A headline right now on CNN:
"Poll split on whether Bush uniter, divider."

[Smile]
That is all.

Going just off visuals, I'd say definitely divider.

Well, a vote of the voices in my head say 3 to 2 with 12 abstaining that he is a divider.

It depends. If you have one Bush, it's just a bush. But if you have two Bushes, you can place one above the other to make a two-level effect with a nice little path running in between.

Ni!

You know what is an even bigger giggle you bleeding heart liberal?

[Hail] BUSH WON!!! [Hail]
[The Wave] BUSH WON!!! [The Wave]
[Party] BUSH WON!!! [Party]

You liberals keep up your hate mongering. Please. That way 06 and 08 can be even bigger victories for conservatives. Without you we might have been stuck with a moderate. Thanks you!

Jay. Look at the innuendo within the text.

Poll (pole). Bush. Divider/uniter.

It has nothing to do with politics. (Am I nuts, or should this one really not have to be explained?)

Gee……
Tom’s subject: giggles.
The sources: CNN & Tom. Both Libs
So, Tom is enjoying some negative press for President Bush. Why do you think he posted it?
I just like to remind him is all! (Bush won)
And of course this has to do with politics. It’s naive to say it doesn’t.

Nah…. I’m not a troll. I like the elves better.

"Are you a troll?"
Hmmmmm..... this is a tough one...

"bleeding heart liberal"
"You liberals keep up your hate mongering. Please. That way 06 and 08 can be even bigger victories for conservatives. Without you we might have been stuck with a moderate. Thanks you!"

"No one watches CNN anymore. FoxNews out rates them."

My professional opinion would be either 13year old troll from Kentucky, or 37 year old repressed liberal troll with severe leanings twords communism who lives in Alaska(or West Virginia [Wink] ). Your guess is as good as mine as to which. But I'm sticking to the troll diagnosis.

edit: That elves comment kind of pushes them over the edge into 13, I'm thinking..

Okay, now I'm doubting the original purpose of this thread and wondering if I just have a particularly dirty mind.

I mean, I know I do. But still, I thought this one was self-evident.

i thought it was funny that the poll, which is trying to determine if bush was a uniter/divider, was split. that was my first thought. the dirty one is funny too...

Bush detractors believe he is a divider, which is silly since he's doing one heck of a job uniting them.

Bush supports agree that he is a uniter, especially when he announces his plans to ship anyone who disagrees with him to Guantanamo as Enemy Combatants.

Slashdot is fine. It's the junkies that stick to it that are difficult.

I definitely thought the way Ralphie did, originally. I was going to post something more risque, but I decided Monty Python was more Hatrack-acceptable.

Jay, I don't want to sound mean, but get over it. An "us versus them" attitude is always the wrong one.

I think that in order to gloat about Bush winning you should have to be old enough to have voted for him.

Or act like it, anyway.

While the dirty interpretation frankly never occurred to me, I'm relieved that Ralphie's still holding up her end of that bargain.

That said, yes, I found the subtext of the poll -- that the nation was divided on the issue of whether or not Bush was a divider -- to be amusing.

In fact, my second post in this thread was intended to defuse the political commentary I feared it might otherwise receive, since it's not essential to the Funny (although I'll admit that a little political bias in one direction makes the Funny a bit more poignant).

I had to look twice. Actually, three times, but one was because I was distracted by something in the office.

I have to say, the image I get of Tom pressing his fingers to his lips, with the fingertips pointing straight up toward his nose, and kind of squonching inward while emitting a high pitched, girlish giggle, is one of the most distrubing things Hatrack has ever inspired me to visualize. [Angst]

I have to say that Tom doesn't really giggle in person.

He explosively laughs in a pure expression of delight, which has recently been followed by sheepish looks as Sophie wails from being startled awake and I glower.

He often giggles in writing, though, which leads me to believe that there are many times that he must just be giggling on the inside.
