It's the Eighth Annual Rocktivity/DU LBN "You Call This "NEWS?" Awards! (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x220402)
Edited on Tue Jan-18-11 02:01 AM by rocktivity
What a long strange trip it’s been since November 4. We lost control of the House. We watched Obama’s moral authority sunset when the Bush tax cuts didn’t. And the memory of Martin Luther King’s assassination has been even further tarnished by the assassinations of the people who were with Gabby Giffords. To make a long story short, I’ve been in a bit of a blue funk.
But two other things have happened since then, too. Keith Olbermann said in a special comment: “We are not bound to an individual. We are bound to principles.†And my landlord of seven years issued rental applications with a letter explaining that Homeland Security and the IRS needed info like my bank account balance and car make and model though he was not trying “to intrude on your privacy.†They were the breath of fresh air I needed: I stood up for my principles and wrote “N/A†(not applicable, not available, not answering) to the questions I believed either violated my civil rights or had no relevance to a tenant-landlord relationship. To make a long story short, I’m back--and in fighting trim!
This year’s awards had a record number of candidates. I suppose that shouldn’t surprise me--it’s the age of corporate personhood, and national media outlets are corporations, too. But you’d think that with the “underground†media on the Internet ready to call them out at a second’s notice, they’d at least TRY to be a little more honest. Nonetheless, the parade of stories too dumb, obvious, or (worst of all) both to be news continues…but fortunately, so does the parade of smart, take no B.S. DUers!
Much more at link, but it's mostly worthless drivel. It is amusing to see a litany of this, however:

That's what I thought too. I've seen the DUzy awards there on occasion, which is nothing more than a circle jerk amongst the DUmmies.

WOW! This must be a new record for sock puppets, huh?

Oh, oh, oh! I have a nominee!!!!!
When dead Ted's son was asked if he was goin' to run for the soon to be retiring Joe Lieberman's seat in the senate, this was his reply"
“Maybe I’ll run for public office. I haven’t crossed that bridge yet,” Ted Jr. said.
Now if that ain't worthy of a DUmmie award, nuttin' is!

Oh man, I started feeling sorry for him at the Wednesday lunchtime kick. It's like being stood up for Prom.
BTW, I'm a landlady, and I have not received any notice from the IRS or DHS requiring my tenants' bank account info, or their cars' make & model. He just had to put a bouncy in there, didn't he?

That thread looks like stevenumbers' page on eHarmony!!

I think you mean OnlineBootyCall (http://www.onlinebootycall.com) or something in that vein. eHarmony has standards, and I can't imagine stevenumbers being capable of even lying his way past them.

I don't know what he's complainin' about! I'm sure he's A-okay with gropin' granny at the airport to keep from "racial profilin'"!

heh!
Incensed I stepped out and angrily stated "ahh so it was YOU calling every agency you could think of to get me in trouble. WHY?"
neighbor: well "I thought you needed to deal with "over regulation" to learn why regulation strangles business."
What's a matter DUmbass? When we use your own shit to teach ya a lesson, ya get all bent outa shape? Call the waaaaaaambulance!
My son is doin' maintenance right now for an apartment complex that has subsidized housing. Wanna know how many are in the arrears on their rent even though they pay less than a third what the rent is for anyone not on assistance?
Wanna know how "clean" these people are? They're ****in' pigs! They even throw shit on the ground with my son standin' right in front of 'em! They know all they have to do is complain the HUD and it will cost the owner more than it's worth to fight it!
And don't even ask what it takes to evict the low rent bastards!
You're a ****in' joke!
