


On a thread by NYCGirl:

      McCain: Gore shouldn't have won Nobel Prize
"Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain said the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, announced today, should have gone to someone else other than former Vice President Al Gore.

'I would have liked to see that prize go to the Buddhist monks who are suffering and dying in Burma,' McCain said after a speech this morning in Davenport..."

STFU, Senator Sweatsponge.

response #40 by Ikonoklast:

      Shut up, Grampa John, and get your crotchety 'ol ass
back on the porch. No one wants to hear your opinions about anything.

I didn't hear you say anything about those monks dying two friggin' weeks ago, but NOW suddenly they're important to you?

Go yell at some teenagers.

OP by rinsd:

      Hillary Clinton today announced the sky is blue.

response #1 by Kurt_and_Hunter:

      "Under a hazy grey Iowa sky, the junior Senator from New York said..."
You'll have to do better than that.

Try "To the derision of a skeptical audience, Clinton claimed that the atomic number of Argon is 18."

response #4 by Katzenkavalier:

      Most clouds plan to vote for her.

response #5 by musette_sf:

      in fact, in a national poll of clouds
50% support Senator Clinton.

response #7 by Karmadillo:

      All these polls are bogus. I haven't met a single cloud that supports Hillary.

response #13 by PurityOfEssence:

      Then she reminded us that she had singlehandedly kept the clouds away,
whereupon she walked across the surface of the lake and parted it so we could all follow.

response #14 by Forkboy:

      After massive polling to see if that was the right thing to say.

On a thread by Rage for Order:

       Venezuela Cancels Chavez Critic's ConcertVenezuela's government has blocked a popular Spanish singer from using a stadium because he criticized President Hugo Chavez three years ago. Higher Education Minister Luis Acuna said Alejandro Sanz would not be allowed to hold his scheduled Nov. 1 concert at the Poliedro — a state-controlled stadium — because of his past criticism of the Chavez and his 'Bolivarian Revolution,' a political movement named after independence hero Simon Bolivar..."

response #2 by Bornaginhooligan:

      The performer was seen leaving on a Peace Train.
Baby, I'm grieving.

But if he wants to leave, take good care.

There's lots of good venues out there.

response #28 by ConsAreLiars:

      He has set up secret prisons where torture and murders are common and monitors all communications
Oh, wait, that is someone else....

Yeah, the guy I was thinking of was appointed to office by the oligarchs, not elected. And the singer wasn't just kept from government venues, but banned from the country. That guy murdered a million people

and drove down the living standard of the masses.

Sorry for the confusion - I'm not sure how I got such obviously different individuals mixed up.

And see below for a Special Visual Achievement award from this thread.

OP by Jackpine Radical:

      Al Gore Awarded Second Nobel!!
The Nobel Committee in Oslo today announced that Albert Gore, Jr. was awarded the Nobel Prize in Science for his invention of the Internet.

The Academy loves President Gore, and believes this post was damned funny. Depressingly, some very good folks disagreed.

OP by BelgianMadCow:

      Breaking : Global warming due to Nobel Peace Prize offset by FreeperFreezing
<snip>
Scientists confirm that the sudden spikes of heat all over the US and indeed the world will most likely be offset by subzero temperatures in the region known as Freeperland. This has gone so far that the cyst on Rush Limbaugh's behind is said to have left the building, thereby making Rush eligible for military duty in Iraq.

Congratulations are streaming in from all over the world.

When asked about his comments on the development, the Sole Ice bear On The Shrinking Iceberg said : "I have yet to make a post about this on DU, but Al can come rub my back anytime", after which he gobbled up a large unsuspecting fish. The disappearing species of the American Swallow were last heard saying "this is a victory for the ...aaaaah!".
The surviving Nelson Mandelas in Iraq have been heard to cheer on Al to run, albeit with a very strange accent. Childrens all over the world are using the internets to post self-made drawings of Al on a throne, waving a scepter and making all things good again, but unfortunately many drawings have been scrubbed already, due to inclusion of a fecally besmirched primate-looking politician.

The news was less favorably received in republican circles, with contenders for the presidency threatening to challenge the decision in the International Criminal Court, only to receive the message "you are not a member yet. Subscribe in three easy steps, 3-day free trial". Fred Thompson specifically was overheard saying "uhmmmm" in a very negative way before his siesta, and behind-the scenes SCOTUS bribery negotiations have been started by VP Dick Cheney at an undisclosed location, that will likely be flooded if Al is right. In a desperate move to reverse the Peace Prizes sobering effect on Americans, the Corporate Media has decided to use only blue icy backgrounds from now on, and to have anchors presenting with a fresh wind blowing through their hair, dressed in polar fleeces.

On the economic front, the news provoked mixed reactions. Alan Greenspan commented "this will mean thong bikini sales will continue strong, but they are no basis for sustainable growth". Pollsters on the other hand are doing overtime to find a large enough sample of naysayers, creating jobs on the fly. Ice saw sales are up in Greenland, with notable conservative Eskigimmemore CEO B. Luefacedguy commenting "we are switching back from rowing boats and suntan lotion".

On a less positive note, the Centers for Disease and Crowdcontrol are advocating at least waiting till noon to consume alcoholic beverages, bummer. In case of intoxication, funny dancing all alone is recommended to minimize effects.

Rumor has it that infighting in GDP will halt for a day, but this was denied by anonymous sources, in a snarky manner at that.

      Significantly enough, triple-pepperoni pizza is not on the list.
Therefore, I can only conclude that triple-pepperoni pizza (AKA "God's Perfect Food") is not only non-harmful, but GOOD for you!

Just what I've been saying all along. Thin crust, please.

OP by TwilightZone:

      I'm amazed at how many experts on lying we have at DU.
It's incredible, really. Some people on DU are apparently human lie-detector machines and/or mind readers.

Examples:

If your candidate says something that you agree with, he or she is always telling the truth. Always. Even if he or she is just pandering to a specific audience.

If your candidate tells a falsehood or takes a stance that you personally disagree with, he or she was just misinterpreted or misunderstood. We will then be told what the candidate *really* meant.

In other words, your candidate always tells the truth, and if he or she is lying, he or she is really telling the truth.

If a candidate you don't support says something that you agree with, he or she must be lying. Candidates other than your own *always* lie.

Did I say always? I meant always, except for the following:

If a candidate you don't support says something that you disagree with, and by extension, something you can use to attack said candidate, he or she is suddenly telling the truth.

In other words, all of the other candidates always lie, unless a statement can be used against them. Then, they're telling the truth.

Got all that? :)

response #1 by Atman:

      Liar.

OP (excerpt) by SoCalDem:

      Al Gore needs to remain "the best president we never had".
We all had a chance to have him as president but his own party did not fight hard enough for him... he "knows" that. he was the smart guy..the details guy..the guy who had the common sense and the work ethic to do the job, but we passed on him..and got ourselves the guy who stands in the street, straddling his bicycle, directing traffic & eating his boogers...

On a thread by ck4829:

      Get ready for the War on Christmas of 2007
"Like Christmas music and decorations, rumblings from the Right about a mythical 'war on Christmas' come earlier every year. In the second week of October, we have perhaps the first entrant: the American Family Association — fresh off its success in bombarding newspapers with angry letters demanding they stop running a television ad — is warning its supporters that the web site for a cookie company is not using the word 'Christmas.' As usual, this is translated into an effort to 'offend Christians' and 'ban Christmas':

'Mrs. Fields has become the first company to ban Christmas from their products and promotion for this year. … Mrs. Fields wants the business of Christians who celebrate Christmas, but they don’t mind if they offend Christians...'"

response #10 by DefenseLawyer:

      The War on Christmas is a quagmire
We need the Surge on Christmas this year.

response #15 by Ikonoklast:

      Since the Surge on Christmas is failing
It has been decided to declare New Years Day an official sponsor of state terrorism.

response #18 by DefenseLawyer:

      At least Salvation Army is in its last throes
Just a few dead-enders ringing bells

response #22 by Ikonoklast:

      I heard that we got their #2 man yesterday, again,
That's the fourteenth Salvation Army Major done in.

You'd think they'd be running out of volunteers for that fatal '#2' spot.

In other news, fruitcakes smuggled in from 'foreign agitators' have been increasingly spotted in circulation, giving credence to the fear of WMD's being used in the conflict.

Such escalation is certain to bring out retaliation in the form of re-gifting crappy sweaters in hideous shades of green to the parties responsible.

Where will it end.

response #12 by TahitiNut:

      Can Christmas surrender? Or does it just turn the other cheek?
How much territory does it have? Any natural resources?

off the face of the earth.

First, it was 'America the Beautiful,' then the National Anthem, and THEN 'God Bless America'...come ON... :puke:
That was serious overload. All that was missing was Lee Greenwood riding out on a Clydesdale blaring 'God Bless the USA' while shooting off six-guns.
Meanwhile, one of the stallions was trotting around the arena, its rider proudly waving the American flag. How obnoxious. Don't bring the horses into this, bro!

      "Recently, a thought captivated my mind that proves that the theory of evolution is a big hoax."

response #2 by Marr:

      I love it when ignorant schmucks fire up their "common sense".
I can't even tell you how many times I've had exchanges with people like this, and they say things that are just too intensely stupid to even acknowledge, thinking they've really come up with some new angle, some unassailable bit of proof. Anyone who could think their arguments sound logical or convincing is just too damn stupid to waste words on anyway.

My personal favorite remains the guy who thinks bananas are proof of intelligent design. "Hey! They fit perfectly in my hand", he says, "god clearly intended me to eat them!".

Well, they fit perfectly up your ASS, too-- but I don't think that's proof that god is a pervert.

OP by yurbud:

      After Nobel snub, Bush hopes to be judged by the HagueAfter a terrifying temper tantrum when he heard that his one time political opponent Al Gore had won the Nobel Prize, President George W. Bush was consoled when he heard the judges at the Hague would be far more likely to vote for him. When President George W. Bush heard that Al Gore won the Nobel Prize, he terrified White House staff by smashing vases, slapping and kicking any servants that crossed his path and demanding to know why they hadn't bought the prize for him, drinking two bottles of cooking sherry, and refusing to take his psychiatric medications. By Saturday, his handlers were able to calm him somewhat by sending him on a bike ride and promising he could watch ESPN the rest of the day when he returned.

      Lucille Ball tells of Ronnie and Nancy Reagan claiming to see UFO
"We were very social at the that time. We loved to go to parties and have people in...One night we went to Bill Holden's for dinner, and it was fun at first, but we couldn't eat until two of the other guests arrived, and they were almost an hour late. The tardy two were Ron and Nancy Reagan. Desi had time for a few extra cocktails, and was sailing by the time the Reagans arrived. They were all out of breath and so excited and said they couldn't help being late because of what happened. Are you ready? They saw a UFO and stopped to watch it. After he was elected president, I kept wondering if he'd have still won if he told everybody he'd seen a flying saucer..."

response #2 by impeachdubya:

      I think the phenomenon can be best visualized as a venn diagram.
One circle, Group "A", contains all the people she has directly insulted, threatened, or otherwise flung her special brand of hate-filled, rhetorical poo at.

The other circle, Group "B", contains all the people who find it 'refreshing' and 'hysterical' and 'witty' when she blurts out her foul crap about Group A.

Trouble is, she can't keep spewing the same garbage over and over again. It gets old. So she has to find new people to insult, making group A bigger. But group B correspondingly shrinks. And she has to throw out fouler and worse crap to keep her knuckle-dragger fans interested, to prove she hasn't lost her "edge". Like Ozzy Ozbourne, she bit the head off a bat onstage, now she needs to bite the head off a chicken. Next week it will be a moose. But that has a tendency to alienate, not bring in, new fans. So group B continues to shrink.

The meth eating her brain probably doesn't help, either.

      BREAKING: New Hampshire moves its primary up to last week
In a bold move, designed to secure for itself the status of first-in-the-nation primary, the state of New Hampshire last week moved its 2008 presidential primary up to last week. While results are still coming in, this sudden change in the national primary calendar has firmly tipped the balance in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

In response to New Hampshire's move, the state of Michigan has declared that its primary will be moved up to last year, resulting in the state's Democratic delegates being split between Mark Warner and Evan Bayh. The Democratic National Committee has responded to Michigan's move by demanding that all Democratic candidates for the nomination cease campaigning in Michigan and pledge to bomb the state once elected.

OP by Kurt_and_Hunter:

      Hillary's not perfect, but at least she supports a Woodstock Museum
So that's pretty cool. But now John McCain (aka Captain Bring-down) wants to harsh our national mellow. He probably wants to spend the money on a memorial to the National Guardsmen at Kent State, or a plaque commemorating the lab where napalm was developed.

Show HillRod some support when she deserves it. Let that freak flag fly, girl!

response #5 by XemaSab:

      This is part of the irritation-factor I have for Hillary
In addition to being a corporatist Goldwater-humper who expects my vote because SISTERHOOD IS POWERFUL, she reeks of the self-indulgency of baby boomers.

Like, let's make Kurt Cobain's house a national monument, give the congressional medal of honor to Eddie Vedder, and build a museum to 90's rock near the site of the first Lollapalooza. :sarcasm:

On a thread by Squatch:

      Flaming squirrel ignites car in Bayonne
"A kamikaze squirrel fell from the sky and detonated a Bayonne woman's car yesterday, police said today.

Tony Millar said firefighters told them it was the work of a buck-toothed saboteur that had been gnawing on overhead power lines connected to a transformer directly above the 2006 Toyota Camry.

'The squirrel chewed through the wire, was set on fire, fell down directly to where the car was,' Tony Millar said. 'The squirrel, on fire, slid into the engine compartment and blew up the car.
They're always coming around here, chewing through the garbage,' he added..."

      Squirrels: The new weapon of mass destruction. n/t

response #2 by Buzz Clik:

      "Slid into the engine compartment"? Eh?
I guess he figured out how to pop the hood ... while on fire.

response #5 by Selatius:

      Would car insurance cover this? Or would they say they don't pay out due to electric squirrel fire?

response #6 by Deep13:

      I was going to write something about how "flaming squirrel" is not something...
...one expects to see in print. Then I saw the attached photo. I was really worried this morning that I might have to suffer throught he day without seeing rodent balls. Fortunately, I needn't have worried.

response #7 by Atman:

      The Flaming Squirrels...weren't they an eighties band?
:hi:

response #11 by NYVet:

      I'm split on this
Should I be glad that the car was destroyed, which temporarily reduced greenhouse gasses, but at the same time, I feel for the squirrel in a "cute fuzzy animal" type way.

Complete with creepy though not burning squirrel pics...

42. Hey silly
Lighten up. But don't tell anyone but I voted for Hagelin when Clinton ran twice.

Yes, that was a throw away vote but I live in the very bluest state, and I knew Clinton would win here. I loved the idea of a meditating Physicist being Pres. It was a total fantasy.

My kid was really young and I took him to the polls the first time I voted during those years. Though he had mostly been exposed to Classical Music at the time, I found myself bellowing in the car on the way home, the Punk Song, "I'm an adult NOW." He laughed very heartily.

I've no idea who wrote that song.

For the record, I wrote my most funny and scathing thing I've ever written about the absudity of impeachment in '99.

Far easier to be funny about sex and the truth, than war and peace. hmmmmmmmm

They are your awards and if you choose to channel a flying nun after awarding yourself, that is well within your rights, as I still comprehend them to be here in North Amerika.

At ease. LOL

Peace

All of a sudden, 10+ months of doing these things pays off big.

This is the kind of response I want, people, right up here^.

56. OK, Clemens would have given his left sac to write like that.
First you institute National Codpiece Day, and now you usher in the era of the "super dollar". That's what you call your "power of the pen."

When is Codpiece day again? And what is more important, what gifts would you like to find under the traditional Mission Accomplished Banner?

Ah, Codpiece Day! A time for families to gather together and contemplate our freedoms wrung from one courageous codpiece...except of course for all those ungrateful phonies otherwise occupied in Iraq.

65. I think Clemens is doing OK for himself, if he could figure out this

whole retiring from the game thing.

I think Codpiece Day is May 1. Personally I wouldn't mind a magnum of Dick Swett under the banner. But I'll probably get another novelty tie again next year.

74. I think Dick Swett is only available in six-packs.
But I'll see what I can do.

And of course, most of the best at the chimp's expense.

58. Mr. JeffR, a question: RE "BREAKING: Dennis Hastert resigning!!"
Is this the visual by Swamp Rat you were refering to? It's #32.

64. Yes, that's technically true
but somehow it has a real #21 sort of feel. The color, the composition - I don't know what it is, but something about it just screams #21 to me.:blush:

78. Again, stlsaxman
"The Gore's Prayer" is a beauty.

I hear FOX news is debating whether or not to attack it as being "too partisan". The problem is in that they can't decide whether it would hurt or help their cause of advancing the empire. :-) :kick:
