[pinboy3niner]

6. ...

[Melinda]

7. Caught that too, however I bet the recipient got the point, n'est-ce pas?

[chalky]

13. From what I've seen of other "angry republicans",

he's more likely to get the point if there are grammatical errors.
Too bad the spelling's correct.

[synapticwave]

11. Hey, not fair.

You get a lot less frosting for a food stamp cake.

[Cha]

8. Beautiful Cake, Melinda! Food Stamps!

[Melinda]

17. Well, bless your heart.

Appreciate the view and kick tho.

[hootinholler]

29. As Larry the Cable Guy would say

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

I would change paid to bought, but it's a great dig, and fucking hilarious.

[snooper2]

38. Is this funny

Q: When is it okay for Republicans to engage in group sex and drug use?
A: After they decide to run for Governor of California


Q: Why should Creationism be taught in schools?
A: Because it leaves less time to teach Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer


Q: Why did Elizabeth Dole consider running for the Senate?
A: To get away from Bob and his little blue pills!


and..

''First Mitt won Iowa, then he lost Iowa? That's a classic Romney flip-flop.'' —Stephen Colbert

[former-republican]

44. I'm sorry guys I don't think using the Presidents picture in this type of joke is funny

I see no difference when the republicans made a joke about putting President Obama's face on the new food stamp cards.

[snooper2]

46. It's okay, not every joke is for everyone..

Your bound to offend someone with any joke ever thought of..

For example, Even though this is funny- someone Might be offended somewhere-



14. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named 'Amal.' The other goes to a family in Spain, they name him Juan'. Years later; Juan sends a picture of himself to his mum. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wished she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, ''But they are twins. If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal.''

[former-republican]

48. lol

[Skittles]

54. that's better than twins named Jose and Hose B

[earthbone]

18. I dont know.

Perhaps we should not rub it in too much ,they are somewhat unstable after all.

[Melinda]

20. After how those rotten pricks threatened women's health care choices...

And, after the threats toward changing SCOTUS and doing away with Roe and...

Pushing "self-deportation"

Medicare vouchers

Raising taxes on the middle class; tax cuts for the rich

Undoing Wall Street, finance and banking regulations

Immigration laws (See Brewer, Jan +AZ)

Denying "climate change" (I still prefer the term global warming)

Fracking

DOMA + Marriage equality

Citizens United

WARS with Iran and Pakistan

Trade wars with China

Increasing military spending

De funding Planned Parenthood

Ending the EPA

Ending Public School and pushing charter/homeschooling (low-info voters of the future)

Stripping Union rights

And I am certain there is MUCH MORE I forgot to list....

After all THAT... I think I am allowed this sweet, delectable, juicy taste of

[center][font size=12][font color=red]Schadenfreude[/font size=12][/center]

[font size=3]However, I do appreciate the response and kick.

**Edited to add: And the food Stamps!! Don't forget who coined the term "Food Stamp President"!!

Schadenfreude indeed, and I am loving it!!

[DCKit]

56. While I totallly agree with you, I'm keeping my Schadenfreude here on DU.

I've got friends and family who are devastated by their loss, I'm not going to rub it in. Yet. We're better than that.

[allan01]

19. re: This cake was presented to an angry Republican at work this morning...

@ Melinda. love it . love it . riot. riot .

[Melinda]

24. OoooOhhh, I love me some Muttley!!!

Danke Allan, that puppy am on point!!!

[PA Democrat]

21. Was that picture taken with a free "Obama phone" ?

Remind me how much money the Bush administration lost track of in Iraq again??????

[hootinholler]

40. Sept 10th, 2001 Rumsfeld announced $2 Trillion missing from the pentagon.

Funny how that got lost in the news cycle.

[harmonicon]

60. Wasn't that also the day...

he said something like he was "declaring war on the pentagon." I know he used a variation of that language. When the pentagon was actually attacked, you'd think he'd be scrambling to apologize... *sigh* but of course not. It was simply never mentioned by the media again.

[Doc Holliday]

22. My boss's wife

and the boss himself are staunchly anti-Obama. She brought a cake in to the office staff that I wish I'd taken a picture of. A simple chocolate cake with lots of icing and cherries on top, and the words "We Will Survive" in bold white letters.

Something inside me just wouldn't allow me to eat any of it.

No doubt the boss would have asked me "Why aren't you having any cake?" if he hadn't been off hunting in Montana all week. Nothing like killing a few animals to make you feel better about losing an election.

[Melinda]

25. Good for you Doc! I hope you aren't subjected to harassment at work!

I can't imagine being in your shoes! I'd probably have asked her to sing a few bars, ala Gloria Gaynor, or asked her if she'd meant to buy a 'chocolate' cake - and lost my job in the process!!

[mountain grammy]

61. My ex boss was a Rmoney supporter

She supported W and McCain when I worked for her. I remember how happy and excited she was when McCain picked Palin.. I was too, but for a different reason (I knew he picked a loser.) Now I'm retired and she's my ex boss. We're still friends, but don't talk politics. Since I'm receiving Social Security and, now, Medicare, I guess President Obama is my boss now. Thank God, because the other guy would have fired me!
I love this cake, but not the "food stamp" reference, I think it feeds the crazies. Let's concentrate on real solutions like raising the minimum wage and universal health care so working people will no longer need food stamps to survive! My suggestion for the caption is "we all built it!"

[Initech]

23. That is an epic win!!!!

[Melinda]

26. lol, can you imagine all the similar stories you know are occuring this week? Priceless!

Thanks Initech!

[Initech]

34. Yeah we should keep a "greatest hits" list!

[lunasun]

27. Revenge is best served cold......wth a little frosting is a nice touch too

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. That's rather cold

But funny none the less.

[Sophiegirl]

30. Obviously just me...

... But I'm not seeing the humor in this.

[Libby2]

71. Obviously.

I think it's great.

[NBachers]

32. Was it delivered in a welfare Cadillac?

[Nika]

33. Great Idea, I am going to have a local baker make me a similar one for a deserving friend.

[Major Hogwash]

35. That is hilarious. I think I should give one to my Governor!!!!

The Governor of Idaho, Butch Otter, was being interviewed on tv on election night.
Just after NBC had called the state of Ohio for President Obama.

Just to let you know what a frickin', king-sized super-dee-duper moron our Governor is, the news woman that he was talking with asked him what it would mean to Idaho, now that it seemed that President Obama had been re-elected.

The interview took place only about 5 minutes after they had called the state of Ohio for President Obama.
But, the Governor is such a ginormous moron, a frickin' lunatic, he just looked at her and said, "Well, NBC has been wrong before."


But NBC wasn't the only network to call Ohio for President Obama. In fact, Faux Snooze and CNN had already called Ohio by then.

Then the Governor went on to say that people should vote for Romney because he is so good at creating jobs, and he is such a great businessman, blah, blah, blah.

But, by then, it was over.
President Obama had won Ohio, he had been re-elected!!

And I thought, Jesus Sesame, this Governor is an idiot!
He might as well be sucking on the dick of a dead bull elephant!

And then I realized . . he was!!

[Melinda]

43. lmao, Your story's ending was quite a visual!!

And now I know exactly how that cake should be decorated too, LOL!!!! Thanks a BUNCH for THAT!!

[Blanks]

64. Butch Otter spoke to my high school government class...

In 1978. I think he was running for governor then.

I think people were smarter then. I'm pretty sure he lost. It seems that it was pointed out that he's J.R. Simplot's son in law.

He may have been running for a different office (it was after all; a long time ago), but back then, it seems, politicians tied to big money was viewed as a bad thing.

Isn't J.R. Simplot the 'Idaho Potato' giant?

[WhatsGoodForAmerica]

36. Unfourtuantly

This makes us democrats seem bitchy. We won. We don't need to rub it in.

[nc4bo]

37. We earned that brag. Plus let them eat cake! nm

[Melinda]

41. Well, if you're offended by this OP, you're gonna REALLY love this one:

I was coming from a place of pure.... ummm, ahhhh, ummmm.... how you say, deep feelings - yeah, that's it. I was espousing, immediately after the election about What's Good IN America.

Have a good time with this one, dear. Oh, and the word "Democrats" is capitalized. Jus' sayin'. Oh, and welcome to DU

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021740217

[Gemini Cat]

52. How is that rubbing it in?

[nc4bo]

65. OP, Elvis and Romney have all left the building.

[lonestarnot]

39. Now that is quite a fucking cake!

Cursing disease is back until the votes are counted in AZ!

[Melinda]

42. I'm right fucking there with you!

Mother fuckers need to count the votes, and change the shitty system too! Fuck!!!

[lonestarnot]

45. You going downtown?

[Melinda]

47. Okay, I'm not LITERALLY with you in AZ....

But I am in spirit!!! Most especially when it comes to bouncing these ofttimes naughty words on DU, lol.

Go get those fuckers lonestarnot!

[Blue Owl]

55. In your fucking face mofos

[MoonchildCA]

57. Today I posted on my fb status

"Can someone check my front porch to see if my free stuff is here yet? I'm too lazy to get off my couch..."

I'm not sure many people got it, but oh well.

[JimGinPA]

62. I'm So Stealing That!

[Wind Dancer]

69. LOL!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

72. Funny!

[jtuck004]

58. And it cost more than one of the hungry kids on food stamps gets for an entire day. Or

maybe several days. But they won't have it 'cause it's being eaten in an office as a joke. Well, maybe they can find something at an Emergency Room.

Damn, that cake's a side-splitter. I am assuming this was paid for as a"joke" out of pocket, but I honestly would have had trouble enjoying it.

[harmonicon]

59. The cake was paid? It works? I'm going to lose my job and be replaced by a cake? (nt)

[Eyes of the World]

63. Isnt this a rightwing joke?

Because some 47%er used job-creator tax dollars to buy a cake. So the cake proves what the conservative feared all along...No?

I dont find it funny.

After seeing some of the things folks get juried for I cant believe this didnt get someone banned.

I guess a person's intent is revealed by their post count.

But I would have thought I would be banned for such a post. I never would have dared.

DU has become a baffling place.

Somewhere a shark is gazing up in wonder...

[Melinda]

66. Today's word is "Irony".

That is all.

[SpankMe]

68. It's funny at first.

But, when you think about it, this could have been created by a Republican as a right-wing jab, too. We really don't know the actual source and political orientation of the one who supplied the cake. I can see this as an insult, too, if made by a Repub.

[Gregorian]

70. OBAMA MADE PEOPLE POOR!

And we all know, poor people suck.

[sebastianj333]

73. ahahahahahahahahahaha, that's awesome!

love it! thanks for sharing this!
