You know, I just love it when Republicans whine — it so brightens my day.
yeah, it’s usually so hard to hear the republicans whining over the sound of everyone else complaining about how bush stole their girlfriend, shot their dog, got them fired, kept the bcs intact, and crashed their car…
you know, I really loved that dog

Here I’ll help you.. You can miss spots on your back and erupt into troll goo.
*makes sure Cpt Wow didn’t miss anywhere*
The fudge is full of anti-troll…
Thank goodness! I had some earlier, quite delicious.
*hugs charro*
Thanks!

Hey! We better see some money for that! I won’t have history repeat itself!

I’ll send your cut as soon as I get it. *sulks*
Wow, it ate a whole wad of that post. Damn.
speaking of wads

where’s mine?
I have to refer you to Homeland security since they declared my wad an act of genetic warfare. Luckily, you hadn’t paid for anything.
I’ve got eyes in the back of my head DWN.

So that means you can… when you get… from… Hmmm…
I know what you’re thinking, but it’s not creepy AT ALL.
Actually, I am a tad put off by it…
2th!
If your having problems with your tooth, you may not want to eat the fudge…
Ahhh… Too late.
Twelvity fifth!
Due to this episode in our nations politics I have learned one thing
Bobby Rush is a total chode
Could someone translate for the foreign devil, please? Chode?
Chode or Choad is another term for the perineum, grundle or taint. It can also be used to indicate a male member that is wider than it is long. The more you know!
Wow – one lives and learns, one lives and learns. Thank you, Seth.
*Looks in pantry at can of champignon mushrooms, blinks hard*
Outstanding caption! I’m from Illinois and I completely agree with your take on the Dishonorable Roland Burris.
The news reports I’ve heard indicate that his record is impeccable. Please enlighten us.
I take no sides here, but there are emerging reports that Burris himself admitted awhile back that, contrary to recent statements, he did in fact discuss the appoinment with Blago during the time when Blago was trying to sell the seat. Since he has insisted that he is clear of the “taint” of Blago, his own past statements that have since come to light cast some doubt on that claim. This would suggest that he may have indeed been in the running to buy the seat…
Check out Olbermann from last night for details…
Olbermann!! EEEEEEKK!! He’s EVIL!!!
D@mn that Katie Couric and her Machiavellian questions!!!1!
Must be one of those high-falutin, upper-crust-types like that darn Caroline Kennedy…
I saw Olbermann last night. Evidently, Burris made mention of his availability in passing to someone who was connected with Blago. IIRC, he said something like “If you talk to him [Blago], let him know I’m interested.”
To me, that doesn’t rise to the level of “discussing the appointment,” and it wasn’t with Blago, himself, either.
Also, IIRC, his availability mention to the underling took place before
the time Blago was seeking the highest bidder. That has the ring of
truth to in, considering that Burris was retired. As a retiree, he
may not have had the requisite posse of financial backers lined up to
bankroll such an offer, assuming the worst.
*headdesk*
…ring of truth to “it,” not “in.”
*hugs Rho*
It’s ok. The first time I read that post, I thought you said “considering Burris was retarted.”…too much reading this morning…
More fudge, dear?
You’re the best, MG!!
*takes another square of fudgey noms*
“Retired” by the voters of Illinois. Still actively employed in the so-called private sector as a political rain-maker. Has a nice, big, comfy pension ($100,000+) and an employed wife (a doctor) so he’s far from broke. He was a good pencil-pusher in his low-profile elected office, but hasn’t the personality to move higher by standard means.
Any fudge left?
To clarify, unless I misread the Wiki article [LINK], Burris
wasn’t voted out of any office he held, but did lose three
campaigns (1995 for Chicago Mayor; 1998 and 2002 for
Illinois Governor).
Your point about his work as a political rain-maker is worthy
of much consideration, vis a vis his ability to raise funds.
However, Burris’s pension income and wife’s salary do not
meet Blago’s echelon of payola. (Side note: I tried to put the
word “alleged” after “Blago’s,” but busted out laughing.)
Cold, cold COLD.
*puts out neverending tray of MG’s “Happy Friday Fudge”*

This lol simply points out how completely silly this situation is. Only in America…

Is it “Special” Fudge?
But of course!!! It’s full of “Hot-damn-the-weekend-is-here” goodness!!!
w00t!
Oh! Totally and completely off-topic, but since we’re having a fudge party anyway, I thought I’d interject. How many people have Facebooks on here? I already have froo on my friendslist, and I was wondering if a group for us PK Irregulars would be a good idea. I was thinking of making one.
I’m going to have to do the Facebook thing at some point, aren’t I? Is that where HHNF lurks, or was that MySpace?
Idea sounds fine… other thoughts?
I already spend too much time online so I avoid Facebook and Myspace, I got conned into having a Bebo account but I hardly ever visit it.
Three demerits for summoning, but yes.
Just wanted to be sure… ‘Tis important, y’know…
*gives OMG a waterproof Stetson*
Can’t do anything about the demerits, but here’s a little
something to go with your monocle. Happy surfing!!
No way! Man, you guys are generous, there’s no doubting that.
*Slaps on Stetson, applies wax to bottom of Justin boots…*
Video or it didn’t happen…
That’s what I thought before I got one. My friends prodded me into getting one. It’s actually more fun than I thought it would be.
Fine – talked me into it… setting up one now
*old-fart grumbling playin’ with newfangled thingummies*
Yay! If you need any help, e-mail me, okay? I put my address down a bit farther.
Foundit, thankee… gawd, it takes forever… favourite music, favourite books – I live in a bloody library here!
Same. I just put down all the things that came to mind first. That reminds me, I need to add the Inkheart books on there.
I’m on there, and would join a PK group if you start one.
Yay! If you want to add me, I’m kat_corbet@yahoo.com or kat.corbet@gmail.com. I’m on the yahoo one right now, but I’m going to switch it either tonight or tomorrow to the gmail so I can access it from school. Just say something about being on PK, okay? Random people I’ve never talked to in my life add me sometimes. >.>
i’m a big fan of the random men who try to friend you who don’t even live in the same country. blech.
i’ve got el facebook-o. and would definitely be interested in a PKers group if you all would have me (i’m not really a regular).
and to OMG up a few – HHNF is on myspace. she’s probably on facebook too because she’s a total narcissist but we haven’t been subjected to that yet.
I have a myspace, not facebook, because at the time all my friends were in myspace. This is me (all totally true!!!!).
i have myspace too but am too lazy to update myspace and facebook, so i only do facebook. i check myspace daily but update it yearly (if that).
my myspace is linked…. but it’s locked. unlike HHNF i don’t want people looking at all my shit. which is also another reason i prefer facebook, you can’t see shit unless i say you can!
That’s three demerits for summoning, Dear.
She be faaast, I tell thee now…
but, but…. *whine* i didn’t mean to summon. i didn’t even spill the virgin blood that it takes to actually bring her back.
Have you been keeping up with the
“So I bet Jim…” LOL?
no…. why? did she appear? *goes to check other LOL*
OH NO!!!! i didn’t spill the virgin blood, promise! but seth defended her. isn’t that WAY lots of demerits?!
i didn’t even talk in the “so i bet jim” LOL… it wasn’t my fault! *swears on copy of moby dick ala gone with the wind*
You’ve convinced me. You’re off the hook.
Go forth and summon no more!
BTW, you bring up a good point about Seth.
“Summoning” punishment was discussed,
but there were snacks at the meeting, so
nobody was terribly interested in discussing
“Encouraging” demerits. Seth’s off the hook
this time…by snack default.
awwww jane! you’re really cute! for some reason i thought you were older though!
i posted a reply already and said i linked my myspace in my name, but it’s all locked down and stuffs…. but PK ate it because i swore. whoops!
O_O *is missing out*
Must resist urge to join…
do iiiiiiiit! joining the ranks is fun! *peer pressure*
Besides, you don’t have to be a member to check out people’s pages. You just can’t see all my pictures.
you have to be both a member and my friend to see anything. you get one creepy stalker-ish type person and all of a sudden that “must know last name or email address in order to see anything” option is looking really good. but if you ask real nice i’ll tell you how to get mine. lol.
By the time I get home and am able to join and see, I will have forgotten. I am safe from Myspace for at least another day.
@shortright: Well, I didn’t set mine to private because initially I didn’t have anything on there that gave out too personal information about me. I suppose if someone was dedicated enough they could connect the dots of what I’ve said to figure out one of the places I work, but I don’t really work there anymore so I don’t worry too much.
@DWN: You don’t have to join myspace to see my page but you would have to join and be friends with shortright to see hers. Make sense? Maybe?
@Jane: At work, thus Myspace is blocked so I would have to wait til I got home anyway.
i privated mine because i had a sorority sister who lived with me for several months until she threatened to sue us and call the cops on us (for holding her hostage when she voluntarily lived there without paying rent). after we kicked her out of the house, she and her friends made it a habit of writing things on my page and commenting on my photos and other really just obnoxious things. i removed them all as friends so they couldn’t comment but then they started just sending me messages and so i decided eff this, i’m locking the whole thing down. i’m not putting up with this sort of crap…
so far it’s worked ok. i only had one person who was all thrown off by it being locked down, but once he got over it we started dating. so whatever…
Ah I see. How smart of your employers to block certain websites to keep their employees from wasting time and not getting anything done.
@shortright: Man that sucks! I have a relatively small circle of friends anyway, so I didn’t have to worry about that! I think you can block individual people but sometimes you just have to block everything to get piece of mind.
@Jane: Oh yes, helps keep me in check and I don’t ever waste hours of my day here… ^_~
i’ve thought about unblocking because i’m pretty sure the sorority sister isn’t an issue anymore (it’s been a year now since kicking her out of the house)… buit seeing as how i don’t use myspace all that often i’m not too worried about it.
scary thing is, she *was* in my small circle of friends in college. after graduation she moved to my hometown and got a job b/c we were friends. then seh was batsh!t crazy.
I’ve got bebo (tho I’m never on it) and I get random tarty-looking lassies adding me because they’re “looking for a man” and my name doesn’t make it clear that I’m female…
LOL, that sucks AC. I am on Bebo as well as is Lynn… Small world.
*blushes* Thankies.
you’re welcome! i’m all about telling people they look good when they do. it doesn’t cost me anything and it could make their day.
I actually have both, too, but I don’t really use myspace anymore so it’s verv updated or anything. Never did use it much. I like facebook a lot better;.
I don’t know if it will work but I tried linking to my facebook profile.
Not sure what happened there but it should read “never updated.” I blame being sick.
it linked to you but it linked weird. like it brought up a search result rather than your page… click my name and you should see what it looked like.
also, if you’re sneaky and stuff you can get my name from this facebook page and use that to request me on myspace… tricky, tricky! lol.
Nope, yours is linking right…try mine now and see if it does the same thing now that we’re friended on facebook. Maybe that was it.
Scary cute even!
Awwww, PM, you’re a sweetie!
I already told you I’ve got a thing for schoolteachers!
Also, HHNF has been lurking on the lolcelebs site since we sort of ran her off.
i saw that. i was really tempted to be a bitch to her. but i figured if she wants to troll over there, it’s better than here… so i walked away inconspicuously.
Three demerits for summoning.
Damn it!
i commented about her being over on lolcelebs… but PK is currently withholding said comment because i swore.
second time in like 5 minutes i’ve done that. think it might be an indicator as to how this day is going?
Well, that’s okay. This way she can talk about how it’s okay for her to make fun of them because she is famous as well. If you don’t believe her you can totally look her up.
haha! i forgot, you didn’t see the pictures of her on the red carpet with angelina jolie? you can google search it! just type in “self righteous twat, angelina jolie, january 2009″. it’s the third result on the 14th page. honest!
Wouldn’t that just bring up pictures of Angelina Jolie, though?
that’s why you have to dig all the way to page 14… the first 13 pages are only angelina jolie. HHNF makes the appearance a ways in.
3 more demerits.
*grumble* i’m in negatives now. phooey. would it be more than 3 dmerits of i referenced her positively? because i’m sure some troll will come along and do that eventually and i want to be able to be all “mwa ha ha 345678909876543456789 demerits to you!”
I thought we were going to make a Seth Fan Page, too?
I beg to differ – ‘Only in a place where politics is practised…’
Point well taken.
I’ve said before, I’m an equal opportunity bigot…
Have some fudge, it’s equal opportuntiy tasty!!
Practiced, yes. Learned, no.

*ahem*

*grabs more fudge and runs to corner to feed*
Gotta love Illinois..
I will third this. Awesome Job Diss!
Thank you all! I will say that I know virtually nothing about Burris other than the events of the past ten days; but that my first response to the news that he’d accepted the appointment from Blago was “There’s no way in hell I’d accept that appointment; you’d always have the shadow of suspicion over you.” The first guy it was offered to turned it down. This picture was
from when he went to DC to insist on being seated….and “I am the new junior senator from Illinois…” is a direct quote from his press conference. It’s entirely possible that he’s not actually guilty of anything other than being too ambitious to see that taking the appointment from Blago (instead of waiting for his replacement to step in, which it looks like will happen soon) officially makes him look a little shady.
I’m not at my best today; I woke up feeling like ass and took a half day of sick time & now I’m working from home.
*hugs* Feel better, okay?
Seconded. Feel better babe.

it always sucks to be sick on a friday…

And it only gets better from here!!!!!
*nomnom*
MMmMmMmmMmM fudge
The sad thing is, I have NO IDEA if he bought the seat or not.
And since it’s kind of hard to prove a negative, the best that can be really said on it is, “It can’t be proven that he bought the seat.” No one will ever be able to conclusively prove that he didn’t offer some sort of favor or compensation for it, whether he did or not. I can’t imagine how anyone could expect to be effective under that sort of a cloud.
I don’t know anything at all about Roland Burris. He may be an honest, qualified politician with a lot to offer the country, but I don’t think we’ll ever get to find out, because his service is tainted before it even has a chance to begin.
Heck, you couldn’t get me to take that Senate seat if you paid *me* to do it…
Doesn’t ‘honest’ and ‘qualified’ when prefacing the word ‘politician’ constitute and oxy-moron. It’s like ‘humanitarian accountant’…

Fail. That’s not a widely used term. Anyone can just invent an oxymoronic phrase. If you are offended that rhorho put out ‘compassionate conservative’ and you feel like dissing liberals, why not ‘liberal establishment?’ (establishment used here in the sense of “the ruling class or authority group in a society; especially, an entrenched authority dedicated to preserving the status quo.”)
Thanks, Seth. That was “awfully nice” of you.

I proved what, now? I was helping you make fun of liberals more effectively, and that proves liberals are intolerant, how, exactly? Look, just because you are too stupid to make a decent joke, and I point that out, does not make me intolerant. Remember, ‘tolerance’ does not mean ‘approval.’ Get it? Even iff we brutallyt ridicule you, we still tolerate you.

ROFL- Deep South- I never thought about that one! Love IT!!!! (recently escaped 6 of the longest years of my live in Tx- I know many love it- I did NOT) this is HILARIOUS for me!
As a “born and reared true Texan,” I agree, with the exception
of Austin, of course. “Deep South” is my favorite, too!
Yes Austin is a small island in the center of sanity in the crazy pool- although STILL TOO HOT and TOO Humid for human life IMO.
Then why is it’s official motto “Keep Austin weird” if it’s a canter of sanity?
It IS a weird place!
I don’t know Burris either, but sufficeth to say if he’s a politician, I probably know enough!! From the interviews I’ve seen, he comes of as an honest and decent guy; but, you’ve gotta wonder why anyone would want to take that appointment from Blogo after the whole incident broke.
There’s nothing wrong with ambition. Besides, he has room on his mausoleum to add “United States Senator,” so, evidently he plans ahead, as well.
(Click my name if you haven’t heard about the mausoleum.)
Wow!! I’ve heard of planning for the future, but isn’t that a trifle overboard!?

I’m confused by the “If he’s a politician, he must be sleaze,” sentiment.
The thing is, someone has to run the country. Those someones are politicians. If I weren’t a politician, and I ran for office, I’d have to become a politician to do it because I’d be entering politics. So I see this, “Association with government mandates that I consider you unethical and dishonest, two things generally held to make one unfit to lead,” thing, and I think it’s self-defeating.
So, yeah, he seems like a decent person from what I’ve seen on television. I have never met him, haven’t reviewed his record of government service, haven’t heard any personal testimony as to his character. I don’t see a need to necessarily impugn his character just because he’s ‘a politician’. Someone has to be.
It’s a Catch-22, this tendency to disparage anyone associated with politics as inherently likely to be unethical regardless of evidence either way, and then lament the lack of ethical politicians.
If you think that politicians are inherently unlikely to be ethical people, and you classify someone in your opinion as ‘unethical’ simply because he’s a politician, and use the fact that you think *he* is unethical (for no more evidence than “He is a politician”) to add weight to the belief that all politicians are unethical, and then use that belief to determine in the absence of evidence that *another* politician is unethical, then you pretty much are guaranteed, no matter what quality of person offers to serve in that capacity, to be led by someone you refuse to respect or trust.
That’s kind of jacked up, really.
He never said he was above hypocrisy.
I always found the sentiment strange as well, it’s a self fulfilling prophecy. Now there’s illegal shit yes, there are corrupt politicians, we find them and remove them like tumors, that’s fair, but people get their panties in a wad over the weirdest shit. “my god, the governor said he’d visit the city today, but he won’t be here tomorrow!” “didn’t his plane get delayed?” “coincidence! I think not, he’s a liar”
“and then he said he quit smoking, but there’s a picture of him smoking in a back alley” “so he’s having trouble quitting and doesn’t want to make the insecurity public?” “no he’s a liar, man corrupt politicians everywhere!”
I loved one bit in Pratchett’s novel about the continent in Discworld that mirrors Australia: after the election, the Prime Minister is moved into the jail.
“Why do you do that?” asks Rincewind.
“Well, it saves time, don’t it?” is the sage response.
I wonder if the feedback will be positive, neutral or negative…
For both seller and buyer.
“I am very dissatisfied with the follow through on this. They tried to stop me at the door and all sorts of other shinnanegans. The seller seemed very fast with this transaction so I am uncertain of the legality of this sale. However, I do want the product, just am not pleased with how it has proceeded. In the future, I would prefer more disclosure about the product and any defects or issues there may be.”
… but it was wapped really well with lots of padding.
woops. wong word.

Retired from elected office by the voters of Illinois. Still actively employed in the “private” sector as a political rain-maker. Has a nice, big comfy pension ($100,000+) and an employed wife, so he’s far from broke. Burris was a good pencil-pusher in his low-profile state office, but hasn’t the personality or charisma to move higher by standard means.
Any fudge left?
Houston, we have a nesting problem!!!!
Will earnestly nestle for an honest nestle tollhouse cookie.
Fourthed! Way to go Diss! As an aside, mothergoose may I have more than one piece of fudge since I am home sick from school? *looks sick and pitiful*
Nesting fail, this belonged on the fudge thread. Stupid PK. :p
Nizzlefluting PK nesting!!!!
Ahhh for the love of sifnuta!!!!
did anyone else see the “daily show” episode where the show the BURRIS crypt? the dude is still alive and he has his resume carved into granite… just plain old nuts if you ask me…
Or nuts and epic. Then again, I am odd so I can be impressed by weird things.
I’m not really that bothered by it, but I live in the past. It wasn’t uncommon to have family tombs and such, and I figured the amount of work engraving and making such a crypt would require a lot of work so it’s better to have it done before it is needed than having people working on it after you’re meant to be in it.
…and sitting on the construction site in an oversized Igloo cooler, waiting for it to be completed. Probably with somebody’s lunch sharing your ice.
LOL, I will state for the record that I think you rock, dear lady Diss.
Thanks, DWN! *hugs*
Logging off for a while now as I still don’t feel great. My eyes hurt.
Rest well hun.
Ya, the guy is past seventy. If anything, he is being prudent about his burial planning and how he wants it.
but it’s not even a family crypt! it’s just for him and his wife (who is still among the living)…
Still better to plan it out now. Hell, if I had the money, I might make an edifice for the hell of it.
wouldn’t having a crypt for him and his wife make it a family crypt? That’s semantics, but still, it seems more prudent to me, it would be creepier if they were both young bucks, but they aren’t they’re older, they may develop some illness due to age, that happens. He has money now, why not deal the burial process for himself and his wife while he has the cash, and ability to do so.
How is it anymore creepy than any other burial practice? Because he is planning it? Because he is acknowledging his own mortality? Would it be creepy if a person picked out an urn they would like their ashes in before they die? I’m really wondering why this bugs people.
Wow! You live in the past? Me, too!! I’m in Cairo in 540. Look me up!!
