When Bush and Cheney kick the bucket, I will bake cakes.

[Gravitycollapse]

And I will be happy knowing the world lost one of its more perverse enemies.

Respite in death applies only to the dead. The rest of us have to keep on living in the mess they leave behind. We should not canonize someone because they did what every biological organism does.

There is no spiritual forgiveness for us who are still alive. There is no undoing of all the damage someone commits when they stop breathing. I ponder Margaret Thatcher and see a bourgeoisie thug.

Redemption does not come in death. You must strive for it in life. I see no evidence that she made any attempts to do that. So she is dead now and I have just as much disdain for her as I did a few days ago when she was alive.

Good riddance.

[Warpy]

1. Proud to be the first rec

I'll be buying myself a split of champagne when Cheney goes. I don't drink because it's a migraine trigger, but some events should be celebrated with bubbly.

Shakespeare pointed out that the good men did died with them but their evil lived long after them. Thatcher was pure, fulminating evil and it will take the UK decades to undo some of the damage she did. Other damage will be permanent, especially to the poor children whose school milk she stopped.

I did not honor that woman in life and death certainly didn't deodorize her.

[cbrer]

2. I'll help you ice them

And pass them around.

Evil incarnate, dragging America further into a pit of monstrous devolution.

[TroglodyteScholar]

3. Agree.

I'm amazed at how many people here seem to think that being dead somehow exempts you from criticism over the colossal piece of shit you were when living.

[malaise]

4. I'm popping a cork

for both of them

[rhett o rick]

5. "Redemption does not come in death." Well said. nm

[Initech]

6. Bill Maher explained it perfectly when Jerry Falwell died:

[valerief]

37. That was hilarious and spot on!

[AtheistCrusader]

50. His scripted monologue is good, but I prefer Hitchens' take.

"If you gave Falwell an enema, you could have buried him in a match box."

[Worried senior]

7. I'll cheer plenty too

if I am still alive, would love to be but they are evil so probably will live a good long life.

[Chisox08]

8. I'll be baking cakes as well, followed by dancing in the streets.

[Mira]

9. I'll be dancing with you. I hope I live to see it

and I practice the dancing every day to stay in shape.

[Leslie Valley]

10. Might just as well because you know that the Freepers will be dancing in the streets

when Carter and Clinton pass.

Can't let them show us up like that.

Right?

[frylock]

12. because Clinton and Carter are just like Bush and Cheney..

right?

[Leslie Valley]

16. To the Freepers they are.

n/t

[Gravitycollapse]

17. Freepers are idiots. Why do you care what they think?

[Vinnie From Indy]

19. Yep!

Cheers!

[frylock]

18. to reiterate Gravitycollapse's question; why would i give a shit..

over the concerns of the fevered, syphilitic minds of freeper trolls? their view of reality is somewhat skewed.

[HangOnKids]

22. Gee why would Leslie post that?

Bringing the Freeps into the discussion is sort of weird. I am confused by that post.

[frylock]

23. i think if you look inside your heart that you'll find the answer to that question..

Leslie has been most active in calling out people for celebrating errrrrrrrrr.... commemorating the passing of Thatcher lo the past two days.

[HangOnKids]

27. Gosh Dang! How could I be so silly?

Shit! I hate it when that happens.

[Leslie Valley]

43. Show me one instance

Or you're a lying fool.

[frylock]

52. my bad. i confused you with another poster with "Valley" in their name..

weird.

[Leslie Valley]

59. No problem man

I sometimes don't remember who I am either.

Gettin' old can suck sometimes.

[hrmjustin]

31. Freepers are a stain on humanity. Why care what they think.

They are only a little higher than the morons at conservative cave that pay attention to everything we post and have to like babies have the dumpster room to make themselves feel better.

[City Lights]

47. Freepers are delusional and live in their own version of reality.

[Gravitycollapse]

14. Not showing anyone up. Just celebrating the death of assholes.

[hrmjustin]

26. Bush got people killed!

[Leslie Valley]

30. You're arguing with the wrong person

If you don't think the freepers, wingers et al don't have a white hot hatred for Carter, Clinton and Obama for that matter, you aren't paying attention.

Just saying be prepared for an orgasm of in the street vitriol if and when it occurs.

[hrmjustin]

32. They don't hate them as much.

[HangOnKids]

33. "an orgasm of in the street vitriol if and when it occurs."

What does this mean?

[AtheistCrusader]

61. The far right will go apeshit with celebration when some of those people kick it.

Like open, vicious, meanness on display for the whole world. Etc.

[HangOnKids]

62. Thanks

I had no idea.

[AtheistCrusader]

63. I think that sentence needed a comma in there somewhere. Took me a couple tries to parse it.

[Politicub]

40. I'll never know since I don't set foot in the freeper cesspool

Well - I admit I have visited a couple of times -- after each of President Obama's election wins.

And I can verify that their tears tasted delicious and their wails filled my ears like a symphony.

Then I took a shower and haven't been back since Nov.

[kairos12]

11. I will play Lionel Richie's Celebration

[RZM]

45. I think that was Kool and the Gang n/t

[kairos12]

53. I stand corrected, thanks

I think I was thinking of All Night Long--like a long Celebration.

[frylock]

13. like it's nineteen ninety-nine

[Greybnk48]

15. Give me a call, I'll help! n/t

[lobodons]

20. Going out on a limb here

I'm going out on a limb here, but I think the celebration and cake baking and cork popping will be quicker and louder when Bush and Cheney go to the other side. I know I have a bottle to uncork!!

[cliffordu]

21. I'll be buying rounds for the house.

[maindawg]

44. It will create a new holiday

for one day.

[idwiyo]

24. I'll help to decorate them!

[hrmjustin]

25. The bells in all the land will ring when they go!

[gulliver]

28. The GOP will be the ones baking cakes.

I won't be. The longer Bush and Cheney are around the better. I get a real kick seeing them not show up at GOP political events and fundraisers. I like being able to run against them and the Republican Party whose ideas they so well represented.

Every time Cheney gets on the air and snarls out some "Republican idea of gravitas" stupidity, a thousand Republican votes evaporate. Every time Bush paints a picture of his feet or the back of his own head, every time he gets a shoe thrown at him, every time someone brings up "My Pet Goat" or "I'm a War President" or "I'm the Decider" I get to smile. And the Republican Party that cheered and gushed over Bush and Cheney while they got us into a gigantic, catastrophic mess? They wince every time these two idiots' names come up.

No, I'm happy for Bush and Cheney to live long, long, long lives.

[MFM008]

29. and ill be eating it

[Cracklin Charlie]

34. I hate that I love this thread.

I wish, with all my heart, that I had absolutely NO reason to despise the men who put the whole world through that hell.

But I do.

[Cleita]

35. I will light fireworks, even if I get arrested.

It will be worth it.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

36. My father's solution

He used to say - they should be hung, drawn and quartered and their heads put on spikes. A little bit over the top but practical I suppose.

[Cleita]

38. That's a bit medieval but it should work. n/t

[hrmjustin]

41. I am againbst capital punishment but if I were for it that would be the way to go.

[Zoeisright]

39. The world is a better place since that bitch is gone.

She supported the Khmer Rouge, for Christ's sake!! Anyone who praises her either doesn't know a fucking shit about history or supports torture and murder.

[Unrepentant Fenian]

42. I'm having another Jameson's in honor of Thatcher's passing...

Reagan, Churchill and Thatcher, hell is sure filling up fast, but I trust they will always have room for Bush and Cheney!

[Martin Eden]

46. I will be very sad, because ...

... what I expressed at the end of my poem will not have come to pass, except for the very last part.
This is what I wanted to say to Bush when he left office:


I’d tell you to go fuck yourself
But that is much too kind
Because if you could perform that feat
You’d take pleasure in your behind

I’d like to say eat shit and die
But you deserve much more
You should suffer all the grief and pain
Of your misbegotten war

Though I can never make you feel
Or think, or understand
I’ll take solace when you hear your name
Cursed throughout the land

From inside a lonely prison cell
Dark and bare and cold
Where every day you pay for your crimes
Till you’re sick, heartbroken, and old

And when you finally leave the earth
You fucked over oh so well
If there is a God and afterlife
You’re going straight to hell.

[naaman fletcher]

48. Strangely,

Cheney doesn't really bother me like Bush does. Cheney reminds me of the evil guy from Time Bandits. It's who he is and is upfront about it. As much as I dislike him he doesn't really agitate me. It's Bush with his phoney nice guy stuff that makes my blood boil.

[Hotler]

49. BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO.....

I too will bake cakes and dance on graves. Bush & Cheney and the rest of the cabal need to hang by thr neck in the public square and be left there for the crows to pick apart.

[Bonobo]

51. And I will show up with a bag of multi-colored sprinkles

to adorn them.

I will be easy to spot --the guy in the red suit with a big white carnation and holding a bag of confetti.

[calimary]

54. It'll be champagne for me!

AND some fancy chocolate. Hopefully, I'll still be able to enjoy the tastes when that whiff of sulfur wafts through the air.

[ancianita]

55. Well said. Thanks. nt

[lpbk2713]

56. I'll stock up on ExLax

... and then find out where they are to be buried.

[Apophis]

57. I will build an effigy in their likeness in dog shit and piss on it.

Then I'll burn it.

[backscatter712]

58. I can barely cook toast, but I'll bring beer! n/t

[Gravitycollapse]

60. I like IPAs.
