Bonfire of the Bailout Vanities (Ready to scream alert!)
Lots of frustrated Freepers ^ | 9/30/08 | Me

Posted on 09/30/2008 11:30:13 AM PDT by Constitution Day

I think I speak for more than a few here when I say:

I think I'm going to scream if I see another vanity thread on the bailout bill!

Crap. I just saw one.

AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I feel better now. Thank you.

When was the last time you had an oral examination on your hand?

I second that...especially since quite a few have been whining defeatist attitudes.
Geesh...enough already.

May I scream back if I see another vanity complaining about too many vanities?

DITTO AND AMEN!!!!!!!!! I’ve been trying to get news on this site and the reactions to it from the AMAZING minds of the FReepers here but the vanities for the past few days have made it almost impossible to get information!

This is beyond irritating. It's getting INSANE.

Over the past couple of weeks, we have been beseiged by FReepers -- some with old sign-up-dates! -- who, when they're not posting vanities, are posting links to videos with intelligent commentary like: WATCH THIS YOU HAVE TO SEE IT OMG!

People, this isn't Vanity Central, nor is it a subsidiary of YouTube.

Well excuse me!

It just so happens that my opinion on this is evolving, seeing as I had/have such a loose "grasp" on the topic as it stands.

Therefore, everytime a new idea passes through my head, or I catch a snippet of conversation on the radio or at the water cooler, I run right back to my desk and furiously type away at another vanity to share with everyone.

It's not like I'm posting a dozen of them a day. Yesterday it was 18.

I'm going to dig up all my recent vanities and ping you to them so you can apologize to me (on most of them, you'll be the first response.)

There are people who are surrounded by bigots
and know it is wrong, but are afraid to be vocal against it.
These people are going to pull the lever for Obama
and they are not being polled.

I never volunteer when I have the option of billing a patient, even for minor consultations.

That'll be $45.
