[JeffR]

Graphic suggested by NanceGreggs, though the book ad was my idea.:)

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

1. Hey, Awesome Job. I Was Almost Hopin I Could Scroll Down! LOL

[The Doctor.]

Wondered how the hell he kept himself alive past the Rapture...
O8)

[JeffR]

35. Scary thing is I based on it real DU source code

Before doing a screen cap, I previewed it in Firefox and the links actually led to some of today's threads. It was very strange.

[elehhhhna]

40. me too!

[Seabiscuit]

77. I not only clicked on the threads, I clicked on Nancy's book - I really

wanted to BUY it, not just read it!

:spray:

[MiniMandaRuth]

2. Teehee... I like that.

Especially the 'Turned down 5 jobs offers' part. This is very clever.

[eleny]

3. K&R - I love those "Listen Live" links

Bucky, are you a donor? Why don't you start it? It's needed.

[babylonsister]

6. Holy shit! How'd you do that? LOL and I recommend highly!

Might I add something along the lines of 'marijuana working miracles for Alzheimer's patients, and it's easy to grow!'

You both :yourock: :yourock:

[Jackpine Radical]

OMG, that's wonderful.

Leave it to you & Nance to put together the bestest DU page ever.

:evilgrin:
rocknation

[babylonsister]

12. The more I look, the funnier it gets! Thanks for all the contributions

you both make here!

[Duer 157099]

14. That is so cool. Love it.

Randi on MSNBC, and Keith on CBS, lol too funny; Malloy on CNN!

This is the first optimistic view of the future I've seen in a looooong time, thanks for reminding me that it is possible.

[tandot]

15. You are AMAZING. Thanks, JeffR and NanceGreggs!

and no, Cheney should not get an early release!

I also like the usernames. JebzInJail really cracked me up.

:yourock:

[bleever]

29. I second that.

:yourock:

[nosferaustin]

16. beautiful

I can only hope...and I do.

Thanks for the lift!

[bleever]

17. Hannity Adjusting "Just Fine" to Gay Lifestyle.

Has no regrets about post on defunct Fox News Network; calls it a "youthful indiscretion".

[SpecialK]

102. LOL

Think I just ruined my keyboard by spitting up my coffee all over it!

[patricia92243]

18. This is great! Just what we all need right now. Love it. Thanks!!!!

I can't wait to get my donor rebate check. Very good job!

[Cooley Hurd]

20. .

:spray::rofl:

EXCELLENT job!!!!:thumbsup:K&R!!!!

[longship]

22. How come the hyperlinks don't work?

Damn! DU is down in 2016?

We need to call up "Future Skinner" and tell him to fix things.

[nam78_two]

23. Awesome

Nothing about global warming in there though ;)!

[JeffR]

33. Solved before Gore's first term ended

[Viva_La_Revolution]

24. Free Republic to close, Robinson indicted!

:rofl:


brilliant!

[nam78_two]

37. I didn't quite get that one

Who is Robinson?

[JeffR]

38. Rim Job, or Jim Robinson

Founder of Frei Republik

[nam78_two]

39. ahhh...ugh

Thanks! Great job btw :toast:!!!

[bleever]

27. Rove Responds to Firing: QVC and I have "different visions".

Infomercial format not well-suited to expired pork sales.

[Patsy Stone]

41. Parole Board Responds to Rove

"NO!"

[No Exit]

52. "Prison rape, while regrettable, is not a sufficient reason for

granting parole to its victim," said the Parole Board. Rove had complained through his attorney, Victoria Toensing, that he was repeatedly victimized.

"His complaints are not believable," said fellow inmate Dennis Hastert. "A month ago he was bragging to other prisoners about how much in demand his services were. I think he secretly wanted it." Matt Drudge, another fellow inmate, vigorously nodded his head in seeming agreement with this assessment of Rove's complaints.

[bleever]

119. Oh my.

:rofl:

[proud patriot]

30. That's a beautiful thing there

:D

[texasleo]

31. nice

[Rainscents]

32. Watch Live...

The Randi Rhodes Show MSNBC 7-9 ET
Keith Olberman CBS 6:30 ET
Bill Moyers Live FOX NEWS 3-6 ET

[sandyd921]

36. Absolutely fabulous dahlings!

:applause: :yourock: :loveya:

[doublethink]

43. Top of the Home Page this belongs.!

What a breath of fresh air all these links would be. Thanks for the calm ... it brought me. :) Peace.

[Sick_of_Rethuggery]

44. Of all the things you envisioned there,

the one that put the biggest smile on my face was the "President Gore". Nice job!

On an aside, I saw him this past weekend in Dallas and got his book signed, just to ask him:
"What would it take to convince you to run?" -- I did, he sighed a huge one and was just about
to reply, when the guard shoo-ed me away :-(

He was as awesome as everyone has been saying -- he was self-effacing, sharp, witty and gently
political too. The one statistic he cites that nags at me (since I had not known this before
I saw his movie a while ago and he repeated here) is the "960+ refereed publications, 0%
challenging global-warming-due-to-humans; 53% of media articles claimed there was no consensus
on the matter and that there was a scientific debate"!!

[JeffR]

47. Here's hoping he'll convince himself

We need him!

[karlrschneider]

45. Okay, I'm alerting you guys for violating

my keyboard!!!!

ROTFL!
:D

:yourock:

[ClayZ]

46. I want a time machine! K and R

:kick:

[JeffR]

48. * * A HUGE thank you to everyone for the recs and the comments * *

Nance is out with some of her friends tonight, and I was figuring I'd have to give this a couple of kicks just so she could find it easily when she gets home. Looks as if that won't be a problem.:7

[tandot]

56. I wish I could recommend it more than once. The more I look at it

the more I discover...

Malloy and James on CNN... :loveya:

Free Republic to close; Robinson indicted :evilgrin:

You both are f*cking GENIUSES!!!:toast: :toast: :toast:




:loveya:

[LuckyLib]

131. Outstanding! This is what DU is all about -- news every

day, a wealth of opinions, and amazing creative people. Needed that glimpse of the future! Thanks to you both!

[il_lilac]

49. first time I smiled today

thanks- I really needed that!:hug:

[madmusic]

50. Excellent work! Rec.

[bonito]

51. LOL!!!

[Mr_Spock]

53. That's really fun - good work

I really got a kick out of that.

[waiting for hope]

54. Thank you JeffR -

You just made my day. :applause:

[Straight Shooter]

55. "Should Cheney be given early release" .... made me laugh.

"Gore looks back on 8 triumphant years," almost made me cry.

This is by far the best DU page I have ever seen. Love that book ad!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[ecstatic]

58. Further down the page might mention Cheney's 3rd artificial heart implant

Otherwise there's no way he'll even be around then... No heart can sustain all that evil for long!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

57. President Gore!!!

Just between you and me, I knew bush and Condi wouldn't last once he lost his power. He walks like a man with a little, teeny, weeny sized feet. :D

[ecstatic]

59. I love it, and would love to see more of it! It inspires and gives hope nt

Great job!

[pinto]

60. Ha! Kudos. A beauty piece of work.

[Seen the light]

61. This has got to be the best thread ever n/t

[Cobalt Violet]

62. How much is my donor rebate check this year?

:hi:

[Dem2theMax]

63. A masterpiece!

Bravo!

Skinner and gang should print this out, frame it, and in 2016, see how much of it comes true. :)

I can hardly wait to read that book that Nance will be writing somewhere down the road. :) :) :)

[SaveOurDemocracy]

64. Love it!!

:rofl: :kick: :rofl: :kick: :rofl: :kick: :rofl:

[intheflow]

65. EXCELLENT post, JeffR!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

This is such a positive projection. I love your optimism--it warms my heart! Thank you!

[New Earth]

66. i'll be honest

this made me tear up :blush:

[Initech]

67. You're assuming Falwell will still be alive...

I hope that fat son of a bitch has his heart explode and he drowns in a tepid puddle of afterbirth. At which point all the people he's brainwashed and flat-out lied to begin to blink and realize they've been had, and they go burn down the headquarters of Trinity Broadcast Network.

[JeffR]

68. He'll be living in a cave near Tora Bora

Using Bin Laden's rusty old dialysis equipment.

[Gemini Cat]

69. Love it!

Thanks!!

[gully]

70. Wow.

This is awesome!

[johnaries]

71. I love it, I love it, I LOVE it!

Shouldn't that be "New Falwell TERRORIST video..."?

[lavenderdiva]

72. this is fabulous!

I love the 'too much disposable income' DU Group!! Fantastic job, JeffR and NanceGreggs!! :hi:

[lumberjack_jeff]

73. Brilliant!

[Roxy66]

74. LOVE IT!! n/t

[fooj]

75. We took our country back!

[FogerRox]

80. Landslide for CongressmanTom Wyka elected to 6th term

Couldnt help but to join the party:

[JeffR]

81. Long may he serve

Long may government remain of the people, by the people, and for the people.

[FogerRox]

82. Amen Brother Jeff. I better book mark this thread .. LOL

[NanceGreggs]

83. WTF????????

I go out for a few hours of girlie-gab, and come home to find THIS!!!

Don't be FOOLED, fellow DUers! This JeffR character came up with this genius thread on his own. I merely presented a what-if scenario, and he did the rest -- apparently an evil trick to keep me from hitting the top of the Greatest Page for the next twenty-four hours!





(And yeah, I admit it -- the first thread I tried to open was the one about the Condi-Bush split...)

[Rainscents]

84. Joke was on you!!!

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Crunchy Frog]

85. Can I place an advanced order for a copy of Nancy's book?

[passy]

86. What I would welcome the most would be the disappearance of the Election ..

Reform forum.
I will be very happy when fair elections are not something one has to fight for.

[tavalon]

88. Sweet!

This is so uplifting, so heart lifting, so ...... I don't have the words.

Thank you and Nance. And I hope that is actually Ms. Greggs third or fourth book, this appropriate best seller!

[Jeanette in FL]

89. This is a fantastic piece of work

What a wonderful way to start the day. So glad I was still able to recommend.

[malaise]

90. A Classic

Unbelievably real :D

Ko is at CBS and Randi at MSNBC. This is way cool :D

Add.

[soup]

91. Recommend #103 coming at ya!

Love it. Thank you.

on edit:

Hope you don't mind - screenshot of my new desktop:

[JeffR]

101. That is an honor

Thanks!:)

[BlueStorm]

117. How do you do a screenshot

and how did you get it to be so perfectally aligned in the center and yet have it clear?

Blue

[mcscajun]

141. Screenshot, hell! I saved the image from the OP

and made it my wallpaper, centered.
I don't know how soup did it.

[soup]

143. That's what I did, too.

Then took the screenshot of the desktop to share here.

Can't begin to tell you how much I'm loving it.

[soup]

142. I use FastStone Capture

Very cool - easy and FREE
http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm

I smile everytime I look at the desktop now.

[mcscajun]

127. Damn! That's a Great Idea!

Talk about "Keeping Hope Alive"!

[katinmn]

92. Very nice! LOL

:thumbsup:

[BlueEyedSon]

93. Fell off my chair laughing at Moyers on FOX!!!! k&r

[Gman]

94. Put a big smile on my face!

Good work!

[a la izquierda]

95. I LOVE IT! Let's keep our fingers crossed N/T

[Mad_Dem_X]

96. LOVE IT! Very clever!

Ahhh, dare to dream...!

[farmbo]

97. Two things Nance: 1) ROFL 2) You have far too much time on your hands

:rofl:

[rosesaylavee]

98. This is a great tool for visualizing

what it will be like. Can you do this for us once a month?

Just one change - I think we will always need an activist DU forum - help keep the "evil doers" on their toes in good times as well as bad!

[lildreamer316]

126. Eggsactly...

(misspelled on purpose)
See my post further down...we agree completely. If everyone on DU focuses on something like this, can you just imagine what we could do???

[CrispyQ]

99. JebzInJail

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


This is soooooooooo fantastic! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[OwnedByFerrets]

100. Just wanted to add my .02

FANTASTIC!!

[SpecialK]

103. Thanks for making my day! Kick...... n/t

[civildisoBDence]

104. Do it again, do it again!

General Discussion
Bush nears release date from Guantanamo

Satire as thick as a president's skull

[fortyfeetunder]

105. What a fantasy!

That was the best comic relief I've seen yet.
Where's Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert in all of this?

[MethuenProgressive]

106. Right down to the member names and latest news :O)

Great stuff, many thanks!

[I Have A Dream]

107. Gets my vote for GREATEST THREAD OF ALL TIME!

(Now, where's that button? ;)

:thumbsup:

(I'm bookmarking this so that I can come back to it again and again!)

[OXM]

108. My Vote: No

No early release for Cheney.

[volstork]

109. JeffR,

you have uncovered my deepest fantasy!

[HughBeaumont]

110. Now THAT'S . . . the greatest graphic ever!

Although, who would complain about "Too Much Disposeable Income"?

So how would RimJob be indicted? Would accountants unearth all of the "Freeper Drive" money funnelled into those cruises and his giant mortgage?

[Pithy Cherub]

111. Cyborg Support Group looks entertaining!

Hopefully, in 2016 we are careful! Loved the whole thing! :rofl:

This is now a DU Classic!:applause:

[Dragonbreathp9d]

112. Wow

Brilliant, I got chills, a god reminder that there is still hope

[ThoughtCriminal]

113. Same user interface in 2016?

Either we have reached perfection or in 2016 "retro" interfaces will be considered cool.

Meanwhile the FR domain is still for sale after the pedophile portal that had owned it since 2009 was shut down years ago.

[JeffR]

116. I was wondering when that anomaly would be pointed out!

Good one.

;)

[ThoughtCriminal]

121. In the future...

Everything will be "Retro".

[Ignacio Upton]

137. FR has been around for almost ten years

And their last major change to their inferface was in '99. Although we're not Freepers, so in 2016 DU will have an uber interface.

[OhioChick]

114. I Love it!! n/t

[NastyDiaper]

115. Too Much Disposable Income :)

love to join taht one

[Autonomy]

118. Best. Post. Ever.

[helderheid]

120. I'm making this my wallpaper on my computer!!

WOW!!!

:applause:

[ThoughtCriminal]

122. Iraq celebrates "10th" Anniversary of US withdrawal

I hate to nit-pick one of the most brilliant posts ever, but unless there was some really big news that I missed this week, they will not be celebrating the 10th in October of 2016.

[carolinayellowdog]

123. BEST DU POST EVER!

At least since 2002 when I first started reading. My God, every detail is perfect.

[lildreamer316]

124. Oh, you're killing me. How beautiful.

Maybe if I pin this up and visualize it...
HEY!!!

[lildreamer316]

125. IF YOU VISUALIZE IT, IT WILL BECOME REALITY.

EVERYONE should print this out and stick it somewhere they will see it every day.
(of course action too,that goes without saying!).
GREAT reminder to stay positive. I know I commented before,but this is a wonderful, wonderful tool to keep everyone on the right path of working toward the positive.
Thank you so much. You have given us a concrete vision of the future. Now it's our job to make it come true.

[mcscajun]

128. Vote 152 for this classic work.

Thread I tried to click on (even when I KNEW it wouldn't work): "Trouble at the ranch: Bush & Condi splitting? Ex Laura stays mum"

Best futuristic DU name: ThankUPrezGore
Best thread title: "AP: As 2nd Term Winds Down, Gore Looks Back on 8 Triumphant Years"
Link that gave me a lump in my throat: "Keith Olbermann CBS 6:30 ET"
Missing Thread: "Two Years After Bill Signing, Universal Healthcare Hailed as Success"

No, Cheney should NOT be given early release, and I'm going to sign over my donor rebate check to the Obama/Clark campaign.

And yes, as has already been pointed out, This is fuckin' FANTABULOUS work! It's witty, it's hopeful, it's well, well done, "Party's Over" is a book that begs to be written (hopefully), but yes, unless Retro is very IN in web design in ten years, DU will have made several interesting leaps in user interface by then. :)

Bravo!
:applause:

I'm happy to give this yet another vote.
Psst! It really does make beautiful PC wallpaper. :)

[Ignacio Upton]

129. DU won't be like that in 2016...

Its home page will have a more futuristic design that's all metalic with a light-blue tint. Also, there should be a Top 10 Conservative Idiots Edition featuring Pierce Bush and George P. Bush.

[mcscajun]

130. Hmmmm....I wonder when Skinner, EarlG and Elad will weigh in?

Surely they have a comment or two? :)

[rocktivity]

132. Good point--kick

:headbang:

[Terri S]

133. Have you started a waiting list for the book yet??

GREAT JOB!!!
