Thanks, Simon Cowell. Apparently the life has already been sucked out of you. |
No, just because you told a "joke" that wasn't funny doesn't mean that anyone has had the life sucked out of them. It just means that your "joke" was completely lame and you aren't very funny. Don't go blaming other people for your own shortcomings. |
Sorry, I didn't realize you were the elected official Determiner of Good Humor for DC. If Fenty isn't reelected will you stay in your present exalted position? Please let us know, because if not, Gray's got my vote. |
Different poster. I didn't think it was funny either. Just pathetic. |
Sort of hijacking a little here, but I was just curious if 10:39 and 20:45 would be interested in purchasing a brand new scooter chair from the Scooter Store? |
Went back and re-read this to see if there was any context to make it a joke. Nope. Got to love it when folks without a grain of wit in their soul accuse others of being humorless. This "joke" was about as funny as your average Rush Limbaugh screed. Not particularly offensive, just without any humor content whatsoever. Perhaps if you were to add rainbow colored suspenders and a ventriloquist's dummy. |
The point I was trying to make is that if YOU feel something is not funny, how does that automatically make it unfunny altogether for anyone? How do you come to that conclusion? As far as the suspenders and the dummy, if you are trying to unload something, please try Craigslist. We're talking about a political discussion here. Are you really so naive to think that some silly comment on DCUM is going to undermine the reputations of two public figures who have been fighting accusations of mismanagement, graft, dishonesty and political favortism for months? I'm not saying these accusations are true but the ridiculous offense you have taken to such an innocuous comment makes me wonder if you are some immediate member of the Fenty camp. There is such a thing as context-please try and think outside of the box a little. |
Just one last comment: I'm not offended. It's just that the comment was *objectively* not funny. It fails to rise to the level of chickens crossing the road, or newspapers that are black and white and read all over. To find it funny is symptomatic of a deep character flaw. It's less offensive than a whoopee cushion which has more wit. If anyone has been offended by this "joke", it's Baubo, the Greek goddess of humor. Not funny. |
Hilarious! Not. Sorry, even less funny and more pathetic than the original joke. Keep trying, though! |
Now that was clever. |
It's also about style. Fenty comes off as an arrogant adolescent, Gray comes off as an adult. I know neither's perfect. |
14:22, I can only hope that for your relatives and co-worker's sake, you are only this pompous and self-aggrandizing when anonymous. Although, I kind of doubt it. |
Hey, look everybody! The lobby at Leisure World has a hot spot! |
to the actual Question...it shows she's very dedicated to the work she's doing here and recognizes that she's a huge part of why some people support Fenty. I don't live in DC (MD) but I think it seems like Fenty's done a great job and just failed to kiss enough butts along the way. Things are hardly peachy re: jobs but DC is not unique in this respect - there happens to be a horrible reciession going on. Despite that, DC has done a pretty good job of improving in a lot of areas and is working very very hard to turn around one of its biggest liabilities: its schools.
all this talk about being able to carry on after Rhee leaves is BS. if she goes things will fall apart I think since the new person is going to prioritize "making nice" rather than focusing on the needed changes. That's pretty much what Gray is trying to promise. |
Like Jay Mathews.... ewwwwww! Super ick! Seriously, though. The Fenty speculation was previously about Ximena Hartsock. |
