It looks like William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt is doing a lot of worrying that the scam perpetrated by Andy Stephenson is going to explode in his face. Pity Poor Pathetic Pied Piper Pitt (had to get in at least one allitertation) for he hasn’t slept since April as you can see in this Pitt authored DUmmie THREAD titled, “I could use a little help here.” Yeah, Pitt, you could actually use a LOT of help WHEN the AndyScam blows up in such a way that even the incredibly gullible DUmmies realize that Andy Stephenson has been scamming them just as cold-bloodedly as his former mentor, Bev Harris. A constant theme right now in DUmmieland is that they just KNOW that Andy is on the up and up BECAUSE Pied Piper Pitt told them so. I hate to tell you this DUmmies but Pied Piper Pitt has ALSO been having doubts about the DUmmies as have been documented in the Free Republic discussion forum of the previous DUFU edition titled, “’About the Andy Stephenson situation’---Skinner.” Oh, and speaking of Skinner, haven’t the DUmmies noticed that he has been MIA since issuing his doubts about Stephenson a few days ago? Skinner is less than an hour from Baltimore but he has yet to make the short trip over there to verify Andy’s fraudulent story. It is “The Silence of the Scams.” So let us now join Pied Piper Pitt in his state of complete sleeplessness. Somehow I think Pitt will be greeting the sun for many, many mornings to come. As usual the insomniac rantings of Pitt and his DUmmie followers are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who enjoyed a refreshing night of deep sleep, is in the [brackets]:
I could use a little help here
[You sure do, Pied Piper Pitt, especially after the DUmmies form a lynch mob to go after you when even those dopes realize FOR SURE that they have been scammed by Andy Stephenson, thanks in large part to you vouching for Andy’s honesty.]
I haven't been able to sleep for about two weeks. I start to drop off, and maybe actually sleep for about 20 minutes, before popping awake. Last night, for about the fifteenth day in a row, I saw the sun come up against my will. This has started to affect my stomach, which makes sleeping harder. I have tried exercise to wear myself out, and have managed to badly strain a muscle in my back.
[Your back will hurt even more after the DUmmies start angrily beating on it while cursing you for enabling the AndyScam.]
So, to recap: No sleep since April, rotten stomach, torn up back. I've reached that insomnia point where I am psyching myself out; I got no sleep the night before last, spent yesterday writing a PDA action alert and a 30-minute speech transcript, drove two hours to do the speech, gave the speech, did a three-hour Q&A, talked to people for another hour, drove two more hours to get home, and by the time I got back here I was literally quivering with exhaustion.
[So, to recap: You are worried sick about what will happen to you after Andy Stephenson is proven to be a complete FRAUD even to the satisfaction of the incredibly gullible DUmmie suckers.]
But I laid awake until 6:37am (I remember looking at the clock), popped awake an 8, 9, 10 before finally giving up and getting up at 11. I can barely see straight right now, my stomach feels like it has snakes in it, my back is killing me so I can't exercise...and I know for a stone fact that I won't be able to sleep again. Tried a nap an hour or so ago. Came thiiiiiiiis close to dropping of and then popped awake.
[3:11 AM: “Worried sick about the backlash when Andy’s scam is finally proven.”
3:12 AM: “Will they toss me out of Dummieland?”
3:13 AM: “Will my speaking engagements be cancelled?”
3:14 AM: “Maybe I could change my identity.”
3:15 AM: “DAMN YOU TO HELL, Andy, for suckering me into being your lousy cheerleader!!!”
3:16 AM: “Is it 3:17 AM yet?”]
Any ideas? I've already heard about taking mela-whatever, but that stuff gave my mother splitting headaches when she tried it. I have drastically cut back on caffiene. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I've reached that violently, violently, violently frustrated stage of insomnia where sleep is a guaranteed impossibility, and if a routine like yesterday's (while on no sleep) can't get it done, I am at a total loss.
[Confession is good for the soul. And now let us read the hilarious advice on insomnia cures from your fellow DUmmies, Pitt.]
scotch. start about 3pm. you'll be out by 9
[Thunderbird. Start about 3 PM. You’ll be homeless by 9.]
Tried it. I managed to make myself unconscious, but that isn't sleep. Woke up worse off the next day. Tried it again a few days later, and all that happened was I was drunk and wide awake.
[Pied Piper Pitt---The wide awake drunk. That’s what happens when you fall such obvious scams that Andy perpetrates.]
sex?
[Unfortunately Andy can no longer be located.]
Move the clock...for one thing. Looking at that thing with the blinking : all night can be horrifying.
[If Pitt moves his clock all it will mean is that he will have to keep walking over to it every 5 minutes to check to see if he got at least a half hour of sleep.]
yes, sex works remember, only in fundie land is a monogamous partner of the opposite gender who desires to become pregnant is a requirement for "sex."
[Only in DUmmieland does it not matter what gender or species your sex partner is.]
Will: see a doctor. Insomnia is a bitch, although I only get it maybe once or twice a month.
[Pitt needs to see a shrink doctor. See Pitt lying on the shrink’s couch? Let us see what the shrink is writing on his note pad: “Just plain NUTS!!!”]
This sounds like a case for sleeping pills though I ordinarily wouldn't recommend them.
[NOT a good idea. Pitt would be tempted to swallow the whole bottle after the AndyScam blows up in DUmmieland.]
Benadryl. But don't take it every night, as you can become addicted (as per my physician husband).
[Methinks Pitt would become addicted the first night after desperately popping pill after pill of those Benny’s.]
Eat lots of turkey! Turkey has natural sleep inducers in it.
[And if that doesn’t work, have someone take a frozen turkey and slam it on Pitt’s head to knock him out.]
My problem is that I have bad physical reactions to anti-histamine stuff. I had raging bad allergies as a kid, and was always loaded up on the stuff. After a few years it just messed me up, and still does whenever I touch it.
[I can sympathize, Pitt. I’m allergic to wool so I’ve had to cross sheep off my date list. Such are the sacrifices I’ve had to make.]
Tonight I will do turkey, warm milk and the tub
[You’re going to do turkey in a tub filled with warm milk, Pitt? You really ARE kinky!]
Yes - I like Tylenol PM myself.
[I once tried to commit suicide by taking a cyanide pill. Unfortunately some sick bastard tampered with the cyanide pill bottle and I took a Tylenol that he inserted instead. I’m suing!!!]
empty your mind, grasshopper...
[…be just like your fellow DUmmies, cricket…]
I don't really know any tricks to get to sleep but one thing I discovered is that it makes no sense to just lay there willing yourself to do it - the more you try, the less likely it is that it will happen. So when I couldn't sleep, I'd get up. I'd tidy the house, I'd do laundry, I'd go for a walk, I'd read, I'd write, I'd work. Eventually, I'd get very, very tired and I'd lay down again. If I didn't get to sleep within a reasonable time, I'd get up again.
[Good idea… Hey Pitt! My pad needs cleaning and after that you can do my laundry.]
stop doing crystal meth that's what I had to do.
[speed_addiction…is that you?]
The back thing is my own fault. I've been beating the shit out of myself on my weight bench, way overdoing it to try and get sleepy. A muscle in my shoulderblade area finally got tired of it and told me to f*ck myself.
[And after the AndyScam scandal explodes, Pitt, your fellow DUmmies will be telling you the same thing as your shoulderblade muscle told you.]
Definitely see a doctor...there might be a physiological reason you're having trouble sleeping.
[Pitt’s problem is ALL mental.]
Will, I'm not a doctor, but I am going to go ahead and give you medical advice anyway. Your body is telling you to take a break.
[Yes, good advice. Take a break, Pitt, on a Costa Rica getaway with Andy Stephenson. Don’t worry about expenses. Andy has $50,000 to blow.]
Otherwise, until you see an internist, a bit of turkey, milk and a warm bath. Then find something boring, yet educational, to read.
[Maybe not educational but Pitt’s own writings should do the trick.]
A friend of mine who went through a divorce said she would drop her jaw down as you would right before you fall asleep and then force herself to COUNT SHEEP. It actually worked for her.
[It won’t work for me. I told you before that I’m allergic to wool.]
One word solution... PAMPER!
[One word solution… PAMPERS!]
White noise (I have a CD of very, very faint/distand thunderstorms and rain, and it's coma-inducing).
[White noise (I have a CD of very, very faint Pitt speeches, and it’s coma-inducing).]
Breathe thru your eyes ... Bull Durham
[Breath thru your butt … Andy Stephenson.]
Watch some mindless TV.
[Keith Olbermann.]
Ambien is habit forming and every person is different. So telling someone to ignore legitimate and documented side effects and product warnings is not particularly sound advice, wouldn't you agree?
[WARNING: Side effects of Ambien may inlude nausea, diarrhea attacks, dizziness, urges to support left wing loony causes, and the total loss of any ability to discern obvious scams.]
dude...seriously...smoke up. If I need to be asleep, pot is my friend to a nice, happy, and deep sleep.
[“Puff the magic dragon down by the sea!”]
First of all, sleep is over-rated.
[Sleep? Who needs it!]
You need to start "shutting down" very gradually.
[After the DUmmies finally wake up to the AndyScam, they will be “shutting down” Pitt very rapidly.]
Try to figure out what caused this abnormal sleep cycle to begin in the first place and address that issue.
[I don’t believe that Pitt thinking about how he has become Andy Stephenson’s lead cheerleader in Dummieland is going to help him get any sleep.]
Go To An Acupuncturist ASAP.
[Perhaps the acupuncturist can anesthetize those brain cells containing all memories about Andy.]
want something natural? try acupuncture- & I know where to get it cheap in the south end
[I don’t know about Pitt but Andy certainly would love to be acupunctured in the south end.]
You really should go to a doctor for a sleep evaluation. This may include keeping a diary for a week or so…
[May 13: “WHAT? WHAT? WHAT will I do when the DUmmies rise up against me when the AndyScam breaks?
May 15: “Need to leave the country. PRONTO!”
May 16: “Quick flight down to Costa Rica.”
May 20: “Slight gender preference modification but the honeymoon with Andy is just dreamy!”]
Cancel your appointments. Don't listen to TV or radio. Turn off your cell phone. Rent some funny movies.
[Flim Flam Man. The Sting.]
ping
I wonder how many of those 21,00 views of this thread are DUmmies desperately trying to find out info on how much they got fleeced in AndyScam that they are being denied at the DUmp.
(waves at DUmmie lurkers with their noses pressed to the window)
21,00 = 21,000
You know, sir, I am not the brightest bulb in the world, but really, this is disheartening.
If the DUmmies had been reading the DUmmie FUnnies from the beginning, they would have had it all figured out by now--it is not Bev Harris, it is not DailyKos, it is not that other esteemed conservative web-site, that has broken with all of these scandalous revelations.
It has been us, we, here on Free Republic.
The DUmmies must think Free Republic is small potatoes, not paying it much attention (although the statistics show that Free Republic is a colossus and DUmmieland a speck of dust, when it comes to money raised, registered users, and "audience").
The DUmmie should give credit where credit is due.
Yes they need to give FR props.
IMHO...I think what's left of the Hive at the DUmp DOES have it figured out.
But because they have either invested time...money or both at the DUmp and don't want to lose that investment...they are remaining silent for fear of being T/S'd like those who did dare to question what's going on.
Free speech has been silenced at the DUmp for fear of a large piece of cyber granite being hurled their way.
Aw, well, since you put it like that. I couldn't be more satisfied if you'd been posting here since, say, October. Or even earlier.
Where is
I thought so. there are some good things about andy and the questionable things he has done prior to this - plenty beyond the bev thing. It really pertains to history of his behaviour and how even other democrats are questioning it...
Where is = Where is my credit card?
One wonders about this "he wasn't not serious" written by the DUmmie "Miss Waverly," who has a thing about using criminal class masculine vocabulary.
In one of his up-dates to the DU faithful, didn't Andy say that "a Miss Waverly, she works in the hospital" was putting them up at her house, while they waited to hear about the surgery?
There is no record of a "Miss Waverly" working at Johns Hopkins Hospital or its affiliates.
This was at the same time Skinner or Pitt said on DU that Andy was sitting in a hotel room waiting.
There is a Miss Waverly now posting on DU about the hospital business for Andy that she is handling, and to send more money, another seven thousand doillars for the surgeon (capitalist pig!) A thousand here, seventeen hundred there for "tests."
She claims to have been posting as "Miss Waverly" since last year. Perhaps Andy was using her screen name.
But in his original post about her it was as if she had met them during their first chaotic entry into JHH, and took pity on him and termite. "A Miss Waverly," not "the DUer whose screen name is Miss Waverly," is how he put it.
All these different stories with their contadictory facts are really just diversions. It's not difficult proving their lies and evasions. We shouldn't allow it to frustrate us, although liars are more wearisome than ticks.
The lies and changes of stories are to convince the DUers and donors on other sites to keep on donating to Andy's personal accounts. We shouldn't be distracted by them.
"Look over here; look Andy's in Baltimore, staying with kindly Miss Waverly at her "Dust Bunny Palace." Isn't that just precious?
Now he's up in Hoboken, no make that Washington. Wherever he is, it will be within easy reach of an international airport, with a first-class ticket (no reservation if seats available) and a scheduled departure before May 26.
Destination: France, probably. He'll be a cause celebre in Paris. The man who was forced to flee America because he was just about to prove Bush stole this election, too.
Please donate to Andy, le pauvre. He's just ten euros away from putting Kerry in the White House.
Since he hasn't slept since April, Pitt must be a physical AND mental wreck by now. Just after my last post last night, I hit the sack and in less than a minute I was in a DEEP SLUMBER until just a few minutes ago. Probably more sleep last night than Pitt has had in a month. I sure hope Pied Piper Pitt isn't driving a vehicle in his current exhaused state. He is most definitely a road hazard.
May 16 02:12 AM: Andy got acupunctured in his south end.
"Pitt must be a physical AND mental wreck by now."
He'd be that irregardless of how much sleep he does or doesn't get! LOL!
:D
One question. Does Verity Credit Union have THEIR NAME on their cashiers checks? I never heard of an issuing institution that didn't. Someone could simply call and ask that question.
Will add mine in tomorrow (actually today) as it's the wee hours of the AM here and I need to get some sleep. I'll also go back through the other DUFU and see what links I can gather from there, since I want to capture some of the pages anyway. Would have done it tonight but my prize rooster, Moose-O-Lini (what else would you call a Sicilian Buttercup?) got in a fight with my Polish, Bob Marley (usually quite laid back, hence the name) and now has a pretty serious eye infection. Got through that crisis (for now) and my one of my cats brought in a large frog, which I've been chasing around the house for the last hour and a half (not wanting to find frog guts all over my carpet since my mother's coming the day after tomorrow and I'm trying to keep things at least a little clean).
Cindie
The "hero" in our ongoing attempt to expose and neutralize the dangerous felonious Andy is none other than "Purrcival" here on Free Republic.
"Purrcival" saw this coming, before anyone else.
The original fund-raising thread was posted in DUmmieland circa 3:44 p.m. Nebraska time on April 28.
"Purrcival," catching it, sent me--fred, franksolich, the "William Pitiful" of Free Republic--an e-mail alerting of the thread at 3:53 p.m. Nebraska time on April 28.
The first posted comment about this scandal was made by myself, in the DUmmie FUnnies where the DUmmies were alleging the "right wing" is trying to shut down Err America, in a response to a query of a different nature by our own "Patriotgirl827," at 9:14 p.m. Nebraska time on April 28.
The DUmmies need to give credit where credit is due.....to Free Republic, the best political-discussion group on the internet--and we all need to give credit to the wonderful, lovely, "Purrcival," for having seen this train coming down the tracks before the rest of us.
p.s. Andie Stepenson will soon need legal help to fight off the fraud charges. He could receive help from a public defense lawyer but only the BEST legal defense is good enough for our Andy. Please PayPal in your contributions to Andy so he can afford the BEST lawyer out there. Andy Stephenson is only $10 away from beating the fraud rap.
That's what made me suspcious about the whole thing.
My parents use Quickbooks to write checks for their business. It wouldn't be too hard to pring up your own checks and scan them in and count them as "proof" of your legitimacy.
Except whoever printed that check out misspelled the name of the place recieving the checks.
