I Like DU BECAUSE of it's Diversity of Opinion, & no Lockstep Mentality.
Opinions are all over the place here, and I see it as a positive. Take any subject and there's always room for disagreement, unless you say Bush is a jerkoff, we're all lock-stepped on that.

4. Actually I've been known to defend
Bush now and then. Anytime anyone writes how awful and hungover he looks, I remind them that he is 60. Because that's how I look ALL THE TIME.

But he is still a J-O.

5. You are always a bright spot on these boards, Grannie.
My personal granny lives in Tampa.

8. HAHA! Good point
except that people of great privilege and little work often look a whole lot better than the rest of us do at advanced age. They have less stress, lower work loads, better food, and stellar medical care. They are pampered every day of their lives and it generally shows.

So when Stupid looks hung over, he most likely is hung over, whether from some prescription to allow him to quiet his conscience and sleep at night or from his drug of choice.

It's not like he's aging himself with hard work, you know, not with his vacation schedule and 9 PM bedtime.

6. I agree 100%
It always makes me laugh when someone paints us as all being in lockstep and parroting the party line. What party line?

I suppose to RWers who do nothing but that, it's inconceivable that we all have opinions and can disagree.

7. I, too, like DU because of its diversity of opinion,
and non-lockstep mentality.
