1. Brilliant!

:rofl:

[Skidmore]

2. Actually, the word of choice is "fabulous'.

Or "superb."

[Poll_Blind]

6. Oh I dunno about that, after the success of the UK TV show...

..."Brilliant", both "Brill" and "Brilliant" have been used popularly as both truthful and semi-sarcastic exclamations.

11. See #4 - I agree! This is pure gold...anyone sent to KO yet? n/t

[yodermon]

12. yes brilliant!

BUT: the Shrubbery came up with the Harriet Miers idea aaallll by his li'l ol' self. Big-time did NOT plant that seed.

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. LOVE IT!

:rofl:

[symbolman]

14. This IS Brilliant!

I should make a flash animation in this style - JIB JAB would do it the best, if you've ever seen their Rapping Founding Fathers it's a real screamer.. been wondering if they did the ads on TV anyway..

But I bet I could do this one :)

Thanks EarlG

[stop the bleeding]

15. Love the beer and I love the post

[H2O Man]

[EarlG]

[dave29]

[Ksec]

19. hehehe thats just brilliant. nt

[jus_the_facts]

21. yeah it's all just HILARIOUS isn't it...... IGNORANT!!!!

...to continue to have to make it all into a fucking JOKE....s'just one more reason everything will continue to be fucked UP...put into humorous context instead of how serious it is...sorry but I'm LOSING my sense of humor every goddamn day that goes by...and I don't give a rats ass who thinks I need to *get over it* either.

[Ksec]

23. someone needs a hug

[faithnotgreed]

26. for some its laugh and for others its cry and still others

there are lots of shades of rage in between
we all have ways in which we "deal" with the devastation and even this kind of laughing is often because of the same feelings youre having

i feel you jus
i really do and am so sorry for the pain and anger you (and countless others) are feeling
not likely to make a difference but i surely send you a hug today
you are not at all alone

[jus_the_facts]

27. thank you....

:hug:

[faithnotgreed]

29. well it matters to me that you feel heard

and know that your feelings are very much respected

some years ago i would also feel absolutely floored that people joked about things and conditions that were so important to me (environmental and political etc)
but various things happened and my body and spirit just couldnt continue feeling so much devastation

i am actually quite lucky i did go through all that i did because now i am at such peace
and given this fascist government i would surely be at my end now if i had continued on my natural path

i dont suggest this is your story but just wanted you to know i do relate to what youre feeling
take good care
i dont want to sound like a hallmark card for progressives but i truly believe that the collective good will overcome their evil

30. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT NT

[berni_mccoy]

31. Let's Scare the Population by Threatening them With a Terrorist Attack...

If they don't vote for you! BRILLIANT!

Let's control the Congress with bribe money via Abramoff! BRILLIANT!

Let's use TERRORISM as an excuse for EAVESDROPPING on our political opponents! BRILLIANT!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

32. Oh My God This Is Fucking Perfect! We Can Have Such A Field Day With This!

What a great concept and a great start. This could be endless and is so spot on in its simplicity and its humor. I hope to see this thread grow and grow for a longgggg time with new ones.

Great Job Francine and Earl! :toast:

[sellitman]

33. self delete

Back to the drawing board,

34. Way more subtle than brilliant.

The subtlety is that we have two brilliant drunks in charge. Brilliant at hiding their chronic alcoholism. Bu$h's chronic drunkenness appeared early in his first term, as the pretzel incident. It has continued, obvious to the world. Cheney's bunker mentality is, in part, to hide his long addiction to beverage ethanol (EtOH). Two drunk frat boys, Vietnam-dodgers too, and a red button. Sleep well my liege. Sleep well.

[Disturbed]

35. Sometimes ya gotta laugh to...

keep from cryin'.

[DemoTex]

39. It's circular ...

Then you cry to keep from laughing. Know what I mean, Vern?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

36. Here's to Francine Fresky!!

:toast: :beer:

[lovuian]

38. LOL!!!

Thanks!!!

[intheflow]

40. Yer killin' me, EarlG!

:spray:

Kicked for the tragic comedic element on DU. :)/:(

[roody]

41. Being joyful in spite of the losers "in charge"

is subversive.

[rucky]

42. I always wondered what would happen if you mix Guiness w/ Xanax. nt

[katinmn]

43. LOL! Thanks for the chuckle.

[Coexist]

44. This made the fridge!

This is now in Daisy-chain form on my fridge. Everyone who sees it laughs.

Great work.

[RepublicanElephant]

45. lol!

great stuff!
:rofl:

[MGKrebs]

46. "Shoot him in the face.."

I never thought of it like that, but it does sound like an incredible dare. Like;

"I'll UNsign a treaty and get away with it!"
" Well, with respect to oneupsmanship, I will have ExxonMobil draw up our energy policy and keep it secret!"
"Oh yeah? I'll have Osama throw the election for me."
"That's pretty good, but frankly, I'll shoot a guy in the face and get away with it."
" Sheeit, I'll attack another country for no reason and my approval rating will go UP!"
"OK. I'll shoot a guy in the face and get away with it, and make HIM apologize!"
"Oh riiiight. I dare you!"

[GoddessOfGuinness]

47. Does this mean

I should change my cybername?

:rofl:

48. When we visited Australia, that's what they all said!

It was very weird especially when ordering in a restaurant. The waitperson would always say "BRILLIANT" to whatever we chose. I love the Aussies, but :wtf:

[WiseButAngrySara]

49. These are great! Thanks for the laugh! ....n/t
