11. Attempts to connect Clark with some UN mission in Haiti

where people claimed that the UN used some kind of tear gas or pesticide that supposedly caused men to grow boobs. Seriously.

4. You don't want to know

The picture is quite frankly just plain WRONG! If I remember correctly though it didn't really matter much, aside from a very WRONG picture!

8. Tell us

I honestly don't remember. It was just something I saw every now and then. I didn't lurk a lot. But now I just kinda laugh about it - what could it have been?

10. That picture sends certain of us female members

into fits of slobbering hysteria.

It's OK, though. I've worked through my single-female issues. ;)

15. HAHA,

Edited on Sun Apr-03-05 10:41 PM by Lefta Dissenter

I have that photo autographed by the Man, himself! :7 (I did get a chuckle from the staffer when I sent the picture down for the autograph, but he got it done!)

...and I don't have single-female issues - it's just that my poor husband has to put up with my married-female issues! :evilgrin:

edited to add that I sure as hell hope that Wes Jr. isn't reading this thread - how embarrassing is that???

(sorry, Wes, but your dad is truly hot)

I figure it's fair game.

And, why yes, I do... but, apparently photobucket is having server problems and my other images are in limbo. :cry:

32. It's only certain albums that were stored on that server

Mine was on "that" server. The online note says no pictures were lost, I just can't access them now.

Anywho, I'm doing OK. I would like a White Light Shoutout, however. I'm supposed to hear back from that follow-up job interview tomorrow - the one doing marketing and administrative work for the funeral home/cemetery.

My grandmother is buried there. And I had a GREAT time one Halloween in my college years with a scavenger hunt that ended there. I could be easily drawn there.

(BTW, death doesn't depress me in terms of being around it, a lot. I'm used to that as a former police reporter with a mother and a grandmother who were hospice nurses.)

18. Now we see why I think Counterpunch is something of an outlier

in the credibility department.

You're on the right track, kevsand. It was some poster who kept coming on here countering Clark supporters with this article(s). I don't remember all of it, either. It started before I joined DU, but was still ongoing.

19. It was allegedly some secret government project.

that caused Haitian men to grow boobs. Sounds like an X-File. Or an XXX-File.

CC sent a whole bunch to me to put on mugs, but, with the melancholy I've been feeling about the Pope, I haven't done it, yet. I will though. I just need to wake up outta my funk.

You can visit if you like!

P.S. I just noticed you don't have a "donating star." You may not have access. It's just a DU forum where we espouse the wonders of Keith Olbermann.

24. On DU, that issue was mainly pushed by

a fanatacally anti-Clark poster who went by the name of "seventhson", and was into promoting wild conspiracy theories which unfortunately, many people on this board tend to accept quite easily and uncritically.

At any rate, on election night, seventhson outed himself as a freeper and was immediately banned. In spite of that, many people on this board still buy into the stuff that he was pushing.

Some Clark supporters on here still occasionally refer to the matter in a joking fashion. (I've been guilty of this myself on occasion.)

30. Here's a couple of the threads

that seventhson started on the topic in the 48 or so hours after the Counterpunch story was originally posted in September of 2003. Is there any limit to what people will believe?

He never did let go of it. And people kept reminding him about it, too. Kinda sad if it wasn't so freakin' funny...

35. Hilarious

On the plus side, most DUers were pretty hostile towards the idea.
