Apologies everyone, no Top 10 this week

[EarlG]

As I mentioned last week, I didn't know if I would have enough time to get the Top 10 together this week. My fears proved correct. Sorry about that - but I'll definitely have one for you next week.

1. Thanks for staying up late and trying. You still rock, Earl

Plus who the idiots are this week is kinda obvious: Mel Condi Mel Condi Dubya Mel Mel.

Wow, that's even got a nice beat to it.

[cornermouse]

2. ...

:cry:

Monday is off to a lousy start.

[Suich]

3. Thanks for the update...now I can go to bed!

Hope things are ok...

[EarlG]

4. Things are fine, thanks for asking

I just had a busy weekend and wasn't able to get everything together in time.

[greyl]

5. Disappointed, but no sweat. :)

Haven't forgotten the extras from the past.

[CC]

6. Aren't you a newlywed?

There are some things that should be more important than us greedy DU'ers that miss the top ten. BTW that same top ten has helped change the minds of many non-political or even repukes than I can count. One week may only feel like it is going to kill us but with all that is happening, well it really won't.

7. Can't have cake and ice-cream every week, I guess.

At least I can now stop hitting the 'refresh' button on my internet browser.

[msu2ba]

8. Me, too! n/t

[Lasher]

9. Boo hoo, I'm in withdrawal!

Thanks for doing the Top 10 when you can, EarlG. I very much appreciate it.

[A HERETIC I AM]

10. I HATE YOU TO PIECES!

How am i supposed to enjoy my Monday, now? Huh? Dammit!! You have all the internets.....you MUST have plenty of tubes in your garage but NOOOOOOO.....you have to deprive me of my Monday (It IS all about me, BTW) morning yuk yuk.

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your favorite pair of socks.

[Vidar]

11. Thanks anyway.

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. AAGGHHH!!! You've ruined my week!

:)

Thanks for the great column. I'm more than happy to take it when I can get it.

Cheers!

[graywarrior]

13. We can only imagine who those idiots are.

Rock on.

[kevinmc]

14. My FAVORITE DU Column.....

that's OK everyone needs a break. I do look forward to Mondays so I can read it though.

[underpants]

16. ##### SUPPORT DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND #####

[geiger]

15. Your apologies are not needed; we appreciate every gem you write

[peace13]

17. Thanks for all that you do.

I'm sure that the break is needed. Peace, Kim

[4_TN_TITANS]

18. s'alright.....

but don't give up on it completely! The top ten is what drew me and many others to DU...

:hi: :thumbsup:

[asthmaticeog]

19. I have an idea that could free up some time for you.

Use members of the DU Activist Corps for all those piddlyshit little errands that, cumulatively, can eat up entire days. They could run to pick up groceries, do the laundry, take the car to get gassed-up and washed, yell "get off my yard" at the neighbors' kids, bathe you, feed you grapes, fan you with palm fronds, hose down the wet t-shirt contest entrants, etc., etc., etc. Which would leave you more than enough time to give us our Top 10 fix.

Yeah, it'd be shitty, but power's a lot more fun when it's abused. I'm jus' sayin'. :shrug:

Edit: sp

[wryter2000]

20. That's okay

I'm cool without <twitch> the Conservative Idiots. Honest. <scratch,twitch> I mean...I only read them to relax. <twitch, twitch> I'm cool. Honest.

:hide:

[Nye Bevan]

21. Oh no! I've been looking forward all weekend to your take on Mel Gibson!

[jslithy]

31. Isn't it a stretch to call Mel Gibson a "conservative"?

I mean, his attacks on Bush would seem out of character.

22. So much stupidity, so little time

Look forward to next week!

[aggiesal]

23. Start a DU tradition

Whenever EarlG can't make a Top 10, we should take it upon ourselves to create one.

I can't add that EarlG humor, but here we go.

I nominate as #1, the Bush Administration
For the AP story: Bush New Bill-Permits Gov To Throw US Citizens In Jail Forever W/O Trial
Of course why pay attention to what the Supreme Court says. Finding the military tribunal
unconstitutional, shouldn't hold this administration back. Besides it was only unconstitutional
because the WH didn't inform Congress.
So what does the WH do? They try to have Congress submit and pass a bill to continue their
unconstitutional military tribunals. As long as Congress approves, it's no longer unconstitutional.

24. understand

I'm sure everyone here understands that it's got to be hard work selecting from so much imbecility, and that you need a week off every now and again to clear out the accumulated ordure and start fresh.I'd think it'd be kind of like cleaning a hog barn there's just so much sh*t one would never know just where to start and there's seemingly no end as long as the hogs are still there. Get some rest, have a good microbrew or two, clean out your mind and we'll see you when you get back. In the meantime thanks.

[sangfroid]

25. Hey, no prob, I completely understand...

although the lovely Ms. Sangfroid had to wrestle the gun out of my hand this morning... :-)

[krispos42]

26. We understand

We're going through massive withdrawal, but that's okay. I'll just play more Ms. Pack-Man this week. You know that little device you can get for $20 from Target and play old Atari games on? Addictive as hell and cheaper than heroin. Damn! How is it a game almost as old as me can STILL be so captivating!?!?!??!!?!?

Other addicts can try News of the Weird. There's always a few idiot politicians and government agencies in it.

27. You have given me/us so much, please don't fret

I am so grateful, more than I can express, for you that I want you to feel OK with whatever constraints are on your time, your energy. I am crazy about you.

[MarinCoUSA]

28. Hey! Last Friday's press conf was enoug idiot! Give it a rest!

the top 10 rocks! Go EarlG!

[WoodyD]

29. Damn . . . and thanks!

You're my regular Monday lunch date. As with so many other DUers, it was the top ten that drew me here and brings me back. Aggiesal's idea is great Whenever EarlG can't make a Top 10, we should take it upon ourselves to create one.. We could all submit our entries from the many, many candidates available each week.

Earl G., I'm so sorry that you seem to have a life. But thank you for being one reason to look forward to Mondays.

[benny05]

32. Welcome to the DU, WoodyD

:hi:

[aggiesal]

34. Thank you for the complement on the "Great Idea". n/t

[ktowntennesseedem]

30. Had me worried for a minute!

I first thought there was no list because no one did anything stupid this week, and I knew THAT couldn't be right!

I'm sure we can stand to wait another week!

[d---mad2]

33. too bad no top 10

This is my favorite thread-keep up the fine work EarlG
