And The DICK Goes To...(Awarding our Leaders)
by Heather Wokusch

Now that the Oscars are over and the best escapist diversions for the year have been chosen, it's time for a new award: the coveted DICK. Named after US vice president Dick Cheney, the DICK honors outstanding achievements in the art of duping the masses and using public resources for personal gain, and while this year's competition was understandably cut-throat, some DICKS clearly stand above the rest.

[I Will Deny You]

When I was an aspiring young actress in Vermont and DC, I dreamed of winning an Oscar someday. Now I know why I grew up to be labeled "anti-American" by the right wing . . . I should have been dreaming of winning a DICK! I should have been practicing my mass-duping and resource-wasting skills instead of reading plays and examining the human condition!

This article left something to be desired, however. Where are the acceptance speeches and Joan Rivers fashion reports?

Still crying about the election, eh? Stealing means winning after three recounts? You all sound like a bunch of DICKS to me. Dreaming of winning an Oscar. What a lofty goal. Are you still 'aspiring' or have you finally achieved brain-death?

Are you still 'aspiring' or have you finally achieved brain-death?There should have been a re-vote. We all know that those people didn't mean to vote for Buchanan. And yes, every time I see Bush make some stupid mistake that Gore would not have made, I want to cry.

Since you couldn't even be bothered to take 30 seconds and sign up, I'm sure that you haven't read all of my posts. But a few people here probably remember that I'm very interested in acting. So what if I was dreaming of winning an Oscar when I was ten years old? For your information, I'm still involved in community theater. Why is it that everyone thinks that all actresses are idiots? It's harder than a lot of people think. (And, for your information, I never have to give blow jobs to get into the local production of "Damn Yankees", so don't even think about calling me a whore.) I'd like to see you debate with Sharon Stone with your snotty attitude.

Kinda crude, but funny!

I would have said best supporting DICK, would be Tony Blair!

Best foreign DICK the UN organisation!

Life time achievement award Rupert Murdoch for consistently upholding freedom of speech!

Best visual effects: LA Police Dept archives. [PC version]

Resistance is Futile!

Why would I call you a whore? I was just poking fun at actors in general. You have to admit, Hollywood is full of flakes. But I don't think ALL actresses are idiots. In fact, my sister is an actress, and she's very intelligent. But that aside, the fact that a lot of people didn't take the privilege and right of voting seriously enough to take the time to do it CORRECTLY is not Bush's fault. The majority of voters that used that same ballot figured it out. That's not enough to warrant a re-vote. That will just wake people up for the next election. And pardon my "snotiness", but after reading the posts on this forum, I thought "asshole" was the dress-code.

Why are people so wound up about signing up? We're all anonymous. I could sign up (in fact, I have before) but what difference does it make? If guests are not tolerated, then why are they permitted? Would having a member name make any difference to you when you read my post? Why do you care? Do you need a name to direct your insult at? An identifiable enemy? Does it cost you a damn thing? Don't you have lots of other things to be pissed-off about? I know you do. If guests are banned, I'm not going to be heart-broken. I actually have a life. I occasionally read this forum for entertainment. Holy shit is it entertaining!

Sharon Stone?! Wow. She's the mother of all flakes. Ding-bat self-absorbed philosophizing in its purest form. Her big words and pseudo-intellectual babble sound impressive at first. To some folks. Like in these parts.

Anyway, I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting an Oscar. I've got my dreams too. One of them is opening up the craniums of tough guys like some of the folks here. They think they're hard, and they can't wait for the day of reckoning, when the Revolution that they fantasize about comes to pass. It's not going to boys and girls. And even if you make a half-assed go at it, you're going to get mopped up bad. I hate it for you. But if it actually comes about that you try to take up arms against American citizens, I will definitely get me some 'revolutionaries'. Promise. I'm more prepared than you are. Just so you don't get upset, I'll sign this with a cool name like the others here:

Skull & Cross Bones

I like him, atleast he is honest. :)
