WOO! HOO! You can now receive the new DUmmie FUnnies editions as soon as they are published right on your deskstop. Let me now use a "frightening" word: Podcasting. Yes, you can receive not only audio files right to your desktop but ANY type of Web text as well, including Blogs and other Website info.

To get the DUmmie FUnnies right to your desktop (and TONS of other stuff that you want), simply follow these EASY steps:

1. Go to http://www.rssreader.com/ and click the DOWNLOAD button. The download only takes a few seconds and then just follow the EASY instructions to install the RSS Reader on your desktop.

2. To subscribe to the DUmmie FUnnies simply right click the following link and then click, COPY SHORTCUT: http://dummiefunnies.blogspot.com/atom.xml

3. Click the ADD button in the upper left of the RSS Reader. The link should automatically appear in the Dialogue Box (paste it in if it doesn't appear). Then simply follow the instructions.

4. YOU'RE DONE!!! Yes it is just that simple. Now whenever you click on the RSS Reader Icon on the bottom of your screen, you will see the latest DUFU editions as well as everything else you want to subscibe to. Best of all everything is FREE!

The great thing about using the RSS Reader is that the Web pages are automatically Podcast to you as they are updated. As a practical example, I like to read the daily Media Research Center updates. However, often the updates are not yet available when I check in so I have subscribe to the MRC via my RSS Reader. Now I will be updated on the latest MRC info as they are loaded on that site. One more thing...If you are on the road, you can also use the Web based BLOGLINES Reader so you can access your podcast feeds from ANY computer. I find Bloglines to be a great supplement to the RSS Reader.

Finally, in case you think I am some sort of expert in all this...I learned ALL of this just last night so ANYBODY out there can set up the RSS Reader in just minutes. For info junkies like me, it is a dream come true. Oh, and don't forget to include the DUmmie FUnnies in the MANY sites you will be subscribing (free) to. Heh..heh..

"He became anti-occupation when Cindy Sheehan nailed his ass." WP had written an essay on why America needed to stay the course. . . . Cindy very publically corrected him and told him what a disservice he was doing to the anti-war movement. WP backpedaled, explained what he "really" meant, and has now become anti-occupation since birth.

That's our Pitt, backpedaling as fast as he can!

SELF-RECANTED EVENING
Tune: "Some Enchanted Evening"

Self-recanted evening,
When you see the flip-flops,
You may see where Pitt stops
Across the DUmmieland.
And somehow you know,
You know even then,
That sometime you'll see him
Recant once again.

Self-aggrandized weaving,
Bloviating windbag,
Going where the wind blows,
Not knowing where to stand.
He'll write to the left--
That's left to go right--
Will's so busy dancing,
He can't sleep at night.

Who can explain Pitt?
Who can tell you why?
Will gives two versions,
Neither one can fly.

Some fantastic FReeping!
Someone may be laughing,
You may hear the laughing
Among the DUFU fans.
And night after night,
When we go to bed,
That sound is our laughter--
Will Pitt's in our thread!

Once we have DUFUed
Will Pitt's swing and miss,
Then he'll discover
He can't recant this!

[That attack on Pitt explains why he was so desperate to visit that Texas Ditch and get back in Cindy's good graces. Pitt needed to maintain his "credibility" with his fellow Leftist Loons.]

Twin spin!

MAKE ME KNOWN, COUNTRY ROAD
Tune: "Take Me Home, Country Roads"

Almost hades, Crawford Texas
Bush Ranch protest, Sheehan doin' talk shows
Press is out there, underneath the tree
Lookin' for some talkers, might as well be me

Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road

All my DUmmies rally round me
Mindless, lazy, looking for a leader
Read my bloggings, written on the fly
Boring waste of bandwidth, glazing of the eye

Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road

I wear a hat, in the mirror I see Eastwood
The ladies on DU think I'm hot when I pose
But sweatin' in the sun I get the feelin'
That I should have worn some lighter clothes, lighter clothes

Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road

Country road, make me known
To the place I belong
Guest opinion, TV pundit
Make me known, country road . . .

Pitt responds:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5411524&mesg_id=5412680

So here's my question: if you are, in fact, wandering around Washington with a big skewer in your hand, and this is known, and it is also known that you have it in for every politician you meet, how is it you get so many 'sources' to talk to you? If you're such a badass, who in their right mind would tell you anything? Especially in this White House?

I, flatly, don't believe you. Whenever I use a source, I name them. Period. You have disdain for teachers of journalism, but this former journalism teacher thinks sticking to the basic protocols is a wise idea. Yes, anonymous sources are part of the game. For you, for the 'big stories' that always seem to get this place in a twist, anonymous sources are the whole game.

Yes, you apologized for Terrance Wilkerson. But how many more Wilkersons are there lurking beneath your by-line? How many people are selling you hooey, which you are more than happy to print under the anonymous-source rubric?

It is hard enough working to make the alt-mdia a legitimate news source without having publications like CHB roll the rock back down the hill. If it satisfies you to burnish your credentials and publish hatchet-pieces with bad facts under your name, so be it. I don't trust you any further than I could throw you, many feel the same as I do, and you have no one to blame for that but yourself.

But you won't see this, because you don't pay attention to forums. Alas. It's too bad, because post 34 above asks a bunch of good questions.

We all are evolving .....That includes Mr. Pitt.

Soon he will evolve out of the crawling stage.

the drunken public spectacles. . . .

Would that be like "beer goggles"? I think Willie uses those when he goes pub-crawling.

It was all in plain sight for anyone with eyes to see...though Will is a cameleon so you have to watch closely

[I've always thought of Pitt as a snake but I ACCEPT your characterization of him as a "cameleon." (Is that a camel that can change colors?)]

You're both on the right track...the rare WRPitt Viper, recognized by its beady eyes, forked tongue, and ever-changing camoflauge as it tries to fit in to a particular setting; known by its repeated attempts to set itself up as an expert in any given field, its namedropping habits, and its flamboyant displays before a camera lens.

Interesting this guy posted an article and apology on FR back in July 2003.
Add to that he's registered here with a date of July 22, 1998.
Speaks with forked tongue.

Give Pitt credit for fleecing the flock when he turned a horrible interview with the Burger King peodophile and turned it into a phamphlet he could sell to the unwashed.

PM Pitt. . . .

Our William Rivers Pitt IS related, btw, to the two prime ministers of England named William Pitt (father and son) from the late 1700s-early 1800s. Maybe that's why our little Lord Will hates America so. "Bloody colonists!"

Was he really named William "Rivers" Pitt at birth. . . ?

No, he added that when he started his blog. See his essay, "A Rivers Runs Truthout."

Seriesly, though, I think the "Rivers" is genuine, seeing as how his dad is named Charles Redding Smith. The appellation doesn't fall far from the tree.

When WRP picks up a bottle, he really needs to put down the keyboard. . . . his propensity to post arrogant nonsense while drunk. . . .

That explains the "Ty" threads.

BOUNCER FROM NEW ORLEANS
Tune: "City of New Orleans"

Writing 'bout a bouncer from New Orleans,
Plenty of Pitt--ain't no one I love more!
Pass the made-up facts in with the twaddle,
Full of Will's rambling speech galore.
Mid the grunts of barroom bouncers
And the sounds from here in Cheers,
Still my brilliance echoes through the rooms!
DUmmies with their minds asleep
Are buying all the crap I sweep--
This yarn's got the scent of certain barnyard fumes!

Good making DUmmieland my barroom!
Don't you know me, I'm so full of it!
I'm the guy who uses bouncers from New Orleans,
I'll be gone five hundred lines 'cause I'm Willie Pitt!

I believe he did send a planter.

This sounds like a job for our Official Foliage Finder, Repub4bush, Tracer of Lost Foliage! Can you verify? Repeat: Can you verify?

I see him having a "voice" in the Progressive Movement as a "Poet". . . .

He's the Edgar Allen Poet of the Prog Blogs. See his essay, "The Pitt and the Ponderous."

You may remember that he also attacked Andy's credibility shortly before Andy died.

I call that, "The Day the Dam Burst." Journalist Pitt had been Chief Shill for UndieCo . . . then he raised questions about the claims of Undie the Fundee . . . then he got beat up a bit by the Undielings . . . then he stuck his wet finger in the air and recanted and went back to Team Andy. But Will's wavering is what opened up the flood gates of doubt. And that of course is what killed Andy. WILL PITT KILLED ANDY. That graveyard rat.

Even Leftists Laugh At Pied Piper Pitt

After this thread, we may have to call him, "Pie-eyed Piper Pitt."
