he's a little nervous, suprise.....and he's hoping this man will agree to be his surgeon. he deserves a good one, and i know you guys move mountains with your vibes, so let's get to it.

andy is still looking at some very risky surgery, and a couple courses of chemo. so please keep a good thought for him. and if you can help:

https://www.paypal.com /

His Paypal account name is Andy_Stephenson@comcast.net

or:

Andy Stephenson
P.O. Box 25624
Seattle, WA 98165-1124

who don't know and love andy as we do, i'll let will pitt explain:

"If you have followed the push for election reform over the last two years, you have probably heard the name Andy Stephenson. Andy, who worked for a long time with the folks over at BlackBoxVoting.org, has been at the forefront of the fight to make sure that every vote is counted, every vote counts, and that our elections do not become a privatized exercise in electronic touch-screen theft....
snip.......

For the last several weeks, Andy has been suffering through a bout of Hepatitis. The word came down yesterday, however, that his situation is far more serious. "I apparently have a tumor growing around the bile duct where it passes through my pancreas," he wrote. "The tissue sample was consistent with malignancy; it could be benign but I am planning for the worst."

Andy has been out of work for several months; he gave pretty much his entire life to the cause of election reform, which doesn't pay, and is now unemployed, without health insurance and staring down the barrel of major surgery......"

5. I'm sorry



All this talk of Andy Stephenson is not helpful for anyone. We really need to just give this a rest.

I'm locking.

[SCALEMAN]

I think it's time for a 'check check'. It's a given that Scamdy reported on or about the 11th that JH had been paid. If that payment was made with the cahsiers (sic) checks then they would have cleared by now. Payment made on the 11th would have been deposited into JH's general deposit account on the 12th. That gives it 13th, 16th and 18th as 'working days' so by my estimate the checks should clear sometime after 10:00 PDT.

[Laurita]

I believe you're right. I can picture a DUFU book illustrated in the old Mad Magazine style.

[franksolich]

You know, sir, I re-read that post; there were so many of them yesterday I was suffering "information overload fatigue."

You may be right.

But I still insist that wherever Andy is, he is carefreely gallivanting around, nothing bothering him at all. Wherever he is.

[Krodg]

Yes, I called the bank but since my findings didn't agree with the "two impeccable sources", I was ignored.

[franksolich]

Don't feel badly--you may yet be vindicated.

[Krodg]

Don't feel badly--you may yet be vindicated.

I don't feel bad, I know what I was told.

[commonguymd]

do you have a link to your findings?

[Krodg]

I think it was March 28th...I'll start looking.

[MisterRepublican]

HERR SKINNER SPEAKS! LOCK! DELETE! BAN!

[Laurita]

They are so openminded over there /sarc off

Your tagline says it all, to them the ends justify the means. After everything is said and done, they'll say it was worth the scam just to call attention to the plight of REAL cancer patients.

[txradioguy]

Amazing how that works isn't it?

That as much as he's said on AndyScam in over a week.

[franksolich]

ANDY ALERT!

ANDY ALERT!

TIME RUNNING OUT FOR ANDY?

ANDY NOW MISSING FOR MORE THAN 24 HOURS!

DUMMIE REGISTRATIONS GOING UP-AND-DOWN LIKE A YO-YO AS NEW "MEMBERS" REGISTER, AND OLD MEMBERS GET TOMBSTONED!

MEMBER OF FREE REPUBLIC STILL JOINING DUMMIELAND! 426 PAYING MEMBERS (1,000 THE GOAL)!



By the way, I wish to submit the theory as Barnet illuminated us last night, circa 11:00 p.m. Nebraska time--it very well bears re-reading and contemplation:

"Where is Andy?

Who's got the posts on Andy's Hoboken weekend?

There was no "Dust Bunny Palace" there was no "Miss Waverly" putting Andy and Termite up while he awaited surgery.

There were no reports on DU that anyone had seen Andy, only breathless announcements of having talked to Andy on the phone.

In the midst of this disappearing act we get posts from "Joan Halpern" about a weekend in Hoboken when four of them supposedly leave Baltimore because Andy wants sue-ellen to meet Mary-Beth or Lindey Lou.

There were little tidbits like "we took the Path" and Joan had a massage in NYS, and the dinner was so great", and the Dummies felt warm all over to be "friends" with such a sophisticated bunch of world travellers and it was worth not getting little Jimmy's abcessed tooth fixed so Andy could "feel good about himself" because "he might not ever wake up from the operation."

At the end of the night Joan or Lulu or one of the fake names gazed at the backs of Andy and Termite as they drove away--- straight to the Newark International Airport where they may have split up Andy off to No-Extradition Island and Termite to Seattle to grab the donations in Andy's post office boxes and cash a few checks, then catch a jet, first class, naturally.

Or maybe one of Andy's buds did the check sweep. The one who had bought the checks to John Hopkins.

There were bells and whistles and colored lights and insane posses ransacking hospital mailrooms and kindly ladies with reassuringly WASPY names opening their homes, and dropping notes to DU gushing about those brave little rascals, Andy and Termite.

And nobody saw Andy. And Skinner and Pitt stayed away from Baltimore because they weren't sure what they would find, or would not find. And they did not have the moral courage to face it.

And all the DUers lived in this excitement, this drama of the brave hero fighting for them, Them, and for all that time the Dummies empty, boring, hate-filled lives were filled with cyberspace hugs, kisses, dust bunnies, triumphs, despair, worry, and a wild emotional rush.

Where's Andy? Ask Pitt, or Skinner, or Miss Waverly, whose existence is no less fictitious than theirs. {Fred: this one, I disagree with, sir; there are people on this thread who have met "William Pitt" and the Grand DUmmie "Skinner" in real life--they DO exist.}

Over 123 websites have been making appeals since January 2, 2005, to save Andy. $30,000 was raised in a matter of days on DU.

Andy is not worried about the IRS or the FBI; down the road he will pop up on DU confiding that he has been researching the 2004 election while staying at John Kerry's family home in Brittany and discussing with Jacques Chirac ways to end the war in Iraq.

It was the filthy fascist government that hounded him out of the country; Karl Rove knew Andy had the goods on Bush.

"My fate was sealed. The cancer was killing me. Your good vibes and all that karma crap healed my cancer and that terrified Rove. That power you have, you little people, you little, helpless, frightened, poor people, is real. It killed my cancer and now I need those good vibes again to get Kerry in the White House by Christmas."

"Send international money orders made out in euros. And thanks, thanks all you little people. And you two guys, Skinner and Pitt. When do you get out? Well, hey, good vibes to you. Termite's playing with the dog so I have to go check on him. Pix on the way. Politicize my flight!"

And the cripple in Kentucky will sell her wheelchair and the rest of little Jimmies teeth will rot in his head, and a tsunami of money will roll across the ocean to Andy. "He's fighting for us."

[volvox]

Skinner just locked the thread mentioned post 867 so he is monitoring this although this is the first I've noticed him in a while. He apologizes for locking the thread but says all this talking about Undie won't do him any good.

[gardencatz]

Just happened to have the timeline open. LOL: Mar-23-05 Andy posts his biopsy has been done. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3325922 Cindie

[commonguymd]

nevermind i found it. you said the bank name should be on the check copy.

[commonguymd]

won't do HIM any good?

[PJ-Comix]

Damn! I have to slit out of here soon. I was sort of hoping Pied Piper Pitt had posted his apology by now. Anyway, if anybody here sees his apology, please post it (along with link) in this thread.

[Laurita]

He looks so sick, poor thing.
