Am I at the right board?
Is this the Humor & Urban Legends board?

Oh! I get it. All that political bullsh!t is just one big joke. ;^)

MAY I GIVE YOU ALL SOME FREE POLITICAL ADVICE.

You Republicans will not change the minds of Democrates and you Democrates will not change the minds of Republicans. SOOOOOOOO!

All that political bullsh!t is just one big joke. ;^)

Yes it is, for one I'm having fun. Apologies if I'm boring anyone.
Usually I abstain from the political claptrap, but for once, what the h3ll.

All it's done is expand the Ignored White space... And it's killing the HURL Board

Am I at the right board?

Yes you are - and no, THEY are not!

Seems to me that the vast majority of political posts on HURL are by right-wingers. But I understand why they would post here.

They would be eaten alive on PA, and as far as RECF goes, there are some places even far right-wingers won't go. ;o) (that 's my joke)

Just goes to show....right wingers ALWAYS want to ruin everyone else's fun.

Maybe that is why they are right wingers?

Mitt Romney Yo Momma joke:

Yo Momma so dumb she spent $77,000 on a horse to play water polo!

A more than passingly strange post, it409. Last time I checked...

hu·mor
[hyoo-mer or, often, yoo-] Show IPA
noun
1. a comic, absurd, or incongruous quality causing amusement: the humor of a situation.
2. the faculty of perceiving what is amusing or comical: He is completely without humor (liberals).
3. an instance of being or attempting to be comical or amusing; something humorous: The humor in his joke eluded the audience.
4. the faculty of expressing the amusing or comical: The author's humor came across better in the book than in the movie.
5. comical writing or talk in general; comical books, skits, plays, etc.

Notice that there is no qualifier as to the source and, let's face it, there are some pretty humorous things going on in the political world.

Just sayin'.

Sometimes political jokes are funny.

"Senator Ted Kennedy said that Iraq was President Bush's 'Vietnam.' When he heard about it, President Bush said, 'That's not true; I went to Iraq."' —Conan O'Brien

"You know what today was? The official opening of the Clinton library in Little Rock, Arkansas. You probably saw it on the news. Poured -- nothing but rain, which is kind of ironic because a lot of dresses got ruined." --Jay Leno

HOw can you tell if someone you just met owns a BMW

If he didn't bring it up in the first 2 min, then he dosn't own one.

But there are far many more lurkers here than posters, and some of their minds might be changed.

Good point.

Also, notice that although political humor does often get posted it's the responses to those posts that turn humor into politics. For some reason, specific posters don't want to just move on - they need to comment on the politics that they don't agree with within the humor. Virtually all the responses are by liberals and primarily posters who do not contribute humor, at all.

I'll be back after the election.

You Republicans will not change the minds of Democrates and you Democrates will not change the minds of Republicans.

I know many people that voted for McCain in 2008. None of them are voting for Obama this time.

I know several people who voted for Obama in 2008. None of them are voting for Obama this time.

I appears this phenomenon is pretty wide spread.

Don't forget about the "silent majority"--those who vote but never publicly express their opinion through posting, polls, etc. The silent majority swept Richard Nixon, Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg into office.

I strongly disagree with the above statement.

For example, a "joke" posted by you recently (What's for dinner?)

http://boards.fool.com/whats-for-dinner-30309657.aspx

He noticed with alarm that a liberal politician's brain sells for $375.00 a pound.

It would have simply killed you to leave this joke in the original form that it's always been posted in (we can all agree this isn't the first time we've seen this, right?), where it's simply a politician.

Nope, we HAD to leave in the "liberal." Or put it in.

So no, it's not just the responses.

Actually, you just proved my point. Also, humor is always subject to revision. Besides, I stipulated that some posts are political. How about this - please assume that all my posts are political, just move along down the list - I'll never know that you are ignoring my posts and I'll care even less.

Back to the thread subject....

Top 5 signs you are anal-retentive

1. You keep large redundant amounts of all your sundries such as laundry detergent so that you never risk running out.
2. You don’t just sort the money in your wallet by $1, $5, $10, or $20, but also sort the bills by wear-and-tear so that you get rid of the bills in the worst shape first.
3. You look up anal-retentive to see whether it needs a hyphen.
4. You don’t just keep a grocery list, you micro-optimize order of the items on the grocery list so that you only make one pass through the grocery store.
5. After a power outage or when Daylight Savings Time starts or ends, you feel the need to set all your clocks to the same minute and second.
6. It really irritates you when someone says a list has 5 items and you count six.

WTF is a "Democrate"?
