That's it! "Congratulations". Not even a TNR mug? Did you not witness the recent heroic, backs-to-the-wall, Thermopylaelike defence of TNR by the TNR faithful against the right wing blogger hoard?!?! I think a mug is the very least DrDann deserves or we might just have to have a ballot on strike action.

I feel like I'm in a Moveon.org forum here. The marijunana smoke is making me sick... Heck, I could have won this easily with: "Uhhh. Heh heh. Bush=chimphitler mchalliburton nazi jew-lover psycho-killer kitten-puncher. " Crowley's an idiot.

1) This wasn't even Crowley's contest. 2) It is supposed to be funny. Your totally awesome satire of the left fell a bit short. 3) Remember the Hillary theme-song contest? No? (must be the marijunana {sic}- another awesome zinger, by the way) We made fun of her, too. 4) There is no 4! Another leftist mindfuck. 5) Chill out.

Ah, you must be a writer for Fox News's Half Hour News Hour. Well done by way. Stunning craftsmanship, just stunning.

I say we round up these anti-American, bin Laden-loving assholes and make them disappear along with Keith Olbermann, Rosie O'Donnell, Jon Stewart, Michael Moore, the Dixie Chicks, eco-terrorists, Whole Foods shoppers, and people who eat un-renamed fried potatoes.

DrDan. Can I brag that I knew you when? Hey everyone -- I knew him back when the NYU part of his screenname was actually relevant to his life. Glad that everyone knows you're funny!

Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment. I would also take a mug.

Well I wouldn't suggest rounding them up. Their utter uselessness makes me feel a whole lot more useful than otherwise. Hell, next to million-wrinkle Stewart and fat tub of lard "queen of nice," I'm feeling pretty darned good about my lot.

You're a professor at NYU? You must have taught one of those classes in which I slept through. (Gender Studies maybe? I only signed up cause I thought there would be hot chicks - I was much more innocent and stupid back then to know better...)

Exceedingly well-played, sir. Way to demolish the arguments of the left (though I would be loathe to put Stewart and Rosie in the same breath- excerpt they both hate America, am I right, people?).

I nominate boneill and adamvaught for the TNR Talkback Nation Award for URFOIA (Uncommon Restraint in the Face of Overwhelmingly Inane Antagonism). Anyway, congrats to Dan! And a vote of confidence for Michael C, for following through (on behalf of Ben W) and announcing a caption contest winner today.

Never was a professor. Did my residency there. And epicciuto, I wore my fraudulent Actors Equity t-shirt all day, with you fondly on my mind.

You really think you have liberals all figured out, don't you? If we're in academia, it must be some BS discipline like gender studies (no), that we'll be all up in arms at your daring for using the phrase "hot chicks" (no again). Your stereotype needs revising.

It's hard not to think that way when most of the stereotypes fit with almost 90% consistency. Alright, so some of you don't like jasmine-infused tofu...

Such as what? In a contest to make fun of Bush in an admittedly pithy manner we...make fun of Bush in a pithy manner? Read some of the other threads, dude. No hippies here? I know that it is cool and all to pretend that there are, because stereotypes are easier than thinking, but I would like you to point out one argument that is waek and meaningless. I know you will say "look at all the Bush haters"- but there is a reason for that. He is a hideously bad and failed President who has embarassed this great country.
