ROFL...DU's Obama Heroine Arianna Huffington is now hated. ROFL

Link to thread @ DU

It's not what Huffington says, it is replies that crack me up. Huffington was loved and cheered by DU Obama supporters for her support of the Obama campaign.

NOW...

they can't stand her ass.

A sampling

• Ariana repeating RW talking points. Not the first time this happens.
• Does Arianna have special insight? She's made her share of mistakes.
• Damn Arianna, you are supposed to be informed
• Her Bitter post more damaging than anything he's done yet.

Then they turn on the poor person who started the thread. Funny Huffington post wasn't crap until now. ROFL

• Why are you posting this crap?

Yes, I'm cracking up people, I'm Cracking the fuck up.

Don S. Davis: 1942-2008

With great sadness we must report that veteran actor Don S. Davis passed away on June 29, 2008. He was 65 years old.

Don co-starred on Stargate SG-1 for the show's first seven years, helping to launch the enduring science fiction franchise. Davis played Major General George Hammond, base commander and a father figure to many of the show's characters.

He is also well-known for his portrayal of Major Garland Briggs in Twin Peaks.

Off-screen, Don was beloved by the show's cast and crew. He departed the show in 2003 due to a medical condition that restricted his workload, but returned for several guest appearances on SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis in the following years. Don worked hard to improve his health, and continued to work both on screen and off until his death.

Woman sat dead in front of TV for 42 years

May 16 2008 By Donna Watson

THE remains of a woman have been found sitting in front of her TV - 42 years after she was reported missing.

Hedviga Golik, who was born in 1924, had apparently made herself a cup of tea before sitting in her favourite armchair in front of her black and white television.

Croatian police said she was last seen by neighbours in 1966, when she would have been 42 years old.

Her neighbours thought she had moved out of her flat in the capital, Zagreb.

But she was found by police and bailiffs who had broken in to help the authorities establish who owned the flat.

A police spokesman said: "So far, we have no idea how it is possible that someone officially reported missing so long ago was not found before in the same apartment she used to live in.

"When officers went there, they said it was like stepping into a place frozen in time.

"The cup she had been drinking tea from was still on a table next to the chair she had been sitting in and the house was full of things no one had seen for decades. Nothing had been disturbed for decades, even though there were more than a few cobwebs in there."

Neighbours were shocked by the discovery.

Jadranka Markic was nine when Hedviga "vanished".

She said: "I still remember her. She was a quiet woman who kept herself to herself but was polite. We all thought that she had just moved out and gone to live with relatives."

Sorry, I haven't been posting....I just haven't felt like it.

I'm VERY disappointed that Hillary Clinton sucked so bad. I really feel she is who we should be running in November. No, I'm not an Obama hater, I'll vote for the guy because we CANNOT elect McCain, CRAZY FUCK ASS McCAIN. However, I just don't buy the Obama hype.

I just don't.

But one of the real reasons I'm still pissed is how the DU Administrators and Moderators allowed all the Hillary Clinton supporters to be hunted and purged from DU.

Shame on them. Now, they have a board that reeks of nut-fucks, the posts about Tim Russert's death prove that they've allowed the board to descend into utter madness.

So I'm disillusioned. I'm unhappy and well if being a Liberal or Progressive means behaving like the loudmouth mean assholes at DU, I'm happy to hand in my Liberal or Progressive card and become an independent.

What I don't get is they are more willing to accept a Republican who says they support Obama than a lifetime Democrat who won't fall in line.

I'll have no part in it.

Youth killed by crashing helicopter...WOWIE!

Death spurs headphone debate

FIONA MORROW

May 15, 2008

VANCOUVER -- The death of a pedestrian in Cranbrook, B.C., on Tuesday has raised the question of how loud is too loud when it comes to listening to iPods and other personal music players.

Isaiah Otieno, a 23-year-old student, was killed when he was struck and dragged by a helicopter that crashed to the ground as he was walking to the mailbox.

Eyewitnesses reported that Mr. Otieno seemed completely unaware that he was in danger and a friend told reporters that he often listened to music through earbuds (in-ear headphones) with the hood of his sweatshirt pulled up over his head.

Concern over safe use of headphones is growing. Last year, Carl Kruger, a Democratic state senator from New York proposed a bill to ban the use of iPods and other electronic devices while crossing the street.

Republican uses gun as a back scratcher...ROFL you know the rest...

Man uses gun for backscratcher, shoots himself

A Fort Worth man trying to scratch an itch on his back used a revolver and accidentally shot himself.

Jorge Espinal, 44, was drinking beer and playing poker around 3 a.m. Sunday in his home in the 3500 block of Montague Street, when he got up from the table and walked into another room, said Fort Worth police Lt. Kenneth Dean.

“He told officers he had an itch on his back and grabbed the first thing he could get a hold of, which was a revolver,” Lt. Dean said. “The gun went off."

Mr. Espinal went back and told his buddies that he shot himself. “They didn’t believe him until they saw the blood coming down his back,” Lt. Dean said.

Mr. Espinal was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries.

Another reason WAL-MART Blows!

Wal-Mart Leaves Kids Out in the Cold

NFL superstar Andre Johnson and his charity got stiffed by Wal-Mart and it all involves water and ice. Yes, ice.

Here's how it went down -- Johnson ordered 750 bicycles to be given to underprivileged kids at an event sponsored by the Andre Johnson Non Profit Foundation. In return for the purchase, Wal-Mart agreed to donate water and ice for the May 3 event.

But there was a problem.

Johnson had ordered the bikes in various sizes for both older and younger kids. But the bikes didn't comes as ordered (more small than large), so Johnson only purchased 677 -- at full retail price, mind you.

Well, Wal-Mart didn't take too kindly to this, so on the day of the event (it was 84 degrees out) they wouldn't fork over the water or the ice. AJ's people were told that Wal-Mart would not be donating the ice because they hadn't purchased the 73 remaining bikes. That's cold!

Wal-Mart is trying to rectify the situation. They tell TMZ, "We are reaching out to the Andre Johnson Foundation as we speak to rectify the situation. It's disappointing that this happened."
