As penance we should change the name of this country to "The
United States of Shit" for the remainder of the century. Discuss.

1. That's what draws people to Democrats; our positive agenda for progress
There's nothing like telling someone he's shit to get him or her on your side.

Or, to put it another way, I respectfully disagree with your suggestion.

4. How about
the United States of Needs Work

we'll gret it back. DUers are up on all the shenanigans but the broader public is just now learning the extent of their criminality.
Waxman is not through yet.

6. Better than shit, but confusing, are you talking about all the jobs
being offshored, or that it is a handyman's special? Maybe the "United States of Closed for Repairs?"

20. Didn't think of it that way
What I meant was more like - The US is a work in progress

As far as our economy and jobs - I don't see any politicians who even want to fix that. :scared:

16. Easy now, these ain't our proudest moments, for sure...but we're still
the best and brightest hope for the world, in my NOT HUMBLE opinion. Just gotta get Chimpy out, keep the R's out of the WH in '08, and work on restoring our greatness.

17. I have been reading a good deal of history lately. This shit
happens EVERY GOD DAMN TIME the Republicans get in control. When will people learn?

I am not at all sure that we are "the best and the brightest" but whatever glow we had has sure been diminished since 2000.

18. Agree with you that Republicans sully us every time they
get into the WH. We'll get our shine back (along with our moral purpose)--we're still the best damn country on earth.

21. if so, our name would attract farmers for our rich 'night soil'
lemons to lemonade, right?
this could be a boon -- or a boondoggle.

and what was that old saying? "you attract more flies with honey than with vinegar, but you attract the most flies with shit." we could be the Lord of the Flies! :D wait, that's bad... :evilfrown:
