Botched Joke

A "Botched Joke" has occurred when progressives seek to forestall any opposition use of a democrat quoted reciting a conceit held commonly among progressives, though not among the general voting public, by a campaign of obfuscation and phony outrage.

The most obnoxious display of this occurred when Sen. John Kerry expressed the typical progressive view that the ranks of our country's military enlistees are comprised of uneducated poors who couldn't know better and are therefor themselves properly understood to be additional victims of "Bush's wars", saying:

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

Kerry and his supporters claimed that this was a "botched joke" which was intended to mock Pres. Bush. In service of this silly claim, they offered up a half-dozen alternative, "original" versions which added and rearranged words and punctuation. Progressives begged the question, "Why would Kerry commit political suicide by joking at the troops' expense?" when it is clear from the video of his comments that Kerry intended no humor whatsoever. As if to undermine their own false narrative, progressives simultaneously praised Kerry for displaying the political courage to tell the truth about America's "poverty draft".

It would seem that progressives are going to handle Obama's 'You didn't build that' remark by giving it the Botched Joke treatment.

This Door Swings Both Ways

'This Door Swings Both Ways' is a song written by Estelle Levitt and Don Thomas and performed by Herman's Hermits of Manchester, England. Surprisingly serious thoughts behind a cheery, light melody. Recorded in 1966.

lyrics:

Everyone's life is bittersweet
It's a door that opens wide
And no man can call himself complete
Till he's seen it from both sides

This door swings both ways
It's marked 'In' and 'Out'
Some days you'll want to cry
And some days you will shout

This door swings both ways
It goes back and forth
In comes a southern breeze
Or a cold wind from the north

This door swings both ways
Lets in joy and pain
In comes the morning sun
And then the evening rain

This door swings both ways
Lets in dark and light
Every day you make the choice
To let in wrong or right

When shadows fall
You must prepare yourself for sunshine
For everything there is an end
And so my friend you must be brave

This door swings both ways
Which one will it be
Will we live in happiness
Or dwell in misery

This door swings both ways
Lets in earth and sky
Make the most of livin'
If you're not prepared to die
Make the most of livin'
If you're not prepared to die

i put both

A slang that originated from Game Gossip forums, which soon spread to other forums including Edgenetwork. The term came first from a thread where the thread starter talked about crackers and then later a guy responded ''i put both'' with GG's Evil Smile.
