The Top 10 Conservative Idiots is kaput this week (plus a heads-up)

[EarlG]

Hey guys, I'm really sorry, but there's no Top 10 this week. I got sick on Friday and haven't had the energy to put it together as usual. I'm on the mend now, nothing to worry about, so barring any further unforeseen circumstances it will be back next week.

However... I should probably mention at this point that the Top 10 may go temporarily dark in the very near future. There's actually a good reason for this: my wife is currently eight and a half months pregnant with our first child. The baby could arrive at any time in the next few weeks and it's my understanding that the first couple of months don't give you much time to sleep or eat, let alone write snarky columns on the Internet.

So once again my apologies for missing the list today, and my apologies in advance if the Top 10 suddenly goes on hiatus in the coming weeks.

Cheers :hi:

5. Congratulations EarlG

:toast:

Hope you're feeling better

[Triana]

6. Awwwr! I hope you're better soon and that Mrs. EarlG is doing OK...

...yea babies and sleep are generally not found in the same life. We'll understand, no problem - gotta keep those priorities in order, after all.

Could you recruit some well-versed DUers to write Top 10 for a couple months maybe? Or solicit volunteers?

EDIT: Not that ANYONE could match your supreme snark-factor. You got that DOWN, honey. :)

8. No worries...

(a) your expected additions is work enough, and (b) with the variety of gobsmackingly idiotic conservatives abounding this season, you'd have to switch to a daily version, or make it a Top 20 or 30 instead. That's too much work.

10. You will get plenty of sleep …. In 2 hour intervals ….Congratulations on the Baby 8-) n/t

11. I'm amazed you could limit yourself to just 10.

There are literally thousands to choose from every day.

[SeattleGirl]

12. Get well soon, and congratulations on the coming new babe!

Them bebe's take up a lot of time (but they are well worth it!).

[emilyg]

13. Stay well and a big Congrats!!!!

[Dr.Phool]

14. You should just declare ALL conservatives idiots until the election.

And depending on the results, maybe mega-idiots until the first of the year.

Good luck with the baby. Wish you, the wife, and child the best of everything.

[Dystopian]

15. No apology needed...

Glad you're on the mend, and very happy for you and your wife...
Joy coming your way...

:loveya:


peace~

[Bread and Circus]

16. We know you are just worried you are gonna lose your ass on Wall Street...

don't fool us. ;)

[FVZA_Colonel]

17. Thank you for the heads up, and I truly hope everything goes well for your wife and you.

I must be honest and say I'll miss the top 10, but it's pretty obvious what really matters. Good luck!

[TexasEditor]

18. You'll be so tired and stressed...

It'll be easy to write a snarky column.

[mzmolly]

19. Congratulations!

:toast:

Nope, no eating or sleeping for a few months, or years - depending? ;)

[Dead_Parrot]

20. Contratulations, Earl!

Now go back to bed. You're going to need all the sleep you can get...

:toast:

[Festivito]

21. Mend well, family foremost. Good show.

Love to see the top ten. Always powerful with your own brand of succinct wit, and at times, when simply curt, like fireworks writ.

[Hekate]

22. Well you keep us posted, m'dear

:hug: to you and the missus.

23. When you hear your baby cry, just remember he/she is impersonating Republicans.

[VeggieTart]

24. I'm sorry and congratulations!

Sorry you feel so crappy-get some rest, man, and lots of liquids--and congrats on your impending arrival.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

25. My friend, stay healthy.

Vibes for health and strength to you, the Mrs., and the baby. :loveya:

[BRB_TheFireball]

26. All the best to you and Mrs. EarlG!

In the meantime, I'll amuse myself by re-reading last week's "Reduced RNC".

"Moose!"
"YAY!"
"86% of the media just ejaculated."

[DCKit]

27. We know we're lucky to get whatever bit you share.

Get well, contgrats and tell your wife you love her.

[SDuderstadt]

28. Where in the world are your priorities??

Just kidding. Seriously, get well and congratulations on the new baby! As for the Top Ten list, with the McCain/Palin ticket and the last throes of the Bushies, not to mention the GOP, it all but writes itself.

[annabanana]

29. Well HEY!. . .Howzabout that good news hidden in there...

S'ok about "top 10".. even superhero DU admins catch a bug now & then

AND..

GREAT NEWS about impending augmentation! Keep all your online kiddies informed.

[nxylas]

30. But, but, Democrats hate babies

The only reason we don't like Sarah Palin is because she didn't abort her kids. Abortions, yum.

Hope that satisfies everyone's conservative idiocy cravings. If not, you can read approximately 9083430974 comments just like it over at that other site.

[beac]

31. Glad you are feeling better and CONGRATS on the DUer-to-be!

It will be hard living w/o the Top 10, but we'll all have a few more minutes every week to make calls, canvas, etc!



P.S. Will the child be named 'Liberal Top 10 Dunderground'???? I hear stringing some fav things together is ALL the rage in baby-naming!

[Bossy Monkey]

32. Get well soon (if you're not better already) & be sure to vote on the poll

Do I feel like an idiot for writing the poll before searching for this thread? Well, yes, but I figured it was something like this and the poll is offered in a sympathetic vein.

[Lil Missy]

34. Get well soon, and congrats on the newborn!

[scarface2004]

35. actually because newborns keep you up

[TankLV]

36. Sorry to hear about about your cold - glad to hear about your new toy...

Trust me - you'll probably need a BREAK and the top ten will return sooner than you planned...!!!
