Why would anyone want a F'ing Brylcreme president?

In all things, from his personal grooming habits to his attitude towards women, Rmoney is stuck in the 50's. His Mad Men shtick and related business sense reflects the prevailing RW attempt to turn back the clock on all progress in the last 60 years.

The only thing they don't want are the Eisenhower tax rates and business/banking laws.

Now he's disgraced, he is the goat

Some say because he lied and lied

The truth is, though, he never tried

Once the obligatory regulatory hurdles are cleared, his hair can be a source of oil for years.

I actually used Brylcreme for a while back when I had hair.
It was 'non-greasy'.

9. Maybe even the Royal Crown Hair Pomade president?
Wed May 23, 2012, 07:25 PM

It's basically Vaseline for hair.





Ingredients:
Petrolatum Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil Fragrance

"Royal Crown has got to be one of the most popular pomades around. Well, at least in hearsay. People have been whispering to one another for years, saying that Elvis used this for his glorious pomp. As well as Johnny Cash, who I’m pretty sure, is the one who actually used this stuff for his amazing hair. Regardless, Royal Crown is pretty much a house hold name, when talking about pomade."

what a bummer. I had a stupid alert to jury too.


At Thu May 24, 2012, 06:00 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

cue up the Kucinich haters in 5...4...3...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1016&pid=29312


REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

a vicious attack on those at Democratic Underground who have legitimate concerns about Rep. Kucinich's behavior.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu May 24, 2012, 06:04 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Oh get over it already. This is a discussion board. People are going to disagree with you. This is NOT an attack.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: cue up the whiny alerters.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Why are you wasting people's time with such a trivial alert? Get out, enjoy the sunshine, hug your children, read some poetry, drink a glass of wine, watch a funny movie. Trolling is a disease and pizza is the cure.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: This is hardly a "vicious attack" as the alerter stated. No big deal.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I think this is a benign statement. Not everyone who feels this is wrong is a Kucinich hater.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

21. O Brother, Where Art Thou?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Brother,_Where_Art_Thou%3F

O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a 2000 comedy film directed by Joel and Ethan Coen and starring George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, John Goodman, Holly Hunter, and Charles Durning. Set in 1937 rural Mississippi during the Great Depression, the film's story is a modern satire loosely based on Homer’s Odyssey. The title of the film is a reference to the 1941 film Sullivan's Travels, in which the protagonist (a director) wants to direct a film about the Great Depression called O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Just how they still use "Commie" as a pejorative, even though the only real "Commies" around are their buddies in China. It's the McCarthy era all over again. I guess they're trying again in hopes of a different outcome.
