At last! . . . Breitbart discusses an apology. . . . Please come CAPTION!!!!!
Edited on Sun Jul-25-10 10:31 AM by skip fox


Andrew Breitbart, driven from the edenic self into the wilderness of ideological identity, is saying, "On the contrary, Sean, I think she owes an apology to me!!!. . . . After all, I started this affair, . . . I put a lot of effort into it, . . . and guess what? . . . I'm the one who comes off the bad guy!!! . . . And she looks like Little Miss Goody Two-Shoes! . . . Sounds drastically unfair. . . . But I'd accept her apology anyway. . . . You know why, Sean? . . . Just to let her see a real class act in operation!"

4. CAPTIONing at DU has traditionally been a creative art. But some of us like to think
Edited on Sun Jul-25-10 10:35 AM by skip fox
that it reveals a deeper truth (while making its joke): providing us with what the character in question would have said had he or she been a tad less self-conscious, guarded, perceptive, etc. That is, such CAPTIONing (as a verb) might reveal a more essential self in those ethical midgets we choose to CAPTION. But the joke is, in comedy, always primary. So sometimes we just go for a cheap joke. (But you're right, captions at DU have traditionally been creative unless otherwise indicated.)

5. Nope. It's from that other satire source: Fock Snus.

7. I hear that at least two of the four horsemen will be waving banners with this picture on them
when they come to begin the storms.

16. That's a much better photo
I remember seeing it in the vet thread on the VN Cross of Gallantry--very nice!

I have a couple of jungle shirts, and will sometimes wear one to one of our local vet events when others are wearing them. No shadow box yet, but that's probably something I should do.

:patriot:

8. "An Apology? Hell, I'll say anything, for a price. Why not apologize?
It isn't as if I mean it, and this thing might end up cutting into my profits."

11. Fuck him and his apology.
Apologies are things you demand from children to teach them a lesson. An apology from a grown-up ain't worth the paper it's written on.

12. "I'm an ENTERTAINER!"
That seems to be the GOP pundit blanket "apology" right there.

15. Sometimes I get lucky. Or, more likely, sometimes these yahoos (human-like figures
who hang out in trees and throw feces down on other creatures) are just so comically repulsive that the CAPTION almost writes itself. It's like channeling drivel with an edge, a babbling idiot with a hardon, miscreant desire with mucus discharge, etc.

19. DU, the secret of getting to heaven is CAPTIONing. . . . No time like the present to pad your way.

20. I'm sorry if any weenies were actually offended by what happened...
the age-old non-apology combined with 3rd person separation from any actual involvement, never mind creation, of events involved...
