Actually, he died months ago. They had him stuffed so they could keep his vote.

Elebenty!!
The Chipko movement or Chipko Andolan (Hindi:चिपको आन्दोलन) (literally “to stick” in Hindi) is a socio-ecological movement that practised the Gandhian methods of satyagraha and non-violent resistance, through the act of hugging trees to protect them from being felled. The modern Chipko movement started in the early 1970s in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand,[1] with growing awareness towards rapid deforestation. The landmark event in this struggle took place on March 26, 1974, when a group of female peasants in Reni village, Hemwalghati, in Chamoli district, Uttarakhand, India, acted to prevent the cutting of trees and reclaim their traditional forest rights that were threatened by the contractor system of the state Forest Department, and transpired hundreds of such grassroot level actions, throughout the region. By the 80s, the movement spread throughout India, and led to formulation of people sensitive forest policies and stopping of open felling of trees in regions as far reaching as Vindhyas and the Western Ghats.[2]
The first recorded event of Chipko however, took place in village Khejarli, Jodhpur district, in 1730 AD, when 363 Bishnois, led by Amrita Devi sacrificed their lives while protecting green Khejri trees, considered sacred by the community, by hugging them, and braved the axes of loggers sent by the local ruler,[3] today it is seen an inspiration and a precursor for Chipko movement of Garhwal.[4][5]
The Chipko movement, though primarily a livelihood movement rather than a forest conservation movement, went on to become a rallying point for many future environmentalists, environmental protests and movements the world over and created a precedent for non-violent protest.[6][7] It occurred at a time when there was hardly any environmental movement in the developing world, and its success meant that the world immediately took notice of this non-violent Tree hugging movement, which was to inspire in time, many such eco-groups, helped in slowing down the rapid deforestation, exposed vested interests, increased ecological awareness, and demonstrate the viability of people power. Above all, it stirred up existing civil society in India like never before, which started looking towards tribal, and marginalized people and their issues like never before. So much so that, quarter a century later, India Today mentioned, the people behind the “forest satyagraha” of the Chipko movement, as amongst “100 people who shaped India”.[8] Today, beyond the eco-socialism hue, it is being seen increasingly as an ecofeminism movement, as though many of its leaders were men, women were not just its backbone, but also its mainstay, because they were the ones most affected by the rampant deforestation,[citation needed] leading to lack of firewood and fodder as well as water of drinking and irrigation. Over the years they also became primary stakeholders in majority of the afforestation work that happened under the Chipko movement.[
I’m confused; I thought the ordinal post rule only applied if they actually said “first”?
i imagine that would be called the “first rule”… elebenty really means heaps of ones anyway so he kind of said the f word lots of times…
and besides… I learned something today
didn’t you?
gift horse, dentures and some such
Stupid HTML fail.
Ordinal Post Rule 101: Ordinal Numbers are for when objects are taken in order. When someone shouts a number for the “First Post”, also known as “The Ordinal Post”, the Ordinal Post Rule comes into play.
Eleventy, although not a true number recognised in mathematics, is a number created by JRR Tolkien and is also commonly used on The Interwebs. “Elebenty”, is a common variant.
Thus, it is a number, and the Ordinal Post Rule applies.
And he would be placed on my mantel.
That’s a helluva conversation piece.
I need to borrow him so I can drive in the HOV lane, ‘k?
Can I borrow him after, for when I drive into the city?
I want him on Halloween. I think he’d make an excellent house decoration.
Aw….I wanted him for Halloween!! Can I have him for Christmas? I could dress him like Santa!
Dammit, I wanted him for Christmas, since I don’t have a tree… Guess it’ll have to be a stolen, fairy-light-ed traffic cone again…
Hey, do you think if I lift his arms I could use him as a coatstand…?
Well, since you don’t have a tree, you can have him for Christmas. I’ll take him for Valentine’s day!
Yay!
Valentines Day?
Dibs on Dia de los Muertos!
I want dibs on Fourth of July too. I want to shoot some fireworks out of his mouth.
I’m still confused why he’d be wanted as a Valentine’s Day decoration….
Awesome on April Fools’ day though…
*opens cupboard*
*Screams*
“Who put that dead senator next to my coat???”
I agree, AC, that is kinda creepy. Justacanuck, there are better ways to get a date for Valentine’s Day than a stuffed senator.
Not if he’s stuffed full of cash!
We’re having a “Sucks to be single” party. I thought he would work as a “this is why I’m single” prop.
Once, when I drove from Tucson to Albuquerque (there mabs I spelled it out for you), I had my friend’s 3′ Banana in Pyjamas riding shotgun with me so I could drive through PHX in rush hour in the carpool lane. When I got into NM I was speeding (I bet you guys are shocked to hear that) and I got pulled over.
Well, Mr. State Trooper approached me from the passenger side rather than the driver side. He stared at my Banana for a good minute before even addressing me. I acted natural, as if riding with a 3′ Banana in Pyjamas is the most normal thing I could be doing. Best. Ticket. Ever.
Ah, you’re sweet to do that for me. (I just put “Albq.”)
I usually put “ABQ”.
*sings* Now I know my A B Q’s, next time won’t me sing with you?
This comment just made my night, DU.
what i wouldn’t pay to see the dash cam on that ticket… or to hear from the state trooper how he explained it to the guys later that night. “so, i pulled this chick over and she’s got a fvcking banana in the passenger seat. mental. fvcking mental…”
….weekend at harrys?….
Bernie’s?
That was then–I gather things have gotten boring since he got married!
…TLL Sam the Eagle.
FTW!
Meh, TLL Sam the eagle apparently works for anyone over the age of 50…
I love this guy.
We hate to inform you…. he died months ago.
*presents Amerikkkan with his stuffed corpse*
Enjoy!
That’s not water he’s drinking. That’s a liquid from “Beer Park”. Why do they make us think these hearings are boring?? I’d like to live near Beer Park.
How, I think it says Deer Park…..did you need a drink, perhaps?
Or beer goggles.
Beer Park!!!
I’m with HOW. Beer Park. Would like to live there too.
It’s like a beer garden, only much larger.
It’s a magical place where the fountains run with free lager and there are nacho trees on every corner.
Where’s his sheet?
Isn’t it ironic that the only member of congress in the KKK is a democrat?…… I wonder how he feels about negr0s and their “dialect”?
Ted is getting lonely down in hell without him.
I think Harry Reid borrowed it.
Do you have a point?
Probably, but difficult to find in all the frothiness.
*lends HOW and Rando towels*
Byrd is very, very, VERY far from the only member of Congress to be a member of a narrowminded racist organization.
And he’s propped up exactly like Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms were, only those two… men… were sitting in Congress for far longer after they were naught but leathery shells than Byrd will ever dream of being.
It’s a normal occurance for the eldery Congressmen to be carted in on everything from stretchers to wheelchairs. I believe there was a case back in the 1800′s of a man on his (near) deathbed being brought in to vote.
WOW, an uninformed liberal, HOW unusual!! please tell me what other members of congress are in the KKK and for your information, Robert Byrd is the longest serving senator EVER so once again, you have no idea what you’re talking about. By the way, Strom Thurmond was once a DEMOCRAT and was never a member of the KKK and neither was Jesse Helms.
I don’t personally know if Strom Thurmond was a member of the KKK or not, but the late Mr. Thurmond did run for president on a segregationist ticket.
And I believe Mr Byrd quit the KKK as a young man, just as Pope Benedict quit the Nazi youth.
That, and forge never said Thurmond was a member of the KKK, just that Byrd wasn’t the only member of narrow minded racists organization.
NINJA!
Also, KKK =/= the only “narrowminded racist organization.”
And Senator Byrd apologized for belonging to the KKK AND worked for equal rights for blacks and really all Americans through out his career. Actions speak loudest.
We all have moments of our youth that we regret. Kind of like the time I helped Saddam make WMD’s. *Family Guyish flashback of me and Saddam working on a bomb in a woodshop*.
Really, I blame the shop teacher for apporoving that project to begin with.
We got a B-.
Well, you’d have gotten the A if you’d actually managed to blow up the gym with it like you had originally planned.
Apparently Saddam was a little confused on what “yellow cake” meant. It was really good cake, though. I gotta give him that.
I was really impressed with the refrigeration unit built entirely out of wood to keep the cake fresh….Though I have to ask, why didn’t you just buy a mini-fridge?
WOW an uninformed douchebag spouting his froth and demonstrating his lack of reading comprehension for all the internet to see!
-”Narrow-minded Racist Organisation” is NOT the same as “KKK”.
-”Was in the KKK” is NOT the same thing as “In the KKK”.
-”..Were sitting in Congress for far longer after they were naught but leathery shells than Byrd will ever dream of being” is NOT the same thing as “Served longer than Byrd”.
But thanks for playing, douchebag! You win spite and ridicule from all the rest of us who can comprehend English and read full sentences!
***Disclaimer, middle quote – not a direct quote, just common knowledge.
But from wow’s comments, apparently NOT common knowledge.
Yes, apparently the common folk have problems differentiating between past and present tense. Silly peasants.
Heh, Thurmond a Democrat. Go Google “Dixiecrat” and come back to me when you’ve learned about history, boy.
It’s not?? *surprise*
Teddy actually died 5 years ago. He was a muppet all the way up until his “death,” which only occurred when some Republicans found the truth.
But wouldn’t the Republicans have died a rather suspcious watery death if that were the case?
There was an agreement between the Republicans and the Democrats that nobody would reveal the truth about Teddy and nobody would get hurt as long as nobody revealed the same truth about McCain.
That explains a lot, actually — his puppeteer must have been a Democrat.
They took turns with him, which is why he waffles so much. “I can be conservative! Wait, no I can’t. Yes, I can! No, I can’t.”
Anything you do Right I do Right better! I can do anything more Lefty than you!
No you can’t!
Yes I can!
No you can’t!
Yes I can yes we can yes I can!!
I know it’s a change of subject, but I totally heard Bill & Hillary singing this.
*goes to check if Barney Frank is dead too*
Barney Frank is in fact undead. Kind of a waste of undead powers really.
That man can wrinkle a shirt and suit so fast–I think only a college student could do it better!
just run opporation guilletine and see how good he could run the country…
I am from West Virginia, and the few hours I have internet a day, I get on your site and I see this! This state wouldn’t be here if not for him. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Maybe we should be but we won’t be.
*skips away laughing at Joel*
Sweet, sweet pork. It’s West Virginia’s top import — even above Mountain Dew.
Maybe you guys should try not sucking for a change?
I can’t believe you would suggest that.
Everyone knows WV is incapable of not sucking.
Wasn’t McCain going to start a public works project in West Va to widen the Internet Tubes so you can get on the internet for a few more hours a day?
It’s 4 in the morning, I’m scanning the boards for the random late nite comments… and then I cackle maniacally and scare 3 people out of the room when I read this… brilliant.
I am totally puzzled regarding what we would be replacing West Virginia with if not for Byrd. A….lake? A black hole? A mysterious grey fog?
Oooh! I vote mysterious gray fog!
It already is a black hole.
Well, just the coal mines.
Nice Jesus blog. Pfft.
west virginia is a very good state to be from, and i suggest putting a lot of distance in that from part
West Byrdginia has had him for far too long. Yes he did bring a lot of stuff to the state, but he brought it in the form of pork. Just try to count all the things he’s got his name tacked onto because of his efforts in diverting federal funding. Every time I went to vote I voted against him hoping things would change.
This is indeed offensive, but the same could have been done with Jesse Helms or Strom Thurmond, and the offense would have been equal. But that’s right, Democrats actually possess some decency, so it wasn’t done. (Yep, damn right I invested in flame-proofing futures. Bring it on! Cha-ching!)
I thought it was amusing.
I have seen no evidence that decency is based on your political alignment. I have met decent and indecent people on both sides.
Offensive how?
No idea myself. I presume US politics is like British (and Swedish?) in that about 80% of the voters who turn out would vote for a stuffed toy (literally) as long as it had the correct rosette on!
It’s really only about a third.
I’m sure that’s true for a percentage of voters. It’s pretty hard to quantify because it’s one of those things that people lie most about on surveys (the number one being sex
).
I think most Americans have a bias against admitting that they are that swayed by party affiliation, so the real question is are the Brits less swayed by that or are they more honest about it? Right now our country is so divided that I suspect you’re probably right.
To be fair, that same statement could be made about most politicians…
That said, someone needs to adjust his stabilizers, he’s starting to list to the left. Or right, depending on your perspective.
as a west virginian i take offence to that
we didnt stuff him, we have specially trained christians that bring his soul back near the end of each year when he keeps dying at random
….we only stuff things we shoot and we havent shot him yet
This lol is simply barbaric….barbaric….BARBARIC……BARBARIC……BARBARIC….
Regardless of what you think of Byrd as a person or as a political figure, the senile old coot needs to throw in the towel.
(YouTube “Byrd Barbaric” if you don’t get the reference.)
