So I hear there's been some whining in here

I'm disgusted.

Just because the Supreme Court set a poison precedent and appointed Bush, who brought in his crowd of neocon yahoos that no one discussed during the 2000 campaign because we 'Muricans vote for the man and not the mob of frothing dogs that come in his wake, just because the twin bill of unreasonably massive tax cuts were combined with economic depth-charge that was the Enron/Arthur Andersen scandal that was umbilically connected to the White House, just because the economy (not to mention our whole psyche) absorbed another blow when four commercial airplanes somehow managed to pierce the most impenetrable air defense system in the history of the universe, fooling the entire intelligence community as well if you believe what you hear on Fox, despite a blizzard of warnings and a raft of information from the previous administration, just because a bunch of anthrax got mailed to Democrats by the Ashcroft wing of the Republican Party in what were obvious assassination attempts and yet nothing but nothing has been done about it, just because the 9/11 attack was immediately and I mean the day after immediately grasped as an excuse to invade Iraq, just because virtually everyone in the administration lied with their bare faces hanging out about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, terrorism ties in Iraq, so break out the plastic sheeting and duct tape because we're all gonna die, just because they did this in no small part to win the 2002 midterms by any means necessary, just because 1,502 American soldiers have been killed looking for the 26,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 500 tons (which is 1,000,00 lbs.) of sarin and mustard and VX nerve agent, 30,000 munitions to deliver the stuff, mobile biological weapons labs, arial drones to spray the aforementioned stuff, and let's not forget the uranium from Niger for use in Iraq's robust nukular program, all of which was described to the letter by Bush in his 2003 State of the Union address, all of which remains on the White House website on a page titled 'Disarm Saddam Hussein,' just because the medical journal Lancet estimates that as many as 198,000 Iraqi citizens have been killed as well in the war to get at this stuff, just because none of the stuff was there, and by the way nonee of the stuff was there, and did I mention that none of the stuff was there, just because the idea that Hussein was allied with bin Laden was laughable because Osama has wanted Saddam's head on his battle standard for decades, just because the true source of world terrorism, which is Wahabbist extremism in Saudi Arabia, goes completely unaddressed because the Houses of Bush and Saud have been partnered for decades, just because so much of 9/11 and this 'War on Terra' has to do with business arrangements going awry between these two Houses, just because a deep-cover CIA agent who was working to track any person or nation or group that would give weapons of mass destruction to terrorists got her cover and her network blown by Administration officials who wanted to shut her husband and any other potential whistleblowers the hell up, just because the front company she was working out of called Brewster Jennings and Associates was likewise blown, thus torpedoing other agents and their networks, just because absolutely all of this went virtually unreported by the mainstream media until it was too late, if it was reported at all, just because dangerous spies like Ahmad Chalabi used Judy Miller and the New York Times to disseminate the lie that Iraq was riddled with weapons, thus opening the floodgates for the rest of the media to repeat the lie because once the Times says it, it must be true, just because this lack of reporting combined with an astounding level of cheerleading from the aforementioned media combined with some good old-fashioned vote fraud in places like Ohio, Florida and New Mexico gave the aforementioned group of yahoos four more years and a congressional majority in both houses of congress, just because this means the Iraq war will continue and Iran will probably be next and draconian legislation further restricting our rights will get passed along with things like the Bankruptcy bill and media reform of any kind will be nowhere on the menu, just because a lot of the Justices on the Supreme Court are sure to step down or die soon and Bush will be able to recraft that high court for the next 20 years, just because the Christian Reconstructionists are becoming mainstream with their goal to have every American singing "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me" in a droning monochromatic hypnotized voice all day every day...

...doesn't mean anyone should be whining in here. Get a grip.

Nice way of driving home a point, Will.

Absolutely no reason for anyone to be dismayed.

paragraphs, baby, paragraphs :D

on edit: it wouldn't be as effective broken up.

in one sentence.

:)

great job!

It's going to take me a while to catch my breath!

that's saying something :D

I think you may have to take a number ;)

in the spirit in which it was given.

Is the toiulet bowl all nice and clean? :)

Dayum!

so erotic? :evilgrin: What is it that makes us want to rip clothing off men who give good paragragh? :shrug: ROTFLMAO HMS at how long the line is for Will and a few others...Would try to get a number but can't get up off the floor... :toast:

Been crushing for awhile now. The pic of RFK doesn't hurt the image either.

Excellent Will, plain EXCELLENT.

:toast:

Gotta love the irony!

...but Stephanie Miller's a lot cuter.

<LOL>

Thanks for validating my reasons. :thumbsup: :D

:D

yes and because we are royally fuck-ed yes and I put my hands to my keyboard yes so he could feel my wrath and my fingers were going like mad yes I said yes I will whine yes.

:P

The first one, I mean. :thumbsup: *fangirls you*

Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings with horned helmets on. A man and his wife enter.

Man (Eric Idle): You sit here, dear.

Wife (Graham Chapman in drag): All right.

Man (to Waitress): Morning!

Waitress (Terry Jones, in drag as a bit of a rat-bag): Morning!

Man: Well, what've you got?

Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam;

Vikings (starting to chant): Spam spam spam spam...

Waitress: ...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam...

Vikings (singing): Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam!

Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor au Crevette with a Mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.

Wife: Have you got anything without spam?

Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.

Wife: I don't want ANY spam!

Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?

Wife: THAT'S got spam in it!

Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?

Vikings: Spam spam spam spam (crescendo through next few lines)

Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?

Waitress: Urgghh!

Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like spam!

Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

Waitress: Shut up!

Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can't have egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam.

Wife (shrieks): I don't like spam!

Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam beaked beans spam spam spam and spam!

Vikings (singing): Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off.

Man: Well could I have her spam instead of the baked beans then?

Waitress: You mean spam spam spam spam spam spam... (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words)

Vikings (singing elaborately): Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam spam spam!

I want to read this but the cataract in my left eye won't let me. I know you did this deliberately to make a point, but damn I wanna read it :cry: and I can't.

then you can format it as you please.

Should've thought of it myself.

I'm disgusted.

...doesn't mean anyone should be whining in here. Get a grip.

I appreciate it and a great piece as you always write. :loveya:

that was profound!

I understand why he wrote it as one long sentenc, but honestly, it did hurt my eyes; and there's too many good points in it to not have people read it all the way through.

Paragraphs give us room to visually and mentally "breathe" between ideas.

:thumbsup:

Much more impact before.

:P

Worlds longest sentence.


BTW what good does whining do. We've got to mobilize instead of whining.

merits to some degree for therapy, but you are right, we do need to mobilize.

Unconscious on my floor.

I didn't do it.

I swear.

with the dry cat powder. Enjoy reading your stuff. Ya'all come back often ya hear!

just wondering.

LOL! Brilliant! Thanks for the nutshell! I think it's all there, but I am still reading. :yourock:

Just because you think you're pretty.

Just because you think you got somethin'
That no one else has got.

etc.

HAHAHAHA

from the outfits Pickles keeps getting photographed in,to the veep's haute couture. That alone is worth downing in a glass of cheap whiskey.

Great post!!!

Having some mastery myself of the lengthy sentence, you may rate my awe appropriately here. That is on helluva sentence, Sir! It really ought to get somebody or other twenty years in The Hague.

Aw shit I can't even do a subject line without fukin punctuation

at least we will not go silent into that good night. thanks for the rant, when they are starting to talk about John Edwards serving gay masters and how his son is burning in hell for his transgressions and that his whole family will be punished, and someone has brutally killed the family of a judge, and this is possibly linked to a white supremicist group, everyday America becomes less, it's like the whole concept of liberty and justice for all is slowly being diluted with hatred and bigotry. Keep ranting, Will.

...with a swirling freakish font and a pulsating swirlerling multi-color background... ooooh makes my head hurt and my guts urple just to think about it...

Now, can you fix the link please? All I get is Denied, or was that the point?

Did I say how nice that was?

-Hoot

Social in-security, global warming, international fear and loathing, brainwashed public, suicidal rapturists, environmental disrespect, pharmaceutical blackmail, health care rationing, compromised politicians, rigged elections, and whores in the White House press room.

Whine??? I'm crying!

and because at least 7 out of the 10 parts of the bill of rights have been eviscerated (I-free speech, IV - Search & seizure, V - due process, VI - public trial etc, VII - trial by jury, VIII - cruel & unusual, X - states rights), and because they are inventing a bizarre new collection of freakish weapons like LRADs and pain machines.

And don't forget Haiti.

:kick:

I didn't get beyond the 3rd line.

but I went to the "lied with their bare faces hanging out" link and all I got was "access denied". Must be some secret thing, seeing that.

I was not able to view the link either.

This is the proper link:

http://forum.truthout.org/blog/story/2005/2/4/232815/1988

and thanks for all your articles!

and I don't whine, I bitch. I bitch, therefor I am

has an 'annoyance' level that can NOT be ignored.

Therefore,Dem's need to quit whining,and start bitching LOUD, followed by action.
Bitching action #1: One Bitchin' Presidential Impeachment!

a while. I love good old traditional hymns. At my wife's fundy church, we have to sing that God-awful "Shout To The Lord" crap, and repeat it mindlessly 37 times in a row. Bleh!

It is one of my favorites too, and I dislike the choruses as well, which have sneaked into mainstream protestant churches like Presbyterian and methodist, although they are in the new hymnbooks disguised as hymns.

Geez, you left out an awful lot of stuff. Could have been so much longer. <g>

I take it that you are responding to the sniveling over a comparatively minor congressional vote, eh?

While our house is falling down around us some DU denizens take to dusting the furniture, vacuuming the rug, and straightening the closets, as the dust from the crumbling ceiling fills the air with a cloud of unbreathable destructive particles, and the windows having been blown out by the stinking lies of the thousand blowhards from Pennsylvania Avenue, yeah, from that DC avenue just around the corner from one of the most gawd-awful slums I've ever seen, and the blood of thousands of fighters for America's freedom slowly goes to waste because the freedoms they bled for are being sold to the corporations who deal us our hands from a stacked deck of cards and people are complaining and whining all the while about the furniture being moved around? Is that what you are saying?

If so, you said it well.

I found myself holding my breath as I was reading, because there was no good place to come up for air. Very effective! Oxygen deprivation feeds the frenzy....I was freakin' angry and in a lather by the time I got to the end. We should all memorize this, and if asked what we don't like about the blivet, we can open the spigot and spew. How about one-sentence rants on a regular basis, Mr. Pitt? Instead of FYI, perhaps...Pitt from the Pulpit!

Amazing, Will Pitt wrote that mother-of-all-paragraphs on his laptop while holding his breath, traveling through the Sumner tunnel. Asshole Showboat! :)

:P

with both hands tied behind your back? Damn, Will, you are good.

:P

Take a deep breath!

...just because this administration sees wildlife refuges and wants to drill them, sees national forests and wants to clear cut them, thinks mercury is overrated as a toxin, wants to cut Superfund funding, wants to gut the Endangered Species Act, crafts Orwellian phrases like Clear Skies and Healthy Forests to describe its wholesale rape of our natural resources to pay off its corporate masters, denies the existence of global warming, wants to increase the amount of allowable arsenic in drinking water, wants to ease restrictions on coal-fired power plant emissions and wants to shove all the nation's nuclear waste down the reluctant throats of everyone in Nevada ... is no reason to whine.

Hope you feel better.
It was great with all the emotion.
I tend to pace and rant out loud. Even scream at times although I am all alone in the house.
Wish I could channel it into what you do. It tends to get the message across to more people.

Delightful & such a wonder to read! (Did you pace & pound the furniture writing this out? LOL) I don't want to condone any kind of bondage here, but .... you should never be allowed to leave your keyboard - you are a WMD of words! I have sooo many people I gotta send this to! Love it, I love it, I LOVE it!

from a world class whiner (me):hug: :loveya:

It's my party (Dem) and I'll whine if I wanna, whine if I wanna, whine if I wanna... you would whine tooo, if it happened toooo youou.

Everything happening these days at the hands of the incompetent, ruthless Reeptiles is just so...

... whinable!!!

Sue

... you don't have to use good English to make a point well. Well said.

"All this liberal whining will drive away the moderates. We'll be marginalized!"

--Or so they keep telling us. I don't believe them, either.

I'm saving this as a primer for why I'm angry, the day to day fatigue gets you down. Thank you!

but the meat of it was one long damn fine sentence. :)

I love it! Now I have to go back and actually read it!

and saved it under Bushrant.doc for easy access when I get some email from someone who doesn't understand why we don't get behind our Great Leader.

:shrug:

Aside from moving it to Word, you can triple click Will's text (at least in IE) which selects the entire post. When you print, click on the "Selection" option, and print away.

You oughta be a writer. Heh heh.

--IMM

*while retching*"Good lord man, why didn't you stop drinking that glass full of everyone's Phlegm?!?! You already won the bet!"

"Icouldn'titwasallonepiece...."

But the author called GWB every obscene name in the book, so I can't post it. If you want a copy, I can email it. It was great.

Saw it out on FYI and I love it. It says it all in one concise (well, maybe not concise) sentence.

That was the heading of a letter to the editor in my local newspaper to which I couldn't resist responding.

Both the letter and my response follow - and now I may well look up the guy and mail him a copy of yours.
=============================================

Democrats do nothing but whine and complain -

Throughout my business career and personal life, I have followed the adage "Do not make a criticism, unless you are able to offer a positive suggestion."

Anyone who follows the national daily news cannot help but conclude that the Democrats in Congress and their political leaders do nothing but criticize, complain and whine at every proposal made by the administration and the Republican congressional leaders.

The Democrats have not offered a single plan or proposal to address the critical issues of our nation. They just criticize, complain and carp. There is another old adage that says,"If you can't lead or follow, get out of the way." The Democratic leadership in Congress and politics are starting to sound like some of the European nations.

Maybe they would be more comfortable over there in those socialistic do nothing societies. I sincerely hope that the average Democrat citizen realizes what is happening with their political party. Perhaps the result of the presidential election was the beginning of such realization.

xxxxxxxxx, Wilmington Delaware
=====================================================
MY RESPONSE -

Democratic solutions are ignored -

I felt compelled to answer the letter of Mr. xxxxxxxxxx who claimed Democrats criticize, complain and whine without offering solutions. First, I'd like to reply that the Republican takeover of all three branches of our government leaves Democrats with precious little else to do than vocalize their objections to this President's agendas. Even the tired and currently false chanting of conservatives about the bias of the liberal media has become insult to injury since all major media outlets are now owned and controlled by monopolistic corporations who have a vested interest in supporting the big-business favoritism of this good ol' boy administration.

Second, if Mr. xxxxxxxxx hasn't heard "a single plan or proposal to address the critical issues of our nation", it can only be because he isn't listening. To illustrate several issues on which Democratic proposals have been ignored, I offer this list: Regarding pre-9/11 security problems --listen to the advice of the previous administration's top terror specialist who highlighted and requested urgent meetings regarding Bin Laden and Taliban plans regarding hijackings. As for post-9/11, go after Bin Laden in Afghanistan and stop trying to pretend he was connected to Hussein and Iraq. Failing that, stop lying about WMDs. Failing that, if you want to take on tyranny, admit that it's rampant around the world and not just in the countries that happen to exist over the oil that you want.

Regarding Iran and North Korea, remember that we are a citizen of the world and work with all nations possible instead of alienating them. When it comes to Social Security, how about if government just stops stealing from it and pays back the huge amounts they've borrowed? The easiest solution in the world, even without their paying back what's owed, would be to raise the cap at which contributions to Social Security stop for the wealthy. Studies already show that would correct today’s problems. Private accounts will add trillions to the deficit, prove too risky to individuals in the long run and serve only to create more profits for wealthy investors and the brokers who will sell those accounts. Finally, Democratic sentiments regarding the separation of church and state go something like this: You can teach religion in my school if I can teach science in your church.

As for those "socialistic do nothing societies" to which Mr. xxxxxxx refers, perhaps the principle of 'first, do no harm' is preferable to the headfirst lunge into billion dollar deficits, record levels of Americans in poverty and huge increases in corporate cronyism and war profiteering that this Republican administration has accomplished by creating a false war and stealing two presidential elections. Hey. I could be wrong. But at least I'm listening.

xxxxxxxxxxx, Hockessin, DE

Man, you hit a LOT in those four paragraphs!

did they publish?

the part about corporate media or teaching religion in schools.

Thanks CitySky.

Can you tattoo it on *'s backside?

Tourist: Yes I quite agree I mean what's the point of being treated like sheep. What's the pointof going abroad if you're just another tourist carted around in
buses surrounded by sweaty mindless oafs from Kettering and Coventry in their cloth caps and their cardigans and their transistor radios and their Sunday
Mirrors, complaining about the tea - "Oh they don't make it properly here, do they, not like at home" - and stopping at Majorcan bodegas selling fish and chips
and Watney's Red Barrel and calamares and two veg and sitting in their cotton frocks squirting Timothy White's suncream all over their puffy raw swollen purulent
flesh 'cos they "overdid it on the first day."

Bounder: (agreeing patiently) Yes absolutely, yes I quite agree...

Tourist: And being herded into endless Hotel Miramars and Bellvueses and Continentales with their modern international luxury roomettes and draught Red
Barrel and swimming pools full of fat German businessmen pretending they're acrobats forming pyramids and frightening the children and barging into queues
and if you're not at your table spot on seven you miss the bowl of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup, the first item on the menu of International Cuisine, and
every Thursday night the hotel has a bloody cabaret in the bar, featuring a tiny emaciated dago with nine-inch hips and some bloated fat tart with her hair
brylcreemed down and a big arse presenting Flamenco for Foreigners.

Bounder: (beggining to get fed up) Yes, yes now......

Tourist: And then some adenoidal typists from Birmingham with flabby white legs and diarrhoea trying to pick up hairy bandy-legged wop waiters called Manuel
and once a week there's an excursion to the local Roman Remains to buy cherryade and melted ice cream and bleeding Watney's Red Barrel and one evening
you visit the so called typical restaurant with local colour and atmosphere and you sit next to a party from Rhyl who keep singing "Torremolinos, torremolinos"
and complaining about the food - "It's so greasy isn't it?" - and you get cornered by some drunken greengrocer from Luton with an Instamatic camera and Dr.
Scholl sandals and last Tuesday's Daily Express and he drones on and on about how Mr. Smith should be running this country and how many languages Enoch
Pow ell can speak and then he throws up over the Cuba Libres.

Bounder: Will you be quiet please

Tourist: And sending tinted postcards of places they don't realise they haven't even visited to "All at number 22, weather wonderful, our room is marked with an
'X'.

Bounder: Shut up

Tourist: Food very greasy but we've found a charming little local place hidden away in the back streets

Bounder: Shut up!

Tourist: where they serve Watney's Red Barrel and cheese and onion.......

Bounder: Shut up your bloody gob....

Tourist: crisps and the accordionist plays 'Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner'." And spending four days on the tarmac at Luton airport on a five-day package
tour with nothing to eat but dried BEA-type sandwiches and you can't even get a drink of Watney's Red Barrel because you're still in England and the bloody
bar closes every time you're thirsty and there's nowhere to sleep and the kids are crying and vomiting and breaking the plastic ash-trays and they keep telling
you it'll only be another hour although your plane is still in Iceland and has to take some Swedes to Yugoslavia before it can load you up at 3 a.m. in the bloody
morning and you sit on the tarmac till six because of "unforeseen difficulties", i.e. the permanent strike of Air Traffic Control in Paris - and nobody can go to the
lavatory until you take off at 8, and when you get to Malaga airport everybody's swallowing "enterovioform" and queuing for the toilets and queuing for the armed
customs officers, and queuing for the bloody bus that isn't there to take you to the hotel that hasn't yet been finished. And when you finally get to the half-built
Algerian ruin called the Hotel del Sol by paying half your holiday money to a licensed bandit in a taxi you find there's no water in the pool, there's no water in the
taps, there's no water in the bog and there's only a bleeding lizard in the bidet. And half the rooms are double booked and you can't sleep anyway because of
the permanent twenty-four-hour drilling of the foundations of the hotel next door - and you're plagues by appalling apprentice chemists from Ealing pretending to
be hippies, and middle-class stockbrokers' wives busily buying identical holiday villas in suburban development plots just like Esher, in case the Labour
government gets in again, and fat American matrons with sloppy-buttocks and Hawaiian-patterned ski pants looking for any mulatto male who can keep it up long
enough when they finally let it all flop out. And the Spanish Tourist Board promises you that the raging cholera epidemic is merely a case of mild Spanish
tummy, like the previous outbreak of Spanish tummy in 1660 which killed half London and decimated Europe - and meanwhile the bloody Guardia are busy
arresting sixteen-year-olds for kissing in the streets and shooting anyone under nineteen who doesn't like Franco. And then on the last day in the airport lounge
everyone's comparing sunburns, drinking Nasty Spumante, buying cartons of duty free "cigarillos" and using up their last pesetas on horrid dolls in Spanish
National costume and awful straw donkeys and bullfight posters with your name on "Ordoney, El Cordobes and Brian Pules of Norwich" and 3-D pictures of the
Pope and Kennedy and Franco, and everybody's talking about coming again next year and you swear you never will although there you are tumbling
bleary-eyed out of a tourist-tight antique Iberian airplane...

what you're hearing is the low rumble before the mob erupts.

A lovely, long sentence. Seems very appropriate for this (mis)administration - we should strive to get them all a long, long sentence.

You summed it up quite nicely.
Haven't heard one peep from any of my pug friends.

And I salute you! :toast:

Will Pitt has found his niche... :)

about what those fuckbubbles are doing with the ESA and the environment in general. I'll reread it then kill myself.

good old-fashioned vote fraud", etc, doesn't cut it, Will. The fact that the fraud was greater by several orders of magnitude and virtually nationwide can't be emphasised enough, can it? I realise it was intended as satirical understatement, but it made my hair stand on end reading it, because that will be their attempted defence.
