Is there another DU-type forum that is more civil?
I am really tired of this place of late.

      There is Little Pony Princess Park

The pattern is a trifle disturbing.

BREAKING: Jesus Christ to return to Earth to endorse Obama
BREAKING: Jesus Christ to return to Earth to endorse Obama
The King of Kings to endorse Obama on Tuesday at a rally in Branson.
Critics play down the value of the endorsement.

By Sniffa
Published: January 27, 2008

Branson, MO - Stunning news from the Kingdom of Heaven, as Jesus has announced his long awaited return to Earth; though not to begin the Revelations, but to throw his considerable weight behind the candidacy of Barrack Obama, the Junior Senator from Illinois in his hard fought battle against Hillary Clinton for the Presidency.

The endorsement is a major coup for the Obama campaign, as the Huckabee camp had been actively seeking the Lord's backing. Reached for comment, Governor Huckabee congratulated the Senator on the endorsement, but then went on to question whether this was the one and true, Jesus, further ratcheting up the vitriol in an already, increasingly negative campaign.

"If one takes a look at where the endorsement is going to take place - Branson - one has to seriously question whether this is really the true Jesus, or is it the Mormon Jesus" said Huckabee. "And as I'm sure I don't need to remind you, Mormon Jesus is the brother of Satan. That's not a potato sack I wish to climb into."

The Clinton campaign was also quick to dismiss the endorsement. In a conference call with reporters, Chief Clinton strategist Mark Penn questioned whether the endorsement would make much of a difference.

"Look, when you take a step back and look at the big picture, this endorsement doesn't mean that much," opined Penn. "Polling trends have shown that church attendance have been on the wane for decades. And I'd also like to point out that Barrack Hussein Obama has claimed that this race is about the past versus the future. Well you can't get more in the past than 33 A.D."

Mark Penn went on to compare the Son of God unfavorably to Senator John Kerry's unsuccessful bid for the White House in 2004.

"Look, it doesn't surprise me that Jesus and Kerry have both decided to join the Obama camp," said Penn. "In 2004, Kerry didn't fight back against the swift boating, and Jesus didn't fight back against the Romans when they crucified him. You can expect the same response from Obama when the right wing smear machine gets going. Senator Clinton is the only candidate with the proven track record of fighting back."

The Obama campaign plans to release a statement later today.

OP by Peregrine Took:

      I'm going to be really p*ssed at any Democrat I see cheering tomorrow
night - even the merest HINT of clapping, grinning, nodding, standing, cheering, (shudder..) hand shaking will be duly noted and concomitant disgust recorded in my notebook for future reference.

response #1 by IanDB1:

      You're either with the pResident, or you're with the switchgrass and animal-human hybrids. n/t

response #4 by rpannier:

      Speaking as the leader of the "Switchgrass-Animal-Human Hybrid" lobby
I will cheer wildly. But only if the supporter of our lobby wins.

I always thought the president was an "Animal-Humid hybrid."

He gets his looks from a chimpanzee, his brains from the starfish (which have none), his charisma from a hippo and his people skills from a Komodo dragon.

OP by hiaasenrocks:

IF John McCain were to ever win the presidency....
here's how the oath of office would sound:

"My friends, I do solemnly swear, my dear friends, that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and, my friends, I will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, my friends."

I'm a political junkie, so I watch almost everything from every candidate on C-SPAN, but I think I'm going to have to stop watching McCain because he says "my friends" about every 20th word.

Anyway, just some lighthearted fun on a Sunday night, MY FRIENDS.

response #3 by Oeditpus Rex:

      That's not what I mean
I won't deal with them unless it's to toss a coupla spitballs, so that's no problem. I meant that every time there's a debate or a primary, we go to Level Fuckstick, and all the people I've ignored for so long are suddenly in my face again. :grr:

OP by alcibiades_mystery:

*******I WILL NOW PRETEND TO HAVE JUST MADE UP MY MIND!!!!*****
For a long time, I struggled with the candidates. Who to choose, who to choose? What a dilemma. Then, I settled on somebody. This was a few weeks ago, maybe even a few months. In order to perfectly time my support, however, I have decided to announce only today, and I will furthermore pretend that I just came to this decision based on the bad actions of other DU posters, because that's the kind of passive aggressive douchebaggery I traffic in.

Supporters of Candidate X have been atrocious, and their behavior has pushed me to my fake decision, which I now announce LOUDLY, with lots of stars and stuff*********, just to make good and sure that the offending supporters know they caused it, and feel bad about themselves!!!! How ya feeling now, offending supporters? It's all your friggin' fault, you big nasty babies!!!!***********

Supporters of Candidate X, furthermore, have offended my age group and gender and race and hair color and toothpaste brand to a point that defies common decency. Here are some more stars: *********. And some additional typographical symbols that indicate disdain////////. They are lower than snailshit, and it's all their fault that everybody on my block in Chicago is voting against their candidate, HARRRUMPH!

Furthermore, I will now proceed to place smiley symbols and general chest-puffery indicating that my age group will reign supreme in the end, because that's how I roll, kiddos, and you're about to get a taste of it, ya hear?

This is how we do in my generation: :spank:

BooYAH! ************************* More stars!!!!

Now I will pretend to end this fake sudden decision announcement with some more self-righteous fakery, that's all about me and my people overcoming great odds and the very nasty nasty nasty threads of Candidate X's supporters, who don't know what they're in for now that I'M in the game supporting CANDIDATE Y. Yizzzzzzzooooooooooo!

OP by fenriswolf:

      I've figured out Lee Mercer, Jr.
Like many of you I never really got Lee mercer. Some poor man with some mild delusions and a very bad hold of grammar was running for president. Big deal. Yeah it was kinda funny in a sad sort of way. But for some reason over the past couple weeks my thoughts drift off and think about this guy.

just who is lee mercer jr? He is a man who is driven to be president. He is a man who has gotten sick of the stupid incompetent idiots that are fucking up our great country and has decided to do something about it. He has seen whats going on, the facade year after year and he's tired of just voting. Goddamit he knows how it should be run and so he's running.

Ladies and gentlemen, lee mercer jr is ..... you and me.

That's right he is you and me. Lee mercer is the spirit inside all of us, even though we may be inadaquate to the task still know deep down inside "Hell I could do a much better job then those A-Holes in office"

Lee mercer jr for president. Cause we all wanna be president.

response #1 by Mythsaje:

      Hell...not me. I just want to CHOOSE the next President. n/t

response #7 by hfojvt:

      But since Lee Mercer is not me, I cannot support him
The next best thing to me as President is somebody like me. What I am like?

I'm far more like John Edwards than I am like Lee Mercer.

John Edwards is smart.
John Edwards cares about the poor and working classes.
John Edwards is stunningly good looking.

See? Just like me.

Well, okay, two out of three, but that ain't bad.

I miss the good old days when journalists had a little integrity, when there was no such thing as Fox News, when people stood up to the government, when protests scared The White House, and when the media weren't obedient lap dogs.

      Huckster mocks Mittens removing skin from KFC
"Mitt Romney took a stop off the trail Saturday, and shared a meal with his traveling press corps. The food? Colonel Sanders� fried chicken, and biscuits. Romney, known for his healthy eating habits, however, pulled off the skin. For some Southerners, a culinary faux pas..."

Today, FNC asked Huckabee, how he as a Southerner, and someone who is also known for his healthy diet (Huckabee famously lost 110 pounds) eats the calorically-colossal, but Southern gastronomic mainstay...

'... any Southerner knows that if you�re not gonna eat the skin, don�t bother with calling it fried chicken,' Huckabee said through a smile...

Huckabee said it reminded him of an event when he was a graduate student in San Antonio. President Gerald Ford, in what is now famously part of political folklore, ate a tamale with its corn husk still on it, which is comparable to eating a blue crab, or lobster without taking off its shell..."

OP by Philosoraptor:

My fellow Americans, I killed your sons & daughters to make my buddies richer.
I've ordered the deaths of over half a million innocent Iraq men, women and children so that my dad and dick cheney could retire with even more billions in the bank, I've decreed over 4000 soldiers into their graves IN VAIN, and I've got the whole fucking world pissed off at America forever. Also, our economy is on the brink of disaster, and the price of oil is higher than ever, thanks to the people who write my speeches.

But all these dead soldiers and dead Iraqis and all the dead in Afghanistan have been worth it, because me and dick are really raking it in, huge profits, we are absolutely swimming in cash every day, seriously, we are making profits like you wouldn't believe, so thanks for offering your sons and daughters for such a noble cause.

I can promise however, that even more soldiers will have to die in vain, because no matter how many trillions in profits we war profiteers make off all this misery, it's just never enough, really, we just want more and more and more till you've all been bled dry, that's how little we give a fuck about you all.

I will soon plan my retirement, and multi-million dollar library, and I will hire hacks to re-write my legacy of failure and greed and mass murder, and I will get away with it all, Scott free, as if I were some sort of a hero instead of the biggest asshole and idiot that ever wasted a breath.

Future republican liars and revisionists will recall the 8 years of my presidency as the greatest years ever for America, they'll say that I saved all of you from terrorists, that I made America safe again, that I've brought democracy to the middle east once and for all, and they'll say that I was really a swell guy.

So in conclusion my fellow Americans, fuck all of you, I got mine, and now I'm packing it up and retiring in baronial splendor to Kennebunkport, Maine on the heavily guarded bush crime family compound.

Thanks for all your money and sacrifices, now go eat shit and die.

And may God continue to bless America.

      the butt is a sexual organ
"The Federal Communications Commission is proposing to fine ABC $1.4 million for airing in 2003 between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. an NYPD Blue episode showing a woman's buttocks. The details are in this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture�. According to the FCC, the episode violated its decency regulations because it depicts 'sexual or excretory organs or activities'. In response to ABC's argument that the buttocks are not a sexual organ, the ruling states:

'Although ABC argues, without citing any authority, that the buttocks are not a sexual organ, we reject this argument, which runs counter to both case law and common sense...'"

On a thread by Earth_First:

      I am so fuc*ing sick of the consumer being blamed for the recession!

response #2 by Kutjara:

      Of course the consumer is to blame.
After all, our entire economy is based on the principle of transforming precious, non-renewable natural resources into festive cocktail umbrellas. After the capitalists have gone to all the trouble of making the latest and greatest new and improved turnip-twaddler, it is the consumer's sworn duty to buy same, regardless of utility or need. Failure to do so is disloyalty tantamount to treason. Every piece of crap that is produced must be bought. It's the American way.

Honestly, this is so basic. Weren't you paying attention in primary school?

Ohmigod, I totally saw Barack and Hillary kissing after the SOTU.
At first, I saw Hillary looking at him, and he was like, not looking at her, and I was like, ohmigod--soooo rude!

And then she came up to me later, and was like "Why didn't he didn't shake my hand? I'm freaking sooooo bad!" and I was like--"Hillary, you deserve WAY better."

So then I went up to Barack and told her what she said, and he was like "Huh? I didn't even see her." And I was like, "you totally did."

And he was like, "Nu-uh." And I was like, "Yu-huh!"

And he was like "Just now? While I was shaking hands with Claire McCaskill?" And I was like "Ewwwww....you like her?"

But, later, they must have sorted it all out, because I was waiting outside for my dad to pick me up...and they were totally making out outside of the gym, right next to the soda machine.

For. Reals.

Honest--I saw the WHOLE THING!
