Each reply to this thread in the next two hours = Two Cents to DU!

[UrbScotty]

NOTE: I'm extending it to two hours!

I think it's almost DU Fund Drive Time!

If I don't donate within a few weeks, I will lose my star soon. How much should I donate, though?

Well... I'm not terribly rich, but for every reply to this thread, I will donate $0.02 to the Democratic Underground!

Four rules:

1. Post about anythng you want!
2. Post as often as you want!
3. Don't break any DU rules. (I doubt this will be a problem)
4. All posts must be made by 12:43 PM EDT (9:43 PDT, 4:43 GMT) in order to count.

So... what are your "two cents?"

p.s. I got this idea from a thread New Hampster started last month in GD. Thanks, New Hampster!

"Mostly Maui Wowee, man, but it's got some Labrador in it."

[Pale_Rider]

20. Some really great Bush quotes!

And all Iraqi military and civilian personnel should listen carefully to this warning: In any conflict, your fate will depend on your actions. Do not destroy oil wells, a source of wealth that belongs to the Iraqi people. Do not obey any command to use weapons of mass destruction against anyone, including the Iraqi people. War crimes will be prosecuted, war criminals will be punished and it will be no defense to say, "I was just following orders."

-George W. Bush, 3/19/2003

I expect them to be treated, the POWs, I expect to be treated humanely, just like we're treating the prisoners that we have captured humanely. If not, the people who mistreat the prisoners will be treated as war criminals.

-George W. Bush, 3/23/2003

[UrbScotty]

36. What a difference fourteen months make. (nt)

157. There are SOME sane people in this state

Gore, Al D 1,111,138 47.08

2000 Election Results

Besides, I have the privelege of voting in a swing state. My vote actually matters in this election. Not to mention converting freepers.:evilgrin:

[UrbScotty]

248. My vote matters, too

I live in Michigan!

[strategery blunder]

249. Is MI expected to be as close as MO?

I thought MI leaned Democratic to begin with...bu$h* would have to devote a lot of resources to MI to make it close, wouldn't he?

And wouldn't people there be especially pissed off over the economy? And less likely to vote for der Shrubenfuhrer?

by radiohead

Are you such a dreamer?
To put the world to rights?
I'll stay home forever
Where two & two always
makes up five

I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag & hide
January has April's showers
And two & two always
makes up five

It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream & you
can shout
It is too late now
Because

You have not been
paying attention

I try to sing along
I get it all wrong
Ezeepeezeeeezeepeeezee
NOT
I swat em like flies but
Like flies the burgers
Keep coming back
NOT
Maybe not
"All hail to the thief"
"But I am not!"
"Don't question my authority
or put me in the dock"
Cozimnot!
Go & tell the king that
The sky is falling in
When it's not
Maybe not.

(ahh diddums.)

thats another 2 cents.

Okay, so I couldn't stay away, and since my studying is online... :evilgrin:

Anyhow, I say we all start answering questions from other Lounge threads here (unless it's a really important question). That way, everyone at DU will have to look at this thread and respond to it, thus generating more money for DU!

I'll start:

NO I am not watching the Timberwolves game, and YES I sometimes use race as a way to identify people to those who don't know them.

[Book Lover]

243. Hmmmm.... two cents, eh?

It's time to take away the position's commander-in-chief power. I don't know where it should then go, but of course it should be a civilian power. Ha, maybe the judiciary! Another thing - all the nonsense ceremony should be put in the dustbin. Pardoning the Thanksgiving turkey, lighting the White House Xmas tree, signing ceremonies, Saturday radio address; jesus, the whole damn thing! Make him nothing more than the chief administrator of the bureaucratic, administrative arm of the government.
