It's all about momentum.
And man, did she ever crank up the mo!

It will be very interesting to see how she dials it back after voting is over.

Win or lose, she can't keep it up forever.

Given the level of competition these days, a repeat is hard to imagine.

A three-peat is humanly impossible.

Well Pam went AWOL and Anne became a C&P queen, but for the most part, many winners of the top DUmmy award get served a cold pizza the ensuing year.

I still can't quite compose myself !

I get a kick out of this statement.  All DUmmies live in affluent neighborhoods.  One day, go on the DUmp, google in their search box :

I live in an affluent neighborhood

You don't have to be a member to see the numerous DUmmies claiming to be well off.  Or acting like they are.

It's hilarious !

Do these people record every supposed conversation they have or something? I couldn't tell you verbatim like that of a conversation that I had 5 minutes before.

Or they just make it all up.

Oh, oh, oh...I have a real life capitalist bouncy that happened to me just tonight!!! It's perfect for this thread!

So, I went down to my little grocery store in Drain. Usually I like to go into the big city and shop and Winco and Costco because this store is too damned expensive. But I do love how politically incorrect they are. Every year at Christmas time the put this giant, beautifully tacky light up Nativity right smack dab outside the front of the store. Anyway, I just needed to get some meat for my dogs and some cranberry juice to mix with my lime vodka. Now, unfortunately there isn't going to be a cop in this story because you can see the city hall & sheriff's office from the parking lot of the grocery store and he must have been out driving around the county cuz his car wasn't there.

I got my stuff, chatted with Betty, the clerk who's probably been working there since the early 70's and started to leave. Well, I get outside and here's this little kid, couldn't be any older than 10. He's got a box full of mistletoe mixed with holly berries & tied with ribbon (my husband's at the casino playing poker & drinking...I'm saving this til he gets home) and these little cloth bags like you'd use to put treats in for a children's school CHRISTMAS party with some chocolates in them...he probably got the chocolates and the bags at the dollar store but he obviously took some time to put them together. On my way out he asks me if I want to buy some mistletoe or candy. He's selling each of them for a buck...kinda expensive but it's the American way! So, I ask him what are you selling them for? I figure it's some school something or other or some kind of church project, the kind adults walking out of a store are pretty much suckers for. No, the kid says, "I'm doing it for myself. I want some money." I bought 3 of each! Capitalistic greed is alive and well in small town America! Damn I love my life!

Plus, cranberry juice is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C! 

That is a great story, and I would have bought a bunch myself.

 :rotf: Good for you.
Little dude better be watching out so he doesn't end up with a fine for selling without a license.

Just finished reading Mark Steyn's After America, and there's a part in there about the little old church ladies who can't sell their homemade pies at the bazaar any more unless they get their kitchens inspected and approved by the local health commissar. :whatever:

It's a great book; but I fear he's preaching to the choir.  The people who need to read it never will.

Yes, he's forever telling stories about food and the poor.  It's his schtick. 

In this neck of the woods, the Amish got an exemption from those Health dept. inspection rules.  They fight like crazy, those Amish.  The ladies can now sell pies and bread on the side of the road.  I always buy, never been sick.  How in the world did our ancestors survive to have all of us, I'll never know. 

I'd like to ask those health dept. nazis, when they bitch up a storm about my handsoap being placed *just so,* "Where were you when people were shitting all over Zucotti Park?"

I bought a couple of those "reusable" bags.  About all I ever use them for are runs to BJ's since I really don't like trying to later dispose of cumbersome boxes, and to hold the emergency kit for my car (tool bag, jumper cables, rain slicker, couple of MRE's, hat, and gloves.)

I need those plastic grocery bags.  Cats pee and poop.  A LOT.

I don't know what I'd do without them, Sparky.  There's a town in CA that banned them.  What on earth do the pet owners do? 

What's annoying are the signs in the grocery stores:  "Did you remember your reusable bag?????"  Same as the little hotel signs:  "You don't really want us to waste the precious planet's resources to wash your towels, do you???????"

I use my reusable bags about half the time...need the plastic bags for the same reason you do. But I love my reusable bags. They have special pockets for wine bottles. Makes it nice cuz they don't rattle around. And another for newspapers and magazines. I hate it when my magazines get mushered. They're huge, thick (like oil cloth) and purty! I've got some that have chickens on them and others with flowers. They look kinda like this:

Oh they'll throw a fit, and use that stupid puking smiley all over the place.  The thing that's stupid about that smiley, is it starts off smiling a benign smile.  Then, its mouth fills up, blowing the cheeks out.  Then it spews, then it's back to a benign smile.  No design effort, no artistry, no expression.  I thought the DUmmies valued the artistic community.  Why use trash like this? 

I'm sure a lurker will look into that W sandwich.
