Just for grins, I checked out my member status, which revealed my joining date of OCT 2007. Holy Shit! I’ve been part of this insanity for nearly four years!

Back in the day, Kevin used to be here with cat photos of Biscuit and whatnot.

But I’m oh so glad for Betty, Mrs Polly, Strange and all of the other main pagers here. Keep up the great work!!!

That last picture encompasses the look on the face of every so-called ‘progressive’ since Obama announced that Rick Warren was going to speak at the Inauguration.  Conservatives being in a constant state of anger I can deal with.  It’s what they are.  It’s the people who are supposed to have the POTUS’s back and yet are in a constant state of butthurt that pisses me off.  So enjoy this site while you can before the emo-progs, firebaggers and just plain assholes invade it.

Is that red block in the lower right corner your computer monitor?

So late? I figured they’d have been pissed way before Warren.

Yes. I kinda suck at drawing.

We’ve beat back a number of attempted invasions, but mostly, I think we’re too small to bother with.

@arguingwithsignposts

There have been so many instances of Obama ‘selling out’ that it’s hard for me to keep track of them all.  I’m going to get a t-shirt that says -

‘Barack Obama - disappointing ‘progressives’ since his conception’

It’s been tried. They tend not to survive very long.

I dunno Betty, that Cuban tree frog and trash can epic had some damned fine drawing in it; you’ve got skilz. 

OK, I signed up.  I’m about to make my inaugural submit without proving I’m not a spambot.

I sometimes think there is to much connectivity these days. Everyone is an idiot. But at least, before the internet, there were much fewer opportunities for us to become aware of just how idiotic we all are. That allowed us to keep a certain level of humane appreciation for each other. But, with everyone now connected to everyone else, you can’t avoid seeing just how stupid people can be.

Yeah, I’m avoiding Facebook until all the people I like and respect calm the fuck down.

@arguingwithsignposts - It’s like they’re looking so hard for something to be upset about or they don’t understand politics.

@Oblomova - I recently unfriended a previously sane college friend who started sending freakout status updates that gradually changed into racist rants of the “inadequate black man” variety. It was really disappointing and personally hurtful since some of the stuff he was saying could apply to me (a product of an African father and a white Bostonian mother). What’s sad is the lack of awareness on his part and that he’s insisting that I am the one who’s being racist (because I am supposedly supporting Obama because he’s black).

It’s been tried. They tend not to survive very long.

[Buuuurp!] Sorry. Yes, it’s true. And before you know it, there’s nothing but emopants and bones on the platter.

Also too, what Chris Andersen said.

@General stuck —I tried to fix your link. Let me know if I did it wrong.

(I did not, however, fix “reassembles,” since I figure there’s a meta-gag in there.)

Thanks strange,

It works fine now. Till my next comment, where I will destroy the internet, though not on purpose.

I think your sign up software hates me.  Apparently I signed up at some point, because the sign up screen tells me both my screen mane and e-mail are already taken. When I try to log in,I get a message that my account hasn’t been activated yet. Anybody know how to fix it?

@General stuck - I am tired of Krugman’s “Don’t blame me, I voted for Hillary” act. He’s as unhinged as any PUMA.

@Speedy — I’ll contact the Admin and see what’s up with that.

Speedy—You should receive an activation email shortly. You did sign up last year. With any luck, clicking the link in the email will let you get set up. If it doesn’t work, let us know and we’ll delete your original registration and you can start fom scratch.

Oh, and if it DOES work, chime up so we know! ;o)

It worked ! It worked ! Now I AM somebody!
Thanks YAFB.

It is kind of amusing, a baggy pants, chubby little toad fucker in his Ivory Tower, is calling the first black man to get elected president ‘a wimp’.

Butbutbut Nobel Prize Winner! Let’s see Obama do THAT!!!!11

...oh.

WELCOME, SPEEDY.

WHAT IS, ISN’T. WHAT WAS, WILL BE. WHAT WILL BE, WAS...BUT WILL BE AGAIN.

THAT PROBABLY DOESN’T MAKE A TON OF SENSE RIGHT NOW, BUT IT WILL BECOME PROGRESSIVELY MORE CLEAR TO YOU AS SOON AS THE MONTHLY WAGE-GARNISHING AGREEMENT YOU AUTHORIZED AT SIGN-IN TAKES EFFECT.

Oh, dear. Did someone let Strange at the drink again?

@Mike — At first, I thought a wacky robo-greeting to our new members would “personalize” the registration process and provide a funny memento of the event, sort of like those boob-flashing souvenir photos at Space Mountain.

That was before I realized how many folks were actually signing on. Now, it’s like coming up with novel death-traps for the next Saw movie, five at a time.

I’m happy about the response, and I plan to stick with this. But, yes, I suspect the messages are going to become weirder as time goes by.

“Garnishing Wages” is one of those phrases that sounds like just the opposite of what it means. That is, I usually think of a garnish as a useless but colorful addition to a main course. So a “garnished wage” might be a paycheck with a crayon attached or something. But no.

Ooh, you know what you could do, Strange? Pick random passages from a choose your own adventure book!
