Tonight, I raise a glass to many upon many, and to many more again.
I raise a glass to those who ran to the sound and the smoke and the screams and the blood on Boylston Street in Boston, to do what they could. I raise a glass to those who survived, and to those who did not. I raise a glass to those with a hole in their life now; I have wept for you and yours more times this year than I can say, and I hold you and yours close to my heart tonight.
I raise a glass to you who have gone to war, and have come home to feel the back of America's hand as you limp on your prosthetic or tremble in disorder. It has been wisely said that a nation that does not care for its veterans, for he and she who has borne the battle, and their orphan, and their widow, has no business making new veterans in new wars anywhere, ever. To you, I raise a glass.
I raise a glass to every man and woman who wants to work but cannot find employment or get assistance because a few people you will never meet have decided it is politically expedient to see you suffer. They will tell you this nation has no money, which is a filthy lie; we have money, lots and lots of money, which is sent to strange and greedy corners because what we lack is not money, but a proper set of priorities. I raise a glass to you, and wish you a better year than the one you have endured.
I raise a glass to the healers, the helpers, the activists arrested trying to defend the right to vote, the right not to be poisoned by a pipeline or a fracking field, the right not to be harassed by police, the right to smoke a joint and make cancer just a bit less of a burden. I raise a glass to you who Occupies, who dares, who risks, who stands for us all.
I raise a glass to each and every man and woman who has fought for, and achieved, the right to marry whoever the damn hell they please. I raise a glass to love in all of its forms, to the states that have abandoned apartheid and embraced civil rights in the matter of marriage and love. I raise a glass to all those who wait behind the invisible bars of the ongoing apartheid in too many other states, and I raise a glass to the not-too-distant-future, when those bars will come crashing down, when love can be love for everyone, at last.
I raise a glass to those who have died before the barrel of a gun, to those who have been maimed by a gun, to those who have lost someone to a gun, and to those who fight every day to try and stop the bloody avalanche of death by gun in America.
I raise a glass to Truthout, and to every other alternative media source that dares to barrel the genuine news into the body politic. The organization I work for does more good in a day than the New York Times does in a month, and my gratitude at being able to participate in that is fathomless and bottomless.
I raise a glass to you, America, to the good you still have within you and the greatness you can achieve, if you choose to.
I raise a glass to my wife, and to my daughter, and to my mother, and to my friends, without whom I would quite simply be lost.
I raise a glass, and hold you close, and wish for you the best of all possible New Years.
With all of my love,
William Rivers Pitt

Yep, "I raise a glass" "I raise a glass" "I raise a glass"
of course, really he is toasting his trust fund.
Over and over and over.

That's 12 glasses raised by my count.
I can see him roaring that out as he sits in a puddle of his own urine and vomit in an alleyway outside Bukowski's, while passersby speed up their their step a bit until they get past him.
-
It's not even 5:00 pm and he's already completely wasted. Something tells me that he's on the backend of a weekend bender.

Here's to you, Pit....May your liver explode within a year.

I count 19.

Yet Democrats have started the most wars and they are the ones taking benefits from vets and giving them to illegal immigrants.
-
His fake concern for troops and terror victims strikes me as particularly galling.
-
Wait, he added a glass:
I raise a glass to you, DU, individually and collectively, to my online home for twelve years and counting. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/emoticons/grouphug.gif)
20.
But he may not be through.
-
I sense a DUFU coming on.
-
I count 19.
You're right. I didn't count the ones where he stopped mid-paragraph and raised another one.
:couch:
Must be pretty well hammered by now.

I count 19.
Isn't that a normal breakfast for him?

The real paradox is if Pitt is walking back from Bukowskis at 2:30 am drinking from a flask of bourbon and a homeless man asks him for a sip, does Pitt give it to him or beat him up?

You forgot the possibility that the homeless man has a brick.

Over and over and over.
But first, Willie has to bring in some firewood.

And PittStain knows brick.

What a tediously pompous gasbag that fool is.

Here's what I raise to you, Pittstain.

The Pittboychild is either still drunk from the weekend or starting early for the coming one. Only a democrat could simultaneously toast the Boston bombing victims and the bomber enablers in one screed. He may make it through this Winter in the woods, next year he will be back in MassOfTwo$hits drinking bartender swill.
-
hehe this thread is killing me, everyone's got great replies... :-)

The unemployable Pitt is trying to be biblical.
It's his answer to the "begats".
-
The real paradox is if Pitt is walking back from Bukowskis at 2:30 am. . . .
But keep in mind, Wee Willie has abandoned Boston, he has fled Taxachusetts, in order to live closer to Mumsy in the lily-white, lower-tax woods of New Hamster. So no Bukowski's this year.
You know, sometimes on American Pickers they visit an old guy who has constructed his own little town out back of his house, sort of a Nostalgia Village. I wonder if William--once the Wunderkind of DUcheland, but now a middle-aged fat slob--I wonder if he will do that, i.e., build his own private Bukowski's out there in the woods. He can have cardboard cutouts of former habitués of that establishment, his old chums--Ty the Bouncer, Kevin Spacey--to make it feel like old times. And if he needs to pee or puke, he can just step outside and find a tree, no problem.

13. and a glass please for the women stranded with no clinic access
Forced to bear children because fake-religion zealots have taken control of many red state governments.
Why did you forget them? And the activists who have protected entrance to what clinics are left...and the people who donate to Planned Parenthood, the only place poor women and teens can go for reproductive healthcare and non-judgemental help.
And the activists fighting against the war on women. And the women who have not survived violence and the women who have survived violence and further violence at the hands of a society more concerned about frat boys' futures than protecting girls and giving perpetrators what they deserve. And those fighting against violence against women in spite of repuke representatives.
It's good to be inclusive, so please stop forgetting about half of the people.

16. Next year, you write the toast.
BlancheSplanchnik (9,023 posts)
17. I'm sorry.....did I offend?
You sound mad....did you remember what women have been fighting and I didnt see it?
WilliamPitt (55,982 posts)
19. Offended?
I'm not the one tearing up a perfectly civil thread.
I dashed this off in a few minutes. My apologies if every single category of people who struggled in 2013 was inadvertently not included. The toast would have been longer than Lent. Women fighting the War on Women should have been included, and I am justly and properly chastised.
Like I said, feel free to write your own.
Happy New Year.

Yes, it is. That is from his farewell party at Bukowski's in August, before he did his "white flight" up north.

He's almost unrecognizable from earlier photos. What a waste of a human existence.

Oh, this is definitely DUFUable! Tomorrow.

Watch it, Blanche. The Wee One will write a screed about you like he did for BoBo the Hobo before she disappeared from the DUmp.

Pitt stopped doing his dance pad:
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4120/4866182575_67fc1185af_z.jpg)
He claims to have stopped smoking:
(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h219/pjcomix/blog/pitt_smoking2.jpg)
He's looking at 40 in the rearview mirror:
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/proxy/KKIAZ7VWp_NeYWKw48kPAmB6LMAF2C-zE2plC5tdpBltW3v6twnktU-jP5T-uhQO6aLXKYKi-kjCfKg9naPMQQ=w426-h240-n)
And he's had a baby:
(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b362/WPitt/003-1_zps98d1e376.jpg)
Plus, all the beers over the years:
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7314/9551536362_0f48c77145_z.jpg)
It adds up.
-
Then he gets lambasted by a Margret Sanger wannabe for not mentioning abortion rights and the faux war on women......

A few minutes? Does anyone believe that his screed took him less than a week to come up with?
-
What a sanctimonious blowhard.
-
Kinda looks like Blanche is off her meds.....again.
-
An error in your logic:
"Again" would imply he had ever achieved sobriety in the first place.
-
And he's had a baby:
(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b362/WPitt/003-1_zps98d1e376.jpg)
Looks like he may still be carrying his baby, or a months supply of beer from his previous bar in the city.
-
What an idiot.
-
He's almost unrecognizable from earlier photos.
No, he's still a loser. :p
I feel sorry for that kid. She's going to grow up and realize her dad has been a flaming douchebag her entire life.
-
In an act of massively drunken wussification, he amends it to add:
I raise a glass to every woman everywhere who pushed back against trans-vaginal ultrasounds, against getting raped after getting raped, against the idea that women's bodies are not their own, but are some form of public entity into which the Bronze-Age morality of modern white men can be shoved by way of dark-of-night legislation written by cowards and fools.

23. you sound mad. sorry I mentioned a misstep.
Is it better to be silent for fear of offending? Because it's a holiday?
I don't think I'm speaking uncivily..at least I tried to be factual, correct the mistake and be courteous. I just think it was a large oversight.
You are certainly allowed to disagree and be pissed at me.
Cheers and Happy New Year!

20. See my edit
Six paragraphs down:

When one pokes, it behooves one to poke properly.
And it helps to have an aware poke-ee.
goddamm you have no idea how hard it is for me to restrain myself from making a poke-ee mon joke. Phew!
You would think that anything he added after the previous exchange would be taken as forced and contrived. Not so for DUmmies. They are all about the forced, the contrived, the PC-ness, the ultimately meaningless symbolism.

Unknown to pitt, on the other end of the bar to his right and unpictured, a woman named Edith stood transfixed and fascinated by what pitt was saying.
She stood as if mesmerized for some time, then as if the spell were broken, she hurried home to tell her husband about all she had learned, repeating it word for word:

How about Pitt tries to beat him up, but ends up collapsing in the gutter?

And if he needs to pee or puke, he can just step outside and find a tree, no problem.
Charles, he has never bothered before. Why start now?

You have a point, BD . . . H5 given. :thatsright:

I was just wonering if he could expand on the following:
I raise a glass to all those who wait behind the invisible bars of the ongoing apartheid in too many other states,
I would love to know what States he is talking about, maybe foreign States? And really that word is directly attached to South Africa. Which is no longer under Apartheid.
Once and idiot always an idiot. Drink another one douche nozzle.
