I did read the title of the thread. I assumed Stoid meant “proof” in an ironic sense.

Nobody else who has read any of her 15,000 foaming at the mouth Bush bashing threads thought she was being anything but completely serious. The OP sounds just like everything else she posts, how are we supposed to know which ones are serious, which ones are ironic and which ones are jokes? They all sound _exactly the same._

Yes, and all paintings appear alike to me when I look at them with my ankles.

I hasten to reassure Dopers concerned with **WierdDave’s** mental health and well-being that the utter absence of a sense of humor is not, necessarily, a symptom of Cognitive Dissonance (the number one threat to our Republic).

I can only hope that Tucker, that most remarkably canny creature, is given ample opportunity to pass his genetic advantages along to future generations. Not that I support a program of doggy eugenics, just that I think such a splendidly acute judge of character should have ample opportunities to shag a shitzu, boink a poodle, and _chinga_ a chihuahua.

Tell Tucker that his **Uncle e.** sends a well-chewed and slobbered tennis ball of affection!

Might you trace his agression back to an intolerant Mother Tucker?

You know, I think she might be joking, but I have no way of knowing because as I said, all of her posts sound the same. So, this time Chicken Little is kidding about the sky falling, but her other outrageous statements should be taken seriously, is that it? How does one tell? More importantly for Stoid, at what point does one spend all of their credibility and become a posting charactcher of themself? At this point, if Stoid posted a well resoned, factually supported, fully cited, complete with pictures OP proving that Dubya had sex with goats, many people would prolly ignore it because of the source. Is that a good thing?

I suppose, maybe. But keep in mind that to the tone-deaf, the _Ode to Joy_ sounds like a drum solo.

Please consider the possibility that you are the only person (thus far) to react as though **Stoid** (who bears a remarkable resemblance to Elvira, Mistress of the Dark) were intent on having her dog’s opinion taken seriously. I mean, really, **Dave** , you honestly didn’t get it? Hell, the woman is damn near as smart as _me_!

Cultivate humor, lad. Some Mark Twain, some P.G. Wodehouse, some Bill Hicks, some Richard Pryor. Its good for you, better than diets, vitamins, and yoga put together. I don’t mean you’ll necessarily live longer. I mean its good for your soul, and that’s what counts.

And just so you know, when I rag on somebody, I’m kidding. My friends are pretty funny, my enemies are downright hilarious.

So you are saying that Stoid is in violation of board rules by posting a joke thread in the Pit?

My dog doesn’t seem to like him either, he pees on every bush he sees.

First, _EWWWWWWWWWW!!!_

Second, there are two ways to take this OP. Either it is serious, and stoid is taking a canine’s political reactions (political reactions that I happen to agree with)to heart, and is serious about it. Or this is a joke thread, which should be MPSIMS. No two ways about it. If **stoid** had half the brain of her dog, she’d just come back, apologize for putting this in the wrong forum, and move on to her 1,325th thread pounding on Bush. Again, not that he doesn’t deserve a good pounding, but rabid, blind partisianship like hers makes it tough to take the rest of us seriously.

Third, _EWWWWWWWWWW!!!_

**Stoid** , maybe Tucker has detected a Terminator. Remember:

“The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy. But these are new. They look human. Sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot.”

I recommend testing this theory by showing your dog clips of the current governer of California.

I will take your non sequitur as an admission that I am correct and that Stoid is in violation of Pit rules.

You’ve now wasted three posts complaining that she “broke Pit rules”. Quit being a whiny bitch. If you think she did it, report her. If not, quit your bitching.

You Junior-Modding Rule Nazis get on my damn nerves.
