In case you have not yet gotten the word, the DUmmie FUnnies has a new daily feature called Herald Of The Republic. It features that chubby newsreader from the HBO series Rome reading off the news of each days events. Check out the latest Herald Of The Republic EDITION which was posted earlier today. Be warned that the language is very strong which is why these editions won't be posted on the FR. To ensure that you get the latest updates, I recommend you subscribe (free) to Bloglines.com and add it to your RSS feed.

No AM DUFU editions this week. All will be in the PM.

Let me know if you want on the DUmmie FUnnies PING List.

LOL! That graphic is hysterical!

"If we could all afford shrinks; real shrinks, ones like Sigmund Freud, and study the techniques of the great actors like Brando -- the world would be at peace."

ROFLOL!

It's more than four years into a war that the public overwhelmingly rejects, yet if you attend Iraq war protests or watch the coverage of them you'll notice that the vast majority of marchers are in the 40-60 age range.

"The Grating Generation."

if you attend Iraq war protests or watch the coverage of them you'll notice that the vast majority of marchers are in the 40-60 age range... There's a generation missing in action. The same generation which is currently doing the fighting and dying in Iraq

I know it's too much to ask a DUmmie to follow something to its logical conclusion...

If the current, Iraq-going generation isn't out there protesting, what does that say (other than they're lazy)?

[beans36]

We blew it in the '60s.

I think the DUmmie meant to say "We inhaled it in the '60s."

[beans36]

Even Spiritualism was popular in the latter half of the nineteenth century; I'm sure my great great great uncle Andrew would be quite at home with some of the things I do today.

If great great great Uncle Andrew is into watching a DUmmie eat pizza in mommy's basement, I suspect you are correct.

Die You Dirty Hippies!

[decal]

So the prediction made so long ago has come true: the Dippies now say,"Don't trust anyone UNDER 30!"

Lesse now - we were essentially out of Vietnam by 1973, so the youngest hippie/Yippie/draft-dodger type would have been born in 1955.

So there will be material for future DUFUs for another 30 years or so - hope you're up to the task...

If we could all afford shrinks; real shrinks, ones like Sigmund Freud

This DUmmie is suffering from shrinkage.

Mental shrinkage.

[Choose Ye This Day]

...the masters ... have the upper hand now ... sowed ... harness ... in chains ... dominated

Is this benburch?

[Choose Ye This Day]

a role model for me - whenever the word "work" was said, he would shudder

Why work when you can just redistribute someone else's wealth your way? It's nice when the DUmmies own up and honestly admit that they are lazy, shiftless, and want others to take care of them.

Everybody can afford Sigmund Freud!
Only $9.99!

"....the Age of Aquarius never came to be."

Respectfully disagree, sir.

The Age of Aquarius has been here a while, and is now withering away along with the old hippies.

By 1980, the "old order," the "establishment," against which the hippies "rebelled," had been overturned. I can think of nothing on the hippie agenda that was NOT either socially-acceptable or legal, or both, by 1980.

We've been in the Age of Aquarius for nearly thirty years, and as the mortality rate of the hippies reaches that of veterans of the second world war (circa 1,000 per day), the Age is going with them.

I always found it amusing, these people resentful of the "establishment" (as it had been circa 1950-1980), railed against it as if it still existed. The hippies will die off never understanding that they themselves had become the "establishment".....and that the rest of us, beginning in 1994, began overthrowing that decadent culture.

The job's not done yet--the elections of last November showed that--but the job's nearly done. The elections of November 2006 were the Gotterdammerung, the "twilight of the gods," of the hippies. From here on out for them, it's all downhill.

"It is BushWorld"

I read this and immediately heard the late, great James Brown singing the same thing to the tune of "It's a Man's World". The tone of that song fit's well with this DuFu.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

I blame it on Ipods.

Soma!

iPods are a government conspiracy to keep the masses distracted!

"If we could all afford shrinks; real shrinks, ones like Sigmund Freud, and study the techniques of the great actors like Brando -- the world would be at peace."

The depth of this admission is quite stunning! One of Freud's basis for psychoanalysis is that the marginally unstable maintain a false importance for their genitals; they obsess over gratification. But, they CAN be cured! Brando was a revered as an ^actor^. His ability to "become" a character is legendary. His entire public existence was that of perpetrating a lie; becoming what he needed to be to satisfy his need to be accepted or, at a minimum, acceptable.

[Eagle of Liberty]

Why haven't we done a very good job getting this generation involved in the war policy? Is it impossible to break through the apathy? Or have we dominated a leadership that should properly be turned over to the next generation?

Here's an idea. Why don't you get a clue and go after the Democrat Party who wishes to enslave all of us instead of teaming with them and emboldening the enemy. That might also end the war.

Isn't Stve Jobs a hippie? The irony is too much to take....
