Filing a DIVORCE Motion

A Modest Proposal.

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, et al:


We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course.

Our two ideological sides of America cannot, and will not ever agree on what is right, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile, chalk it up to irreconcilable differences, and go our own way.

Here is a model dissolution agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that it should be relatively easy!
Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes. We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.

Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military.

You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move them).

We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies, and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's, and rednecks.

We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .

You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.

You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or way of life are under assault, we'll provide them job security. We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. But we will no longer be paying the bill.


We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find. You can give everyone healthcare, if you can find any practicing doctors. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.

We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem.
I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing,



Kum Ba Ya, or We Are the World.


We'll practice trickle down economics, and you can give trickle up poverty its best shot. Since it often so offends you we'll keep our history, our name, and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so please pass it along to other like minded patriots, and if you do not agree, just hit delete and hang on. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR on who will need whose help in 15 years.

Although outdated I love the following:

Jimmy Kimmel on the Republicans


And the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, gave his annual State of the State address this morning. And while you might think that after five years in office, he has run out of cute references to his own movies. But he most certainly has not, because he made reference to Conan's sword in today's speech. All that's left is for him to tell the Board of Education about 'Kindergarten Cop,' right?

The real challenge, though, is for Joe Biden because he's got to figure out how to get Dick Cheney out of the vice presidential mansion. As you know, Dick Cheney is armed and has a history of shooting old men.

So far, more than 10,000 acres have been burned. Yesterday, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered a state of emergency to be declared. Or he might have ordered a steak with burgundy and an eclair. It's hard to tell. It's times like these when we think twice about electing a former bodybuilder from the black forest. Last time we had a big fire - he tried to slather it with baby oil.

California is not an easy state to be Governor of, but here's how I see it, everyplace has something you have to worry about - Louisiana has hurricanes, Texas has tornadoes, here we have earthquakes, wildfires and Heather Locklear behind the wheel. You make do.​
One of the big themes for convention speakers was that we need to elect a Republican that will go in and clean up the mess in Washington. I think that’s a great lesson for kids -- always clean up your own mess.

Obviously, they're keeping the less popular Republicans out of the spotlight. President Bush gave a speech last night which couldn't have been more than five minutes long. Dick Cheney is in Azerbaijan, which I think is the farthest possible point from Minneapolis on the globe, and they actually locked Senator Larry Craig in the convention center men's room. Either that or he locked himself in, I'm not sure.

Bill Maher on the Republicans

Speaking of Alaskans who won't go away, you know who Ted Stevens is, right? He's the 84-year-old convicted felon and senator from Alaska who, even though he's a convicted felon, was running for office and basically tied the other guy. It looked like he was ahead, they're still contesting it. Now they say he's behind in the vote count. Whether he wins or not, he's going to prison. It's just way better to have your cellmate introduce you as 'my distinguished colleague,' as opposed to 'my handsome frog.'

The Republicans, who had 3 candidates who proudly said they did not believe in Evolution...which became ironic when their campaigns quickly died off in favor of stronger, fitter campaigns.


Jon Stewart on the Republicans

So you feel like your party is the only one that can fix the damage your party has done?

Bill Maher on the the Republicans

Thirty-eight million people watched Barack Obama at the stadium in Denver. There were 84,000 full-throated supporters who turned out there at the field. The Republicans fired back today. They say, 'We can also fill a stadium with thousands of screaming people. For example, the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina.'​

Amy Poehler on the Republicans

The runoff in the Georgia Senate race was won this week by Saxby Chambliss, who is the incumbent Republican senator and not, as I believed, an obscure font.

Senator Larry Craig asked the court on Wednesday to void the guilty plea he made, following his arrest last year in a bathroom sex sting operation. Then, when the request was denied, he asked if he could use the bathroom.​

Seth Meyers on the Republicans

Yesterday, the Republican National Committee selected Michael Steele, an African American, as their new party chairman. You guys know it doesn't work with just any black guy, right?

Conan O'Brien on the Republicans

This weekend, the Republican National Committee elected their first-ever African-American chairman. His name is Michael Steele, or as he's known in the Republican Party, 'the black guy.'

The Republican party is considering naming the first African-American chairman in their party's history. Isn't that incredible? That's big news. First African-American, yeah. Yeah, unfortunately, Republicans are having a hard time finding an African-American who's white.

The Republican Party is considering choosing an African-American to be their party’s chairman. Yeah. Unfortunately, neither guy wants the job.

The governor of California is the actor and former body builder, Arnold Schwarzenegger. He announced that he opposes Proposition 8. Proposition 8 is the proposition in California that would ban gay marriage. ... Arnold also opposes Proposition 14, which would require all Governors of California to speak some English.

Speaking of politics, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently said that in the 1970s, he smoked marijuana. Yeah. Apparently, Arnold got so stoned, you could understand every word he was saying.

Craig Ferguson on the Republicans

The new season of 'Lost' kicked off tonight. If you haven't seen it, 'Lost' is about a group of desperate people out of touch with the world. It's based on the true story of the Republican Party.

The Pentagon is buying a portrait of Donald Rumsfeld for $46,000. But it will probably cost 10 times that, serve no real purpose, and never be finished. Remind you of anything?

This weekend, Karl Rove said John McCain's attack ads have gone too far. When Karl Rove says you've gone too far, that's like Mel Gibson saying you’ve had too much to drink.

Good one! Especially #9. Sounds like it could be about the Demo's mentality the night before their 'VOTE' when they locked the Republicans out of their "Stimulous Package" porkbarrel-love-in they were having :D

DANM! I feel like a Liberal...
Here I am on a VISTA computer forum, don't know a bloody thing about my computer but have just noticed that there is a little M/S-type of logo beside my name awarding me a "SKILLED" degree.

Twenty-One posts and I am SKILLED :sarc: ?

The overwhelming lion's share of my awarded expertise was gained in an [unskilled, know nothing about the subject part of the forum] and I now have a 'SKILLED' DEGREE in BS :geek: COOL!

I like this place :party:

That is my point exactly. I DON'T deserve any 'rep' points. The Chillout Room is a diversion for frustrated computer people. This is a Computer Forum. 'Reps' should be awarded for Computer Knowledge not being a wise-a$$.

I am only having a little fun here; Mr. Moderator, take my 'reps'... in computer knowledge, I have "damn little" :(

"Thank You Mr. Moderator"

No more "REPS" and no more "SKILLED" ... a lot of the Liberals in the National spotlight should take notice ;)

Giving REPS to someone for posting in the CHILLOUT is as foolish as someone trolling for them, or declaring Al Gore an authority on anything, or B.O. being elected President on a promise of 'free ice-cream'.

You probably don't understand that last comment, let me help;

Ice Cream & The Election

A most excellent analogy!

From a teacher in the Nashville area.




Who worries about "the cow" when it is all about the "Ice Cream?

The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year.

The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest.

I decided we would have an election for a class president.



We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.

To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members.

We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have.



We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.

The class had done a great job in their selections.

Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother.



The day arrived when they were to make their speeches Jamie went first.

He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place.

He ended by promising to do his very best.


Everyone applauded. He sat down and Olivia came to the
podium. Her speech was concise.



She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down.

The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream."

She surely could say more. She did not have to.

A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure.

Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it? She didn't know.

The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream.



Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide.

Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and fifty-two percent of the people reacted like nine year olds.

They want ice cream.



The other forty-eight percent of us know we're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess. :party:
