1. Good goddess, Yes!!!!
Weiner's weiner ain't that interesting, ya know? It's crowding out real news -- ironically the same thing we bitch about right here on DU.

11. Like everything else, this too shall pass.
Just give it time.

In the meantime, just ignore the Weiner/weener threads.

10. That's a really good idea and name...
It would sure save me from hiding a hundred threads a day when this ridiculousness rides in.

4. I like the idea of a forum named General Weiner Discussion better
Then we could use it every time one of these things pops up. :D

12. Why do so many people get upset about what is being
talked about on a forum? I don't get it.
