Well, at least I'm not in this one - just a disembodied voice at the end.

But its got oranges! And alertness. Constant alertness.

1. Isn't John Ashcroft a member of the cultist United Pentecostal Church?

[thebigidea]

3. he is an enigma wrapped inside a sweaty enigma.

well, actually he's just a brain damaged idiot - but that hasn't stopped him from wanting to know what books you're checking out of the library!

9. a kick inside another kick...

[thebigidea]

21. this elevated level of kicking is for your own protection, of course.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. LOL...you nut

How much weed does one have to smoke to tap into their own insanity so well?

[thebigidea]

4. or how many Rumsfeld press conferences must one endure...

... to end up in BIZZZZZARRRROO WORLD!

I think my daily viewing of Rumsfeld post 9/11 pre-Iraq War led to strange changes that may result in an intriguing ABC after school special... Scott Baio in a role that may disturb you...

[TeeYiYi]

5. Juicy ! . . .

. . . :thumbsup: You guys are really good.

TBI--->> Are you the one who created 'Cheney in the bunker'? And if so, can I have another copy of it? I lost mine.:7

TYY

[TeeYiYi]

7. OMG . . . Thats IT !!! *lol*. . . . . .

Thanks again TBI.

TYY

[thebigidea]

8. thanks! its been fun cranking them out.

Most of the old ones are in a big pile at:

DVDs on the way! action figures: sometime next decade.

[freeminder]

12. thumbs up

for both of you

[thebigidea]

15. I'm thinking the "thumbs up" gesture is getting some bad press lately

thanks, though

[freeminder]

18. you're quite right

dunno what I was thinking.

still
:bounce:

[thebigidea]

19. I guess they'll have to counter it with more Twin Peaks reruns...

endless loops of Dale Cooper giving a thumbs up.

"Brought to you by the Council for the Rehabilitation of Gesture, Insolvency Division..."

[thebigidea]

10. up next: NEOCON PLAYHOUSE!

[thebigidea]

11. and that's done too... why? because I can, that's why.

[donhakman]

13. rrrr

[thebigidea]

14. Tom Ridge: human potato

[donhakman]

16. .

[thebigidea]

17. and if you act now, you'll get the Ronco DeConservatizer for only 19.95!

Slices potatoes wafer thin!
Sends you into fits!
Causes Ashcroft to wonder if the RAPTURE happened - without him!

[thebigidea]

20. Super Secret Torture Funland Playset not included.

Kids, get your parents permission before you call.

[thebigidea]

22. Pics...

[Kool Kitty]

23. This is terrific, as usual,

but I think you better watch out for soaring eagles and such, you know?

[thebigidea]

24. let the mighttttttttttttttttttttty eaagle sooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar...

http://www.terminalproduct.com/ashsoar.mp3

I think the NEOCON PLAYHOUSE one is better, but apparently the title wasn't sexy enough.

[Kool Kitty]

25. Well, I like it,

but I'm your fan, you know? So I may not be the best test of an idea. Speaking of idea, how did you come up with your name? Is it a homage to my favorite Stooge, Moe?

[thebigidea]

26. yeah, from every cop and villain in every stooge short EVER

For months I watched the Ari Fleischer/Rumsfeld press conferences followed by Stooge shorts on AMC - the perfect antidote. Cleanses the sinuses.

I was horrified when some guy named "Donnie Deutsch" or something got a show on CNBC called that. I think its been cancelled since.

[Kool Kitty]

27. Oh, yeah, remember that?

It was cancelled. The Stooge shorts certainly make more sense than Rummy or Ari (although I do miss him, Scottie is singularly unwatchable).
On edit: And speaking of Stooge shorts, they are going to be colorized and re-released on DVD. Not a good idea (the colorization part, not the DVD part. I'm glad for the DVDs, my tapes are practically worn out.)

[thebigidea]

28. Who would ever thought a Press Sec could be found...

... that would make Fleischer seem downright charismatic.

http://www.terminalproduct.com/arilookback.mp3

Well, maybe "charismatic" isn't quite the right word.

[Kool Kitty]

29. At least Ari showed an emotion every now and then.

Scott just repeats the same talking points over and over and over in the same boring monotone boring monotone boring monotone

[thebigidea]

30. and who could forget his classic "watch what you do, watch what you say"

I can't imagine McMonotone summoning up the energy to be intimidating.

[Kool Kitty]

31. No, me either.

And his brother, Markie Medicaid, is just as unexciting. (Or is it Markie Medicare?)

[thebigidea]

32. then there's the ironically conspiracy theory-drenched dad...

family gatherings must be a real blast.

BARR: "LBJ is still alive... his brain is operating out of a jar in Argentina."

SCOTT: "The American People know that this is a President focused on security for all Central and South American peoples, provided they cooperate in the War on Terror. No further questions."

BARR: "Confound it, you've been at my medicines again, haven't you?"

MEDICLELLAN: "I'm afraid I'm doing this for your own good, Dad."

Would make for an immedeately-cancelled sitcom.

[Kool Kitty]

33. Probably would be cancelled,

but their Christmas show would be a hoot.

[thebigidea]

34. muahhahah...

SCOTT: "Gasp! Who are you?"

MYSTERIOUS FIGURE: "The Ghost of Press Conferences Past."

SCOTT: "Ari, is that you? I see your nose is still stuffed up."

MYSTERIOUS FIGURE: "Its my sinuses. Anyway, the American People understand that the President will be presenting you with a series of possible scenarios concerning your future. Next question, Helen."

HELEN THOMAS: "Ari, why are you haunting Scott McClellan?"

MYSTERIOUS FIGURE: "The ratings are doing very poorly, Helen. This is a President that understands the need for a sympathetic weekly sitcom featuring his Press Secretary."

SCOTT: "We'll be right back after these messages from my doublechin."

[Kool Kitty]

35. Dammit, you are genius!

Thanks for the best laugh of the day!

[thebigidea]

36. if by genius you mean unemployable goofball, then thanks!

otherwise, thanks for the nifty idear... now to figure out a way to depict a bore like Scott. Cardboard cutout, maybe.

[Kool Kitty]

37. That's exactly what I meant!

(Not..) Well, if you can't find a cardboard cutout, I'm sure I can save a few cat hairballs for you. (With five cats, it's a daily ritual.) Let me know. Unless, of course, you think the hairballs just might have TOO much charisma.

[thebigidea]

38. Scott is more at the "used cat litter" level of charisma. The clumpy bits.

[Kool Kitty]

39. Hey, I have loads of them, too.

My cats are always available to aid the arts community.

[nolabels]

40. Artists at work, from a undisclosed location

[Kool Kitty]

41. Geez, I even have one that looks just like that.

(The pretty orange tabby, that is.) That's great. :)

[nolabels]

43. The perils of outdoor living

We have the great world beyond the front door for our cat box. Our orange tabby came up missing because of it. Mostly we have found our cats like to spend more time outside than inside anyway.

But our orange tabby was a real traveler so one time he left and just never showed up again :-(. The new black one(named buddy) we have now, is better in ways. He wondered in just like all the rest but he is nothing like the other two wild ones that hang around now, he is much more well behaved. Buddy was a welcome stranger after Larry left for parts unknown :-)

[thebigidea]

46. from Orange Alert to Orange Tabby

And yes, I had an Orange Tabby too. But he got sick, alas. These days I just have a ridiculous Siamese/Himalayan that is unbelievably loud.

[Swamp Rat]

42. Great art!

You guys have been entertaining me for a long time with such great political art! Every time a Freeper sends me one of those disgusting RW emails, I am compelled to photoshop the Hell out of it and send it back, en masse.

I just joined DU today, and I haven't figured out how to upload my art work. I checked the FAQ, but there was no suggestions as to where or how I could find a free upload site. Though I'm a musician, I'm starting to do more visual work lately because I am SOOO FUCKING PISSED at Bush&Co. and all their supporters - I cannot help myself but respond with ascerbic and satirical renditions of their beloved fascist leaders.

[thebigidea]

44. heh, that sounds familiar...

[Swamp Rat]

45. Hi thebigidea

How do you upload your JPGs? The DU FAQ didn't list upload sites and I haven't the time to design my own website (too busy learning Final Cut Pro and going to grad school, not to mention playing music).

This butthole sent me a a shitty joke about "Kerry's new NAVY" with a JPG that I totally twisted... the one GOOD thing is these idiots tend to bulk email, so I can send my response to dozens of Freepers and RW nutjobs. Ha ha ha! What maroons!

By the way, I like your website.
