A very short rant from a semantics student:
Stop calling GWB stupid, criminally stupid, incredibly stupid, abominably idiotic (or whatever variation on stupid or idiotic). It implies that he's too stupid to take responsibility for his crimes, and that's an implication we need to stay away from. There are many more applicable insults to use for him that don't (even in a very small way) absolve his guilt.
In other news, the eleventh doctor was cast a while ago and I only found out now! Dammit!
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 6:53 PM
You have a very good point, Theo, but still.....he's pretty stupid............
Posted by: LameDuckHunting at January 5, 2009 6:57 PM
Sociopathic rat bastard. Bottom feeding amoral pimp for the religious right and corporate criminals. Cowardly chicken hawk. He may be a bit of a dim bulb but he is very responsible for the shit he hath wrought.

But really, just because you're stupid is no reason to be discriminated against in the personal responsibility department. Just ask JP Sartre.
Now, if you called him retarded, it may imply some defense for his actions. However, if you happened to be mentally impaired and committed a crime while Bush was governor of Texas, well, better be ready, buddy, to ride 'Ol Sparky to your reward, because, you ain't duckin' your responsibility, no how. And such as, also................

Wha? I've been in Jane's basement since Monday. Did I miss anything? I feel very strange. And I kept dreaming I was in a room with a view of bricks while I heard Jane's voice.
*whew--bad acid?*

and also, this is hilarious: http://www.236.com/news/2009/01/05/laura_bushs_memoir_the_sexiest_10966.php
someone in the comments there says Laura Bush's new book should be called 'It Takes A Village Idiot'.
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 7:14 PM
DP, welcome back! I hope you're feeling okay - I never caught what kind of procedure you were having.
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 7:16 PM
Thanks, Theo. My womb now has a view--of some other place.
Posted by: dontpanic23 at January 5, 2009 7:20 PM
Uh, oh. Thread killer. Sorry. There was no womb in the inn?
Posted by: dontpanic23 at January 5, 2009 7:26 PM
Nah, not a thread killer - things have been slow for most of the week. Should get up soon once JOE and Jane stop taking naked pictures or whatever they're doing.
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 7:28 PM
Slow? I fucking missed Elvis and a 500-post night! I nearly impaled myself on Pat Buchanan's voice.
Posted by: dontpanic23 at January 5, 2009 7:31 PM
DP - I hope you have a speedy recovery. Feel better........
Posted by: LameDuckHunting at January 5, 2009 7:32 PM
Is Jane dragging out the ass rocket game again?
Posted by: dontpanic23 at January 5, 2009 7:33 PM
Thanks, LDH. I may not be around long but wanted to pretend normal for a little while. Drugs and fatigue will put me out in a few.
Posted by: dontpanic23 at January 5, 2009 7:34 PM
Well, you can always try to enjoy the drugs......experiment with different combinations......
Posted by: LameDuckHunting at January 5, 2009 7:38 PM
DP: well, I said it was mostly slow. I actually missed Elvis too, for the most part.
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 7:39 PM
Iron and Percocet--there aren't too many combinations other than switching it to percocet and iron. But it's a nice idea.
Oh, Theo--the Elvis experience is so awesome. I wish he'd give us a heads up. I'da rescheduled my surgery for next week. But I'd rather you'd have been there because you are the official archivist and I got several months of him that I wish you could have gotten. Sorry if I'm not making sense. It's the Iron.
Posted by: dontpanic23 at January 5, 2009 7:44 PM
DP! Welcome back! You've been missed. So what did you name it now that Elvis (sort of/kinda/maybe/not really) returned?
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 7:49 PM
>>amoral pimp for the religious right.
I believe whore would be a better choice. The religious right were the pimp.
DP, your uterus has been in thoughts and prayers.
Theo, you be nice now! Jane isn't here to defend herself, with that being said I have naked Jane pictures.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 7:50 PM
We should have a vote, Kat. Nominate away. I gotta go sit over there. Will be back when I can. I miss you bunch of loonies.
Posted by: dontpanic23 at January 5, 2009 7:51 PM
Hey, it's the Minx!
Glad to hear that you're back, DP!
Not sure if the Elvis that appeared on Saturday was the REAL Elvis, he wouldn't submit x-rays, blood, retina scan or semen.
Posted by: Teh Minx at January 5, 2009 7:51 PM
Thanks to you too, THEJoe. And ask Jane about the rocket trick.
Posted by: dontpanic23 at January 5, 2009 7:53 PM
Keith's back. It's like having real news again! :)
Posted by: ceu at January 5, 2009 7:59 PM
Oh, it was Elvis, Minx.
DP, perhaps we could name it after another MIA GDAB commenter? Such as Jumpy Pants, Cousin Avi, LFOD, or Pecos Bill?
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 8:00 PM
The thread has become silent for the voice of Keith the lord almighty.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 8:00 PM
It is glorious having Keith back. Happiness!!
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 8:05 PM
help me out here, what is DP naming or what are we taking a vote on?
Also, how do you know that it was the real Elvis, the website connection went to a Wiki biography of Jimmy Hoffa...or was that how you knew?

Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 8:11 PM
You're not sure, Joe?
Posted by: ceu at January 5, 2009 8:16 PM
Theo - we can call him stupid. Ignorance of the law is no excuse... at least that's what the judge told me. On multiple occasions.
Posted by: Broadway Carl at January 5, 2009 8:18 PM
I am pretty sure. The war messed up my emotions. So when I think I am horny I am actually crying. You can tell that my love life is a little weird.

Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 8:27 PM
Did anyone watch Upside-down world today with Pat Buchanan comdemning Israel's airstrikes in Gaza? I thought I lost my mind!

Is Jane still in the kitchen trying to make Blue Cheese spread without cooking or cleaning?
Posted by: Alan4s at January 5, 2009 8:31 PM
Has anyone seen the little monsters in the "Ladders" commercial? They are freaking me out. Mushroom tea.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 8:41 PM
I think MSNBC should give Buchanan his own show, preferably at about noon.
Posted by: ceu at January 5, 2009 8:42 PM
I actually saw Vince (Shamwow) hawking another product. It's some kind of food chopper, and if you act now you'll also recieve this grinder at no extra charge.

Ohhh...Rachel has done lovely things to her hair. She's so stunning.....
(give me a moment to bask in her glorious Rachelness)
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 8:50 PM
hey Kat, do you think that we could convince Rachel to give up her girlfriend for us? I'm more than willing to share...
Posted by: Teh Minx at January 5, 2009 9:00 PM
Ya know, I may be biased because of the Blago "taint" (ewwwww), but I'm not really feeling Burris. There is something about him which doesn't sit well with me.
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:03 PM
I agree Kat - I get the same feeling. Especially when he starts with the "Lord" stuff...
sounds republicanny
Posted by: cminri at January 5, 2009 9:05 PM
Kat, CM, have you seen the post on Political Carnival about how Burris refers to himself in the third person, has already built his (tombstone) monument with the Illinois state seal and a list of his accomplishments, and named his kids Roland II and Rolanda?
If not I will dig up the link...but the third person thing nails the coffin for me.
Posted by: jane
at January 5, 2009 9:08 PM
I missed that one, Jane, but that pretty much seals it for me. Sounds like a nutjob. Now, why can't my gut be this smart when it comes to my love life?
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:13 PM
Yeah, if Burris is seated...well, it'll be terribly amusing. I do worry that the Republicans would use his nutsy-ness against us, although I don't think they could win his district. Either way, the tombstone monument was the thing that made me go 'wow.' Also his recent insistence that the Lord wants him to have this seat.
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 9:16 PM
Amen about the love life, Kat. Like I should have learned by now, but when I'm *ahem* gettin' it my judgment goes right out the window. Or so I remember.
Posted by: jane
at January 5, 2009 9:18 PM
Kat, the gut only works for political, religious, and financial decisions. Apparently, your girl parts are included in the gut, therefore it messes up your love life.
My tombstone with me a miniature Washington Monument, for its phalliciness.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 9:20 PM
"will be" not "with me" holy shit I am dumb tonight.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 9:21 PM
I hear ya, Jane. Although right now I'd be quite happy to lose my judgment. Good, bad, or otherwise....all out the damn window.
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:22 PM
Phalliciness should be the word of the year.
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 9:22 PM
*refraining from all snarky, not nice comments following Joe's recent comment*
Mmmmphhhh.....
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:23 PM
Hey Joe, are you hip to Glenn Greenwald? I think you would really appreciate him. Especially what he wrote about Israel/Gaza (scroll down to "more oddities" from Jan. 2.
Posted by: jane
at January 5, 2009 9:24 PM
JOE-- I wish that my gut was good in financial stuff... I am a typical left-brained artistic type. My only consolation is that I lost no money with the stock market crash, I had no money in it!
As for love, go with the heart, just like Tila Tequila!
Minx
Posted by: Teh Minx at January 5, 2009 9:24 PM
I knew I needed to drive to NC for some reason. I will arrive 5 minutes into Rachel's show because it makes Kat lose her judgment.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 9:24 PM
Hey Theo, I nominate "supply closet"= code for vagina for QOTW. See Saturday night thread.
Posted by: jane
at January 5, 2009 9:25 PM
Minx...really? First Bret Michaels and now Tila Tequila? We need to talk about your romantic role models.
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:26 PM
Why so hard on yourself about the judgement, Kat?
Usually, judgement is a good thing.
Posted by: Teh Minx at January 5, 2009 9:26 PM
FYI, Jane, I genuinely have a supply closet at work. And a vagina. Two separate entities. And I've had men in both....at the same time.
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:27 PM
Put it in the Quote Book Theo.
Jane, thanks I will check that out from now on.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 9:27 PM

Hey, just wanted to say I'm thinking about all of you down here. If I could fly higher than an eagle, you guys would be the wind beneath my wings. - Or the fuckers that sold the acid.

Posted by: Redmond
at January 5, 2009 9:28 PM
O.K. time to clear up the Bret Michaels thing, I was trying to be funny without putting in the "I'm being funny" symbols-- clearly that fell flat. As for Tila, yum! Even bought the book!

Kat, lol!!!
Won't that open the door to Narnia?
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 9:29 PM
Oy vey, Minx. I'll introduce you to my last 4 boyfriends. One is currently in jail, one is out on bail and one had to leave the state. I have HORRIBLE judgment when it comes to men. The brain in my head takes vacation.
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:29 PM
That's Redmond-code for he's kicking ass at MyFace Hold'Em and can't be bothered with us right now.
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:31 PM
Whhopp! Quote alert! LMAO on the nipple alert!
Thanks, Red for the best laugh I had all day!
Posted by: Teh Minx at January 5, 2009 9:31 PM
Well, if two people've nominated it...
Hey, what does everyone think of the GDAB quotes being published every monday? Or should I do it every other Monday, or once a month, or once a year? Vote!

at January 5, 2009 9:32 PM
I know you were being funny with both, Minx. I'm just teasing you. That kind of thing is hard to get across the tubes, I know.
But, really, Tila Tequila's book??
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:33 PM
Kat, it has nothing to do with your judgment. Stop dating your suppliers. I learned that one along time ago. I thought meth was legal in the south or was at Alaska?
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 9:33 PM
Theo, I love the weekly updates, if that is not too much work for you. You still have like Senior Year stuff to do and prom...
Minx
Posted by: Teh Minx at January 5, 2009 9:34 PM
Can't help it, Kat, I have a thing for her.
Since men aren't working out for you, have you considered...
Abstinence????
Women???
Posted by: Teh Minx at January 5, 2009 9:36 PM
Red isn't on My Face . He is actually working right now on putting stars on Amy's nipples. This man has the greatest job in the world.

at January 5, 2009 9:37 PM
Not legal here, Joe. They are still making it out the sticks in SE NC. Scary, wacky stuff. And if my boys were suppliers, they would be their own best customers.
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:37 PM
Minx: Eh, senior year can wait. THIS is what's really important.
Speaking, I do need to get some hmwk done.
GDAB QOTW will be up in just a few moments.
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 9:37 PM
So what does Red do on vacation? Clear brush, balance the checkbook?
Posted by: jane
at January 5, 2009 9:38 PM
eewww! That woman (and I use the term loosely) has the strangest nippular region that I have ever seen. And that digging for whatever, what does she have down there? Okay, just deleted my speculation on what Amy has "down there". It was just too disgusting--like her!
Posted by: Teh Minx at January 5, 2009 9:39 PM
Seriously, Joe? More Amy nipples? I don't think I could take that again. Isn't George Clooney frolicking on a beach somewhere?
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:39 PM
Hey P3! What's happening?
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:40 PM
I think Evan Bayh shared your hair dye, Jane.
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 9:41 PM
You explained 3 out of the last 4 boyfriends, Kat, what happened with number 4???
Posted by: Teh Minx at January 5, 2009 9:41 PM
I think there's something seriously wrong with Joe when he considers Amy Winehouse nipples the best part of my job. I still have nightmares, dammit!
And, Jane, to answer your question I fight forest fires with my shirt off.

Jane,
I am a statutory employee and a Financial Advisor, so while i have a psuedo-employer, I'm my own boss. It is my profession that frowns upon social networking sights. For obvious reasons, but also because people in our profession can get into trouble for giving "advice" publicly.
Having said that, past performance is no indication of future returns. Always check with your accountant when considering an investment that may or may not have tax implications.

PPP,
You don't have to "network socially" under any real name. (There is a FB member whose user name is "Facebook User.") As long as you don't use cuss words in your "name" (and apparently "hell" qualifies), you can be whoever you want. You don't have to dispense advice, or be connected to your real field of work.
As an aside, if you do decide to sign up, I would suggest you make a hotmail account (or other free email that you won't use) to register.

Damn fuckers, Halliburton! I can't help but think if it wasn't for them (and other money grabbers) we wouldn't have gotten into Iraq. Or is that an underinformed point of view?

War profiteering is the only reason we are there.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 10:26 PM
Minx: That is an absolutely accurate point of view.
although it's more: without war profiteering in general and halliburton in specific, we wouldn't have gotten into Iraq.
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 10:27 PM
GI: forgive my poor memory, but did you serve in Afghanistan? I ask because I've never really heard about KBR/Blackwater in Afghanistan; are they only in Iraq?
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 10:29 PM
dammit, PPP, I am trying to enjoy my painkillers! No snuggli, but doesn't it sound cozy and good??

Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 10:36 PM
Theo,
Not yet, but with the build up of 30,000 swinging dicks I am sure I will find myself there. Yes, blackwater and KBR are in Afghanistan. KBR was in Vietnam if that helps you with the history of war profiteering.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 10:37 PM
Don't go Kat. I am done thread killing. Watch.
Boobies..

Help!

FDR had a wondeful plan for war profiteers. If my memory serves me correctly, he hit them up for better than fifty percent.

Sheezus! KBR's been around longer than I thought. Although, if you told me they'd been around since WWII I wouldn't be shocked.
Hey, notice we're actually talking about politics on a PTT? Amazing.
Aw, Kat, why you leave us like this?
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 10:40 PM
Mitch McConnell always has a really weird look on his face, I'm kinda worried he may have a bowel obstruction.
Please, someone, make a joke.
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 10:41 PM
I gotta work tomorrow, kids, and I am a super-cranky bitch if I don't get at least 7 hours. Trust me, super-cranky bitch status is worse than what you normally experience.
Posted by: Kat at January 5, 2009 10:42 PM
McConnell is an honorable man who has the best intentions for this country. I really hope he legislates balancing the budget deficit during this rough patch. Blahhhhhh! Sorry, I vomited on myself again.

You get a yogurt lid, GI, which from far away resembles a medal. Very, very far away.
Also, did you know your facebook info says you're interested in men?
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 10:53 PM
Jane, Yes!!!
I literally screamed at my TV,"Oh, fuck off!" when I saw him on Rachel.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 10:53 PM

Wow, that was a surprise to me. I am in the military and don't want to be removed for something silly like sexual orientation. I want to get kicked out for doing something like slapping Petreaus. (Don't post this anywhere else)
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 10:57 PM
It has been updated Jane. You like men too!
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 10:59 PM
GI: It took me a while to mention it because I wasn't sure how to phrase the question. Orientation's easy to change, though I wish they'd have more options.
Posted by: theo at January 5, 2009 11:00 PM

No, Theo. I was just thinking I should put a disclaimer, that I wasn't referring to anything here tonight. But I've seen some things that I would be pissed about, if it were me.
But please use judgment about anything you might put on Flickr.
Thanks in advance.

I just had a great fucking idea(GFI from now on). I want to give Obama on of my pure bread chihuahua puppies. They should be here any day now. Someone please help me with this mission. It would be the greatest honor of my life for the Obama's to have one of my puppies. Does anyone know how to induce labor on a dog?
Serious about the puppy thing.
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 11:07 PM

That's why I lie about personal stuff. Always.

I wonder how long Bob reads these things before he gives the hell up?

Jane: Where are you going to get this?

Joe, they're prolly so inundated with puppy offers, I say good fucking luck with that.
His loss, though.

DVR'ed Ko & Rachel. Watching Rachel first cuz if the hair comment earlier. Burris just seems sleazy. Did I miss anything tonight?
Posted by: Broadway Carl at January 5, 2009 11:13 PM
Yes, but this would be a newborn puppy without all of my white people germs and racism. I am telling you it could work. How do you contact the P.E?
Posted by: GItheJOE at January 5, 2009 11:15 PM
About Blair House? Heard it before, but Rachel was on it. She wants to know WTF is so important that the Obamas can't get in. She says, "If you get invited to something there please send me a copy of the invite."
Roughly, Bushes 'graciously' offered Jan 15 or Hay-Adams or something.

Posted by: Broadway Carl at January 5, 2009 11:28 PM
Alan Colmes was pretty funny. I was shocked. I thought sitting next to Hannity for that long makes you legally retarded in the lower 48 states. OK, I will put Hawaii in their but Alaska is now and forever the TAINT of the US.
