I don't know who had a bone to pick with me but YOU screwed the DU on a INTERNATIONAL breaking story

Hosts and jury members. This post does not name a DUer. It places no blame on hosts. Leave this OP alone. I just want the DU to know what somebody did, probably because of me.

As to who turned in the alert, I have no idea. I'm not a host. The hosts did their job as they see it. I have no quarrel with them.

But as to the reason a DUer would intentionally kill a INTERNATIONALNATIONAL breaking story I can't understand. Is it me? Are you anti-union? Work for Verizon in management?.

So we had the story and somebody just couldn't stand a breaking story. We beat EVERYBODY to it.

Apparently YOU don't consider the CWA a trustworthy source. Well I hope you learned a lesson today. It cost the DU, if you care.

Below you can see Fortune, UPI, and Salon picked up what the DU broke hours in advance.

Pat yourself on the back for getting to a dementia patient!

Here's another one.

Did you know John Kerry was in Vietnam?
Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Yup, that's the one. Did you know one day he walked into a bar and the bartender said, "Why the long face"?

Thank you. I'll be here till Thursday. Try the veal and don't forget to tip.

Now it all makes sense.

What? Oh, My bad, allow me to explain.

The wife and I went grocery shopping the other day. We're standing in line, and I'm checking out all the various publications near the checkout. They're flooded with stuff about prince right now. And the usual soap opera guides about who is ****ing who, and what floozie took the other floozies man, and so forth. And the usual cooking magazines, many with pictures of delicious looking desserts on the cover.

It was here that I came across the tabloids. You know the ones I mean. They have bold headlines like "Bill Clinton to resurrect Elvis through forbidden sexual ritual" and "CANDID PHOTOS: Tom Daschle caught in compromising position.  Sheep remains silent", and "Dying Clinton Humiliated as Hillary Caught Dirty Dancing With A woman":




Again, mostly about prince (is anyone else tired of that yet?) but one line toward the bottom of one tabloid jumped out at me. It read "The Shocking True Story How the Internet Was Actually Invented by A horse".

I'm pretty sure that within 24-48 business hours, this will be proven correct.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest he forgot to insert the / between international and national.
