I'M OUTRAGED AGAIN!

[leftofthedial]

can someone please remind me why?

[fizzgig]

1. i don't know

but CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!

[TOhioLiberal]

2. But...

...there's no one in Congress RIGHT FUCKING NOW! IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!! :rofl:

[fizzgig]

3. lazy bastids

then at least leave them drunken voicemails

[leftofthedial]

7. We just hired them

and they're already going home early?


THAT'S WHY I'M OUTRAGED!

No, wait! That wasn't it . . .

[leftofthedial]

5. so the net effect of the call will be the same

it'll just be a shorter call.

WOOHOO! I'm liking this plan.

[leftofthedial]

4. GOOD idea!

I have them on speed dial . . .

6. Matt Bivens used to do a column at

www.thenation.com called "The Daily Outrage". But he quit shortly after the 2004 election. You could be outraged that his column is gone. Or you could be outraged at today's howler. http://www.dailyhowler.com/

[leftofthedial]

8. I've been outraged at today's Howler

since about 2002

[hfojvt]

9. you mean today's Howler

or every day's howler?

I just read today's. I kinda stopped reading after the election. Being on DU so much, I did not have as much time. I read it off and on late last year, but not daily, like I did before the election.

Funny thing is, after reading today's Howler and Cohen's column, I did not see that much wrong with Cohen. Somerby will probably parse him good though, starting with the "it was Gore who was universally seen as the flawed man, uncomfortable in his own skin and, therefore, in this TV age, incapable of uniting the nation."

Universally seen? No, almost universally derided by millionaire pundits and script creating shills. Possibly he will detail Cohen's part in the Press's 'war on Gore', or how Cohen 'hid under his desk' in the face of it.

[leftofthedial]

11. both

I used to read it daily

but I got tired of it

[MoseyWalker]

10. if you can't remember, then it could possibly be due to

a lack of inner peace. Inner peace. Out Rage.

Find the center and think about it.

[leftofthedial]

12. but I'd need a really sharp knife to reach the center

can I seek the just-slightyly-in-front-of-center instead? Will that work?

I need a poetry fix.

[MoseyWalker]

15. Rage

is seeking something
or someone
outside
of a place that
remains hidden
a cage
yes
anger
speaks for all of us at times
from inside
when we feel
we are trapped
in danger
seek peace
find solace
sometimes in solitude
be amazed
rage has no lingering
emotions to carry it beyond
yesterday
say
yes
say yes.

[leftofthedial]

16. yes

Ahhhhh.

[KitchenWitch]

13. All right, what is it THIS time?

:P

[leftofthedial]

14. Hang on

It'll come to me

It's on the tip of my

[KitchenWitch]

18. You want I should finish your sentence and get this thread locked?

:evilgrin:

[leftofthedial]

19. No, wait!

It really IS on the tip of my

[KitchenWitch]

20. ...

:spank:

[neweurope]

17. Probably for the same reason as I...

...I'm still pondering it, too.

*headscratch*


---------------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[leftofthedial]

21. It does seem to be a pretty much perpetual state

these days.

[neweurope]

23. Yes...

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[neweurope]

24. Oops dupe

[JackBeck]

22. Because you think that people think you're a homophobe

when they don't.

And they also don't blame you for heterosexual white privilege even though you think they do.

[sniffa]

27. spot on

[leftofthedial]

29. well, I guess now I'm a little less outraged

thanks!

:hi:

[meegbear]

25. Cuz you're oppresed by the man ...

man.

[leftofthedial]

30. Wait!

I thought I WAS the man.

Now I'm really outraged!

[taterguy]

26. Because of what's being done to the soil in the country

[leftofthedial]

32. and the air

and the water

and the very fabric of human existence

[guitar man]

28. careful

you don't want to get outrage fatigue

[leftofthedial]

36. Isn't it amazing how beginning in December of 2000

The Onion became more factual than the mainstream media?


Thanks! Onion links always make my day better.

[Hugin]

31. Is it because Al Gore owns a house? nt

[leftofthedial]

34. yes, of course

but it's more than that

I heard John Edwards owns one too!

How many houses do these people need?

[reyd reid reed]

33. 'cause it's gonna snow again?

And they won't say where?

[leftofthedial]

35. those lying bastards are just toying with us

trying to keep our outrage at enough of a peak to distract us from the fact that they don't know what they're talking about.

Ah, but some of us are onto them!

[reyd reid reed]

37. Yeah. Those of us with windows.

I still say they'd do a lot better if they looked out of one every once in a while and I'm OUTRAGED that they don't bother.

Sheesh.

[leftofthedial]

38. It is nothing

if not OUTRAGEOUS!
