Please help a DUer that has been out of touch with what has been going on for 2 weeks.

[hang a left]

I have been in the hospital and I haven't been in touch with reality for a while. It is truly painful trying to find anything out from the local daily or the noise box.

Thanks so much.

[itsmesgd]

1. ok here's the quick DU rundown

Anna Nicole Smith is dead.
The "heart fund raiser" has gotten mixed feelings from some, but they are almost at their goal after two days.
The Iran war looks like it's coming. A third carrier strike group is on the way over to the gulf.
and Anna Nicole Smith is still dead.

[dogday]

6. Don't forget these things

Edward's house is too big. Obama smokes like a chimney. Prince had phallic symbol guitar.. Snickers made a lousy ass commercial....

[mzteris]

13. And Obama's not really

an African American.

:eyes:

[MUAD_DIB]

10. Not to mention Anna Nicole Smith...

[SteppingRazor]

2. Last two weeks have been all Anna Nicole Smith, all the time...

oh, and the Libby trial goes on.

And some female astronaut drove all the way from Texas to Florida without stopping, wearing diapers to avoid bathroom breaks, in order to allegedly kidnap and murder her rival in a love triangle that also involved a male astronaut. They found the lady wearing a trenchcoat, armed with a knife, a BB gun and pepper spray, also with a wig, trash bags and rubber tubing.

So there's that.

[itsmesgd]

4. I cant believe that I forgot about the astronut

[Midlodemocrat]

5. You know, instead of pepper spraying her victim, she

should have tossed that diaper at her.

That would have knocked her out cold.


:rofl:

[halobeam]

14. LMAO

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Ha - did you hear Frank Rich this am on Imus - he was funny

when asked what he thought about Anna Nicole - he said he was sorry it
pushed the astronaut diaper story off the frontpage.

News cycles are so damn funny that way.

3. what itsmesgd said and...

we missed you! Feeling better? :hug:

[hang a left]

17. yeah

thanks for asking. :hug:

[BurtWorm]

7. What's the last thing you remember?

The Senate can't muster a filibuster-proof majority for the anti-surge resolution. Obama is in. Biden insulted African-Americans (particularly Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Carol Moseley Braun and the memory of Shirley Chisolm) by calling Obama the "first mainstream African-American who is articulate, clean, bright..." to run for president. Hundreds of Iraqis have been killed. Dozens of Americans have been killed, including a bunch who were shot out of the skies over Iraq. And the Bushists are pushing us closer to war with Iran.

Hope you were feeling better before you read all that.

[MUAD_DIB]

8. It's 24/7 Anna nicole Smith. Nothing else matters.

Australian PM Howard insults Obama.

5-6 helicopters have either "crashed" or have been shot down in Iraq.

Bush Admin says Iran is supplying weapons to Iraqi insurgents, but the markings on the weapons have a Gregorian date mark not Persian.

Everybody is claiming to be the father of ANS's baby.

Good Morning America stroke Mitt Romney this AM and said that he had balanced the buget in Massachusetts...even though that is a lie. MA is about a billion in the red.


Did I mention Anna Nicole Smith?

[Kingshakabobo]

11. Bush and Cheney are in prison. Pelosi is president.........

Limbaugh finally got caught with a live boy and Karl Rove was eaten by wild boars.

Seriously, you should check out the Plame threads. Lots of interesting stuff there.

[uppityperson]

21. I like your version

[demnan]

12. I hope you are feeling better

Congress is debating the Iraq war. They each get 5 mintutes. I think that is the biggest thing right now.

Oh, and Obama had a good comeback to the Prime Minister of Australia this weekend. The Prime Minister said some nonsense about al Qaeda praying that Obama would win because he wanted to pull the troops out of Iraq.

Obama replied that it was easy to be for the war if you only have 1,400 troops over there. And if the Minister were really serious he'd help out more.

19. thanks a bunch nt

[hashibabba]

15. I'm sorry to hear you were in the hospital. I hope you're all better now.

Al Gore is going to speak at the awards show if "An Inconvenient Truth" wins. Did you know he was also nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize?

See www.draftgore.com for petition to sign to get him to run for president.

[hang a left]

18. hey thanks! eom

[mzteris]

16. what else...

Hillary Clinton can't win as she's part of a 'dynasty'.

Obama can't win with white voters because he's black.

Obama can't win with black voters because he's NOT black.

Today is Retrolounge's Birthday.

GoPsUx is going to Mexico for a week (and NOT taking me with him!)

and along with Anna Nicole Smith -

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

20. Iraq, Iran - my take

Over 2,953 US deaths in Iraq besides the 170 Bush blames on Iran

- The one hundred-seventy U.S. soldiers whose deaths the military attributed to Iran have been killed in Iraq as a direct result of Bush's decision to place and keep them bogged down in the middle of Iraq's civil war, no matter who he claims is ultimately responsible for their demise.

Iran's Defense Against an Imminent U.S. Attack

- Bush has been engaged in an active campaign of interference in Iran's political process to bring about regime change in Iran -- not through any valid exercise of democracy or democratic principles and practices -- but through the fomenting of unrest within the sovereign nation, and through the intimidating influence of another reckless exercise of our military forces.

Is Gates Stirring Up Trouble With Iran To Boost Oil Prices?

Bush Elevates Iraq and Afghanistan Over the Rest of the Nation's Priorities

This week Bush will ask Congress to consider his budget limiting the spending of our tax dollars on almost everything else, except to support his militarism abroad.

Where is the EVIDENCE that Iran threatens the U.S. in Iraq or anywhere else?

It's the Bush regime's interest in suppressing Iran's oil influence which is the ONLY reason that Bush is using the weight of our nation's defenses to pressure and provoke the Iranian government and destabilize yet another oil power in the region.

Bush's Muckraking Militarism Toward Iraq And Iran Is The Greatest Threat To Our Security

Bush wants us to believe that Iran, who has never directly threatened our nation or our forces in Iraq, is more determined than he is to escalate the violence in Iraq.
