"If [FOX's] Todd Starnes Actually HAS a Dick, He Just Stepped on it… "

This is hilarious!

So there I was, at 3:30 on Wednesday afternoon, minding my own business (kinda) on Twitter, when what to my wondering eyes should appear but THIS little bit of stupidity…

[div style="background-color:#fff;"]@toddstarnes Democrat screaming jihad on the House floor. Who elects these nut jobs?


Wait, didn’t I see this little asswipe getting his clock cleaned on the Daily Show last night? And he’s back? Fortunately for me, he left a question mark at the end of his tweet, which I took as a wonderful opportunity to make a meaningful response.

[div style="background-color:#fff;"]@SherrieGG .@toddstarnes Fuck you. Go drink some Tang. I'd call you a douchebag but that implies you actually get close to someone's vagina.

My good deed for the day done, I went merrily back to making sure I was giving all the TeaGops equal time, when suddenly THIS appeared in my timeline.

‏[div style="background-color:#fff;"]@toddstarnes @SherrieGG does your employer know that you use that kind of language?

So I said to myself, “Self,” I said, “This dude thinks he’s, like, a big okie-doke at Faux News and that now I shall hie myself to confession and then make an abject apology to him…”

The rest of this epic takedown of FOX News' resident twitter troll is priceless!

... to report @SherrieGG to her boss for using bad language -- maybe even on an office computer.

Note to Todd: That doesn't work when you're your own boss.

Glad you're here! What a jerk! We're here at DU calling 'em out as much and as often and as vigorously as we can! It's wonderful to have you on our side! Sometimes it actually comes to this - hand-to-hand combat. That's how ALL these ratfuckers need to be treated. Like the spoiled snot-nosed five-year-old tantrum-throwers they are. Brat-children trying to run around in Mommy and Daddy clothes thinking that's all it takes to be an adult.

This place isn't just any ol' website - it's a freakin' THINK TANK!!!

I've been here since shortly after bush/cheney stole their way into the White House. I found my way here by chance, looking around online to see just how alone I was (or wasn't - did ANYBODY else out there feel as I did?) And lo and behold - I found TENS OF THOUSANDS who did! Now it's millions. But back then, it was a true oasis in a very parched desert. I didn't want to be nice. I didn't want to be polite. I wanted to call it what it was - a freakin' coup d'etat! A true HOSTAGE HOLD!!! First, I found a site called Resident Bush. The thinking of the man behind it was that you could fairly and accurately refer to dubya as a resident of the White House. So that seemed like a reasonable title for him. Then the links featured on that site led me to Buzzflash. And that, in turn, led me here to DU. I felt as though I'd finally found a home! And there I've stayed!

Even when people are jousting and bitching and yelling and cursing, it's still THE place to be, as far as I'm concerned. Hard to describe, fully, just how much I've learned here, and how much I've grown as an activist! People here don't just post opinions - they add links, and you can research stuff for yourself. You can read other people's posts and opinions, whether they're the just-folks here or Paul Krugman! We have dignitaries posting here. Will Pitt is an increasingly distinguished published author and has grown in stature and reputation since I first started reading him here. The late Elizabeth Edwards used to post here. Alan Grayson has posted here. There are people here of such incredible wisdom and clear-eyed perspective! What a talent pool there is here:

We have authors and journalists and bloggers and researchers galore here. We have teachers, students, academics, historians, and philosophers here. We have attorneys and magistrates here. We have doctors, nurses, medical specialists of many kinds, home health care workers, hospice specialists, and others along those lines here. We have aviators here. We have legislators and candidates here. We have veterans of the military here - all stripes and ranks and divisions and a whole bunch of different wars behind them. We have moms and dads here. Grandparents. Childless people and couples. Gays and straights. Blacks and Latinos. Native Americans. Europeans. South Americans. South and East Asians. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, atheists and agnostics, you name it. We have butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers. The multiple perspectives here - are AAAA-MAZING! We have volunteers of every kind. Animal lovers. Vegetarians and carnivores alike. People in recovery. Teenagers and retirees. Rich and poor. Loners and people in big extended families. Workers and the unemployed. Urban and suburban. Business people and entrepreneurs. Cooks. Sports enthusiasts of every kind and level of participation. Collectors. Designers. Musicians. Actors. Artists. Orators. Humorists. Photographers. Crafters. Scientists. Geologists. Anthropologists. Archaeologists. Mathematicians. Sociologists. Climatologists. Futurists. Astronomers. Astrologists, too. Just about as many different kinds and levels of expertise as there are stars in the sky OR the horoscope, for that matter! People celebrating, and people in mourning. Cyber-geniuses, techies, and Luddites! Activists, promoters, publicists, political analysts, and meme-schemers. And it's all HERE, and they all SHARE. The debating that goes on here will broaden your mind like nothing you've experienced!

I come here every day. Sometimes multiple times a day. It's addicting. Glad you're here! I hope you weigh in frequently!

I must quote one of the greatest dialogue exchanges in the history of cinema:

MAYOR: "Is that true?"
VENKMAN: "Yes, it's true. This man has no dick."
