Presidential Election 2004

It's pretty awesome that whenever anyone supports the decriminalisation of drugs they are branded as being "payed off by the pushers".

NEWS FLASH: Legalisation would be VERY BAD for the drug dealers.

That wasnt bad for g0zen, but its definitely not up to par for you. Better luck next time.

You never let me be silly

I don't get it, I'm not being a dick but how did that end up being a joke?

He said, "80% of people posting here have probably used drugs."

I said, "Yeah, but how many of the ones who have have been elected governor and then imposed stiffer penalties on drug offenders."

He responded with, "Dozens, etc.," of course meaning governors, not people who post here.

So I said, "Wow, I didn't know so many governors posted here," playing off his original post.

It wasn't very funny, but it's even less so if I have to explain it.

Legalization, yes. But that's not gonna happen. Decriminalization would be just fine with the dealers. In Holland the coffee shops are supplied by secret grow rooms because producing large quantities of marijuana is still illegal and yes, they do prosecute.

From boingboing.

WWADRD?

Dear Friends:

If the shoe was on the other foot, What Would a Dumbass Republican Do?

Get depressed?

Get down?

Feel defeated?

Go away?

Refrain from being an obnoxious pain in the ass, 24/7?

Temper his sense of righteous entitlement?

Mute his howls of indignation?

Question his convictions?

Hell, no!

Here's what a Dumbass Republican would do:

Act like a winner in a world full of deluded losers.

Refuse to let the "facts on the ground" deter his belief in what he's got coming.

Drown out polite civil discourse by braying his unshaken beliefs like a stuck pig.

Refuse to shut the fuck up.

Refuse to go away.

Wrap himself in the flag and impugn the patriotism of any who would question his moral superiority.

Wear a big shit-eating grin that gives the other side just a moment of pause as they lay their heads on their pillows at night.

Have a glint in his eye that says, "I may have a shit-eating grin on my face, but I'm just waiting for an opportunity to slip this knife in."

See this not as a defeat, but as an inconvenient mistake.

Friends, join me.

Do not accept.

Do not waver.

Do not shut up.

Do not give comfort with your distress.

Be an unrelenting irritant.

Be a dumbass.

Right now, attitude is everything.

Together, we can help each other bear the present while shortening the time - and it will come - when we prevail.

VIVA LA REVOLICION!

Does anyone have a color-coded population density map? I want to compare.

If we had the map with shades of purple I think it wouldn't look too far off:

Heh, thought this was funny:

Notice to Americans of Revocation of Independence from the Government ofHer Majesty Queen Elizabeth II


To the citizens of the United States of America: In the light of your failure to elect a sane President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves with consideration for the rest of world, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical dutiesover all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy.

Your new prime minister (The Rt Hon, Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for furtherelections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect

You should look up"revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up"aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up"vocabulary". Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as"like" and"you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up interspersed".

There is no such thing as"US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf.
Arrest Mel Gibson for treason.
You should relearn your original national anthem,"God Save The Queen",but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through.

You should stop playing American"football". There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American"football" is not a very good game.

The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays"American" football. You will nolonger be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is adifficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American"football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full Kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2005.
Stop referring to the"World Series" of Baseball and instead call it the"USA, Cuba and Japan Championship."
Learn to enjoy warm flat beer and steak and kidney pudding. Train waitresses to be more aggressive with customers and not to tell you their names before you eat.

You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons ifthey give you any merde.

The 98.85% of you who were not aware that there is aworld outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the bad guys."Merde" is French for"sh*t".
July 4 this no longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a newnational holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive Day." Driving on the left is now compulsory - recall all cars to effect the change immediately.

Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.
Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to
ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776).
Thank you for your cooperation and...Have a nice day!

I can't believe my county voted Bush...but then again there are a lot of conservative-orthodox jews in my county who care more about Israel than America.

Can we let this die now? Come back in four years when Giuliani kicks the Wicked Witch of the West Wing's ass.
