I gotta learn how to do the animated stuff!

So "ana" is probably real.

So she is handicapped, limited education but not stupid; not even sure she and other DUers are ignorant.

I think they are achingly lonely, bored, deracinated. They're ripe for the plucking by the world's Andys.

Some of us are saying how "brilliant" Andy is for planning this, but it doesn't take a high intelligence to shear sheep, it takes low cunning.

In Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer" he writes, "The burning conviction that we have a holy duty toward others is often a way of attaching our drowning selves to a passing raft.

What looks like giving a hand is often a holding on for dear life. Take away our holy duties and you leave our lives puny and meaningless."

Andy is their passing raft, but now he will shake them off;
whether they are able to grab on to another passing raft, or whether they drown, doesn't worry Andy.

The "cookie jar" wasn't empty for Andy; he grabbed money from Medicaid, while fleecing the lame, the halt, and the morally blind. Isn't there a newspaper in Seattle that would be interested in this?

Had I known asking the questions I asked would unleash this firestorm that seems destined to destroy people's lives I would have kept quiet.I'm sorry that I caused this.

skooooo (1000+ posts) Tue May-17-05 05:43 PM Response to Original message 1. For those of us just stepping in......what's this about? link?

dogday (327 posts) Tue May-17-05 05:44 PMResponse to Reply #1 2. I will second that, give us a hint, can't read all posts.

belladonna (1000+ posts) Tue May-17-05 05:46 PM Response to Original message 3. I really see no need for you to apologize for anything.

And I, for one, won't be apologizing for a damn thing I said today.

Every bit of this could be cleared up by a certain someone signing ONE release, or at the very least, obtaining his own medical records and providing verification to a certain journalist and administrator.

cat_girl25 (1000+ posts) Tue May-17-05 05:46 PM Response to Original message 4. Don't beat yourself up.

You didn't cause the firestorm

trumad (1000+ posts) Tue May-17-05 05:53 PM Response to Original message 7. Don't be sorry.

You handled it much better than I ever would have. let's me just say this right now.... my hope is that all this is cleared up and it has a happy ending... If it doesn't have a happy ending IE: things aren't what they appear to be... I will devote 100 percent of my time to find out how it happened.

To the tune of "Mandy" as recorded by Barry Manilow:

"Scamdy"

Oh Scamdy
Well you said you were sick but were faking
But we gave anyway
Oh Scamdy
Just imagine the dough that you're making

(That's all I got)

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Ain't much, I know...;)

[halieus]

You took my disability pay...

Oh Scamdy...

[franksolich]

I'm trying to find you a good one.

How about a little bit outdated one, but relevant, and few replies?

[Purrcival]

" The inability to think for themselves and learn from past mistakes is absolutely breathtaking. Their intellectual level is roughly that of a teen-ager and less."

It's a naivete that wants to belieeeeeeeve that anyone who expresses left-wing views MUST be a "good guy" and MUST be "honest" -- after all, how could it be any other way?

NO wisdom, NO discernment, NO discretion, NO common sense.

[Purrcival]

OK, thanks for clearing that up. But isn't there a waiver form?

[PJ-Comix]

WHEW! Finally caught up now on THIS thread. However, I need to catch up on about a hundred posts of the previous thread I missed while putting this up and then reading it.

[gidget7]

I am looking

[halieus]

NO wisdom, NO discernment, NO discretion, NO common sense.

And this is bound to make them angrier at us. My bet: within 3 wks DUers transform Undie into a Rove plant.

[franksolich]

I just may use that for the ANDY ALERT!s.

[SSgtRast]

 Isn't there a newspaper in Seattle that would be interested in this?

 

The Seattle Times or the Seattle Post-Intelligencer?  Naw...  they're the Newsweeks of the Pacific Northwest.  They'll protect DUmmies at all costs, just like they're protecting our acting governor GreGORE.

suddenly being treated as tho he's been caught sneaking out of town with the cash he bilked out of the widows and orphans, twirling his Snidely Whiplash moustache.

I thought it would be interesting to reread Skinner's comments of one week ago today. For his sake, I hope he's got a good reason for not putting an end to this.

[PJ-Comix]

LOL! I LOVE that new DUmmie FUndraising image!!!

[KJC1]

LOL!!!!!!!!

That is hilarious!

TO ALL DUmmies--
Life is hard. Life is harder when you're stupid.

Which one of you is Buckhead?

Total team effort. Tip of the cap all around.
