Thanks To YOU, DU, I Am The "Go To" Man For News At My Work
yup.

yours truly.

whenEVER there is a news story now (Iraq, Bush*, Press Conferences, LIHOP, 9/11, Hearings, CIA, FBI, NORAD, drip....drip....drip...) YOURS TRULY is the 'OFFICE GO TO GUY'!

see, in addition to Dadcom, I have been emailing info to coworkers. NEVER do i express my feelings in these emails, rather I just "report and they decide".

my results?????????

OFFICIALLY converted 4 so far. UNOFFICIALLY? dozens possibly.

don't go patting ME on the back! it is YOU DU who provide the collective facts that load my arsenal. YOU!

after last night's news conference, i had maybe a DOZEN coworkers ask my opinion. my standard answer? "Let me ask YOU if YOU enjoyed the "Dumbing Down Of The Presidency."

well THAT opened them ALL up to what a fucking IDIOT chimp was last night. quite a nice day all in all.

THANK YOU DU FOR BEING THE BEST NEWS SOURCE ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET!!

yes, while i might be a local mortgage company 'hero' of information, don't worry. i will NEVER forget the people who made my fame and fortune as 'the go-to guy' possible. :D

:loveya:

2. Congratulations, Matcom!
I have the same role at work -- I'm the news/politics girl (or I'm the Lefty Loony, depending on the source).

(Of course, my outspokeness now means my boss knows which buttons to push -- "I heard Howard Dean dropped out," he says every two weeks or so, just to bug me.)

4. I found out today that I'm famous in my city
Long story short .

We had the cable gut come over today to hook
up another cable modem. As you know my car
Has Bush Lies in huge white letters across
my front Black Bumper of my car .

Well the cable guy shows up and says this to me
when I open the door .

"you're the lady with bush lies on the front of your car
man I've always wanted to meet you , I knew you'd be a
passionate person . "

After picking my jaw off the floor I reached out and
shook his hand and showed him to the new computer .

He got to listen to Randi Rhodes for an Hour says
he's looking forward to hearing it in his car while
he's driving around . He left with a deception Dollar .
And a smile from ear to ear .

8. I'm with you on that
Thanks to DU, I am now the "goto" guy for my mom, wife, some of her coworkers, and my step-daughter. Interestingly enough no guys are asking me anything (though I suspect my dad is close).

10. Me Too - I'm a Fountain of Information
People are just flabberghasted at how much I know about events, politics, etc. and it's all because of this website.

Everyone now knows NOT to mess with me - I'll spew out facts faster than an encyclopedia and they can't keep up.

I have personally made at least three converts myself. It's amazing how dumb most people are on issues.

Last night at a neighborhood gathering, my neighbor defended Bush pre 9/11 and said "Well, WHOEVER heard of Al-Queda prior to 9/11?"

I certainly did!
