They’re always so loud. Mostly they seem to appeal a lot to people who want to announce that I am he who has shit I have to shred cause unlike your shit my shit is superimportant shit as you can hear from your cube way over there. That’s my shit. Shredding it to bits I am cause it’s important. You wish you had shit worthy of shredding, but you don’t. You don’t even have your own printer.
Fuckers.
What I will say, though, is this. In previous generations in previous nations only the rich could have shredders, to shred documents that only the rich would have. God bless America.

‘cleo–
Do you mind if I just use that as the first comment to every post I make?
Because, you know, then you wouldn’t have to come by so often.
Let’s take your nationwide moratorium on the death penalty, for example (though there are numerous others I could use). That’s fine with me, because I’m against capital punishment anyway (because conservatives are so lockstep). I’ll tell you what. You place a moratorium on abortion and it’s a deal.
I want to know where Cleo copypasta’d that from.
I think semanticleo’s comment would require a larger shredder than the Constitutional one. the Constitution is what? three pages?
What is your cut, Dan?
Can we distribute that product further further East of the USA border?
12. Legalize federally funded stem cell research
Saw that one at a glance. Dude, it’s like totally legal. And making huge advances, too. Where have you been?
I’m offended, sashal. This is pharmaceutical grade constitution we’re talking about here.
Techie- http://www.thenexthurrah.typepad.com
You forgot about Bigfoot, Nessie, Area 51, and Bldg. 7.
If I had ever wondered about Cleo’s general competence, they have just been confirmed beyond faintest shred of doubt.
The kind of thing that gets people convicted.
Here, Cleo, let me help…
Shorter Cleo: Kill all Republicans, tax ourselves into prosperity and turn over authority to the unelected despots of the UN.
How about arrest and imprisonment for anyone who thinks that waterboarding of suspects is pervasive? Or public lashes for those who claim that Abu Ghraib is worse than Al Qaeda?
1. Why?
2. Why?
3. Why?
4. Why?
5. OK. Maybe.
6. Why? Fools and their money are soon parted regardless of how many fuckin’ laws you pass trying to protect them.
7. Why?
8. OK.Maybe.
9. Definitely. Starting with that sleazy fuckin’ congressman from down there.
Oh hell. Fuck it. Lost cause.
Haha, notice the first few things on that list are all to the benfit of murderous jihadi terrorists. You are truly a miserable sack of shit, cleo. Or should I say Achmed?
Sure – CD’s, credit cards, no problem.
But what about the occasional dismembered hobo?
11. Fix voting – investigate Diebold
I thought that Diebold already fixed the voting, except for the 2006…
What?
Oh.
I think I prefer this one, Dan: http://tinyurl.com/yspvzk
It says it fits in the kitchen so it would be perfect for making quotesalad.
I don’t know about you, but cleo has convinced me!
You owe me about 2.4 ounces of Snake Dog, Pablo.
Nothing would please me more than a detailed investigation into the decision-making that screwed over New Orleans. Maybe semanticstain could hold off on that moratorium on the death penalty until that’s over with.
11. Fix voting
I have zero doubt that there are some election-fixing impulses being stoked, over there.
All that aside, I agree with maybe a half-dozen of cleo’s desires. But unless she’s wearing her ruby slippers, there’s no place like making any of it happen.
Cleo, meet datadave.
You’re assuming it would be honest and would contrast the actions taken in Mississippi and Alabama, right?
Never happen.
Well, as long as we’re in la-la land, we can suppose anything we like. I suppose such an investigation would be peopled with honest folks who know what they’re talking about, rather than the inevitable collection of clueless, corrupt partisan dipshits that would comprise an actual investigation.
But, you know, Bush really ought to have ordered a review of the levee system before the hurricane, as the micromanager-in-chief.
That’s nice, B Moe, but probably not big enough for us. Maybe when the kids move out.
Cleo left off the part where anyone who has voted Republican in the past 16 years is rounded up and sent to “Benevolent Re-Education Centers”, since we’re too dangerous to have running about willy-nilly.
That was an O-Dub sized heaping of moonbat loonwaffliness there, Miss Cleo. Time to up the lithium.
Smantypants’ comment is what the suits in the psych ward would call “a classic cry for help.”
Or so I’ve heard.
