Introduction: Why Watch the DUmmies in DUmmieland?
The History of Dummieland. DUmmieland, or Skins's island, or democraticunderground (any terms are acceptable) was established in December 2000, and went on the air the same day George Bush was inaugurated in January 2001, Alphonse Capote Gore having tried to steal Florida, and failed.
The Democrat Leadership Council (DLC), having ascertained that their presidential candidate had lost in November 2000 because of fringe elements, lunatic elements, extremist elements, in their own party shooting off their mouths, offending decent and civilized people, decided that while it was not wise to disavow such supporters of the Democrat party and Democrats, it might be okay to hide them away from view of the general public, so as to not offend.
Sort of like in the old days, stashing Retarded Johnny or Crazy Aunt Millie up in the attic.
At the same time, my fellow alum Skins (official name: "Skinner") was without a political job, and the DLC wished to keep him around and active. Skins had previously worked for the senior U.S. Senator from Delaware, the Levin brothers (U.S. Senator and U.S. Congressman) of Michigan, and U.S. Congressman David Bonoir from Michigan.
There wasn't room for my fellow alum on any other congressional staffs, and besides, Skins had started a web-design business along with Lord Marblehead (official name: "EarlG"), and was doing well with that, turning out some really good, top-notch, high-quality stuff.
Skins was persuaded to undertake this new political web-site as a part-time deal, a hobby.
Alas for my fellow alum, it turned out a bit too much, what with all the whining, griping, moaning, complaining, cursing, self-pitying, of the members. My fellow alum had hoped for some sort of high-class forum involved in Aristotlean dialogue, but the world got DUmmieland instead.
Of course, sensible political dialogue was never intended for Skins's island; the purpose of DUmmieland was to identify, attract, and sequester the weirds, the whacks, the extremes, the lunatics, in some small place far isolated from the real world, where the primitives could yell-and-scream and spew forth their Hate and intolerance in obscurity, invisible to decent and civilized people who might be offended.
Imagine the damage the DUmmies could do, to Democrats and liberals, if left alone to wander all over the internet; with Skins's island, the primitives are kept corralled in, controlled.
Important Events in DUmmieland. DUmmieland is most famous for three extraordinary events on the internet; the Scamdal, Fitzmas, and Pedro Picasso's faux pas, taking place in 2005, 2006, and 2007 respectively.
The Scamdal was when Doug's stupid ex-wife (official name: "EFerrari;" at the time known as "sfexpat2000") started an alleged fund-raiser to allegedly raise money for another DUmmie, the late red round one (official name: "AndyStephenson"), who allegedly needed an operation to allegedly save his life.
