Oh, Yeah?

Well, anyway, you're just trying to change the subject because The Surge worked.

And of course, you won't read that in the mainstream media neither!

Besides, that penguin is pinker than the inside of a Pepto-Bismol bottle!

I don't read the news I prefer to remain uninformed

That's why I'm here @ Salon.

The Surge Worked?

Why didn't somebody tell me? This is great news! The surge worked! Nothing left for our troops to do, because the surge worked. We can bring everyone home now, and save billions of dollars every month!

This is good news indeed.

Huh?

Little Moron

The surge worked? You believe the media talking points? If the "surge", another talking point, worked what did it accomplish? The penguin is right, and I keep saying the same back at the endless talking heads on the boob tube, but it doesn't seem to be doing any good.

It's called "Snark" folks...

You can look it up on Google. You can generally identify it by the presence of cliched or hackneyed phrases which have been dragged up again and used in the same space.

For excellent examples, I suggest looking at the works of The Major.

Keep on truckin', Little Brother.

Anonymous. The surge worked? Great.

okay- So Now Bring the troops home immediately. Just imagine all the bottles of Pesto Bismol General Petraeus could buy with the saved trillions.

Each returning soldier could drink a six-pack of Fanta Orange Soda Pop with the Pope. The entire DOD can celebrate with a 18-pack each night of Pink Peepers. Just imagine the fun of guzzling eighteen dead-rot-red-meat, Pepita Bison's, right Little Brother?

The inner Beltways Politicos Banditry's Main Stream Pro-War Drunks Thugs, can feast in DC restaurants and vomit in public. The world would be a better disgrace. huh.

The money the government would save would permit each war lover to ponder deeply-- Then pour some 7- Up on the keyboards at their Pentagonal, White House, State Department, and paid troll etc., wherever-USA, and NSA's can barf at the gummiest, and most disgusting, pink colored walled, inner cubicle spy desk.

Great idea.

No one told me.

Further Elaboration: The Dems poll higher because they are not Bush.

Bush is the most widely despised 'president' in US history. You might not be able to run John Kerry against him, but Mickey Mouse would probably win.

Unfortunately for the Dems, Bush is not running again, so this is an awfully weak basis for them to run their presidential campaign on - especially since the Democratic party is still functioning as Bush's most critical prop of political support.
