Hey guys, check it out: Bush not only Godwinned, but he compared Bin Laden to Lenin. Awesome.

* Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the U.S. hadn't made an official declaration of war since 1942.

Bush reminds Americans U.S. is at war

He's the Reminder.

[sabotabby]

But...at war with what?

[threepunchstuff.livejournal.com]

Let him decide. That's his job!

[sabotabby]

He's the decider.

[frandroid.livejournal.com]

Pardon me, he's the deciderer!

[caprinus.livejournal.com]

You mean 1492, when U.S. declared war against T.H.E.M.?

Anyway, Bin Laden who? I thought he's been dismissed as unimportant, now he's Hitler and Lenin again? Then who was Saddam? I am so confused.

[sabotabby]

I thought Saddam was Stalin on account of the moustache.

[nom-de-grr.livejournal.com]

Wait... who's Castro? Is Castro still Castro?

[bike4fish.livejournal.com]

Castro? Someone with a beard.

[sabotabby]

No, Hugo Chavez is the new Castro, except for when he's Hitler.

This all gets so confusing.

[burkesworks.livejournal.com]

So how come the Castro Clones of San Francisco only have moustaches?

[ducks and runs]

[sabotabby]

They only bring their beards to weddings.

[burkesworks.livejournal.com]

Ba-doom, tish! :)

[apperception.livejournal.com]

Hey, remember how there were supposed to be many Saddam look-alikes? I wonder what ever happened to them...

[sabotabby]

They'll be the Iraqi equivalent of Elvis impersonators.

[apperception.livejournal.com]

Heh. But do you remember how after the invasion everyone was asking, "Where's Saddam?" You'd figure that with all the look-alikes people would be asking, "Who's not Saddam?"

[sabotabby]

I'm not sure that they actually caught Saddam. Dude kinda looks like Mel Gibson.

[terry-terrible.livejournal.com]

Don't forget Zaraqawi, even though he's dead, his zombie might get you.

[sabotabby]

Zaraqawi who?

[violachic.livejournal.com]

Oh, is this a knock knock joke?

[sabotabby]

It should be.

[gabski.livejournal.com]

hahaa... i just posted something about this speech too!!! americans truly are useless peices of shit if they fall for this BS. i cant even deal... id like hum to be mussolini'd... as long as we're talking about dictators and fascism :)

[gabski.livejournal.com]

oh and i particularly liked this one..

"The best way to protect America is to stay on the offence," he said.

[sabotabby]

He's certainly offensive enough.

[gabski.livejournal.com]

he offends me every time he opens his mouth or shows his face.
i wanted to write the white house a letter saying that i heard neo-nazis were in iraq and that the US was appeasing them and that i was concerned... but im leaving for Spain tomorrow and didnt want to f* up my chances of boarding a plane... oooohhhhhh... but when i get back... hehehe... :)

So if Bush has fallen subject to Godwin's, does this mean the administrations thread on The War On Terror is officially over?

Or does this invoke Craigslist's Rant And Rave Conundrum, which means the GOP will can revert to whining about fat chicks and/or how women in other cities/countries make better girlfriends than the locals?

[sabotabby]

Please expand on this Craigslist Conundrum. I'm afraid that I only use Craigslist for checking out apartments, furniture, and the odd kitten that I can't have.

[fengi.livejournal.com]

The Rants and Raves section started in response to people posting joke ads in other areas, especially Missed Connections. It's allegedly for posting unsigned complaints or praise only with no discussion, this is not enforced. It's one of the biggest, dumbest open threads around, one giant digression, a free trolling zone where even the rational people run wild.

There is one aspect which seems odd even for a forum named "Rants and Raves" - no matter where the conversation goes it eventually returns to fat chicks and/or American vs. foreign women. Homophobia and generalized misogyny often crop up, but the default setting appears to be female weight and the myraid ways women from other countries treat men better than US gals. No matter how spectacular or lengthy any given thought gets played out, eventually fat girls and foreign chicks appear. Not only in new, unrelated posts, but within ongoing discussions.

It strikes me as odd - if you asked me what would be the most common topics in an anonymous forum designed for impulsive venting, fat and foreign would not be my first thought - thus I call it a conundrum.

[sabotabby]

I saw a lot of "all women are the same and they only want to date assholes" posts. I think most were written by assholes, so I'm not sure why, if their theories were accurate, they are having so many problems getting laid.

[fallsilent.livejournal.com]

This is the sorta shit you throw back into the face of all your conservative buddies who go on and on about how librulz compare Bush to Hitler all the time. How about we just avoid these references altogether? At least for originality's sake. Pol Pot is feeling neglected.

[sabotabby]

The problem is that in order to make a Pol Pot analogy, someone has to have the equivalent of scads of Cambodian skulls lying around. Which most people don't.

That didn't stop some very strange individuals for making Pol Pot–ARA comparisons, but it had to do with the anarcho-syndicalist flag more than anything else.

[terry-terrible.livejournal.com]

"but it had to do with the anarcho-syndicalist flag more than anything else."

How so?

[sabotabby]

The Khmer Rouge flag.


The anarcho-syndicalist flag.

They kinda look the same if you don't pay attention to the big white cross thing in the middle. This video just showed a bunch of ARA folks with the anarchist flag, then the Khmer Rouge flag, then a pile of Cambodian skulls, I guess drawing the brilliant conclusion that ARA commits genocide.

[gillen.livejournal.com]

Who the hell lists Lenin and Hitler together?

[sabotabby]

Neo-conservatives bravely waging the war against Islamofascistcommunism. And teh ghey.

[seaya.livejournal.com]

The U.S. has indeed not made an official declaration of war in a while. I'm not cetain but maybe Korea was the last one.

[sabotabby]

Did they actually declare war, though? I remember my tenth grade history teacher telling me that the Korean War was officially still on, but I think it might have been a "military action" rather than a war.

[lopukhov.livejournal.com]

mhm. You have your ahmurrcan history and civics down, more than most ahmurrcans in this land here. I like how he's doing it a week short of teh (What year again?)^th ahnivurrsery of omgnevarrforget911. I need a lolz icon.

[sabotabby]

Well, we had American History* in high school. Do you guys have Canadian History?

Is it TOO SOON to start the betting pool for a) OMG911WHATYEARWASIT? or b) November sweeps? I don't think they've even named a new Top Enemy Guy in Iraq yet.

God, I feel cynical.

[lopukhov.livejournal.com]

No, we didn't have Canuckistani history. It was from my Intro to French class that I learned that Canuckistan beat Ahmurrcah in some kind of war in the 1800s.

Lolz Ahmurrcan elections. I messed up at the primaries and accidentally marked 2 names with my felt tip pen, and the machine wouldn't swallow my ballot.
