Welcome to the DUzy Awards, honoring munificent mockery, mordant mayhem, and mellifluous misanthropy from this week on DU. Congratulations to this week's winners!
The free-to-good-home DUzies will be announced every Friday, if I get around to it. Previous awards can be found in my journal.
Note to Mods: Skinner has authorized the DUzy Awards to be posted in GD.

Naw ...If he thanked * and company, (along with CIA, etc.) for all the funding, help, and cooperation he has had for his role as bogyman, then that might be the real OBL. He could also take a bow and joke about how he never got nominated for an Academy Award.
Ah, is he really still alive? ;)
This just in:
New, high-end software title is destined to be a smash hit! It will blow the competition away ... literally!
Thanks to the power of modern PC's, Virtual OBL, 3.0 is ready and willing to make your tyrannical aspirations a rock-solid affair! No muss, no fuss! It is easier than spin and doctor! Just type in your favorite agitprop and press go! In seconds you can display your tape to millions and even Darth Cheney won't be able to tell that it's just software magic from WMD Solutions, Inc.
GDP, July 14, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3377353 OP by Cyrano: I'm going to the shopping mall today and I'm terrified.I can't decide whether or not to wear body armor. The thought wouldn't even have occurred to me if presidential spokesman Tony Snow hadn't warned us about malls and Michael Chertoff hadn't told us about his gut feeling. Thank God for people like these who have devoted their lives to protecting us.
Anyhow, this body armor thing is a tough decision. On the one hand, I might die of heat stroke. On the other hand, lurking terrorists may be near the food court, or Sears mens dept.
What to do? What to do? I just can't understand how they followed us here. After all, we're still there. These evil doers hate us for our jeans and sneakers.
I wish I knew what to do. I'd call my congressman and ask, but it's Saturday and I get the feeling he won't be in his office. (It's kind of like what Woody Allen said: "Not only is there no God, try finding a plumber on the weekend.")
response #21 by
Cyrano:
I'm back. The mall was deserted.Everyone must have heeded the warning and I was the only one stupid enough to risk going.
Oh sure, there was a sign that said they didn't open until 10:30, but at least I wasn't stupid enough to fall for it. I'm sure that's a trick right out of the terrorist's play book -- the one intended to get everyone there at the same time.
Anyhow, I'm safe and sound and I have no intention of ever going back there again. From now on, I'll be knitting my own jockey shorts and carving my sneakers out of old tires.
GD, July 14, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1332743 OP by ck4829: If you followed the same doctrine as the Bush Administration, how long would you last?Here are some ways you can employ the Bush Agenda at home:
"I'm not 100% sure the family in the house across the street wants to rob me, but I better break in their house just in case!"
"What? I don't have to turn over the evidence! I claim executive privilege!"
"I don't deal drugs! I did an internal investigation of me and I found no evidence of wrongdoing!"
So, if you followed the ideas of the Bush Administration, how long do you think you would last before you thrown in prison, a padded room, or shot by someone in self-defense?

there is a perception that my car was going 115 miles per hourbut that's just not the case.
The kids from down the street graffitied my garage door so I set fire to the 7-11 because they had yellow cake mix.
Sure I haven't paid my rent for six years and my family is starving, but look I broke into a house on the next block, shot the owner, and painted the bathroom. Why don't you notice the good things I've accomplished?

2. Most of Europe would be the United German Republic.
3. The US would still be bogged down trying to defeat Bolivia for their hand in the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

response #2 by
Joey Liberal:
If DUHbya had been President in WW2If DUHbya had been President when Peal Harbor happened:
He would have cut taxes
He would have closed military bases
He would have cut military personnel
He would not have supported a military draft
He would have jailed all Japanese Americans AND Liberals
He would have urged everyone to go shopping
He would have invaded Norway
Great military leaders like Marshall, MacArthur, Patton, and Bradley would have been "retired" for disagreeing with Bush.
He would have contracted out our sea ports to the Germans.

GD, July 15, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1342473 OP by lwfern: For Senator Vitter's considerationI understand that Senator Vitter's staff is working on talking points for his return to the public eye. In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, I'd like to offer my assistance:
One of my biggest regrets is that I was never able to serve my country as a member of the military. I felt it was far too important to leave those job opportunities open for those who needed them most. I do, however, have boundless respect and admiration for those who have protected our way of life by serving in the trenches abroad. *pause for audience reaction* The path they've chosen to follow isn't easy; it's been filled with the grit and grime of the battlefield. When they return home, they will have lost a bit of their clean youthful innocence, but they will have gained wisdom and maturity in its place. These courageous young men and women are poised to become the true leaders of our future.
Our country is at war overseas, but we are also fighting a war on the home-front as well; a war against the sinful forces that are tearing the very fabric of our society apart. As any combat veteran will tell you, one of the first rules of warfare is to know your enemy. While I am in no way comparing myself to those brave troops who are now in Iraq *pause for audience reaction*, I can now say that I've had a taste of what their life is like, having taken it upon myself to jump into the trenches and soil myself with the ugly realities of a different kind of battle. I have emerged as a stronger more mature leader as a result. I don't believe it's necessary or helpful to delve into the ugly details of what happens in battle, suffice it to say that my experiences will live with me forever, just as the images of the devastation brought by the terrorists who attacked us on 911 will live with us forever. *serious moment of contemplation* I hope that when our soldiers return, all of us can put aside our differences and welcome them home. This is not a time for partisan politics.

Others view my behavior as infantile, and it needs changing. And soon. I really need to be changed ... er ... I need to change. I've been caught with my pants down, and they were soiled. And wet -- long time wet. Truly, I have a rash of mistakes, one that only Desitin can cure. I need to be weaned from my bad acts, pulled away from the teat of vice, although not all at once. Maybe I could start with a Playtex nurser. So be patient. I am just a simple baby with flaws, but I'm not a pampered politician. No pun intended. My lovely wife is here today, and has been supportive with her huggies ... hugs. I'm so lucky. My tippie cup runneth over. All that remains is for me to ask God for forgiveness, and perhaps I'll be reborn. Like a newborn baby. That needs love, and care, and ... and ... and .... Man, I hope I'm reborn. That would be so cool. Well, that's all for now. Time to take a powder."

I return to find the president on the phone to the First Lady who has not returned from her 9am tennis match with Hans, he informs me her car has broken down and she is being put up for the night by a nice farmer whom she asked for help. I put in the movie and before the credits finish ask to be dismissed due to a sore stomach, (never lie to the president) he wishes me a good night and relaxes back in his bedside recliner with a half gallon of Gentleman Jack, as I reach the door he says to me "I'm dooin the rawt thng in Urak donch ya thank? "You will go DOWN in history for it Mr President", I reply, never lie to the president.

This morning -- nearly three weeks into their current fund-raising raising drive -- Free Republic had only reached 36% of its overall goal. Pretty lame.
But then -- sometime within the last several hours -- that amount has suddenly shot up to 75% of the overall goal. In three weeks, the Freeps could only raise 36% of what they needed. But in one half of one
day, they raised an additional 40%...

Your candidate does hypocritical thingsAll while getting a $400 haircut, voting in favor of a bankruptcy IWR bill and threatening a 20,000 sq ft sea bass illuminated by non-florescent bulbs that have been left on too long.
Seriously. Every public figure does bad hypocritical things. If you're one of those tedious people who freaks out about -every- instance of hypocrisy and -all- cases of bad decisions, one who is always looking for purity and refusing to compromise a whit, I have this advice for you:
Take off the slave labor t-shirt you're wearing, pay 250% more for goods to protest our economy of global feudalism, empty your fridge out of compassion for the farm thresher gastropod genocide, give as many gallons of blood as you've used in gasoline and then starve yourself to death. You're wasting more energy sitting there at your computer in any given hour than a Kalahari Bushman uses in his entire life.
You're an asshole who obviously can't and shouldn't care about the suffering of others, because you're swathed in hypocrisy and your decadent lifestyle is keeping others down at this very moment. Jerk.

Investigators say that if any Executive restrictions or requirements are placed on the Veepicle it immediately switches into Arrogant Effulgence mode, but if one attempts to extract information from it, it reverts to Corpulent Veep mode and radiates hostility.

Although...
Scene: a doctor's office. Pres. Bush is face down on a table with his ass high in the air. Behind him, a pair of doctors patiently feed what resembles a stainless-steel roto-rooter into his ass whiile staring at a monitor screen. Josh Bolten is behind the doctors with a cattle prod.Doctor #1: Okay, Mr. President, passing the fifteen-foot mark. Looks good so far.
Bolten silently threatens the Doctor with the cattle prodDoctor #1: Ah! Um, yes, I looked up thousands of colons in my career, and I think this one is the cleanest, healthiest I've ever seen.
Bush: Why, thank you. I take the trouble to do my anal exercises every day. Heh!
Doctor #2: Anal exercises? You mean, to strenghen your glutimus maximus muscles?
Bush: No, not the asscheeks, the ass itself! Karl showed them to me. You should see his ass! Like iron!
Doctor #1: I'm not sure what you're referring to, Mr. President.
Bolten makes a slashing motion across his throat at the doctors.Bush: Well, every day Karl takes this rubber tube and sticks it up my hidey-hole back there and makes me flex my muscles around it. Great exercise for both of us, and I'm so strong back there now I can chop a log into firewood, if you know what I mean! Heh heh!
Doctor #2: So then you are Mr. Rove are having anal-
Electricity cracks, and Doctor #2 collapses in a heap on the floor. A scent of ozone fills the room.Bush: What was that?
Secret Service agents discretely drag the unconsious Doctor #2 out of the room by his ankles. Doctor #1 stares at the receeding body in horror. Bolten waves the cattle prod at Doctor #1 and mouths silently "Watch it".Doctor #1: Um, just looking around in here. Passing eighteen feet. Have you been eating a lot of corn recently?
An aide bursts into the roomAide: Mr. President! Terrorists just blew up a ship full of liquified natural gas underneath the Verrazano Narrows Bridge during rush hour! Thousands are believed dead!
Bush: Chavez strikes again! Doctor, get this thing out of my ass! Fast!
Doctor #1 hits a bright red button on the roto-rooter, and the drum immediately spins so rapidly it blurs. Bush's face suddenly contorts as he shows his "O" face. Three seconds later, the camera flies out and whips up againt the drum, and the machine bucks to a sudden stop.Bush: Thanks, Doc! It's off to the War Room! And somebody get me some fresh undies, for some reason I just made love-honey in my shorts! Heh! Heh! Heh!
Bush, Bolten, and the Secret Service agents run from the room. Doctor #1 looks at the nurse.Doctor #1: That's it, I'm moving to pediatrics.
Nurse: Fuck yeah, and I'm coming with you.
