what do we need to do.....

[franksolich]

What do we need to do, to get the primitives all hot and excited and wet again?

Traffic on Skins's island is down, and it's affecting traffic here, too.

The primitives aren't putting out--despite that their only purpose in life is to provide amusement and light entertainment for decent and civilized people, their own political professionals not taking them seriously (and in some cases even laughing at the primitives alongside us).

Traffic down on Skins's island > a lower quality of primitive campfires > less traffic here.

Now, yes, yes, yes, of course decent and civilized people are still disheartened about the last elections, in which the primitives came out on top, and so it's not really fun to watch the primitives rejoice and orgasmitize over how they've been getting their way the past five years, the rest of us left out in the cold.

But humor can carry one through the troughs.

So, what can we do, to get the primitives flocking to Skins's island again, lighting campfires of better quality than they've been lately?

They appear to be in the midst of a civil war and I'd be willing to bet that there are a good number of folkes that are contributing to that.

Honestly, I don't mind it to much, I don't think I've ever seen Prosense so much on the outs.

[franksolich]

Well, I'm thinking of something big to cattle-prod the primitives into some animation, some life.

I'm thinking of something along the lines of Scamdy, or the big guy's campaign for public office; those sorts of things.

Right now, the primitives are making dead fish look hyperactive.

I agree.  It's not full blown yet, but the winds are whipping up.  One side is dancing madly backwards trying to NOT blame the Blamer in Chief while the other seems, honestly, fed up.

I like it.



I don't think we can add any traffic to Skins Kindergarten, but I am considering reactivating a loooong dormant (not sure it is even available to re-activate) account last used in late '04, to mole these drooling bastards.  I haven't had the time to put the proper effort into it, but this may be the time to seriously shake the cage.

Heh!  or a lot of them ran out of unemployment and lost their internet connections.

Now is the perfect time to introduce a "Obama can do no wrong" mole if one wishes to do so. The BOGers are dying for new recruits and you're guaranteed not to get TS'd.

For me, I'm enjoying watching the results of liberal policies. We've said for years that lib policies involve spying on private citizens and less freedom, and that's what we got. Now they hate the very thing they advocated to have. To watch the primitives try to blame it on Republicans/conservatives is hilarious.

A topic of ambivalence would do nicely. One where they all seem to agree initially, but then chinks in the armor appear causing controversy. Immigration perhaps ?

[Delmar]

We need some fresh African-American and female Republican candidates for public office.  That always works to bring out the irrational hate in the primitives.

For what it's worth, I'm not really interested in the health of the DU, anything that contributes to the disfunction of DU is OK by me.

I might think about this in the same way that I approach the Syrian deal. Help the weaker side just enough to keep the killing going.

[Big Dog]

I'm taking the "sniper" approach to the DUmp. I'm not running my mole, just laying chilly in the tall grass, and watching for targets of opportunity.

I am enjoying the discussion here, even if traffic is down. The recent infestation has been entertaining.

[GOBUCKS]

It's been done.
Check grahamcrackers.

[Splashdown]

They've tombstoned their most entertaining posters.

TominTib, er, whatever his new name is,  hasn't posted much in a while.

Omahasteve is between elections.

Stevenumbers still hasn't gotten laid.

And nadin's the only one who gets it. Nadin is carrying most of the DU load on her plump round shoulders.

[miskie]

I agree with the sentiment above - DU's activity is down because the primitives are confused by the current administration. Either they support Obama and in the process support everything they hated Bush for, or they do not support Obama by staying true to their principles and get tossed off the island.

The few remaining Hillbots are in the same boat.

Even here is Massachusetts, the Democrats are down and out.

If we look at tomorrow's senate race between Markey and Gomez  and use absentee ballots as a measure of voter enthusiasm, one can conclude there isn't any. There are 22% less requests than in the 2010 race between Brown and Coakley.

Brown/Coakley was, shockingly, a very competitive race, while Gomez/Markey looks more like a routine masshole democrat runaway.

We need a mole that can wine and bitch about life that effects the Democrats and their personal life style.

A grand ma that complains their child had an abortion, it went wrong and now she could never have grandchildren.  She most likely paid for the abortion not knowing it could go very bad.

People fired from their jobs for using the N-word.   

People that loose their homes and cars due to a child or grand child growing or making drugs on their property.

There is much to bitch about, neighbors moving in to the neighborhood and breaking into homes where the owners are anti gun, or most likely the neighbors are  felons that cannot own guns to protect themselves.

Much the moles can do to discombobulate the Liberals.  Put your thinking caps and make some outrageous bouncy,  the will never know the difference as their lives are so screwed up the bouncy seems total reasonable.

Although some tweaking over at the DUmp might be entertaining, I don't think it will have much effect.  The DUmp seems to have it's own natural ebb and flow driven by unseen forces.  I think diddling with the DUmp would be akin to trying to apply Kenyan economics to the mighty American capitalist engine.  You will get very dirty and just annoy the pig.

I'm inclined to agree.

The DUmp is currently unsure of how to behave - there is a growing awareness among some, though not all, of the DUmmies that the Great Zero isn't all that they expected, and that divide confuses them. Remember that they go to the DUmp to avoid anybody who thinks differently...dissension in the ranks of the DUmp scares them into silence. Over time a new equilibrium will be established, and they'll regain their role as providers of humour and amusement.

[obumazombie]

I've often wondered if our examination of the DUmp here has a deadening effect there.

I disagree, I for one, am greatly enjoying the bloodletting that is going on at the DUmp. Anything that we can do to assist them in opening their wrists is a good thing.

It seems to me that Cali and Nadin are leading the anti Obama forces and of course the usual suspects Prosense, TXforwhatever, Cali_Dem and graham4cocoapuffs (Heh I luvs that) are the establishment shills.

I don't see why we wouldn't stick an icepick in the back of their heads.

I think Frank can point to some rough statistics that show this.

I would imagine that to be very true. There's more inhibition to "showing you ass" when you know there's someone who's not sympathetic who's watching. It's another reason that it's so convenient for libs to not believe in God.

[txradioguy]

I think that an upcoming SCOTUS ruling and the defeat of the immigration bill will be the needed spark to set them off again.
